Liam saw the situation and tightly held her little hand, saying, "Maya, it will be okay."
"I want to go back to my own apartment. I want some time alone," Maya said blankly, listening to Liam's comfort.
Seeing Maya intending to go back to her apartment, Liam's brow instantly furrowed as he turned his head, staring at Maya, seriously asking, "Are you mad at me? Planning to ignore me?"
Maya heard Liam's questioning, took a long breath, turned her head to look out the window, avoiding Liam's gaze.
She was indeed angry, angry at Liam for keeping her in the dark, angry at him for pushing her towards James.
But now, she was confused, lacking the energy to argue with Liam about right and wrong.
So, she resorted to a cold war to vent her inner dissatisfaction.
Seeing her anger, seeing her avoiding eye contact, Liam took a deep breath and called Ella, asking her to go to Maya's apartment.
