Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1379

For a moment, a warm feeling washed over Liam's cold and lonely heart. He was stunned for a moment and kept staring at Maria deeply.

Maria's head was lowered and she did not look at him. Her long eyelashes looked thick and dense from the side.

Her eyes and the tip of her nose were red from all the crying, but she would still sob from time to time. Her lips were slightly parted, making her side-profile look attractive.

Sure enough, she was a very beautiful girl.

Seeing that Maria was not looking at him, Liam lowered his head and unlocked the lock on the suitcase using his birth date. As expected, he opened the luggage.

When the suitcase opened, Maria's clothes came into view. They were tidied up, with only some clothes for changing and some inner-wear.

Seeing the lingerie, the space between Liam's eyebrows started to twitch. He felt extremely awkward.

He took a deep breath as his handsome face tensed up even more. He reached out to grab a piece of clothing. It was a jacket.

He handed it to Maria.

Maria lowered her eyes as her long eyelashes trembled slightly. She took it but did not move.

The jacket was laid on her lap.

"Um," Liam tried to sound casual and nonchalant, "Get changed. I'll wait for you outside."

After that, he closed the suitcase and put it in the trunk behind him.

The door was closed.

Maria was the only one left inside the car.

She finally looked up and felt that her heart had calmed down a lot.

At the very least, she felt that it was relieving to say what she had stored in her heart for so many years.

No matter what the result was, she said it. She was brave.

No matter what happened after gathering her courage, she had no complaints or regrets, be it a happy tragic ending..

It was better than staying silent. It was better than being secretly in love with him all this time.

She changed the shirt that had been torn by Liam, holding it in her arms after doing so.

Outside the car, Liam stood there with his back to the door. His heart was in a mess, and he couldn't describe his current mood in words.

She followed him to London, and even set his birthday as the password to open her luggage.

In simpler terms, Maria was no more than a mindless fangirl.

At the same time, the shock brought to him by such a crazy fan was overwhelming.

He took a deep breath and exhaled. He really wanted to smoke, but he had always abided by his duty as a public figure. Hence, he did not have the bad habit of smoking.

Yet right there and then, he had a strong urge to take a puff.

Liam wondered if Maria had changed her clothes.

He didn't look back, afraid that he would see something he shouldn't.

Although he had done something he shouldn't have and scared her, he was still rational and didn't go too far.

Five minutes had passed.

Liam wanted to ask if she was done.

Maria remained silent inside the car as she had already changed her clothes. She turned her eyes and looked at Liam's figure sadly.

When she changed her clothes just now, she saw the red mark left by his hand on her body. When she touched it gently, it felt warm but painful.

Maria could not describe that feeling. She was grateful that he could still be rational at the very last moment. However, she was also angry at the fact that he did not like her but treated her as such.

However, she did not know what would happen in the future.

Now that she looked at his figure, she suddenly thought that if he really wanted her, she could give it to him.

Indeed, Maria was willing to give herself to him if he really wanted it.

Another five minutes passed.

It had already been ten minutes, and Maria's eyes were fixed on Liam's figure outside.

All of a sudden, she saw Liam holding his phone as he lowered his head. It seemed as if he was sending a message to someone.

Following this, a notification came from her phone.

She opened it and saw three words: Have you changed?

Her heart skipped a beat, and she opened the door. All of a sudden, she turned around and ran in front of Liam.

Upon hearing that, Liam was stunned.

He felt a petite figure rush straight into his arms. Maria wrapped her arms around Liam's waist as if she had lost all sense of reason.

His heart skipped a beat.

Liam was thrown back by her strength. He took a step back and leaned against the door of the car.

Maria's tiny body was in his embrace, and she had reached into his clothes involuntarily.

After composing her emotions, Maria returned to her usual self, as if nothing had happened.

She said, "Thank you for sending me back, Mr. Robinson."

Liam looked at her deeply, marveling at the girl's ability. She was a natural actor and was able to sort out her mood easily.

As for him, he was still in a mess.

"Where is your home? I'll take you there," He still chose to act gentlemanly. After all, he had studied in the UK before.

"No, I'll have my family pick me up," Maria turned him down politely, "I won't invite you to come home for tea. I haven't brought a boy back before, so my parents might misunderstand. I'm sorry."

Upon hearing that, Liam was stunned.

"Goodbye," Maria spoke again.

She was still smiling, acting polite and distant.

Liam nodded and returned the greeting, "Goodbye."

He got in the car.

When Maria heard that the door of the car close, she took her phone and called home, "Dad, I'm home. I'm at the gate of our house. Hurry up and come pick me up."

Liam's window was open. She could hear the girl's fluttering voice, but he couldn't sense any emotion in her tone. She really knew how to put on an act.

It was no wonder that she had been so calm during those years at London University.

It turned out that she was good at pretending.

However, she could speak in such a happy voice in front of her family right now. It made him a little jealous. After all, Liam had a busy and messy day.

"What? You guys are in Southland? Why didn't anyone tell me? Wouldn't that mean I'm the only one at home?"

Maria was very surprised and shouted, "You are so mean. You didn't tell me you went back to Southland. I wanted to surprise you, but you ended up giving me a surprise instead."

She didn't expect that her family had all gone back to Southland and that she had come back for nothing.

On the phone, her father said that they would come back soon.

"Forget it. You guys should enjoy yourself. I will go home by myself. You can have fun without me. I'm fine," Maria quickly comforted her father, "I am glad that you didn't go to England. In that case, it will be a completely different story. It's okay if you're in Southland. Don't worry about me. I have grown up. Don't forget that when my mother gave birth to me, she was almost the same as me now. I'll be fine alone, don't treat me as a child, okay? Well, I'll stop here, I'm hanging up."

Hearing this, Liam, who had been staying there all this time, was stunned.

From the rearview mirror, he saw Maria hanging up the phone.

He hesitated for a moment before getting out of the car and walked up to Maria.
