Free Web NovelChapter 717: Chapter 715: I Won’t Give Birth Anymore [2nd Update]
So, Liam Spencer’s attitude was much tougher than before.
At this moment, he was seriously warning Maya Spencer’s belly: "Little one, behave yourself. Don’t bully your mom, don’t kick her; otherwise, when you come out, I’ll settle the score with you."
Hearing Liam’s warning, Maya giggled.
Liam said, if the baby is a girl, he’ll protect both of them; if the baby is a boy, the two of them will protect her.
That day, Maya was feeling bored at home, so she secretly slipped away to Christopher Scott and Sophia Bennett’s new house, looking for people to play Mahjong.
It was just before the New Year, and Liam was extremely busy with meetings big and small. He’d become the chairman, not having 24 hours to follow her around; she took this chance to sneak out and relax.
At Christopher’s house, Maya, Seven Murray, Ella Turner, and Sophia made a full Mahjong table, with only Noah Owen beside them taking care of his son.
And Seven was already eight months pregnant, but her hands were itching, and she couldn’t resist wanting to play cards.
Sophia tossed a tile lazily and said, "Maya, if Liam comes over later and tears my house down, I’m coming after you for compensation. You’ve seen how nervous he gets, yet you came out to play behind his back."
"It’s fine, he’s in a meeting. Besides, it’s not like I’m cheating on him, what am I afraid of?" Maya was unconcerned.
"Oh? Do you want to cheat on him?" Just as Maya finished speaking, Liam’s voice came from outside the door.
Maya’s heart skipped a beat, and the tile in her hand fell out in fright.
When she saw Liam bustling in, she immediately stood up from the chair, pouted, and complained aggrievedly, "Liam, you bastard, you scared me to death, I’m not doing this anymore."
Maya, afraid that Liam would confront her, took the initiative.
In the early stages of pregnancy, she had promised Liam she’d listen to him and wouldn’t mess around.
However, after staying at home for months, she couldn’t bear it anymore, so she took the chance to sneak out for fun while he was at a meeting, not expecting to be caught red-handed.
"Hahaha..." Maya’s antics made Hudson Moore and the others laugh.
In short, no matter what Liam did or said, Maya always found a way to deal with him.
On hearing Maya say she wouldn’t do it, Liam turned pale with fear, quickly moved behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist, gently coaxing, "Maya darling, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have scared you. Even if you really went out cheating, I wouldn’t blame you, okay?"
"Liam, that’s just too undignified! How could you say such things, aren’t you afraid Maya might really cheat?" Hudson, seeing Liam grovel to Maya, couldn’t stand it.
Although knowing he was just coaxing Maya, this was just too out of line!
"I really can’t see anyone else but you." Liam’s way of coaxing Maya was getting more and more adept, just a few words could make her smile and listen to him.
"Oh wow! They’re at it again." Every time Hudson saw Liam and Maya, he felt tormented.
To make things worse, now there was more than one lovey-dovey couple, there were also Christopher and Sophia, Elijah Reed and Ella, Seven and Ian Hobbs, Henry Reid and Noah, she felt she’d taken a thousand emotional damages, so she could only huddle for warmth with Xavier Graham and the others.
"I’m not arguing with you, I’m going back to my game." Maya smugly sat back down and started playing Mahjong again.
Liam simply switched to a big chair, embracing her from behind, letting her sit on his lap.
"Liam, you’re just too tactful! Isn’t this forcing us to suffer your public displays of affection?" Sophia chuckled wickedly.
Hearing her words, Christopher immediately leaned in to give her a kiss and played a tile for her: "Five Bamboo."
"Hahaha, Christopher, thanks for the win!" Across the table, Maya won the hand and laughed gleefully.
Sophia protested, turning to pinch Christopher’s cheek and asked, "You scoundrel, did you do it on purpose? How are you going to make it up to me?"
"Honey, I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean it. Who knew Maya would be so lucky, I played any tile and she won." Christopher wished he could cut off his hand; every time he played cards with Maya, he ended up gifting her the win.
Calling her "my sweetheart" wasn’t wrong, he treated her so well.
"Sophia, your husband’s just contributing to my baby’s milk fund."
"Little one, do you really think I’m short on your milk money?" Liam leaned in and bit Maya’s ear lightly.
Xavier and the other bachelors couldn’t take it anymore and started a table on the side.
At this moment, a servant brought snacks for everyone. Liam carefully fed Maya with a plate, while Sophia coquettishly complained, "Christopher, next time, get ahead of Liam, don’t let him steal the spotlight."
"Hey, next table over, could you care about how we feel a bit?" Lucas Shaw was almost in tears; both he and Xavier were 30 this year, yet they didn’t even know where their girlfriends were.
Hudson was 26 this year, still had a few more years to play around, and as for Asher Norton, he already had a wife at home; so he and Xavier were in a really sorry state.
At this moment, Madam Scott arranged the dinner banquet for tonight and came over to watch everyone play Mahjong.
Every time these young ones gathered to play, she’d come over to host.
She scanned the two tables, one table with couples, the other single guys; but there was an exception.
Madam Scott looked at the expressionless Asher and asked with concern, "Asher, I met your mom a few days ago, and she mentioned you’re going through a divorce with Riley Moore, she already moved out of the Norton Family home, is that true?"
Asher was calm and unbothered, just casually replied: "It’s not a big deal, she’ll be back after a few days."
But in his heart, he knew better than anyone, Riley wasn’t joking with him, she just wanted to give birth to a son or daughter for the Norton Family, and if she thought of divorce, she probably meant it.
"A divorce? Asher, didn’t I see you two doing fine when you got married?" Maya gossiped with a frown.
"Little one, your mind’s all over the place? Playing cards, eating, and gossiping all at once, can you manage?" Liam picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Maya’s mouth.
Nowadays, Maya was becoming more adorable, more in love with life, and he loved seeing her gossip, loved her integrating into his life, loved her being close with his friends, which gave Liam a sense of home.
Ever since getting together with Maya, Liam’s once lonely heart was filled, Maya filled all the emotional voids he had.
Seeing Asher indifferent, Madam Scott handed him a piece of fruit: "Asher, don’t blame me for being nosy, Riley is a good girl, your mom likes her too. Why don’t you two stop fighting? The day after tomorrow is New Year’s Eve, you guys all have time off, coax Riley a bit, have her come over on New Year’s Eve for the gathering. This year, I’m hosting everyone at my place for New Year."
"Ma’am, my dad said this year everyone’s going to his place for New Year." The little pregnant Maya chimed in again, since becoming pregnant, her mood had been exceptionally good.
