True Fated Marriage (Grace and Heinz)
Chapter 1450

"You don't want me to leave?" Maria blinked, feeling even more confused. "But it doesn't look like you want me to stay either."

Liam pulled her in, wrapped his arms around her waist, then leaned in to bite her lip.

"Ouch!" she gasped in pain, "What are you doing? My parents will find out if you leave a bite wound on me."

"You're afraid of being discovered," he said, obviously upset.

"I'm afraid you'll be discovered," she covered her mouth in pain, "I have nothing to lose, but it's not the same for you."

Liam's eyebrows furrowed together.

"You don't like me anyway," she smiled carelessly, "So you don't have to force yourself."

Unexpectedly, Liam felt a little depressed.

She was right, but he felt upset for no reason.

He could only wrap his arms around her waist tightly and not let go.

"It hurts," Maria found it hard to breathe being shackled in his embrace. "I really have to go back." "You said you'd only go back at night when you called your mom earlier." He used her words against her. Stumped, it was only then Maria understood his intention. "You don't want me to leave, do you?"

Liam didn't say anything.

Seeing how upset he was, the corner of her lips curved into a light smile. "Okay then, I'll go back at night."

"Mm," Liam's mood improved instantly. After that, he asked, "Will you come again tomorrow?"

Stunned once more, Maria asked in turn, "Do you want me to?"

"Yes," He nodded.

She had a strange feeling in her heart. What for? Just roll around in bed?

"I should be able to come tomorrow. My friend will be returning to the country tomorrow. He'd probably rest for a bit at home before coming to Northern City the day after, and I'd have to be his tour guide then," she planned the schedule, "Adrian would probably want to stay for a few days, and I might have to keep him company, and then I'll have to fly to England not long after."

Hearing that, a corner of his heart suddenly felt empty, somewhat lost.

It was a terrible feeling.

Gently, Liam let go of her, walked to the couch, and sat down. He became much gloomier then.

Maria walked over and sat down beside him. She took off her slippers and sat cross-legged on the couch.

The atmosphere was a little silent.

After thinking for a long time, she turned her head to look at him, and he happened to be doing the same.

Then their eyes met.

"Why not... you join us the day after?" she asked.

Surprised, an indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes, and he was in a daze for a moment.

Right then, Maria seemed to have realized something and said, "Oh, I forgot. It's not convenient for you to go out. Forget it. You should just stay at home."

There was a trace of anger in his eyes, "I should thank you for thinking of me, shouldn't I?"

"You're welcome," she waved her hand without care, "I like you anyway."

Stunned, Liam suddenly jumped on her.

"Ah!" Maria was shocked. He pressed her down on the couch and kissed her passionately.

Maria was stupefied.

"He doesn't want more, does he?" She thought.

There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. However, he only kissed her deeply, then pressed himself on her and whispered in her ear, "Maria."

"Hmm?" Her voice was shaky.

Liam didn't say anything. She could hear his heaving breathing by her ear, teasing, and it made her a little uneasy.

"I want you to spend all your time with me before you go back to England. Don't spend it with anyone else, okay?" He finally said after a few moments of hesitation.

Maria was stunned upon hearing his words, "But I've already promised Adrian."

Liam's eyes were dark. He lowered his head and kissed her, then mumbled, "I thought you like me."

She was once again stunned.

The man looked at her with puppy dog eyes, and Maria couldn't help but gasped.

The face before herself was too handsome.

Was he trying to seduce her?

Her heart wavered.

But then she said seriously, "I'm elated to hear you say so, but Adrian came back from England, and I happened to have something to talk to him about." She might further her postgraduate studies with Adrian. "Do you not want to?" he sounded a little disappointed.

"Of course I do, but we can't always be like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liam started to touch her all over again.

In an instant, she could tell he was turned on again.

She gasped in shock and felt her blood rushing throughout her body because of him.

As if he was trying to prove something, Liam teased her for a long time, and Maria could no longer speak under his influence.

He was patient, taking his time.

However, she became anxious.

She simply cried, "What are you doing? Are you going to continue or not? Hurry up if you want to. You can't torture me like this even if you don't."

He chuckled and said, "You said we can't always be like this."

It turned out he was waiting for her to say the word.

She had to admit, at present, all he needed to do was give her a subtle hint, and she could get excited.

"I was wrong," she shook her head, "Please, I beg you."

Meanwhile, Liam was also trying hard to hold himself back. Beads of sweat were gradually seeping out of his forehead.

