The CEO’s Wife Is A Demon God’s Daughter

Chapter 756 - Liam's Dilemma



Two days later, Mheera returned to Leo's villa alone. Liam had been looking for her but he couldn't get in touch with her. 

However, he was also grateful that Mheera had been away for the past few days. Because of that, he was able to hide Zu Wan's real identity from her.

"Where have you been? I thought you already went back to the other world." Liam asked Mheera. 

He noticed something about her. She looked like she was troubled by something. Was it related to him or the demon god?

"I just tried roaming around somewhere. You know I am curious as to why you chose to stay here rather than coming back to our world."

Liam fell silent because of Mheera's remarks. He could somehow sense that Mheera was still against his decision of staying in this world.

"Mheera, here we go again. I already told you that it's my choice. Can't you just respect my decision?" 

Mheera clenched her fists. She wanted to tell him that they needed him. She needed him. She didn't want to be apart from him once again.

"Then let me stay here also. Respect my decision. Don't push me away. Why are you sending me back to our world if I chose to stay here with you?" Mheera was firm and stubborn.

Liam could no longer argue with her. 'Is coming back with Mheera the only way to protect Zhen-Zhen and her father?'

Liam was aware that Zu Wan was no match to Mheera as of now. He didn't have any power. So it would be dangerous if Mheera would find out about his existence.

Zhen-Zhen was pregnant so it was not advisable for her to get into a fight. Mheera already disobeyed his order before. She could do it again if ever she would learn about Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan.

Liam was put in a dilemma once again. He needed more time to think. Without saying a word, Liam turned around to leave. But Mheera stopped him by holding his elbow.

"Liam, are you mad at me?"

Liam glanced at Mheera with complicated emotions on his face. He was not mad at her but he hated it when Mheera was acting stubbornly.

"Do you know why I am acting like this?" she added, not breaking their eye contact.

"I feel like you have already changed so much. You are no longer the person whom I knew before. What happened Liam?"

"I didn't change Mheera. I just understand some things after staying here. Our ideals before… it's so wrong for us to assume that even an innocent child could bring chaos to our world. We shouldn't judge them…"

"Why are you defending them now, Liam? Did you lie? Is the demon god's daughter still alive? You didn't kill her, did you?" Mheera's grip on his elbow tightened.

Liam remained silent. He didn't respond to her. If Mheera was already doubting him then he believed that she would not leave this world until she confirmed it.

Liam started to worry, wondering how he could convince Mheera that Zhen-Zhen and Zu Wan would no longer pose a threat to humans and to their world.

He was not yet ready to tell her the truth. He needed more time to figure out what was the right thing to do.

"Mheera, let's not talk about this right now. Go and take a rest. I know you are tired." Liam tried to dismiss her, avoiding the topic.

Mheera finally released Liam's hand as she turned around to leave Liam. He just watched her back, walking away from him.

Liam was still lost in his thoughts when he felt a hand tapping his shoulder. Leo was already standing beside him.

"A penny for your thoughts, my bro?" Leo said, smiling at Liam. "Let's go somewhere and have a friendly conversation."

Liam exhaled deeply before nodding his head in agreement. Soon, the two men took shelter under the big old tree. They sat down on the grass while looking at the green fields in front of them.

"Did you argue with Mheera?" Leo spoke up first.

"Yes… a minor argument, I guess," Liam told Leo about the arguments he had with Mheera.

"Hmm, I understand why Mheera is acting like that." 

Liam glanced at Leo, wondering whether he was serious or not. "Are you sure? When did you become an expert in understanding women's feelings?" Liam decided to tease his friend.

Leo clicked his tongue while shaking his head. "You are really clueless, Liam. Can't you feel it? Mheera likes you! She followed you here because she wanted to see you. She missed you. She wants you to come with her back to your world because she doesn't want to be separated from you again!"

Liam: "..."

He had never imagined such a thing. Mheera and he were just friends. He thought they were just comrades, caring about each other.

"See, you are clueless, that's why you can't understand her feelings. Just try to put yourself in her shoes." Leo patted Liam's shoulder.

"But… I don't have feelings for her. I love someone else…" Liam admitted to Leo.

'I am willing to wait… until she notices and accepts my feelings…' Liam thought to himself.

He hadn't given up the idea of being with Zhen-Zhen in the future. He believed that Tristan's lifespan was very short compared to them. He might be insanely in love, thinking this way. But he couldn't leave Zhen-Zhen. He felt content just watching her from afar.

But he was now in a dilemma. It seemed that going back to their world together with Mheera was the only way he could do, making sure that Zhen-Zhen's and Mheera's paths would not cross.

But he was still hesitating to do that. He wanted to stay in this world.

"Liam… are you okay? You are lost in your thoughts again. Just be honest with Mheera. Talk to her with sincerity and she might understand you."

"Let me think about this first," Liam meekly responded.

Little did he know, the more he delayed things the more Mheera would learn the truth soon. Her comrades were already on the move, searching for Zhen-Zhen.. It's just a matter of time, Shino would confirm that Zhen-Zhen was still alive, not dead.
