Maria looked at Liam in surprise for a while, then smiled in embarrassment.
"Of course I know that my father loves me. I know that he loves me a lot. He's strict with me because when I was young, I lived alone with him for over a year. In fact, my relationship with my father is sometimes deeper than me and my mother's."
Liam nodded and added, "Your parents are all very great, even your grandmother. They're so much nicer than how I imagined them to be."
"It was rather unexpected that they did not make things difficult for you." Maria heaved a sigh of relief. "I was not confident at first. I even thought that my father would make things difficult for you, but that doesn't seem to be the case, does it?"
Liam nodded. "Not only did he not make things difficult for me, he even talked a lot with me. He knows you well, and he is even willing to help me terminate my contract for you."
Liam knew all too well that Zachary was doing all that for Maria.
"What did my father say about the contract termination?" Maria was still worried about that.
"He'll finalize the team of lawyers tomorrow morning. He said that I don't have to worry too much after that. I just need to cooperate with them," Liam explained as he drove.
"If you want to terminate your contract in advance, you're really going to need my father's help. The two of us alone are not strong enough to do so." Maria understood their limits well.
"I told your father that I'll sign a lifetime contract with you in the future," Liam said, glancing at her.
Maria was surprised. "A lifetime contract?"
"That's right, a lifetime contract."
Maria's heart was suddenly beating faster. She could not believe that he was actually willing to do that.
She widened her eyes. "Aren't you afraid that I'll fail you?"
Liam smiled and asked, "Would you?"
"Of course not. But what if? Liam, how can you trust me just like this? This is wrong." Maria tried to convince him. "You can't trust others so easily. Liam, you can't be serious."
Liam looked at Maria with a hint of a smile in his eyes. "Silly girl. You've given your heart to me. Is there anything more precious than that? Why should I be wary of you?"
Maria was dumbfounded at first, then she blushed and gave an embarrassed smile. "That's different. That's just my feelings. But you're handing over your feelings and your career into my care. Are you sure about that?"
Liam nodded and said seriously, "Yes, I'll give you my everything."
Maria was touched by his words. She stared at him in disbelief, feeling that he had really shocked her that day.
Soon, Liam was driving into the underground garage of his apartment building. Maria turned to him and said, "Liam, I'm so touched."
Liam smiled. He did not say anything, but in reality, he was touched by Maria's family.
Zachary had offered to terminate the contract for him. Liam knew it would cost a lot to do so, but Zachary did not hesitate at all.
Therefore, he needed to show his sincerity. He felt that he needed to give Maria everything he could in order to live up to her parent's expectations and kindness.
He parked the car.
Maria was in no hurry to get out of the car. She tilted her head and looked at Liam. "Did you really say that to my father?" "Of course." Liam nodded.
"What did he say? Was he touched?" Maria asked curiously.
Liam shook his head. "I couldn't whether he was touched, but I think that he was shocked. He said that we should talk about that after the termination of my contract, but I've decided that you'll be in charge of everything about me in the future. My scripts, the jobs I take, and everything else."
"Wow! You have so much respect for me. I'm so touched." Maria smiled happily, her eyes sparkling.
Liam smiled and said, "You get emotional too easily. Come on, let's go upstairs."
"Okay, let's bring the food up." Maria smiled.