However, he was not in a hurry to continue, merely looking at her.

Nervous, Maria's vision became blurry. Feeling aggrieved, she whined, "You did it on purpose. You're mean."

Finally, he no longer held back. Waves of lust appeared on his face as he went down on her.

What a devil!

He was the devil the heavens have sent to punish her.

They went on until late in the night.

In the Lowe villa.

Zachary brought his wife to the hospital for a consultation, and soon it was confirmed Yvonne was indeed pregnant.

Zachary, who was already happy, was over the moon when the news was confirmed.

He almost couldn't contain his joy. His body trembled slightly as his hand, which was holding onto his wife's, was full of sweat.

Compared to Zachary's excitement, Yvonne appeared rather calm and even a little displeased at his reaction.

She kept sighing after receiving the confirmation, "I wonder if it's a good thing to be pregnant at this age."

"We'll take things as they come." Zachary comforted her in delight, "We have the best health care and the best financial condition. Not just our children, but my mom also supports the idea of us having another child. So, I have a feeling this little one will be showered with love, and they will definitely be a blessing to us."

"You're not the one giving birth," Yvonne sighed and said, "But don't you think it's a little too much?"

"How so?"

"What if Maria also got pregnant?" Yvonne had to speak out her worries.

Upon hearing this, Zachary frowned instantly and said, "What did you say? She has actually already slept with a man?"

"Isn't it normal? So what if she did? There's a chance she'd be pregnant if they've already done it. I was pregnant with Maria when I was her age, so you shouldn't speak like that either."

"She's being reckless," Zachary said worriedly.

"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Maria definitely got this trait from one of us, so let's not blame her," Yvonne said, "I'm just worried if Maria and I got pregnant at the same time, one of us would definitely be embarrassed."

She felt awful just thinking about it.

She was at the age to be a grandmother, yet she continued to be a mother to another baby. How awkward.

Even so, Zachary still did not want to accept the fact that his daughter had slept with another man.

Excitement and frustration kept pervading Zachary.

"Have Maria come back," he said, "She's not allowed to go out anymore."

"But isn't this great? She had always been in love with him. It's not a loss for her if she actually ends up with him," Yvonne was open-minded, "There's nothing to worry about when our daughter is with the boy she likes."

"Is this what you should say as a mother?" Zachary looked at his wife helplessly with a hint of accusation in his tone.

"Mr. Lowe, is that how you should talk to an older pregnant lady? Are you blaming me? It's easy for me to have complications, high blood pressure, and whatnot with this pregnancy coupled with my age. What if my body can't take it and I die during labor? Raise the child alone then."

Yvonne's words shocked Zachary. He focused back on her and said, "Touchwood! Take your words back. Never say that again."

He held Yvonne's hand tightly. He really wouldn't know how to live if she really left him for good.

He couldn't live without her. They were supposed to grow old together; that was the best way of love. So, he definitely could not lose his wife.

He held Yvonne tightly in his arms, his body trembling slightly, "Don't ever say that, okay?"

"Okay," Yvonne smiled slyly. She sighed and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Lowe. Let's head back."

Soon, they went home, and when they told the news to Nerissa, she was overjoyed.

She held Yvonne's hand excitedly and said, "My dear, you really are the lucky star of our family. You're actually pregnant at this age. What good luck this is!"

She reached out to touch Yvonne's belly; sighed as she said, "It'll be good if this child is a boy." "Mom, that's sexist." Yvonne said in surprise.

Madam Lowe shook her head, "It's not that. It's just that when I saw that boy sending Maria back, and then she sneaked out in the middle of the night, I realized she's at the age where her heart is no longer with us. If we have another girl, her heart will definitely belong to another boy sooner or later. If it's a boy, then he can at least bring the girl he likes back to us."

"Mom, you knew Maria went out?"

"Of course."

"Zachary is still upset about it. Another man has stolen his baby girl's heart away. Please don't let him know you are aware of this."

"Could he stop her even if he knew?" Nerissa said, "That boy seems good-looking and polite. It's not a bad thing for Maria to be dating him."

"But Mom, do you know how embarrassing it is for me to be pregnant when Maria is already dating?"

"Not at all," Nerissa said, "This is a blessing. Let's celebrate it. From today on, we should prepare more dishes to nourish your body."

The Lowe family celebrated Yvonne's pregnancy grandly. The table was full of dishes. Yet Maria was not there with them.
