Chapter 180 - 178 Can’t Get Enough of It [3 More Updates]
Maya Spencer never expected that, after 3 years, he would become so untamed!
She still remembers how innocent Henry Reid was back then; every time she thinks of him stepping up to admit he was the child’s father, her heart aches.
She hates the feeling of owing someone, and yet she owes him so much that she can’t repay.
The change in Henry Reid deeply affected Maya Spencer. She thought, if she hadn’t been so heartless back then, would he still be the same Henry Reid?
Although he’s smiling, Maya doesn’t see happiness in his eyes.
"Young Master Reid, that woman has been looking at you all this time." The woman embraced by Henry Reid accidentally noticed Maya Spencer.
Upon hearing the woman’s reminder, Henry Reid turned around for a look. Their eyes met, and Maya immediately avoided them, pretending not to see him.
Watching her evasive gaze, Henry smirked mischievously, turned around, and walked slowly toward her.
Seeing Henry Reid leave, the female celebrity immediately followed him, holding his arm, seemingly to declare her sovereignty.
Maya watched as Henry Reid approached her, and stood up to leave, but he got there first, blocking her path.
Blocking Maya’s escape, he reached out his right hand to lift her chin and sneered, "Oh! Who is this? Isn’t it Miss Hanson?"
Henry Reid’s sarcastic tone made Maya uncomfortable, though it wasn’t the first time he spoke to her so cynically.
"Young Master Reid, do you know each other?" The female celebrity tightened her grip on Henry upon discovering they knew each other.
"Mr. Reid, long time no see!" Maya responded to Henry Reid’s sardonic greeting by firmly removing his hand from her chin and greeting him back.
After Maya removed his hand, Henry gently clenched it, suspended it in the air without a place to rest, yet continued mocking, "It’s rare, Miss Hanson still remembers this young master."
Bumping into Maya was unexpected for him; he vividly recalls how he repeatedly begged her to give him a chance, even offering to be the child’s father, only to be rejected outright.
For Henry Reid, this was without a doubt the greatest humiliation of his life.
Meeting again, looking at her still cold little face, he found his past actions ridiculously amusing.
Seeing Henry Reid’s unfriendly demeanor, Maya took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Mr. Reid, I have other matters, so I won’t bother you."
While speaking, Maya glanced at the woman clinging to Henry Reid. The woman was glamorous, not matching her impression of him.
But... the Henry Reid before her seemed a fitting match, and they appeared to be birds of a feather.
Seeing Maya about to leave, Henry immediately extended his long arm, drawing her into his embrace with banter, "Since Miss Hanson is alone, I’d quite like to spend some time with you."
Henry Reid spoke as he pushed away the female celebrity clinging to him; comparatively, he was more interested in Maya.
There’s a saying that women don’t love good men. Now he’s become bad enough; he wants to see if she might like this version of him after 3 years.
"Henry Reid, have some decency." Maya grabbed his wrist in an attempt to push him away but was powerless.
Henry Reid’s love has always been self-serving, now it’s learned to be domineering, yet such domination makes Maya loathe him even more.
The man heard her warning and couldn’t help but raise a corner of his mouth to coldly laugh.
Then, he leaned down to kiss her earlobe, saying, "Doesn’t Miss Hanson love forced conquest the most?"
He remembers pretending to be in a coma in the hospital, when Liam Spencer coerced her, and she cried out, begging him to handle her later.
That moment with Maya, he remembers clearly; strictly speaking, he recalls Maya vividly at any time and place.
"Young Master Reid..." The female celebrity, pushed aside by Henry, watching him wrap Maya in his arms, felt supremely aggrieved, her small mouth pouting enough to hang an oil bottle, yet Henry paid her no mind.
Listening to the man’s taunts, Maya turned her head, looked directly into his eyes, as if asking him if this is truly how he wants to interact.
The man looked at Maya’s familiar gaze, smirked, and leaned toward her mouth intending to kiss her.
Despite his current disgust for Maya, every time he recalls her heartlessness towards him, he feels an urge to strangle her.
Yet her pretty little face, he can never tire of looking at, he wants to taste her, to see what’s so good about her that even Liam Spencer surrendered.
Watching Henry Reid’s lips draw closer, seeing his unrestrained smile, seeing his utter lack of respect for her, Maya held her breath, grasped Henry’s arm, and abruptly flipped him over her shoulder to the ground.
Everyone was caught off guard by Maya’s skills, so neither Liam Spencer nor Henry Reid was prepared.
Henry, floored, was instantly dumbfounded, seeing Maya’s eyes full of disdain, he was furious.
He couldn’t comprehend why this woman always acts so untouchable and superior.
He was even curious how Liam Spencer managed to sleep with her, whether she had that disgusted face even in bed.
After flooring Henry Reid, Maya glared at him dismissively.
Instantly, the pair became the center of attention at the party, as reporters and the crowd gathered to watch.
"Miss Hanson, what is your relationship with Young Master Reid, and why would you strike him in public?"
"Mr. Reid, did you do something inappropriate to Young Miss Hanson that led her to use violence?"
"..."
The reporter’s questions greatly displeased Maya; she hadn’t expected her return to be defined by violence.
Hearing the reporter’s questions, Henry glanced at Maya, casually got up from the ground, indifferently explaining, "Who said Miss Hanson used violence on me? I simply slipped and couldn’t stand, Miss Hanson just couldn’t catch me."
After addressing the reporters, Henry mischievously winked at Maya and asked, "Right! Miss Hanson?"
Maya looked into Henry Reid’s eyes, took a deep breath, turned to the reporters, nodded, and said, "Yes!"
"Maya, are you hurt?" Suddenly, a young boy rushed out from the crowd, grabbing Maya’s wrist, inspecting her carefully, asking if she was injured.
"No! I’m fine!" Maya smiled to comfort him, seeing the boy’s anxious expression.
Nearby, Henry watched the scene unfold, waved to send the reporters away, frowned, and squinted, observing the two closely.
The boy was cheerful, delicate, good-looking, and seemed very comfortable.
Watching him care for Maya, Henry couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth, coldly laughing, realizing that Maya likes this type.
Thus, he acidly remarked, "So Miss Hanson likes pretty boys, no wonder neither I nor Third Master catch your eye."
