Villain’s Favorite 142

 

Chapter 142 Playing Innocent 

As it turned out, these two were acting all clingy and sticking so close together. 

That boy was hanging all over Maya, looking like he wanted to merge right into her. 

Alfred didn’t notice the subtle tension in the air. 

He instinctively stepped forward. 

Alfred didn’t know how to read the room at all. To him, it wouldn’t matter even if the sky fell down. 

Because of that, why they were crying or what they were doing didn’t matter. 

What mattered was that he didn’t want them hugging like this anymore. 

So, Alfred walked up to them and stood still.

Lawrence reacted quickly. His tears stopped almost at once, and that pitiful look disappeared from his face. He turned his head and glanced at Alfred. 

Then he decisively ignored him and locked his gaze on Toby. 

Compared to Alfred, who was easy to understand and straightforward in a weird way, the one who made him uneasy was the person at the door. 

Of course, Lawrence knew who Toby was. 

This person was basically unreasonable. 

In their past life at Harmony International School, something must have happened, or someone must have annoyed him. 

This young man never bottled things up. He took several guns and made his unlucky classmates experience a real-life version of shooting games. 

No one knew how many students died, but at least he had his fun shooting. 

He was a psycho, a madman. 

And right now, that person was standing at the door, those pitch-black eyes staring right at him. 

To be exact, he was staring at the way he was holding Maya. 

Lawrence instinctively tightened his arms, then lifted his head to look at Toby. 

His voice was low and soft, raspy from just crying. He pretended to be confused. “Who are you?” 

That act of playing dumb almost made Maya reach out and pinch his face. 

He was still pretending! 

His tears had already said everything, and yet he still wanted to act like he didn’t know her?

Chapter 142 Playing Innocent 

“You don’t recognize me?” Maya looked at him, her voice gentle. “You were hugging me and crying so hard, I thought I must have owed you something in a past life.” 

I thought I must have owed you something in a past life. 

Maya’s voice was light, like she was just saying it casually. 

Hearing those words suddenly, his heart skipped a beat. 

Past life. 

That words were like a needle, lightly pricking him. 

He lowered his gaze, his eyelashes casting a shadow to hide the flash of emotion in his eyes. Then he looked up and tried to explain in a soft voice. 

“I don’t know why I cried either. Maybe my eyes just wanted to shed tears. It has nothing to do with me.” The corners of his eyes drooped, making him look innocent, and his voice was soft and gentle. 

There was just the right amount of childish tone in his words. 

It fit the identity of a six-year-old child perfectly. 

But Maya didn’t believe his nonsense for a second. 

“Then let go of her.” Toby walked forward. For once, he didn’t impulsively use his hands. Instead, he watched the boy with a mocking look and said coldly, “You’re holding her too tight. Let go!” 

Lawrence didn’t move. 

He lifted his eyes and looked at the rude speaker. 

He wasn’t used to showing weakness to strangers. 

Years of being bullied made him instinctively hostile toward everyone. 

Even though his eyelashes were still wet with tears and his eyes were still red… 

That soft and innocent look from before was already gone. 

He looked at Toby coldly, not caring about his threat, then looked away and continued focusing on Maya. 

His voice turned soft again. “Maya, can I call you by your name?” 

Maya just watched him quietly act. 

She asked casually, “Why?” 

“Because…

Chapter 142 Playing Innocent 

Lawrence tilted his head with just the right amount of confusion. 

“I feel like you look a lot like my sister.” 

As he spoke, he formed a soft smile. 

He looked so well-behaved, soft, and harmless. 

“Don’t you think so?” he said softly. “We look very similar.” 

He leaned closer to her without realizing it. 

They were about the same height, with the same features, quietly looking at each other. 

Toby took a quick look and had to admit through gritted teeth. 

These two really did look alike. 

The boy’s features made him look innocent and pitiful. 

But when those eyes looked at him, everything changed instantly. 

All that soft innocence was cleared away in a second. 

Only a cold, calculating look remained. 

Toby’s eyes were also full of malice. He hated this kind of creepy kid, especially one looking at him like that. 

Plus, this person was Maya’s brother. 

That made it even more disgusting. 

“So, can I call you by your name?” 

Lawrence looked away and turned back to Maya. This time, he didn’t wait for her to answer before he started calling out quickly, “Maya, Maya, Maya… 

He didn’t need her reply at all. 

Maya was speechless. 

She had a thought. 

You’ve gotten a lot more shameless, you brat. 

He wasn’t like this in their past life. 

But Lawrence was also a little confused. 

How did she know his name? 

Was it the butterfly effect?
