Chapter 1446


    There was a glint in Liam''s eyes. His pupils locked, and his heart inexplicably suffocating.


    The girl in his arms was heart- wrenchingly sensible.


    There was a faint fragrance on her. It was very refreshing, just as how easily it made him impulsive


    the day before.


    "I feel the same too."


    "What?" Maria didn''t understand what he was trying to say and wanted to verify it, only to find his


    eyes were shining brightly.


    As she had just cried, her eyes were still a little red, and the tears made them even clearer. Coupled


    with her thick longshes looking at him cluelessly, she looked looking both innocent and adorable.


    "Don''t look at me like that." He whispered in a hoarse voice.


    Because he couldn''t handle it.


    He finally understood why he was so irritated after not receiving a single call from her after waiting


    for an entire day.


    Maria was still at a loss as she couldn''t keep up with his pace.


    She felt as if she was in a dream.


    Then, she realized Liam slowly reached his hand out to cover her eyes.


    The next second, Maria felt something soft pressing onto her lips.


    He leaned in and kissed her on the lips.


    She felt an electric current traveling through her body. Her mind went nk, and she felt weak.


    She felt really dizzy. It felt absolutely wonderful.


    His kiss was very gentle. The beauty was far beyond words could describe.


    Maria even felt that if she died right at that moment, she would have no more regrets in her life.


    She had no strength at all, to the point that she had to grab onto his clothes to prevent herself from


    falling.


    He kissed her for quite some time before carrying her to his bedroom in his arms.


    Maria was frightened by his actions. Was he going to do it?


    Her eyes fluttered as she looked at him. She was also very embarrassed as her face was


    completely flushed.


    Worried about the awkwardness, she blurted, "You haven''t eaten yet. You can do it after your meal."


    Stunned, he chuckled.


    Maria''s cheeks turnedpletely red as she took the pillow and hid her face beneath it.


    He had changed the sheets. This time it was a bluish grey.


    Liam covered her with the quilt, took the pillow away, then whispered, "It''s already two; you should


    sleep. I''ll eat a little and go out for a bit."


    "Where are you going?" She immediately grabbed his clothes and asked anxiously. "I want to be


    with you. I don''t want to sleep. I can''t sleep."


    In fact, their eyes were bloodshot.


    Liam could tell Maria didn''t sleep well the night before.


    All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    And so did he.


    They were probably bothered by what happened the day before.


    "I need to buy something," he whispered. "I don''t have confidence in myself. I''m afraid I might not


    be able to control myself, so I have to make sure I''m prepared."


    Maria was confused. "What on earth are you buying?"


    Stumped, he looked at her. This girl sure was adorably innocent.


    "I''m afraid I might get you pregnant." He said, "I''m going to buy some supplies."


    Maria was dumbstruck instantly; she covered her face with the pillow again. Her muffled voice came


    from under the pillow, "I''ll go with you. I don''t want people to see you buy that thing."


    Stunned, his heart tightened; it ached painfully.


    Although this girl was shy, she still thought about what was best for him. Even though his career had


    hit rock bottom, she still didn''t want him to be photographed because of that.


    She cared about everything that had to do with him.


    But what were his true feelings for her?


    Lost, Liam thought if he was too shameless, as he wanted more from her just because they did it


    once.


    Maria hurriedly moved the pillow away and looked at Liam, as she didn''t get a response from him.


    The expression on his face wasplicated and she had no idea what was going on in his mind.


    Maria sat up, lowered her head, and whispered stubbornly, "Either way, you cannot buy that."


    Liamughed and ruffled her hair. "Okay, we''ll go together. You''ll buy."


    Just like that, they went out again.


    They left the apartment at two in the middle of the night.


    In the elevator, Liam stood straight beside her. His tall, upright figure gave Maria a sense of


    unreality.


    Neither of them spoke.


    Liam drove her to a 24-hour convenience store.


    Maria got out of the car, and Liam waited for her in it.


    He couldn''t helpughing seeing her walking into the store thievingly, looking guilty.


    As soon as she entered the store, Maria found the shelf and got a few boxes. She just took


    whatever was avable without taking a closer look at the details.


    The cashier spoke to her, "Miss, what are you buying so much for?"


