CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 385: UNABLE TO SPEAK [5 MORE UPDATES]

Maya’s nerves, Liam understood, but he enjoyed this kind of thrilling feeling, it made him very excited.

So, he suddenly pushed her away, saying, "Wait for me."

Then he left Maya there alone, and she watched the man leave so suddenly, feeling puzzled, though her heart itched with impatience, she still held her popcorn and continued to watch her idol.

A while later, Liam returned, took her small hand, and led her to another pitch-dark cinema hall. The movie was still the same, only the hall was empty, and the strange atmosphere made Maya feel terrified.

Standing at the doorway, she held Liam’s hand and pitifully said, "It’s too scary, let’s watch in a place with more people!"

"Didn’t you say you were afraid of crowded places?"

"You have bad intentions, I don’t want to watch a movie with you, I want to go back." Maya heard Liam mention fear, quickly withdrew her tiny hand from his big hand, and slapped his chest rejecting him.

Seeing her wanting to leave, Liam immediately grabbed her wrist and lightly pushed her against the side wall. He held the wall with his left hand and cradled her little face with his right hand, saying, "Maya, I’ll be on a business trip tomorrow for a week. Are you sure you don’t want to leave any good memories before I go?"

At this moment, Liam’s actions were identical to those onscreen in the movie earlier, only the lines were different.

Maya gazed at the man so close, looked at his handsome face, and couldn’t deny that he was the undisputed national male heartthrob, even more handsome and attractive than the male idol onscreen.

She took a deep breath and looked at him sweetly, asking, "Leaving tomorrow? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

"I was afraid you’d be reluctant, so I didn’t tell you beforehand."

After speaking, Liam leaned down and kissed her lips.

Originally, Maya rejected the idea of leaving memories in such a strange place. But thinking that he’d be away on a business trip tomorrow, and a week not being by her side, her small hands instinctively hooked around his neck, responding to his kiss, allowing him to create beautiful memories in the vast, empty cinema hall. [Imagine it yourself, 10,000 words.]

Two hours later, after the movie ended, Liam reluctantly helped Maya arrange her clothes, and gently asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I really want to eat hot pot, I’ve already booked a place for lunch." Maya was already feeling hungry.

"Little glutton." Maya being so adorable was something Liam couldn’t resist.

These days, their relationship was improving to the point where he forgot they had any disagreements before.

After leaving the cinema, Liam drove Maya to the restaurant she had chosen.

In the car, Maya thought about the dream-like intimacy earlier, patting her small face, pouting, and complaining, "Third Brother, you’ve completely led me astray, I’m beyond saving."

Recalling their entanglement in the cinema hall and thinking about how her voice echoed throughout, Maya felt her face flush red, feeling as though she had fallen into Liam’s trap.

Beside her, Liam watched her bashful expression, pinched her little face gently, and gently questioned, "Will you keep idolizing others in the future?"

Listening to the man’s jealous question, Maya quickly turned around, waving her small hands, saying, "Won’t idolize! Won’t idolize! In the future, aside from Third Brother, I won’t idolize anyone else. I’m completely conquered by Third Brother."

Then she added, "Conquered in bed, haha..." Maya couldn’t help but laugh out loud after her flattery.

Though she knew she was being shameless, she was just in a good mood, and loved teasing Liam.

Liam looked at the girl’s mischievous demeanor, reached out, pinched her chin, and asked close to her lips, "Maya, when will you be willing to call me husband?"

After watching the movie today, Liam suddenly fell in love with this title, eagerly wanting to hear someone call him that way.

Maya stared at the man’s serious expression, holding back laughter, saying, "I can’t say it."

"I’ll sort you out when we get back, I don’t believe you truly can’t say it." If Maya doesn’t call him husband today, Liam won’t feel at ease during his business trip, fearing she’d call TV actors husband instead when he’s away.

Listening to the man’s threatening warning, Maya took a deep breath and earnestly called, "Husband..."

"Haha..." Her words had barely landed when she burst into laughter, quickly pushing Liam away, patting her face, and sighing, "So awkward, so awkward, too awkward!"

Hearing someone’s call of husband, Liam felt overjoyed, his suspended heart finally at ease.

Seeing her pat her face, calling awkward, the smile on his lips was especially radiant. He rubbed Maya’s head, asking, "Silly or not?"

Maya turned around, watched the man doting on her, her tiny hands fanning the air beside her face to explain, "Watching this silly movie made me silly too."

Liam hugged her neck nonetheless and kissed her cheek, saying, "Being silly is better."

"Then what if you bully me?"

"No!" His answer was very certain.

Maya was in an especially good mood today, gradually accustomed to being with Liam, accustomed to his gentleness. Unknowingly, she relaxed more and more in front of Liam, showing her cuteness that she’d hidden for years completely.

She loved Liam’s smiles at her, loved the way he gazed at her dotingly, loved his gentleness; it made her stop being concerned and feel more comfortable being by his side.

She preferred seeing him play along with her. This version of Liam made her feel like she was truly in love, rather than staying by his side out of necessity.

She didn’t even realize she was now enjoying being by Liam’s side.

...

After finishing the hot pot dinner, Maya came out supporting herself against the wall, and Liam was utterly speechless. He watched the stuffed Maya, shook his head, and helplessly asked, "Maya, what if you’re too full?"

But she nonchalantly replied, "If I eat myself to death, then you’ll have no one to cheer you up anymore."

"..." Liam was rendered speechless.

Then, he took her hand and said, "I’ll have the driver bring the car, we can walk back from the riverside to aid digestion."

"Walking back? That’s too far, it would be exhausting!"

"Not far, it’s just about seven to eight kilometers along the river to the apartment." In fact, he enjoyed the feeling of taking a walk with her by the sea breeze, he loved this smell, the smell of romance.

He thought maybe the movie had influenced him today, so he wanted to leave more memories with her, hoping that wherever Maya went in the future, she’d think of him.

Seeing him serious, Maya didn’t argue against him. Anyway, since she couldn’t walk, she just let him carry her, and agreed.

Along the riverside walk, Liam held Maya’s small hand tightly, feeling the coolness of the river breeze, making his mood particularly cheerful.

"12, 13, 14, 15, 16..." Yet, Maya’s mouth kept counting.

"Maya, what are you counting?"

Note: In such a good atmosphere, should Third Brother confess?
