Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1340

Maria understood clearly that she was a joke to him at this moment, the biggest joke in the world.

She also laughed.

Her eyes were sparkling like the stars in the night sky.

Liam's eyes narrowed before he heard Maria ask him once more.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me. What if the person asking was Celeste? Would your answer still be the same?"

Liam widened his eyes in disbelief at fury. He glared at Maria, shooting daggers from his eyes.

"Did you hear me on the phone?"

Maria didn't answer.

After all, she really did hear him.

She had heard his biggest secret.

The girl he liked was Celeste.

Maria really wanted to laugh, but her eyes felt sore and prickly for no good reason.

She was already 20 years old. She was no longer a crybaby.

"Maria Lowe, you're really strange," Liam looked at Maria sardonically as if he was mocking her question, "What does it have to do with Celeste? I just don't want you to interfere with my life. Didn't you say that you're not my fan, and I'm no longer your idol? Great. My career will be over, and you will be happy too. Isn't that even better?"

"I'm not as narrow-minded as you think. Even if you're no longer my role model and idol, you're still an idol I once liked. Naturally, I'm not willing to see your career plummet. Even if that happens, I hope that the Liam I know can persevere and slowly build his career again until he reaches the peak of his career."

"Only then will you be worthy of becoming my idol. After all, the Liam Robinson I used to love was someone proud and resourceful."

"When I asked you if you could hold on, I wanted you to hold on."

"You can just treat whatever I'm saying as a piece of advice from a die-hard fan. That's all."

Maria laughed at herself mockingly. Her long eyelashes trembled because of her smile, and it could be seen that she was sad from the shape of her lips.

She felt that it was difficult to breathe.

Liam didn't leave. He just quietly listened to

Maria's emotional words.

The two of them were silent, and neither of them continued to speak.

Several minutes had passed. Finally, it was Maria who broke the silence.

She said, "Two years ago, do you still remember our accidental kiss?"

The image of the kiss flashed through Liam's mind.

He was in a panic at that time.

"You're the one who initiated it."

"Wha-what do you want?" It was rare for Liam to stutter.

"Although I know it's nothing to you, it's my first kiss," Maria stared right into his eyes and witnessed his struggles.

Her smile looked even more bitter and wry.

"So I wanted to forget about it, but every time I tried, I would think that it was unfair. Why did you kiss me? I didn't allow you to do so."

Liam looked at Maria in shock. His eyes were filled with astonishment, and he looked frightened.

"That's why I want to take that kiss back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Maria stood on her tiptoes and hooked her arms around Liam's neck.

She aggressively and strongly kissed Liam's lips.

Almost instantly, Liam could feel the sensation on his lips. A current jolted his entire brain and caused him to tremble subconsciously. His eyes were widened too.

Before he had time to react, the girl had put her tongue in overbearingly.

The pain made his mind go blank for a moment.

Humiliation?

She was humiliating him.

Liam's heart tightened and he clenched his fists in embarrassment. The knuckles of his fingers cracked.

Maria sneered, "What? Do you want to hit me?"

Liam pursed his lips, and a faint trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. It was very painful, but it was dangerously charming.

He stared at the girl's smile. She was still smiling. The agitation, hatred as well as the complicated emotions brewing in her gaze were no longer there.

"Okay, we don't owe each other anything anymore," Liam gritted his teeth.

Upon hearing this, Maria forced another wry smile. She cursed him slowly, "I hope that you are forever doomed."

After saying this, she turned around and left. Her back was stiff. As she turned around, she lost control of her emotions.

Maria didn't know whether the provocation would work. However, she did not wish to see him depressed and at a loss anymore.

Meanwhile, Liam watched her closely.

D*mn it, she was really sharp-tongued.

She actually cursed him.

However, Liam wasn't someone who would go down without a fight.

He was determined not to let others look down on him.

Looking at Maria as she left, Liam pursed his lips. He did not look away until Maria was gone completely.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath. The spot where he'd been bitten was still in great pain.
