True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1439

As she entered, Maria found this three-bedroom apartment located in the luxurious residential area in Northern City wasn't the biggest suite.

Judging from the interior design, it was bought four years ago, and it was also renovated then as well.

There was nothing in the house that belonged to a woman; the style was purely masculine. There was a built-in enclosed shoe cabinet.

After entering, Liam placed the car key on top of the open space in the shoe cabinet. Then he opened the cabinet, took out a pair of women's indoor slippers that still had the price tag on, and handed it to her.

"Here you go," he said.

Maria was stunned at once when she saw the women's slippers. Did he have other female guests before?

"My previous assistant bought them. There are a few pairs of women's slippers as well as men's. My team would come over now and then, but they no longer do after I came back." Maria managed to capture the faint sense of loss in Liam's tone.

She shook her head and immediately said, "Oh, it doesn't matter. Life is full of ups and downs. You don't have to keep your mind stuck in difficult moments.

"Put them on. They were bought four years ago, but it's still brand new," he said.

"Okay." Maria put the slippers on and followed him inside.

"Make yourself at home," he said and went into a room.

Maria looked up and watched as he walked into the room. She could tell it was a bedroom from the crack of the door.

His cold yet muscular figure made her disoriented for a moment. In actuality, she had been very busy recently. She had a dream, so she had been thinking about how to fulfill it. Therefore, she didn't think too much about anything else as she would feel empty if she had nothing on hand.

The fact that she was actually in Liam's apartment then was beyond her expectations.

It was so sudden that Maria thought it was a dream.

She sat on the couch, still in a daze, as well as reserved.

Perhaps, it would be good if they were able to be friends. At least, he wouldn't treat her cynically.

With their current relationship, she could at least see him and know that he was doing fine. He was as warm as usual. It was a good start.

As she thought of this, a smile appeared at the corners of her lips, and her eyes were filled with hope.

She quietly looked around. It was a private space for one with a black couch and a white coffee table. Even the dining table was decorated in black and white.

She walked to the open kitchen and noticed a homemade cake on the countertop. It looked ordinary, and it was a work in progress. There were some washed strawberries and mangoes on the side; it seemed that they were used to decorate the cake.

It was a six-inch cake.

A cake?

Something flashed across Maria's mind suddenly. It was Liam's birthday that day.

She was dumbfounded.

She felt a little upset all of a sudden. "Was he celebrating his birthday alone? Was there no one to celebrate his birthday with him?" She thought.

She stood in front of the cake and looked at the half-completed bag of buttercream on the side. She then washed her hands, used whatever was available to make some pink buttercream and decorated the cake.

She was glad to have learned it while she was in London as she was enthusiastic about making cakes. She imagined making one for Liam someday.

To her surprise, her wish came true so soon.

The roses she piped were gorgeous. She then wrote "Happy birthday, Liam" on it.

After that, she placed a few whole strawberries and some diced strawberries and mangoes on the top.

When Liam was done changing his clothes, He came out to find her decorating the cake in the kitchen.

The beautiful flowers on the cake were shaped exquisitely under her hands. It was really lovely.

Initially, he had only intended to make a simple fruit cake and celebrated the most shabby birthday. But out of his expectations, he met her on set and even brought her home.

The cake was incredibly beautiful when it was done. The girl had a pair of very dexterous hands.

He just watched as the girl finished decorating the cake. She walked to the dining table holding the cake.

Maria saw Liam as soon as she looked up.

She was surprised to find that Liam was staring at her all the while.

She thought that he was upset, so she immediately apologized, "Sorry. I decorated without your permission. Am I not allowed to touch it?"

"No, no worries." Seeing that she was so cautious in front of him, Liam felt a little sorry.

He even reflected upon himself, thinking he was horrifying to her. So she would be timid and easily defensive when she was in front of him.

She was actually the daughter of the Lowe family, a true child born with a silver spoon. She was from a good background, and her parents doted on her.
