The stalemate between the two lasted until midnight, still without resolution. Mayaâs frustration grew increasingly stifled, increasingly uncomfortable, to the point where she even wanted to have a huge argument with Liam, asking him what his intentions were.But she was unwilling to start trouble, so with a "snap," she threw the book on the nightstand, and with a "whoosh," she slipped under the quilt to sleep.
Only after she got into the quilt, she couldnât fall asleep at all. Instead, she became more and more awake, increasingly agitated.
As time went on into the night, her emotions changed from agitation and impatience to feeling aggrieved. Alone, she curled up into a ball in the corner of the big bed, secretly wiping tears, and even had the impulse to go home.
She no longer wanted to stay in Liamâs villa. This inexplicable coldness was unbearable, and she didnât want to accept it either.
If it were a few months ago, Maya wouldnât have cared about Liamâs indifferent attitude. But they had clearly reconciled, had been good for so long, how could he suddenly ignore her? Isnât this inexplicable?
At this moment, she finally could feel the extent of Ellaâs grievances; at this moment, she was that kind of aggrieved.
In the study room, Liam saw the quilt curled up into a ball and knew that this little person hadnât fallen asleep yet, and was feeling aggrieved.
Thinking about her crying alone under the quilt, Liam couldnât bear it anymore. This was just how he was: no matter how angry he was, as soon as Mayaâs eyes turned red, all his anger couldnât hold up.
However, he didnât realize that Maya felt aggrieved because she cared about him, liked him, thatâs why she cared about him.
So, he took a deep breath and calmly said, "I saw Big Sister today."
Under the quilt, Maya listened to Liamâs explanation, her tears suddenly stopped, her eyes opened wide, pondering his words.
Given her understanding of Jane Spencer, even if the siblings argued today, Jane would not let it go; she would definitely say something to provoke her relationship with Liam.
However, the only thing that might make Liam unhappy was her secret admiration for Lillian Morris. Liam liked her so much, he would naturally mind this.
Thinking of this, Maya stopped feeling aggrieved, wiped her tears, kicked off the quilt, got out of bed barefoot, and quickly headed for the study in the bedroom, blinking her big eyes as she stood in front of the desk, pouting, looking very unhappy at Liam.
Liam looked at the girlâs sullen face, and instead of soothing her, he calmly said, "Put on your shoes."
Though Liam felt depressed, he still cared about Maya, afraid she might get sick again.
Maya listened to the manâs concern, took a deep breath, then walked around to Liamâs side, tugged at his arm, making him look at her.
At this moment, Liam put down the documents in his hand, took a deep breath, looked straight ahead at Maya.
Maya looked at the manâs deep gaze, sat on top of him, cupping his handsome face, and seriously said, "Youâve been misled by Big Sister."
Faced with Mayaâs accusation, Liam didnât deny it, he just said somewhat painfully, "Hm... I minded it."
Liamâs confession made Maya feel pained, thinking, if Liam had another girl in his heart, she would feel bad too!
She stared straight into Liamâs eyes, thinking about her feelings for him. If she didnât like him, why would she care so much about his attitude towards her? If she didnât like him, why would she think of him in her most helpless moments? Why would she feel pained when he wasnât happy?
Maya realized she liked Liam; this feeling was different from her feelings for Lillian Morris. She had possessiveness towards Liam, expectations, wanting to spend a lifetime with him. Towards Lillian Morris, it was more gratitude.
So, she leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips, saying, "Liam, I like you."
Mayaâs sudden confession surprised Liam. He held his breath, looking at her in disbelief. He even doubted, doubted that she was just trying to make him happy.
Maya saw the manâs look of doubtful surprise, took a deep breath, and continued, "Liam, I like you; genuinely, not just to make you happy. I want to spend a lifetime with you, want you to belong to only me; when youâre unhappy, Iâm sad too; I like messing around with you, like when you smile at me, like when you spoil me."
"Stop ignoring me; itâs so stifling, so uncomfortable. Youâre making me feel like everything is pointless. I even want to go home."
As she spoke, Maya started feeling aggrieved again, her eyes turned red, her little mouth pouted unhappily, like a little victim.
However, Liamâs eyes lit up with a smile; the current Maya was too adorable, not just cold but also very candid. He liked this candid Maya.
Seeing Liam finally show a happy smile, Maya pouted her lips, raised her small hand, and lightly hit Liamâs shoulder, chirping, "Youâre so annoying, such a big person, and still needing others to coax you, so childish."
Liam questioned, "So, your earlier words were just to make me happy, to coax me?"
"No way, even the punctuation marks are true. Youâre already as important as my mom in my heart." Maya kneaded his face, her mood instantly brightened.
Liamâs brow furrowed slightly at the mention of mom, but he immediately returned to normal, then spread his arms to pull Maya close, tightly hugging her.
Her petite body hugged within, making him feel particularly at ease.
Maya felt the manâs warmth, her arms around his neck, her little face pressed closely against his, feeling his temperature.
Thus embraced, they enjoyed the solace brought by each other, not involving more intimacy, only dependence on each other.
After a moment, Liam sighed deeply and calmly said, "Maya, Iâve filed a lawsuit against Big Sister, the court session is next Wednesday."
Although Liam was calm when mentioning the lawsuit, Maya still detected a trace of helplessness in his words. After all, Jane Spencer was his biological sister; he couldnât act indifferently. He must have been anguished to make this decision, and surely had lost extreme hope in Sister Jane Spencer.
For a moment, Maya didnât know how to comfort Liam, so she just hugged him tighter, gently patting his back and cautiously said, "Brother, you still have me."
"Mm-hmm, I still have Maya." Liam kissed her little cheek, feeling a strange calmness, though there remained a trace of helplessness, his mood had improved compared to earlier.
Six days later, at S City Peopleâs Court, Liam, Maya, and others sat in the audience seats. Jane Spencer stood expressionless in the defendantâs area; her indifference seemed to suggest that law couldnât do anything with her since she hadnât left any evidence anyway.
After the judge opened the session, his gaze fell on Jane Spencer and asked, "Jane Spencer, regarding the Ethan Turner car accident case, the victimâs family filed a lawsuit against you, accusing you of allegedly hiring someone to commit murder. Do you have any explanation to offer?"
