CHAPTER 389: CHAPTER 387: COME BACK EARLY [2ND UPDATE]

At this moment, Maya Spencer didn’t have many thoughts in her mind; she only knew that seeing him was great, and the sense of loss in her heart instantly vanished.

She just wanted to hold him tightly, for a little longer, because soon he would leave, and she wouldn’t be able to hold him anymore.

In the living room, the two embraced affectionately, as if time had stood still in that moment.

"Maya, come with me, will you?" Liam Spencer picked Maya Spencer up from the ground, staring fixedly into her eyes, asking for her opinion.

Maya Spencer pouted, shook her head, and said, "You’re personally going on a business trip, so it must be something really important. If I go, I’d distract you. So I’ll just stay home and wait for you to come back."

"I won’t. I won’t be distracted."

"You’re already distracted. Elijah Reed must have been waiting for you for a long time! Hurry to the airport, besides we can also try out the feeling of ’absence makes the heart grow fonder’!" Maya was quite rational, as she jumped off him and pushed him towards the door.

Yesterday afternoon, Liam Spencer played hooky and spent the afternoon with her. If she really went with him on the trip, and wanted to wander somewhere, he would definitely not feel at ease with her being unfamiliar with the place; he might even put aside work to accompany her. She couldn’t really be a femme fatale.

"’Absence makes the heart grow fonder’? That’s a pretty good concept," Liam Spencer listened to someone’s twisted logic, and smiled brightly.

Maya Spencer looked at someone’s overflowing confidence, giggled, and said, "You’ll find out when you come back."

Then she pushed Liam Spencer again, saying, "Now, go quickly to earn money. I’m not easy to take care of, you know! If there’s not enough spending money, I might not want you."

Liam Spencer, hearing the girl’s sweet voice, suddenly turned around, held her, and kissed her lips.

After two or three minutes, Maya Spencer tugged at his collar and pushed him away, saying, "There’s plenty of time in the future, no rush now."

"Maya, I really want you." Liam Spencer felt reluctant at the thought of not seeing her for 7 days.

"Mm-hmm! When you return, we’ll battle for three days and nights, but work comes first now." Although Maya Spencer also wanted him to stay, she couldn’t impede his work! She thought she was being particularly great.

"I don’t want to leave." Liam Spencer, hugging Maya Spencer, acted coyly.

At this moment, Maya Spencer seemed like a mature parent, comforting Liam Spencer while pushing him into the elevator.

But as she waved her little hand to see the elevator close, she suddenly pressed the elevator button to open it again, rushed in quickly, and accurately kissed Liam Spencer’s lips, then released him and continued to wave as the elevator door closed.

This time, Liam Spencer held the door, stretched out his long arm, pulled her into the elevator, and kissed her passionately until the elevator door was about to close. Maya Spencer pushed him away, pressed the button, opened the door again, escaped, and waved a pitiful farewell.

At the moment when the elevator door closed again, Maya Spencer pouted and said pitifully, "Honey, earn the money quickly and come back sooner."

Inside the elevator, listening to someone’s words of caution, Liam Spencer burst into a smile, laughing all the way to the airport, which frustrated Elijah Reed, who thought, the difference between him and the boss was too stark!

Before the boss left, there was Fifth Lady’s tender reluctance and creating romantic memories with him; but he only had the painful expense from yesterday, thinking back on it still ached.

In the apartment, after Liam Spencer left, Maya Spencer sat alone on the sofa in the living room, holding a pillow, staring blankly.

With Liam Spencer not around, she suddenly felt the house lacked vitality, though she usually lived like this; but thinking of him not coming back at night made her feel empty.

This emptiness was completely different from her previous solitary battle’s loneliness. Before, she had no expectations in her heart, but now she did, and this feeling was quite tormenting, making the days difficult to endure.

Sitting on the sofa, she sighed helplessly to herself, "What am I going to do this week?"

For a moment, she even found the things she usually did to kill time had lost their appeal.

While she was fretting, her phone rang suddenly, and weakly, she picked it up, seeing it was Aron Hanson calling.

Since the last time she rejected Aron Hanson, the two hadn’t been in contact.

Maya Spencer thought, maybe her uncle saw last night’s trending gossip, which is why he called her to ask for a favor.

Nevertheless, she still answered the phone and asked calmly, "Uncle, what’s up?"

"Maya, do you and Liam have time to come for dinner tonight?" Aron Hanson’s voice was calm on the other end, seemingly having let go of Maya Spencer rejecting him.

"Liam is on a business trip. He just left and won’t be back until a week later."

"Oh! Then you should come back tonight! We’ll gather again when his business trip ends."

"Mm! Okay."

At this point, they should have hung up, and out of courtesy, Maya Spencer usually waited for Aron Hanson to hang up first, but this time he didn’t, leaving her puzzled.

So she cautiously asked, "Uncle, is there anything else?"

Aron Hanson paused for a moment upon hearing Maya’s question, and then awkwardly said, "Maya, I found an aunt for you."

"Really?! Who is it? Have I met her? What does she do? How old? What hobbies does she have?" Suddenly, Maya Spencer exploded with excitement, jumping from the sofa, firing off a series of questions.

Aron Hanson, who is 32 years old, ten years her senior, had never had a girlfriend before; during his time abroad, she even suspected his sexual orientation. Now hearing he has a girlfriend, Maya Spencer was more excited than Aron himself.

She suddenly felt her life was getting better and better, slowly understanding what happiness is.

This life, filled with anticipation, the possibility of surprises, is happiness.

On the other end, hearing Maya’s barrage of questions made Aron Hanson feel awkward, not knowing where to start answering.

So he said awkwardly, "Come back tonight, and you’ll find out."

"Mm-hmm! I’ll come back early." Maya Spencer was already eager to meet her aunt.

The sudden news also invigorated her, giving her something to do in her boring life.

To make her aunt feel she was approachable, she specially changed into jeans, a jacket, and sneakers, and went out alone to pick a gift for her.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, she arrived at Aron Hanson’s villa with the gift.

But Aron and her aunt hadn’t come back yet; she wasn’t in a hurry and directed the servants to decorate the house and prepare dinner.

At six o’clock in the evening, looking at the flowers, balloons, and the welcome banner she specifically made, Maya Spencer was satisfied.

"Miss, they’ve returned, they’ve returned!" At this moment, the servant rushed over to report to her hurriedly.
