True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1441

When Maria heard the conversation, she felt an unspeakable pain in her heart.

She felt really sorry for Liam.

It turned out that every family was different. Not everyone could live happily without worries.

Not every parent was willing to dedicate their all to their children; some would only demand.

Why did Liam's mother need so much money?

She didn't want to make any wild speculations just from a few words from a phone call as she didn't know the full story.

Her heart still ached, and she felt like she was suffocating inexplicably.

"I already told you I don't have any money left. I've given you all that I had. 50 million dollars. I've given you all the savings I had left. If you're still not satisfied, there's nothing more I can do." Liam's voice sounded again.

Maria gasped a cold breath of air.

"Whatever. Do you think I'm afraid that you'll expose me now that I've hit rock bottom? Do whatever you like. You won't get a single penny more after you've used it all." Liam said coldly, word by word, "I don't care. I'm not the parasite anyway, and it's not like I'm afraid of ending up with nothing. In fact, I've never had anything from the very beginning."

Maria was upset hearing that. She couldn't help clenching her fists.

"No matter what, I should still send you my regards. You gave birth to me after all. Bye."

The call seemed to have ended.

Maria was so scared that she quickly turned away.

She hurriedly went back to the table, picked up the glass, and downed the wine.

Even though she knew she wasn't supposed to drink red wine like that, Maria still couldn't stop herself from wanting more. Only by doing so could she control the overflowing sadness in her.

It was too unbearable.

How could Liam have such a mother?

She couldn't show it out. She couldn't let Liam know she had heard the phone call.

She lowered her head and munched on the cake, yet her eyes were incredibly sore. She wanted to cry, not for herself, but him.

A minute later, Liam appeared at the door. He smiled and said with an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I went to pick up a call."

Maria looked at him subconsciously. She noticed his smile was particularly bright.

At that very moment, Maria felt as if there were thousands of knives piercing right through her heart.

It was more than familiar to her.

Because she was used to hiding her true feelings and thoughts with a bright smile like that, most of the time.

She didn't want anyone to see her fragile side.

But when she saw Liam doing so, she felt really upset.

Although he was covering his desolate heart with a smile, hiding everything perfectly with a light curve on his lips, yet she could see that he wasn't happy deep down.

His eyes were gloomy, and he was trying his best to hide the sadness inside him. However, the paleness and loneliness left behind from the faint smile still exposed him.

"It's okay." Maria couldn't bear to look at his face. She was afraid that she would feel sorry for him.

"It just so happened my mother called. I sent her my regards as per your request," he said in a soft voice. "She was very happy. Thank you, Maria."

Hearing this, Maria's eyelashes trembled slightly. She couldn't speak for a long while.

She continued stuffing her mouth with the cake, yet tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Maria quickly bowed her head to cover it up as she didn't want Liam to see it.

However, Liam still noticed it. He fixed his eyes on her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing," Maria replied in a choked voice, trying her best to hide her sadness.

"You are crying," he said.

"The cake is too good." Maria raised her head and smiled. It was worse than a cry. "I'm a little emotional because I've never had such a good cake, Liam. Don't worry, I'm fine. Really."
