CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 344 I CAN DO IT [4 UPDATES]

"Don’t even think about it."

"I can sleep in the guest room, no need to share a bed with you, don’t be so dismissive." Elia Spencer explained.

"I’ll help you bathe," someone said, picking her up in a bridal carry and heading to the master bathroom.

Hearing he was going to help her bathe, Maya Spencer panicked, clutching his collar to explain, "No need, I can do it myself, I’m fine."

"I don’t mind the trouble."

"..." Maya was on the verge of tears, thinking, why did she mention bathing? Just play first! Play until you’re tired and fall asleep, he couldn’t do anything to her anyway. Why was she stupid enough to voluntarily bring up this topic? Maya felt she might just die of her own stupidity.

In the bathroom, Liam Spencer placed her in the bathtub, even pulling out a rope to suspend her injured right leg in mid-air to keep it from getting wet.

Though he meant well to prevent the wound from worsening, Maya found the way he tied the knot and positioned her to be rather suggestive, looking at Liam’s extremely serious face, she didn’t dare speak up for fear he would laugh at her.

But when Liam started helping her bathe, she was going nuts; she was sure this rascal was 100% deliberately teasing her, but with her injuries, she had no strength to fight back, left with no choice but to let him tease and manipulate her.

Until her cries pierced through the bathroom, Liam finally stopped with a mischievous smile, fished her out of the tub, carried her back to the bedroom, and put on her robe.

On the large bed, Maya reclined, watching TV.

A moment later, when Liam came out after his shower, she quickly patted the spot next to her, smiling, "Come sit over here."

The man followed her command, didn’t refuse, walked slowly to the big bed, sat beside her, pinched her chin, and asked, "What? A hurt leg but still can’t stay honest? Not comfortable enough just now?"

Hearing the man’s suggestive words, Maya lifted her small hand and slapped his forehead as a lesson, "Can’t you think of something clean?"

Then, she took out the medicine the doctor left from beside the pillow, and gently ordered, "Sit properly."

Only then did Liam realize, she kept the doctor’s medicine intending to treat his wound.

At this moment, a surge of happiness flooded through him.

He returned to the earlier question, looked into Maya’s eyes, and asked, "Do you care about me?"

This time, Maya wasn’t scared off by him, but raised her small hand, positioned his face properly, and said seriously, "Behave, stop fooling around."

Maya’s words, "Behave, stop fooling around," melted Liam in an instant; he immediately stopped making trouble, letting her handle his wound.

Watching her careful demeanor, warmth filled his heart so much that he thought Maya liked him.

Maya didn’t expect that by merely pretending to be deep, she could hold him steady. She felt like she was understanding more and more how to deal with Liam.

When she finished treating Liam’s wound, Liam suddenly cupped her small face, about to kiss her.

This time, Maya didn’t comply, raised her small hand, covering his mouth to explain, "There’s ointment on your lips, it’s very bitter."

Hearing Maya’s reminder, Liam realized he couldn’t kiss her now, so he disappointedly removed Maya’s small hand, tidied up the medicine.

Seeing the man’s disappointed look, Maya suddenly wanted to laugh; she found Liam was quite easy to appease, at least easier than a few days ago.

Actually, it wasn’t that Liam was easy to appease, but because his heart ached for her, he didn’t want to hurt her anymore, so he was good to her in every way, letting her have her way.

Maya’s performance today, however, was commendable, and it moved Liam a little.

After finishing the medicine cleanup, Maya suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck and planted a kiss on his cheek, saying, "Here didn’t get ointment."

"You’re tempting me." For Liam, this was an irresistible temptation...

Seeing the man’s enchanting gaze, Maya then pecked his lips softly, saying, "It’s a reward for you."

The next second, she was pinned onto the bed by Liam, trapped in his embrace.

Seeing the man’s domineering ways, Maya immediately raised her small hand, pressing against his chest, and shook her head, very seriously saying, "You can’t."

"How will you know if you don’t try?" the man said, as he leaned in to nibble her ear, whispering secretively.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Knock knock knock!"

This time, before Maya could refuse, there was a series of knocks at the door sounding from outside, and it wasn’t just one person.

Hearing the knocking, Maya held back her laughter, poking someone’s chest, reminding, "Go open the door."

Yet Liam didn’t pay her any mind, continuing to kiss her, but the knocking outside grew louder, no need to think twice to know it was Christopher, Hudson, and the gang. They had made a fuss about wanting to come hang with Maya during dinner.

He took a deep breath, looking at Maya beneath him, who was all smiles, expecting him to open the door.

Thinking about her injured leg, Liam dismissed the mischievous thoughts in his head and got up to open the door.

"Third Brother, did you get into a fight?" The moment the door opened, Christopher was shocked. Liam was actually bruised, which was really unbelievable.

"Third Brother, you got into a fight without calling me, that’s no fun." Hudson was entirely regretful, thinking how could he miss out on such a fun event?

"Say what you have to and leave if you don’t," Liam said impatiently, looking at these annoying people in front of him.

"We came for Third Sister-in-law to play games, won so much in the morning, how can we let her leave so easily?" Hudson said, slipping right into the room.

Afterward, Christopher, Lucas, and others swaggered inside, and even Henry and Noah, who were headed back to their rooms, joined the fun.

Not far away, Elia Spencer watched the large group enter Maya’s lavish suite with longing, blinking her eyes and staring at them for a long time, not daring to go over.

At the door, Liam saw her eager eyes, frowned, and said, "If you’re not coming in, I’m closing the door."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Elia was ecstatic to receive Liam’s invitation, almost jumping with joy.

In this circle, even though she wasn’t favored in the Spencer Family and didn’t get the grandfather’s affection, as long as Third Brother spoke a few more words to her, her life’s opportunities would be entirely different.

Especially since Henry was in their room, she was even more eager to go in.

In the bedroom, Maya listened to the commotion outside, donned a cape, got off the bed, and hopped to the living room.

"Sweetheart, what happened to you? Won too much money, and karma caught up?" Christopher said, watching Maya hopping out with one foot, eyes wide open, thinking, was today some kind of a festival, what happened between the two of them? One with bruises, one injured, could it be they fought?

But looking at the relatively gentle gaze from Liam, it didn’t seem like they had a dispute.

"I accidentally twisted it," Maya explained with a smile.

"What’s with Third Brother’s face then? Wasn’t it you who hit him, right?" Hudson sincerely felt sorry for Liam’s bruised face, originally planning to look at it more in the evening, but it was hard to look at now.