    "Our hotel has run out of stock, and we''re in urgent need of it at night." Maria was quick-witted


    enough toe up with a reason casually. "How many do you have here? Can you get me a whole


    carton of it with the packaging unremoved?"


    The cashierughed when she heard her words. "That''s not a big deal. It''s just that you have to get


    various sizes if you are stocking up. However, hotels usually don''t use the condoms we sell here.


    They usually get them directly from the producers."


    "Well, it is an emergency." Maria quickly made up a reason. "Why are there different sizes?"


    "Some men have small ones and some are big." The cashier replied in a meaningful tone, "They all


    look different, and so they naturally would use different ones."


    Maria was dumbfounded in an instant.


    Liam... He would need a bigger one, wouldn''t he?


    She said directly, "I''ll get the big ones, the biggest size. One carton, please."


    The cashier smiled and said, "Okay, one whole carton canst you for two years. I''ll go get it for


    you."


    After a while, the cashier really brought arge carton over.


    Maria paid the bill and returned to the car carrying arge carton.


    Even Liam was shocked when he saw the scene.


    Maria exined, "They have a shelf life of several years. You don''t have to buy them next time."


    After that, she lowered her head and dared not look at Liam. In her heart, she thought she would


    have to fly to Ennd soon, and he would meet other girls, so he would need to buy them the next


    time. She truly didn''t want him toe out and buy these things in case other people found out.


    Of course, she also had a mischievous intention, and that was to make him remember her, always.


    No matter who he was with, as long as they had an intimate rtionship, he would have to use it.


    Perhaps by then, he would recall what she had done.


    But Maria felt as if her heart had been stabbed at the thought of him doing what they did with


    another girl.


    She was not happy about it, not the slightest bit.


    Liam drove back to his ce.


    When they went upstairs, he held the carton, and Maria was next to him. As soon as they got to his


    ce, Liam asked her to take a rest.


    He opened therge carton and read the instructions.


    Seeing that he was so serious about it, Maria reheated the food for him in the microwave and said,


    "You should eat first."


    After Liam washed his hands and sat back down, he was still reading the instructions.


    Maria was surprised by his serious attitude. "Don''t tell me you''ve never used it before. Why are you


    reading it so seriously?" "I''ve never used it before," he said.


    Maria was instantly dumbstruck, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.


    "I''ll go take a shower." She quickly turned around, not wanting him to see the excitement and


    shyness in her.


    Liam looked at her as she walked away and sighed.


    Maria did not bring any extra clothes. After taking a shower, she wore Liam''s T-shirt. It was loose


    and big, and it seemed more like a dress on her.


    When Liam was eating the food Maria had reheated for him, he was surprised to find that he had a


    good appetite, and he ate quite a lot.


    It wasn''t until he had almost finished the food did he realize he had forgotten to ask whether Maria


    was hungry.


    He warmed a ss of milk for her and brought it into the room.


    Maria was standing in the bathroom and looking in the mirror. Her hair was dried and let loose,


    looking soft and beautiful, while her pair of legs caught his eyes.


    He felt as if a corner in his heart seemed to have copsed in an instant, opening up for her.


    "Have some milk." There was a hint of restraint in his voice.


    "No, thank you." She was afraid of gaining weight.


    Liam walked over. "At least drink half of it."


    "But I''ll put on weight if I eat at night," she mumbled.


    "You won''t." He replied solemnly, "You''ll need it to keep up with me."


    Her face flushed in an instant.


    Knowing she was shy, Liam handed her the milk and said, "I''ll go take a shower. Be a good girl and


    finish it."


    "Okay." Maria could only take it from him. The milk was warm. She then took a sip of the milk. It was


    fragrant and rich.


    She could hear the sound of water running from inside of the bathroom.


    Maria finished the entire ss. Embarrassed to stay inside the room, she went out to put the cup on


    the table outside.


    When she saw the morning-after pills in the trash can, she still fished it out and took one pill after


    some hesitation.


    She felt it wouldn''t be fair if she got him just because she was bearing his child.


    She wanted him to date her willingly, not for any other reason.


    She already knew Liam was a responsible man, and she didn''t want to use a child to tie him down.


    Therefore, she secretly ate the pill ???j ??? the rest in her bag.
