CHAPTER SEVENTY FIVE
“I’m sorry, I’ll just leave.” Liam said, reluctantly averting his gaze from her face.
Mali didn’t know what to say to him, so she just nodded her head in agreement.
Liam already walked out of the door, when he remembered why he went to see her in the first place.
He turned his back against her, and he told her that they were arranging a picnic in the garden, and she was invited, but only as a maid.
Immediately he said that, he left her to her thoughts… her naked thoughts. He laughed at his silly joke in his head, and went to the house.
When he got to the house, he saw that Ella was patiently waiting for him, and he told her not to wait, that she could start the preparation.
Ella reluctantly agreed, and she went to the garden. She found a nice, and conducive place for them. She placed two big blankets on the soft grass, and she laid out all the snacks and games on them.
In five minutes, Alyssa was already ready and she went to the house, but she didn’t see anyone there. So, she just assumed that they were already in the garden.
“Oh, Alyssa! You’re here, you could sweep around. Thank you.” Ella said, with a fake smile.
Alyssa didn’t want to go against Liam’s orders, since he already told her that she was staying with them as a maid. So, she started clearing the invisible dirt around the blankets.
After that, Liam, Ella and Timothy all sat down to start eating the snacks and having talks, while Alyssa just stood there, watching them.
Alyssa started wondering why they invited her to the picnic, if they knew that they were going to have a ‘cute’ family time. She grimaced at Ella, who was trying to act like she was Liam’s legal wife.
She continued standing, until Timothy started pulling her legs downwards, telling her to sit with them.
When Timothy said that, Ella almost slapped him, asking him why he said that, but Liam stopped her and warned her to never try that again.
“Mummy…” Timothy started saying, and he patted the space before him.
Liam looked at her, waiting to see what she was going to do about that.
He was a little bit shocked, when she went to sit on the other blanket instead of sitting with them.
The plan of making her jealous had already kicked into action, but there was no sign of her being jealous at all.
Seeing that, Liam just knew that he had to up his game plan. So, he moved closer to Ella and he started whispering love words to her, which made Ella laugh out loud.
Liam didn’t say anything funny, Ella just laughed that way because she wanted Alyssa to be jealous of her.
Timothy tried reaching out to Alyssa, but his hand was slapped away from her direction.
Ella told the boy that he had nothing to do with his mom, and that was it.
Timothy looked really sad, and even though all his good toys were right in front of him, his full attention was just on his mother.
Ella said that she wanted to go back inside to get some snacks, and she asked Liam to follow her, since he was already being sweet to her.
She didn’t know that Liam was just using her to make Malo jealous, and it was nothing deeper than that.
“I’ll stay here, and wait for you, baby.” Liam said, and he winked at Ella. That made her smile, and she left to get more snacks.
When she left, Liam instantly faced forward, and he started acting like Alyssa wasn’t even there at all.
Seeing that nobody was paying attention to him, and Ella wasn’t even around to scold him, Timothy stood up from the blanket, and he went to meet Alyssa.
Alyssa smiled at him, and she bent down to hug him properly. When she bent down and hugged him, she suddenly felt him dragged away from her by someone. Liam.
He gave her a really deadly glare, and he commanded Timothy to go and meet his ‘mom’ inside the house.
Alyssa waited for the boy to leave, before she stood straight.
“Tell me you didn’t just tell my son to go and meet his ‘mom’ ” She said, and frowned at Liam. Him calling Ella Timothy’s mum tingled something inside her, and she feared that it wasn’t something good at all.
“I did. What are you going to do about it? It’s not like you’re a good mom anyway.” Liam said, and he started walking towards her.
He continued walking until the distance between them was completely closed. Any movement from the both of them, would definitely make their lips touch.
“What are you going to do about it, Alyssa?” Liam asked again, but this time, his voice had a flirtatious flair to it.
Alyssa wanted to push him away from her, she really wanted to, but she just couldn’t.
When Liam placed his fingers under her jaw to raise her head to face him, she just couldn’t take it.
She stood on her toes, and she kissed him.
Yes, Alyssa kissed Liam!
She was expecting him to push her away, but he didn’t. His hands rested against her waist, pushing her closer to him instead.
Alyssa saw that as a sign that he wanted her too, and she cupped his face.
The both of them continued kissing each other with so much hunger.
Alyssa was about to tell him how much she missed him, when someone snapped his fingers in front of her. Liam.
“I asked a question.” He said, and Alyssa looked around in shock. She realized that she had been imagining the kiss with Liam, and he was still even frowning at her.
She touched her lips, and she felt how dry they were. She was about to say something, when Ella walked back to them.
Liam knew that Alyssa was angry at him, and he wanted to make her angrier. So, he called Ella to move closer to him, and he gave her a big hug.
Ella was really happy about that, and she just decided to do what she’s been dreaming of doing.
Yes, she stood on her toes and kissed him.
Alyssa watches on in shock at the scene before her. She had finally gotten confirmation that Liam truly didn’t care about her anymore, and even though he’d pulled away and given Ella an awkward look, she could see the joy written on his face.
He truly was in love with Ella. She thought.
Alyssa left the picnic on time and went to her room, her heart truly broken.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Timothy on the other hand, complained to Liam of being tired and cried that he wanted Alyssa as he’s tired of the game. Liam tried to pacify him, but he’s inconsolable.
Eventually, he fell asleep from fatigue and Liam carried him to his room, leaving Ella outside to head back alone.
Even though the moment Alyssa went inside, Liam started acting really mean to her, Ella was still happy that she was able to kiss him.
She just knew that Liam loved her, but he was just pretending to hate her because of Alyssa.
“I’ll get my man back.” She said to herself, before she started packing the things back inside.
