about his affairs?
‘And he’s only now asking Liam to join them for dinner. He’s so
insincere.’
Under the table, Liam held onto Blake’s hand the whole time. She
could feel his hands trembling slightly. She knew he must be feeling
uncomfortable.
Liam and Julian were not friendly to each other as soon as
Julian furiously slammed his hand on the table. “You didn’t have
attitude when you were begging me back then. Is this how you talk to
your own father now?”
Liam did not respond.
Lylia forced a laugh and immediately eased the tension, saying, “All right, you two finally got to see
each other, don’t be angry. I’ll have th waiter bring in the dishes.”
When all the dishes were served, Lylia noticed Ixia had secretly glanced at Liam several times. She
realized something and said with a smile, “Silly girl, what are you staring at? Why not take some food
and put it on Liam’s plate?”
Liam, peeling shrimp, declined without looking up, “No need.” After peeling it, he put it on Blake’s plate.
“Eat it, I’ve washed my hands.”
Blake replied, “How did you know I like shrimp? Nice job, here’s a thumbs up.” She then raised her
thumb.
Liam finally smiled. “Okay.”
Ixia said, “Liam, try this too. I love the food from this place the most.”

In the blink of an eye, Liam’s expression changed as he looked at the barbecue ribs on his plate. He
did not look displeased, but his eyes
were filled with coldness.
Blake said, “Ixia, sorry, but Liam doesn’t like this dish.”
Ixia responded, “Liam, what do you like then? I’ll take it for you.”
Blake felt uncomfortable hearing Ixia’s high-pitched voice. ‘Is this the same person who didn’t want
Liam around her? Now, it seems like
she’s infatuated with him.’
Liam just ignored Ixia and asked Blake, “Are you full?”
He nonchalantly wiped his hands with a napkin.

Lylia smiled. “Leaving so soon? There’s still so much food left.”
Julian said, “Wait, I have something to say to you.”
Liam replied, “If you want to ask me to move back in with you, y can forget it. I have my own life now.
This will be our last time meeting. We won’t cross paths again.” Liam’s words were cold and decisive,
leaving no room for negotiation.
Liam helped Blake take the coat draped over the back of the chair. Everyone stood up. Blake looked at
them with a hesitant expression. When she and Liam reached the door of the private room, she
stopped walking, turned around to the other three people in the room, and said, “You three, when
talking bad about someone behind their back, it’d be best to keep your voices down from now on.
You’re adults, and it’s shocking how careless you all are.”
Before Blake left, she even made a disdainful expression at them.
Liam smiled as he patted Blake’s head, and the two left the hotel.
Liam sat in the driver’s seat, and at that moment, he received a long
text message on his phone.
Julian texted: [Liam, I know I’ve wronged you. I shouldn’t have
abandoned you back then, but I had my own difficulties at that time. Now, I have the ability to protect
you. If you come back to me, everything the Xander family owns will be yours. Consider it as my
compensation. Ixia is considered family. She’s still young. Once she reaches the legal age to get
married, I’ll witness you two get married,

and I’ll have no regrets.

[I’ve investigated your girlfriend’s background. Her background is
complicated. But in short, this kind of woman isn’t suitable for you.]
Blake observed Liam’s expression. “What’s wrong? Did that jerk send you a message that made you
angry? Do you need me to teach him
lesson?” She rarely saw such a vulnerable side of Liam. Even thou
he was smiling at her now, she knew deep down he was feeling hur
Liam came back to his senses. He gripped the steering wheel tightly
and said, “I-I’m fine.
“Sorry about today. I’m sorry you had to witness such an
embarrassing scene.”
Blake responded, “It’s okay. Everyone has things they can’t let go of.
But, Liam, do you know? I’m actually very happy that you consider m
a true friend. You’ve behaved very well in front of them!
“You’re truly outstanding. I admire you a lot. You’ve been famous since you were a teenager. And now,
you’ve already sold so many copyrights for your books. You’ve achieved so much, so don’t feel
pressured and don’t think you’re not good enough. To everyone, you’re the best! You know how many
girls in the company are head over
heels for you, right?!”
Blake’s response was long. Suddenly, Liam leaned over to hug Blake,
which caught her off guard.
Liam embraced her very tightly. “Blake… Now, you’re the only person I
have.”
Blake wanted to hug his arms, but she slowly put her hands down
Chapter 1180
when she thought about another person.
Liam drove away. When Blake saw the subway station ahead, she
asked him to stop.
“Just stop here,” she said.
Liam asked, “You’re not going back?”

Blake shook her head. “I’m not going back right now. I need to go buy
something.”
“I can drive you,” Liam offered.
Blake replied, “It’s fine! I just want to stop by to see him. I don’t know
if he’s back, and I want to get him something on the way.”
Liam tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “All right.”
Blake knew that bringing up Kevin now would make Liam feel
uncomfortable, but it was unavoidable.
Liam watched Blake get out of the car, and he kept staring at her
through the rearview mirror until she slowly disappeared from his sight. He still did not drive the car
away long after she had left.
Then, the sky started slowly raining heavily, cleansing everything in its
path.
Pedestrians, caught off guard by this sudden downpour, scattered to
seek shelter.
