True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1623

Liam talked with his future father-in-law, Zachary, for a long time. Zachary did not make things difficult for him, which made him feel relieved.

At the same time, he could really feel the level of kindness and tolerance of the Lowe family. They really accepted him.

What he once thought would be difficult ended up being unexpectedly easy.

When Liam and Zachary were done talking, Zachary told him, "Why don't you go downstairs first? If we continue to stay here, Maria will definitely be worried about you."

Liam stood up and nodded respectfully. "Okay, Mr. Lowe. I'll head downstairs now."

"Go ahead," Zachary replied.

In the living room, Maria was worried. She kept looking in the direction of the second floor, but there were no signs of Liam coming down the stairs.

Yvonne and Nerissa shook their heads when they saw her like that.

Yvonne said, "Maria, your father won't eat your boyfriend. Are you really that worried?"

"Of course. After all, this is his first time coming to our house," Maria answered.

"You should have confidence in him." Yvonne could clearly tell that Maria's heart and mind were completely focused on Liam. "You treat him so well and with so much passion too. It seems like you like him way more."

Maria nodded, not afraid to admit it. "Yes, I do like him. I like him so much that I'd do anything for him."

Nerissa also nodded. Then, she asked with a smile, "Maria, I didn't see you bring in your luggage. Where is it?"

"My luggage?" Maria suddenly remembered that all her luggage was at Liam's apartment. She had not brought it over.

She looked at Nerissa and Yvonne. Then, she asked hesitantly, "Tonight, can I?"

She did not go on, but Nerissa and Yvonne understood. They had once been in her shoes, thus they naturally understood Maria's thoughts.

However, Yvonne pretended not to understand her and asked, "Can you what? I'll get the butler to tidy up your room later."

Upon hearing this, Maria suddenly felt embarrassed. It seemed that she had to stay home that night.

Seeing Maria pout with an aggrieved expression, Yvonne asked, "What's wrong? Why does it look like you don't want to stay at home?"

"What's so great about staying at home?" Maria asked bluntly. "Liam is the reason I came back this time. I want to be with him. Can I go back with Liam tonight?"

Yvonne was rather embarrassed that Maria had spoken so directly. She turned to Nerissa and said, "Mom, do you see that? This is what my baby girl has become."

Nerissa looked at Yvonne, and then at her granddaughter. Smiling, she said, "Maria, can't you go to Liam's again tomorrow morning? Are you unable to be separated from him for even a minute?"

"That's right, Grandma." Maria nodded seriously. Although she felt a little embarrassed, she admitted it openly.

She did not know that Liam had overheard their conversation.

"I just want to be with Liam. I can't leave him, not even for one minute. Grandma, can you please help me? Help me convince Dad later. I know you and Mommy love me the most, and I know the both of you understand young people," Maria continued, trying to coax Nerissa and Yvonne.

Nerissa thought for a while. "Maria, aren't you afraid of being frowned at for staying with Liam?"

"Who would frown on us?" Maria retorted.

"Well, your mother and me," Nerissa replied. "Just look at how you're behaving. It's like you've never had a boyfriend before."

Maria pouted. "It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are a lot of things that I want to talk to him about."

"Are you two really just going to talk?" Yvonne asked deliberately. "Then, have a good talk later."

"Mommy," Maria continued to beg. "Please, you know me the best."

Yvonne snorted. She was trying hard to suppress her laughter.

Liam thought that Maria's behavior was really cute. However, he knew that they should have a sense of propriety, so he hurried down the stairs.

When the three people in the living room heard his footsteps, they all turned to look at him.

Maria immediately went up to him. "Liam, you're back? Did my dad make things difficult for you? What did he tell you?"

"Don't worry. Mr. Lowe treated me very well," Liam said reassuringly.

"Really?" Maria could not believe it. She looked at Liam suspiciously, then looked at the stairs. Zachary still had not come down. "What did he say?"

Liam lowered his voice before saying, "We were talking about the termination of my contract. Maria, if you don't trust Mr. Lowe, he'll be sad."

Maria nodded. "All right, I'll believe you this time. But if my dad does say something, you must let me know. I absolutely won't let anyone bully you."

Zachary came downstairs at that moment. Upon seeing how worried Maria was about Liam, he sighed helplessly.

Maria was Zachary's daughter, yet she was so worried about some other boy.

As a father, Zachary felt a little envious.

Zachary cleared his throat loudly and said, "It's getting late. Liam, you should head back first. I'll ask my assistant to contact you first thing tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Lowe." Liam nodded at once.

Hearing that, Maria quickly looked up at her father. "Dad, it's only eight o'clock. It's not late yet."

Zachary walked past her without even looking at her as if he had not heard anything.
