True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 1637

Johnny said, "You haven't successfully terminated the contract. Is it appropriate that you don't come to work?"

"Talk to my lawyer if you have any questions. He'll answer them," Liam replied indifferently.

Johnny took in a long, deep breath. "Liam, I only said that because I want to meet you. Don't misunderstand."

"What's the matter?"

"Well talk when we meet," was all Johnny replied.

Then, Liam answered, "Some other day perhaps. I have something to do today."

"What's so important? It'll only take half an hour."

"No. I won't be free over the next couple of days." Liam was firm.

That was because he wanted to spend the next two days with Maria.

He wanted to cherish the time he had with Maria instead of wasting it on someone useless.

"Won't you see me at all?" Johnny sighed in frustration. "Liam, we run in the same circles, so we'll run into each other eventually."

"You're right," Liam replied nonchalantly. "That's what I thought so too. It's a small world, so we should treat each other with kindness. However, it seems like not everyone thinks the same way as me."

"Liam, it was Miss White's idea to have me call you back from England. If she didn't ask me to, I wouldn't have done it," Johnny protested.

Liam smirked slightly at Johnny's words. He was blaming Cindy for what happened.

Since Cindy had fallen from grace, others took the opportunity to kick her while she was down.

Human nature could be so despicable at times.

Liam laughed. "It's all in the past. In fact, I should thank you. I would have never thought of dissolving the contract if you never asked me to come back. So, thanks to you and Miss White, I finally have the determination to break my contract. If not, I would have lost my freedom."

Liam's words hit Johnny like a brick wall. Feeling embarrassed, Johnny could only laugh uneasily.

"Do you blame me for that?" he asked.

Liam chuckled. "Why would I do that? It wasn't your fault. I understand your situation, Johnny."

Despite that, Liam knew that Johnny could not be

trusted.

"Liam, we're still good friends, aren't we? I always hoped I could help you restore you to your glory days, but the situation we're in makes it impossible. Please understand."

"Johnny, you're too polite." Liam's voice was very calm. "I'm going to hang up now. We'll talk more when we meet next time. Bye."

Johnny had no choice but to end the call.

Liam returned to the bedroom. Although Maria was exhausted, she was not asleep. When she saw him coming back, she managed to ask, "I think your manager is afraid you'll take revenge on him after you break your contract. That must be why he's apologizing."

Liam nodded. "I think so too."

Maria sighed. "People are so complicated. Why can't we be more sincere with each other?"

"It's good if one can establish healthy limits and boundaries," Liam replied. "You're still young, and show business is very complicated. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to let you become a manager. There are lots of fake people in this circle, and you won't know who's being genuine or not."

"Then, it's even more imperative that I get involved. I won't let you face the dangers alone," Maria insisted.

Liam was moved by Maria's words, and he turned to look at her lovingly.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Maria felt embarrassed.

Her words had warmed the cockles of his heart. He always knew that Maria was a warm-hearted person, as warm as the sun.

Didn't Maria come to his rescue during the darkest days of his life? Liam thought to himself.

Had it not been for Maria, Liam would have been ended up depressed and lost.

He continued to look at her with a doting gaze.

Maria blushed under his intense gaze. "Hey, why are you still looking at me? Why aren't you saying anything? I'll be shy if you keep staring at me."

"Oh, Maria," Liam murmured, lowering his head and kissing her. He wanted to show Maria just how much he loved her.

She very quickly ran out of breath and gasped as she looked at him.

Liam let go of her and whispered, "Maria, thank you for being the light of my life."

"Why are you being so polite? We're together because I love you," Maria muttered shyly.
