CHAPTER 344: CHAPTER 342 I AM INJURED [2ND UPDATE]

Under Liam’s guidance, Maya didn’t refuse; instead, she followed his lead, wrapped her arms around his waist, closed her eyes, and quietly enjoyed his kiss.

For a moment, Maya was spellbound, lost in Liam’s tenderness.

"That person looks like the third young master!!"

"Really, how sizzling, turns out the third young master is so passionate."

It wasn’t until the passing guests began to point and comment that Maya pushed Liam away, her eyes darting around in embarrassment.

She then swiftly turned around and hopped on one foot toward the waiting area.

Seeing her blushing face, Liam couldn’t help but chuckle, then immediately chased her down, knelt before her on one knee, and patted his shoulder, signaling for her to get on his back.

Maya looked at the man’s broad shoulders, recalled his kiss just moments ago, and secretly let out a long breath, thinking, he shouldn’t be angry anymore, right! Seems her beauty trick was quite a success.

Maya thought she was merely playing tricks to please Liam, little did she know that when he was happy, she was happy too.

"Hmm?" Liam glanced back at Maya who hadn’t responded for some time, and asked.

Maya looked at Liam’s calm gaze, watched him squat down again to offer his back, and couldn’t help but purse her lips in a silent laugh. To cover her smile, she deliberately turned her head toward the right, gazing at the beach, but Liam caught her anyway.

Seeing the smile on her lips, the man involuntarily smiled too, and he asked, "Maya, are you sure you want to go upstairs by yourself?"

Then Maya jumped forward two steps, flopped onto his back, and hugged his neck tightly.

For some reason, lying on Liam’s back, she felt so at ease, as if there was nothing to worry about.

Her subconscious whispered to her: as long as Liam was around, no matter when or where, she felt safe.

Inside the elevator, Liam still carried her on his back; the atmosphere was wonderful at that moment, he even hoped time would stop, letting Maya rely on him forever.

Suddenly, he said, "Hold tight." Maya was already holding on tightly.

Yet upon hearing his reminder, Maya’s lips curled slightly, couldn’t help but hide behind his back to giggle, and after she’d laughed, she pretended to climb up earnestly, hugging his neck tighter, her little face pressed close to his.

Seeing her well-behaved, Liam’s mood shot through the roof; looking at the shadows reflected in the reinforced glass wall, he suddenly turned around and pecked her tender face twice, saying, "So exhausting."

"I can’t walk, I’m injured." Hearing him talk of exhaustion, Maya immediately pulled her face away from his, said earnestly.

Liam looked at the girl’s response, didn’t take her words nor let her down, just pouted slightly, signaling for her to give him a kiss.

"Pfft!" Instantly, Maya burst out in laughter, she didn’t expect Liam to actually ask her for a kiss.

This style was totally unlike him; wasn’t he best known for the tough guy act?? How could he be selling cute now??

Liam was very handsome, usually cool and stylish, occasionally acts a bit cute and it didn’t disrupt his aura, thus amusing Maya.

Maya stared at Liam for a moment, then leaned in to his lips, giving him a quick peck like a dragonfly skimming the water.

"Maya, carrying you for so long, is this what I get?" Liam wasn’t satisfied, turned his head repeatedly looking at her.

Liam acted helplessly; Maya didn’t feel annoyed at all, instead quite liked this interaction model, so she wrapped her arms around his face and initiated a deep kiss.

This kiss, with high skill content, filled Liam with energy, couldn’t wait to return to the room and pamper her properly.

"Recharged?" Maya, almost out of breath from the kiss, released Liam and asked earnestly.

"Overflowing, needs releasing." Liam started teasing Maya again.

"Liam, a person still needs some pride, besides, my foot is injured." Maya tightly hugged Liam’s neck to remind.

"Then I’ll hold it for now! The doctor will arrive soon, you hold on too." Liam turned his head, gave Maya’s little face a kiss to comfort.

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator doors opened.

In the corridor, just as Liam carried Maya out of the waiting area, they ran into Lillian walking toward them.

Suddenly, Maya’s heart jumped to her throat; Liam was mad just recently about her meeting Lillian, he’d finally been coaxed back to good mood, and now they were face to face, wasn’t this bad luck?

Thus the joyful little face immediately turned solemn, she lay motionless on Liam’s back, looking straight ahead as Lillian approached.

Lillian glanced at the girl on Liam’s back, noticed the hint of panic on her face, then looked at her reddened eyes and instantly got furious. How long had it been since he and Maya separated, Liam actually made her cry.

Actually, Maya’s eyes were red from the pain, crying due to her twisted foot.

Liam glanced at Lillian approaching, remembered Maya and him on the beach, couldn’t help but a cold smile tugged at his lips.

Even though he harbored anger against Lillian, he didn’t ignore Maya, for him, her foot injury was more crucial than his anger.

But Lillian didn’t understand the situation, he only saw Maya’s frightened appearance, saw her tears.

Previously, he had a rather good opinion of Liam, even advised Maya to be with him three years ago; however now, the more he looked, the less he liked Liam, growing increasingly displeased.

As he reached both of them, he swiftly extended his right hand, grabbed Maya’s wrist, pulled her off Liam’s back, hiding her behind him.

"Ah..." As Maya was dragged off Liam by Lillian, her right foot accidentally hit the ground, causing her to yelp in pain.

As she realized Lillian was exploding, preparing to explain to him, she saw Liam raise his arm and punch Lillian in the face.

In response to Liam’s attack, Lillian didn’t retreat, stumbled back two steps before counterattacking.

Instantly, Maya was bewildered, thinking, things were clearly developing positively, how did it suddenly explode.

She watched the two men wrestle into a mess and became nearly annoyed to death.

If it were before, Maya would have turned and left already, but now that it was Lillian and Liam fighting, she must stop them quickly, otherwise something major might happen.

Yet she had never tried to stop a fight, leaving her at a loss.

She recalled the reactions of female leads in TV dramas but found herself unable to call out, to cry, even to shout for them to stop brawling, fast hold back; she wasn’t on a little innocent route, she couldn’t speak those little innocent lines.

But seeing them ruthlessly attack each other, she was anxious inside! Wondered, till when would they fight before ceasing.

Momentarily, Maya saw blood oozing from both men’s mouths, their eye corners bruised.

Seeing their fighting grow relentlessly intense, Maya wanted to step in and separate them, but she knew that her intervention would only lead to more chaos.

Just then, she fixed her gaze on Liam, who had the upper hand, and shouted, "Brother Liam, my foot hurts!"
