The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1180
Lylia smiled. “Leaving so soon? There’s still so much food left.”
Julian said, “Wait, I have something to say to you.”
Liam replied, “If you want to ask me to move back in with you, you can forget it. I have my own life now. This will be our last time meeting. We won’t cross paths again.” Liam’s words were cold and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation.
Liam helped Blake take the coat draped over the back of the chair. Everyone stood up. Blake looked at them with a hesitant expression. When she and Liam reached the door of the private room, she stopped walking, turned around to the other three people in the room, and said, “You three, when talking bad about someone behind their back, it’d be best to keep your voices down from now on. You’re all adults, and it’s shocking how careless you all are.”
Before Blake left, she even made a disdainful expression at them.
Liam smiled as he patted Blake’s head, and the two left the hotel. Liam sat in the driver’s seat, and at that moment, he received a long text message on his phone.
Julian texted: [Liam, I know I’ve wronged you. I shouldn’t have abandoned you back then, but I had my own difficulties at that time. Now, I have the ability to protect you. If you come back to me, everything the Xander family owns will be yours. Consider it as my compensation. Ixia is considered family. She’s still young. Once she reaches the legal age to get married, I’ll witness you two get married, and I’ll have no regrets.
[I’ve investigated your girlfriend’s background. Her background is complicated. But in short, this kind of woman isn’t suitable for you.]
Blake observed Liam’s expression. ” What’s wrong? Did that jerk send you a message that made you angry? Do you need me to teach him a lesson?” She rarely saw such a vulnerable side of Liam. Even though he was smiling at her now, she knew deep down he was feeling hurt.
Liam came back to his senses. He gripped the steering wheel tightly and said, “I-I’m fine.
“Sorry about today. I’m sorry you had to witness such an embarrassing scene.
Blake responded, “It’s okay. Everyone has things they can’t let go of. But, Liam, do you know? I’m actually very happy that you consider me a true friend. You’ve behaved very well in front of them!
“You’re truly outstanding. I admire you a lot. You’ve been famous since you were a teenager. And now, you’ve already sold so many copyrights for your books. You’ve achieved so much, so don’t feel pressured and don’t think you’re not good enough. To everyone, you’re the best! You know how many girls in the company are head over heels for you, right?!”
Blake’s response was long. Suddenly, Liam leaned over to hug Blake, which caught her off guard. Liam embraced her very tightly.”
Blake… Now, you’re the only person I have.”
Blake wanted to hug his arms, but she slowly put her hands down when she thought about another person. Liam drove away. When Blake saw the subway station ahead, she asked him to stop.
“Just stop here,” she said.
Liam asked, “You’re not going back?”
Blake shook her head. “I’m not going back right now. I need to go buy something.”
“I can drive you,” Liam offered.
Blake replied, “It’s fine! I just want to stop by to see him. I don’t know if he’s back, and I want to get him something on the way.”
Liam tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “All right.”
Blake knew that bringing up Kevin now would make Liam feel uncomfortable, but it was unavoidable.
Liam watched Blake get out of the car, and he kept staring at her through the rearview mirror until she slowly disappeared from his sight. He still did not drive the car away long after she had left.
Then, the sky started slowly raining heavily, cleansing everything in its path.
Pedestrians, caught off guard by this sudden downpour, scattered to seek shelter.
