The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1179
Ixia seemed lost in thought as she stared at Liam. She quickly came back to her senses and said in a friendly manner, “Liam.”
However, Liam was resolute, cutting her off coldly, “No need to be so friendly, we’re not that close.”
Spoiled since childhood, Ixia had always gotten what she wanted. Even Yvonne, who was arrogant and domineering, avoided bossing Ixia around. Now, despite the Young family doing well, they still relied on the support of the Xander family.
Ixia thought, ‘Who does he think he is?’
She pouted with a displeased expression and turned to Lylia. “Mom, did you hear him?”
Lylia patted Ixia’s hand. “Well, you said things that angered him. Later, put more food on his plate, so that he’ll forgive you. You’re still young, he won’t blame you.”
Blake was extremely annoyed by them. ‘ They’re all just putting on an act.’
Julian looked at Blake. “Is this the girlfriend you mentioned?”
Liam replied, “Yes, but it’s none of your business.’
Blake did not expect Liam to have this attitude toward his own father. She was lost in her thoughts, ‘But then again, when Liam was sick, his father just abandoned him. What right does he have to ask Liam about his affairs?
‘And he’s only now asking Liam to join them for dinner. He’s so insincere.’
Under the table, Liam held onto Blake’s hand the whole time. She could feel his hands trembling slightly. She knew he must be feeling uncomfortable.
Liam and Julian were not friendly to each other as soon as they met.
Julian furiously slammed his hand on the table. “You didn’t have this attitude when you were begging me back then. Is this how you talk to your own father now?”
Liam did not respond.
Lylia forced a laugh and immediately eased the tension, saying, “All right, you two finally got to see each other, don’t be angry. I’ll have the waiter bring in the dishes.”
When all the dishes were served, Lylia noticed Ixia had secretly glanced at Liam several times. She realized something and said with a smile, “Silly girl, what are you staring at? Why not take some food and put it on Liam’s plate?”
Liam, peeling shrimp, declined without looking up, “No need.” After peeling it, he put it on Blake’s plate. “Eat it, I’ve washed my hands.”
Blake replied, “How did you know I like shrimp? Nice job, here’s a thumbs up.” She then raised her thumb.
Liam finally smiled. “Okay.”
Ixia said, “Liam, try this too. I love the food from this place the most.”
In the blink of an eye, Liam’s expression changed as he looked at the barbecue ribs on his plate. He did not look displeased, but his eyes were filled with coldness.
Blake said, “Ixia, sorry, but Liam doesn’t like this dish.”
Ixia responded, “Liam, what do you like then? I’ll take it for you.”
Blake felt uncomfortable hearing Ixia’s high-pitched voice. ‘Is this the same person who didn’t want Liam around her? Now, it seems like she’s infatuated with him.’
Liam just ignored Ixia and asked Blake, “Are you full?”
He nonchalantly wiped his hands with a napkin.
