Maya saw that Liam didn't want to pay her any attention, and she pouted, calling him out, "Third brother!"
She thought to herself, isn't her suggestion for Liam to take a break obvious enough?
They hadn't seen each other for a week, and it had been more than ten days since he last touched her. Now, finally, everything was settled—didn't he want that 'whatever whatever' today?
Of course, Liam wanted it; he was almost going crazy thinking about it. But after recalling the harsh words Maya said to him that day, he simply didn't want to let her have her way and was curious how she would try to win him over.
So when he heard her call out "third brother" again, he nonchalantly asked, "Are we even that close?"
The moment Liam finished speaking, Maya understood why he was ignoring her—it turned out he still held onto a few resentful words she uttered that day.
