True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1447

After Maria was done with all that, she suddenly felt more at ease.

She didn't know if all that had happened was right or wrong, but she knew she didn't regret it.

Perhaps it was all because it was him.

She glanced at the time on her phone and found that it was already past three, but she wasn't sleepy at all.

No one called her. She heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that her parents didn't seem to know she had sneaked out.

Before she came out, she left a message on the desk in her room for fear that her parents might get worried and look for her in the morning. In the note, she mentioned that she went out with her friends to the studio city early in the morning.

That way, she could avoid a lot of trouble.

As if she was committing a crime, she felt excited, afraid, yet happy at the same time.

She turned her head to look in the direction of the bedroom. Liam seemed to have been in the shower for more than 20 minutes.

She shook her head and laughed. Did he need a lot of time to prepare himself?

Suddenly, the door opened.

Liam appeared at the door, wearing teal silk pajamas with a loose knot around his waist, revealing his muscular necklines and his protruded Adam's apple. He looked perfectly seducing. Every line on his body revealed a strong stimulus, causing a powerful visual impact.

In awe, Maria stood rooted to the ground with her mouth agape as she looked at him like an anthomaniac.

His hair was also dried. It seemed that he deliberately took a 20-minute shower to prepare himself.

She had also dried her hair earlier with his hairdryer. The toiletries in his bathroom were of a complete set, including face masks and skincare products. He could be considered a sophisticated guy. Liam walked toward her. His tall stature portrayed the aura of an accomplished noble. His distinctive features showed a sense of gentleness and warmth.

It was a fatal temptation to her.

She really felt that she couldn't ignore the feelings Liam gave her.

Maria's heart was pounding ceaselessly.

Subconsciously, she stood up from the sofa and looked at him reservedly.

Liam walked over, seeming a little domineering. The height gap between them made her seem even more petite. She could only raise her head to look at him as the man's handsome and delicate face reflected upon her eyes.

"Why did you come out?" he asked in a low voice.

"I came out to check my phone. My parents didn't realize I've sneaked out." She answered softly and lowered her head again.

The man's charm was simply too alluring to ignore. She didn't dare continue to look at him for fear her last bit of reasoning would disappear.

Liam smiled and ruffled her hair. "Are you afraid that your parents will find out?"

"Mm," Maria said. "If my dad finds out, you're screwed."

Liam raised his eyebrows, not seeming worried at all. He was even shocked by his reaction, disoriented for a moment.

He thought it could be a good thing if Mr. Zachary found out. He would have to take responsibility for sleeping with her.

Seeing him disoriented, Maria thought he was scared, so she immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything. I'll take our secret to the grave."

Liam frowned slightly. He didn't like what she said.

"My dad is quite strict, but he loves me very much. My mommy, on the other hand, is more easygoing. She gave birth to me when she was around my age. She probably knows she's in no place to lecture me about this." Maria explained, feeling a little embarrassed and awkward.

Seeing that Liam remained silent, she felt even more embarrassed. "Are you scared?"

"No." He reached out and pulled Maria into his arms.

Maria leaned her face on his chest, confined in his embrace.

The fragrance of the shampoo drifted into her nostrils. It smelled good.

Maria's eyes were on his throat. His Adam's apple bopped, exuding a seductive temperament.

Maria stood frozen in awe.

Liam lowered his head and stared right into her eyes.

Maria felt as if she had fallen into a black hole, being sucked by him completely.

Liam bent down and carried her into the bedroom once more in his arms.

Then, he kissed her oh-so eagerly.

The irritation he felt the entire day was finally all gone.

But just as he was ready to enter, he suddenly realized the thing they bought was left outside. He drew a breath and whispered, "I'll go get that."

"Don't worry about that." She blushed and said, "I've just taken the pill."

Stunned, lamentation flashed across his eyes as he scolded her, "Why didn't you listen to me?"

She shook her head and said, "I don't think it's fair for me to tie you down with a child."

Liam frowned for a moment and then sighed, "Maria, did the heavens send you to punish me?"

"No." She shook her head and corrected him. "It's me who lost myself to you. I'm willing to do anything for you."

His cold and stiff heart gradually crumbled, filled up with warmth.

He became more and more fond of this feeling.

He suddenly realized he was very selfish. She had just experienced her first time and her body had not recovered from it, yet he couldn't control

himself. He could only patiently enter her little by little.

It wasn't until the right time that they finally felt each other.

When the first ray of sunshine appeared, Liam thought he was really a monster. He had only wanted to do it for a little while, but he didn't expect to torture her till the crack of dawn.

The girl in his arms was exhausted, but she still tried her best to cooperate with him. Even when she was already worn out, she was unwilling to disappoint him.

It wasn't until Liam was done that he said to her, "Go ahead, have a good sleep."

Maria fell asleep within seconds.

Looking at the girl's sweaty strands of hair and her fair flushed face, Liam thought Maria really had him in her heart.

He went to the bathroom and got a warm towel to wipe her body for her. After that, he hugged her to sleep.

The second before he fell asleep, he thought he really enjoyed the feeling of being kept in her heart.

Since when did this feeling start?

It should be from the time when she kissed him in the airport.

She was so domineering that it struck him deep down.

Maria's phone rang at seven-thirty.

The noise woke her up. She was afraid her parents would look for her, so she reached for her phone quickly. Fortunately, Liam put it on the bedside table for her. What a considerate man he was.

She became even more nervous when she found out it was her father.

Liam also woke up.

"It's my dad. Don't make a sound," she whispered.

"Okay." Liam nodded as he hugged her.

Maria was stunned by his actions, but she had already answered the call. She had no time to be shy. Her voice was trembling a little. "Hey, Dad?"

"Where are you?" Zachary asked upsettingly.

Maria immediately said, "I'm at the studio city with my friend."

"Which friend is it?"

"Dad!" Maria protested. "I'm already an adult. Why do you have to ask? You're invading my privacy."

"Do you think I didn't know you sneaked out in the middle of the night?" Zachary said solemnly, "I checked the surveillance. You left at one in the middle of the night."

Maria froze in an instant; her face, ghostly pale.

"Dad, how can you do such a thing?"

In a stern tone, Zachary ordered, "Come back right now."

At that moment, another voice appeared from the other end of the call. "Maria, it's Mommy. Are you seeing someone?"

Maria was astonished once again. "Mommy?"

"What I'm saying is, go ahead and play. You've been smart ever since you were a child; I believe you know how to take care of yourself. So ignore your dad; just come home tonight. I'll deal with him." Maria immediately said, "Okay, I'll go back tonight. Mommy, I'll switch off my phone then."

"Okay." Yvonne directly hung up the phone and looked at her husband, who was full of rage. "What are you doing? Are you trying to interfere in your daughter's relationship?"

"Yvonne, do you know she sneaked out in the middle of the night?"

Yvonne nodded. "I know; I heard the noise."

"You knew?" Zachary was astounded.

"Yeah," Yvonne said firmly.

"You knew, yet you didn't stop her?" "Why should I?"

"Do you think it's appropriate for a girl to go out in the middle of the night?"

"If I wasn't with you in the middle of the night back then, how would we have Maria and everything else we have right now? Our dear son, and also this fella in my belly." Yvonne said as she stuck her belly out toward Zachary.

Zachary was shocked upon hearing her words. "What did you say?"

"I'm pregnant," Yvonne said. "Thanks to your hard work, I'm pregnant again. Zachary, do you know how embarrassing it is for me to be pregnant after 40?"
