Chapter 1477 Overkill

Maya went out of Imperial Garden with Wilbur. His attentiveness toward her was unparallel. Even when she was getting into the car, he made sure that she would not hit her head.

To Wilbur, his action was a display of affection. However, in Maya’s eyes, it was overkill.

“You don’t have to do this. I’m not a child.”

“Girls love to be protected and taken care of. You must be quite used to this.”

Maya was speechless for a moment.

After some thoughts, she said, “When there is danger, men should indeed protect women. But your so-called protection seems unnecessary to me. The way I see it, it looks more like a stunt that a guy pulls to win a girl’s heart, and it doesn’t appeal to me.”

Looking at Wilbur, she continued, “Y-You… Let me tell you something. I don’t need a boyfriend. Stop wasting your time and effort on me.”

Wilbur was silent.

Just because you don’t need me now doesn’t mean you won’t need me in the future. I am confident that you will get used to this.

Unless they have no one to rely on, this is the nature of girls to rely on others, If they have, they will eventually get used to it.

Wilbur had no intention of arguing with Maya. “Fine then. Since you don’t like it, I won’t behave in this manner the next time. I won’t treat other girls this way too. Such special treatment is only for you and you alone!”

There was no response from Maya though she found his statement odd.

You should treat other girls like this, just not me! I don’t need such treatment!

Maya rolled her eyes and turned to look at Wilbur. She suddenly noticed the ravenous way he was looking at her. It reminded her of the way she used to eye huge chicken drumsticks when she was younger.

Holy crap! Is that what he thinks of me? Something to be devoured? It looks like I have to be careful around this guy. For all I know, he is just as wicked as Chris!

She turned her head away. “So, shall we drive off?”

“Sure!”

As the car started to move off, Maya turned and glanced at Wilbur again. Going out with guys had always felt weird to her.

Both my sister and I are so different. Nina has matured so much earlier and experienced a romantic relationship. She has suffered as a result of it. She was a tragic sight to behold after she was dumped.

As for me, it’s a different story. Even until now, I have no wish of getting attached.

If Nina and I don’t have such extreme personalities, we might end up with different kinds of lives.

It’s a pity, though. There isn’t much anyone can do about that!

“Where are we going?”

Wilbur’s abrupt question interrupted her thoughts.

She came back to her senses and answered, “I have no idea. My mommy left the hospital after receiving a call. We lost track of her once she got to Willow Street. Why don’t we go there and search for her?”

“O-Okay…”

Wilbur sped toward Willow Street.

“Do you think my mommy has been kidnapped? If so, what do they want?”

If they want money or something else, then they would be using Mommy as a bargaining chip to get it. But, so far, there is no news of her.

No, more specifically…

Wilbur knew what she was thinking. He looked at Maya and consoled her, “Don’t worry. Your mommy has helped countless patients. She is a good person. Nothing bad will happen to her.”

“As long as my mommy is safe and sound, I am willing to do anything! I am even willing to exchange my life for hers!”

“Are you very close with your mommy?” asked Wilbur softly.

Maya nodded. “Yes. My mommy gave birth to me and takes good care of me. She dotes on me a lot.”
