Her fingertips trembled slightly as her gaze unconsciously fell on the contents of the book.
“Today at the banquet, my third uncle publicly scolded me for being a motherless wild child. I tried to argue back but ended up being scolded by my father. I cried alone in the garden for a long time, and even the passing servants dared not approach me. Only one girl quietly handed me a piece of candy. I talked with her all night, and suddenly felt that life wasn’t so bad after all. – March 20, 2015.”
“When I woke up today, I wanted to find that girl again, but I heard that her family had moved to New York… I kind of miss her, I want to go find her. – March 21, 2015.”
“The elders in the family all disliked me, even my father hated me. I had to pretend to be a sickly person so that they would relax their guard against me. After dealing with these annoying guys, I want to take a trip to New York. 2016.2.21.”
“I finally got some news about that girl, her name is Maya, such a beautiful name. I went to New York and secretly took a glance at her from a distance, she still looks as beautiful as before. But… there was already another man standing by her side. – July 11, 2023.”
“That man actually dared to treat her like that, I was so angry, I wanted to take her away immediately! – 2024.09.15”

The diary spans ten years, with every sentence written by Maya.
Maya suddenly remembered Liam’s restrained and suppressed sigh.
It turns out that the love that had been suppressed for so many years.
The next morning, Liam opened his eyes and saw Maya sitting by his bed, never having left all night.
She sat there in silence, without any expression on her face.
Fragments of memories from last night kept coming back to his mind, causing his expression to change suddenly.
“Sorry, I yesterday…”
Maya interrupted with a cold laugh, “Are you hiding something from me?”
Liam couldn’t think of anything, but he panicked subconsciously: “Did I say something stupid when I was drunk yesterday? If I accidentally said something wrong, I apologize to you.”
In his daily dealings in the business world with those cunning old foxes, Liam, who usually had a quick response, was surprisingly at a loss when faced with this situation.
Maya suddenly laughed.

Liam became even more anxious.
He had talked about so many projects, but when it came to wooing women, he had no experience at all.
Looking at the person in front of her, Maya was silent for a while, then smiled even more: “I was just teasing you, you didn’t say anything wrong last night.”
Liam had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Maya continue, “But I looked at your diary last night, so I should be the one
apologizing to you. I shouldn’t have read your diary without your permission.”
The heart that had just fallen down rose again, Liam’s head buzzed, and he looked cautiously at Maya.
Unexpectedly, their eyes met directly. Maya didn’t look away, but instead met his gaze head-on.
She lowered her eyes.
“Liam, thank you for liking me.”
On the other side, Owen on the plane woke up from his dream once again, still shouting “Maya” in his mouth.
The assistant watched helplessly and sighed.
In the past, Maya gave Owen so many chances and shed so many tears for him, but she couldn’t soften his heart,
Maya no longer wanted his love, but he went crazy.

But was it really in time?
After getting off the plane, Owen went to customize a bouquet of hand flowers made of expensive jewelry, and bought Maya’s favorite pastries.
After finishing all this, he also received the latest news from the stand- in company – Liam and Maya were invited to attend a banquet.
He sent him a video.
In the video, Maya held Liam’s wrist and smiled brightly, the two of them were affectionate and whispered to each other from time to time.
Liam also tenderly arranged her sideburns, and when their fingertips touched, Maya shyly lowered her head, her cheeks blushing.
They were no different from any other couple in love.
Owen’s face darkened suddenly, and he gripped the phone so tightly that he almost crushed it.
He hadn’t seen Maya smile like that for a long time.
Bright and sunny, as if there was only the man beside her in her eyes.
An uncontrollable anger surged in Owen’s chest, and he immediately got into the car and drove towards the location without stopping.
When he arrived, the bodyguard stopped him at the door. He kicked it open and said, “Get out!”
When he pushed open the door, he saw Maya and Liam standing in the center of the crowd. From behind, the distance between the two of

them was so close that it looked like they were kissing.
The heart seemed to have been hit hard by something, and C rushed up regardless.
“Maya!”
