CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 360: WHAT A COINCIDENCE [5 UPDATES]

At this moment, Liam Spencer reached out his left hand, grabbed Jane Spencer, and whispered in her ear, "Sis, if anyone outside this room finds out about this, you’ll regret it before you know it."

Jane Spencer listened to Liam Spencer’s threat, her face turned pale with anger, but at the same time, she found it amusing and felt very aggrieved.

She thought to herself, she helped him out, and not a word of thanks, instead he threw her this attitude. What a joke.

What made her more frustrated was that, even now, Liam Spencer was still trying to defend Maya Spencer. Was there something wrong with his brain? Have all the women in the world died? Why must he choose that little vixen?

At this moment, she finally understood why Elia Spencer hated Maya Spencer to the bone; it seemed that her hatred was indeed well-founded.

Then, she shrugged off Liam Spencer’s hand and sneered, "Liam Spencer, who would have thought you’d have your day, caught up with a woman. I’ll leave my words here for you: if you continue to keep Maya Spencer by your side, you’ll surely regret it, and Owen Clan will fall to her hands too. Just wait and see."

Jane Spencer wasn’t trying to scare Liam Spencer, but because she saw from his eyes his infinite tolerance towards Maya Spencer. But that woman didn’t even like him, instead, she wanted revenge, and that was the most terrifying thing.

If Liam Spencer always let her act recklessly, it would just be a matter of time before he ended up defeated by Maya Spencer, even the Owen Clan that he built with his own hands would be handed over to Maya Spencer.

Liam Spencer listened to Jane Spencer’s warnings and sneered twice, saying, "Sis, no need for you to worry about my issues, you should be thinking about how to get your hollow shell company in your hands!"

"I don’t need you to worry about me either." Jane Spencer said, and then stormed off.

Originally, she thought she could use this incident to improve her relationship with Liam Spencer, maybe he’d help her out, but instead, she miscalculated and ended up getting nothing but offending Liam Spencer.

Meanwhile, at the boarding gate, Maya Spencer listened to Lillian Morris’s attempt to persuade her to stay. Hearing him say he wanted to be selfish this once, she couldn’t help but choke up.

She looked at Lillian Morris, biting her lower lip, and joked with him, "Brother Morris, next time you have to come earlier! Let’s get to know each other sooner, let’s consider this time a miss."

While she talked to Lillian Morris, Maya Spencer kept smiling, but tears were swirling in her eyes.

Lillian Morris’s plea, it’s not false to say it moved her; after all, the man before her had been the one she had secretly loved for over three years.

In her most despairing moments, he was the one who gave her hope, gave her a sense of security. Unfortunately, though they were destined to meet, they were not meant to be; she met Liam Spencer first, while he met Jane Spencer first.

For the brush past each other, besides feeling regret, she could not muster more affection, even though she wanted to, she had to hold back.

After saying those words with a smile, Maya Spencer turned around again and walked step by heavy step towards Liam Spencer.

She knew that with this turn, she might not see Lillian Morris for the rest of her life. But she had no choice; she must walk towards Liam Spencer, for her own sake, and for Lillian Morris’s too.

If there was a next life, when she saw Liam Spencer, she’d stay far away; she’d find Lillian Morris first and then leave with him.

Lillian Morris looked at the girl’s tear-filled smile, at her back as she walked towards Liam Spencer, and his mind went blank.

He’s never felt such despair before nor had that impulsive desire to keep someone. But watching Maya Spencer’s figure, thinking of her smile, he couldn’t bear to let her go, especially when realizing this farewell might be forever, he even more didn’t want her to leave.

He finally gathered the courage to pursue the life he wanted, how could he give up so easily? This wasn’t his way of handling things.

So, he shouted towards Maya Spencer’s back, "Maya Spencer, three years ago, I let you go and I’ve regretted it deeply, I don’t want to regret it again this time."

"I like you, I liked you three years ago."

"At that time, I even mocked you for being so naive and childish, now looking back, I realize that I was the childish one, like a joke."

"When I took you away from the overpass, I already had a special attention towards you. Every time I went to the Spencer Family, I always inadvertently or intentionally looked for you. I always thought maybe it was because of your special status that I paid extra attention to you; it wasn’t until you disappeared from my apartment that I realized I wanted to protect you. I thought I just sympathized with you, which is why I kept making mistakes and married Jane Spencer, but when you reappeared, my calm heart stirred an overwhelming surge, only then did I understand it wasn’t sympathy, but affection. Yet when I had clarity about my feelings, I already had a family; you also had your own life, which is why I buried these feelings from that moment."

"When you showed up in my office, when I learned you liked me, Maya Spencer, do you know how happy I was? I never imagined, how coincidentally, you also liked me, so I kept smiling that day. It was also from that moment on, I pondered the issue of divorcing Jane Spencer: even if she didn’t stir a fuss, didn’t come up with those bizarre reasons, I’d divorce her; that’s why I urged you not to do anything silly."

"Maya Spencer, I like you, very much, in the future, can I protect you?"

Lillian Morris’s confession left everyone in shock, nobody expected that at this moment he would still make a futile struggle, still wanting to win Maya Spencer back.

However, at this moment, Maya Spencer had already burst into tears, thinking it quite a coincidence that he liked her too, not just out of sympathy.

When aboard the plane, she thought Lillian Morris acted out of guilt, which led him to take her away, but she didn’t expect he genuinely liked her.

Being confessed to by someone you like should be a joyous thing, yet Maya Spencer felt so unbearable, unbearably painful as if she were dying; she would rather not know Lillian Morris’s feelings, at least it wouldn’t leave her with such regrets.

His confession shook her barely steady heart, flashing images of him cooking for her in the kitchen and giving her hope deep at sea.

Although their memories together are so few, every time she thinks of Lillian Morris, she smiles, because he is always so gentle.

At this moment, her feet felt as if filled with lead; a moment ago, she could still move, but now she couldn’t budge an inch.

She wanted so much to turn around, wanted so much to hug him, wanted so much for him to protect her, wanted so much to run away with him.

But as she looked up at Liam Spencer not far away, at his sharp eyes, at the complex emotion within, she became scared.

The burden of her emotions was too heavy, and she knew perfectly well what would await her if she turned towards Lillian Morris.

"Maya Spencer, even if the road ahead is tough, let’s face it together, alright?" Lillian Morris heard the girl’s sobbing and guessed that she was moved, so he again tried to shake her resolve, leaving her beside him.

Even if Liam Spencer would raze the Morris Clan Group to the ground, even if the Morris Family would therefore decline, he still wanted Maya Spencer, still wanted to take her away.
