CHAPTER 208: CHAPTER 206 THINKING TOO BEAUTIFULLY [1ST UPDATE]

Liam looked at someone, their face full of tension, pinched her cheek, and said, "We’re ’comrades,’ how could I trick your Hanson Family!"

Maya listened to the man’s words and said disapprovingly, "Smart move, using the engagement as a cover."

"Marriage involves property issues, I wouldn’t speak lightly about it."

"Stingy, you want so much money, can you even spend it all?"

"What, you really want to marry me?"

"Haha! Haha! Dream on." Maya deliberately let out two cold laughs to show her disdain for the marriage.

Liam felt better seeing the girl no longer turning her back to him.

What amused him even more was that Maya hadn’t noticed he was gradually setting a trap for her.

Seeing her dazed, only concerned about the Hanson Family’s reputation, he pinched her chin, drew her closer to him, and kissed her lips unceremoniously.

He himself didn’t understand why he couldn’t let go of her, why he desired her so much.

Undeniably, Maya indeed tasted wonderful, soft and sweet, delicious.

So, when he said, "Maya, you taste so good!"

"You rogue!" Maya pouted and angrily scolded him.

Maya was utterly speechless,

Maya never expected a man could be so unsatisfied.

"Hmm! I’m rational!" Liam listened to the girl’s criticism, pressed his lips together, nodding in compromise.

Half an hour later, Liam’s phone rang. Annoyed, he hung up.

But when it rang a few more times later, he had no choice but to pick it up.

As soon as the call connected, Christopher said tearfully, "Third Brother, it’s been half an hour, you’re already late by half an hour, everyone is waiting for you, why are you so slow with things?"

Obviously, Christopher’s words had a deeper meaning. Hahaha...

"Wait! I’m busy!" Liam hung up the phone right after.

On the other end, Christopher shook his head helplessly holding the phone, lamenting, "Beauty is a curse..."

Maya grabbed his arms with both hands, tremblingly reminding him, "It’s time to get out of the car."

"Hmm! Let’s continue tonight!" The man kissed her ear while helping to tidy her clothes.

They didn’t get out of the car until he finished tying her hair.

In the resort’s meeting hall, Liam led Maya through the door, where everyone had already gathered.

Aside from some relevant staff, the six young elites of City S were there, including Henry.

"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, the big day is near, congratulations!" Christopher spoke the fastest, changing his words immediately after seeing the trending news.

"Third Young Master, congratulations! Congratulations!" A wave of well-wishes followed immediately.

At this moment, Maya was full of embarrassment, thinking, is this going to turn into reality? No! No! I have to find a chance to clear things up.

However, among the whole room of people, only Henry kept his head down, not looking at the two, nor did he offer any congratulations.

In fact, when parking earlier, he had already seen Liam’s car.

No need to think too much; he knew what happened inside.

He had been hoping the girl inside wasn’t Maya.

But at this moment, he couldn’t deceive himself; he could feel his heart pierced by countless swords, hurting to the point of numbness.

When Maya awkwardly responded to everyone’s congratulations, she unintentionally glanced at the unhappy Henry, took a deep breath, and immediately looked away, pretending not to see him.

After the meeting, they began the acceptance work.

Throughout the process, Liam held Maya’s small hand tightly, never letting go, while Henry behind her never took his gaze off her.

Watching Liam be good to Maya, watching Maya’s rosy face.

He knew she was doing well!

He clearly knew he should walk out of her dream yet couldn’t control himself, couldn’t make himself rational.

At noon, everyone had lunch at the resort hotel.

In the VIP luxury suite, the dining table was large enough to seat 30 people, precisely the number attending today’s meeting.

In the suite’s living room, Liam helped Maya take off her hat and glasses while caressing her cheek, asking, "Hot?"

"Not really!" This time, Maya seemed to have adapted to Liam’s kindness towards her, even forgetting she still hated this man.

"Your hair’s all over." Liam said as he pulled her hair tie down, using his large hand to gather her hair and casually tied it into a high ponytail, preventing the hair from sticking to her back from the heat.
