True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1485

Neither of them stepped forward to see off the people they cherished. They hid and watched from afar.

Leah felt like she was mimicking a thief, but then she looked at Liam, and he was covered from head to toe. There was no way someone would be able to recognize his face, meanwhile her identity was out in the open. She came with only a backpack and herself, and that made her all the more hesitant to walk up to them.

Even if she appeared with the excuse of sending off Maria, she would also have to interact with Ernest, and she wasn't sure if she was able to act normal.

Without confidence and composure, she wouldn't be able to succeed.

They gazed at them from a distance, making a big show out of it was unnecessary.

After Ernest and Maria checked in their luggage, they took their boarding passes and bid goodbye to their parents and relatives.

After exchanging a few words, Maria was ready to watch her family return home.

Ernest had a lingering feeling of someone staring at him, but he couldn't tell if it was an illusion. He sensed a piercing gaze on his back, but when he turned around, there wasn't anything there.

The airport had lots of people left and right, and he could see the faces of strangers. However, when he turned back again, he still felt like a pair of eyes was fixed onto him.

Was he completely overthinking it, or was he hoping for something?

Ernest looked at his cousin, Maria, who was standing by his side. She also looked around with expectation written on her face. He frowned slightly and said, "What are you looking for? You've been looking around non- stop. Are you trying to spot Liam?"

"Yeah, I just want to see if he came. I always have an illusion that he is coming." Maria honestly admitted and looked at her cousin sadly. "Ernest, you're single but you don't care. I may be physically here, but my heart resides with him, you get me?"

Ernest raised his eyebrows. "Love made you brainless. You're really making me question if you're my uncle's daughter or not."

"Hey!" Maria sneered. "Do you want me to compare myself to you? How old are you? Do you think you can stop other people for being in love just because you're not?"

"You're absolutely free to fall in love with whoever you choose. I have no right to interfere, and I don't want to interfere." Ernest smiled casually.

"Ernest, is there really no one you're interested in? Were there any special moments for you this summer?" Maria asked keenly.

Ernest understood what she was trying to say. He glanced at Maria and said, "There was nothing special about it. It was really hot, just like the dozens of summer vacations we've had."

Maria rolled her eyes and said, "Looks like you really are capable of chatting until someone dies of boredom. If you go on like this, you won't even be able to talk to girls, and they'll find it hard to like you. You're gonna suffocate them, so you might as well find a sparky girl who can lead you straight with your thoughts."

As Maria spoke, a face flashed in Ernest's mind. He was hypnotized for a moment, then he lowered his head and smiled.

It must have been Leah who thought he was boring. He kind of killed the conversation last night.

That was why he stopped receiving texts from Leah.

He looked down at his watch, and the hands of the clock pointed to 9:30 p.m., and they were going to have to go through security check soon.

"Stop looking for him, let's go. We have a plane to board." said Ernest.

When Maria heard that they had to leave, she turned once more and glanced behind her. Through the glass, she could still see people come and go, but she would no longer be able to see familiar figures.

Did Liam really not come?

She couldn't help but look back, even though she couldn't find the person who left a mark in her heart.

Maybe he didn't come.

How she wished she could see Liam, but she also hoped that she wouldn't spot him, because the person who sends someone off would have to return home with an unspeakable loneliness. She felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

She was afraid of not seeing each other for months. She didn't know if she could hold on for even 100 days.

With a long sigh, Maria nodded to Ernest and said, "Well, I guess it's time for us to go, Ernest."

The two of them passed through a security check, said goodbye to their families, and boarded the plane.

When she could no longer see the outline of the people she knew, Leah shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's go, Mr. Celebrity."

Liam nodded and said, "I'll send you home."

"It's okay." Leah shook her head. "You're a big target, I'm afraid we might get our pictures taken. I can take the cab back home, you don't have to worry about me."

"No one took photos of me," there was a faint twitch in the corner of Liam's lips as he said, "It's been a long time since anyone took a picture of me, so it's not a big deal if I send you back."

Leah gave it some thought and nodded. "Alright then, thanks for the trouble, Mr. Celebrity."

On the way back, Leah insisted on sitting at the backseat. She felt like the passenger's seat held a special significance.

Liam didn't oppose it.
