No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 426 - 424 I Want to Sleep [4th Update]

That old lady’s little scheme, how could Seven not understand? She would work on her relationship with Liam and Xavier, and when things got tough, she would also seek Liam for help. However, as for marrying Christopher, Seven never considered it. The harm that man caused her, she would remember for a lifetime and never forgive.

So, she raised her right hand, holding Madam Murray’s hand, and calmly said, "Mom, I will get along with Liam and the others, and I won’t let you and Dad down. But as for Christopher, please don’t bring it up again. I won’t marry him; what we had is in the past."

Although Seven was abroad, she still had some understanding of Christopher. During the years she wasn’t around, Christopher didn’t laze about. He was always partying, and scandals were everywhere. Every time she saw these news stories, she could only sneer.

She became more and more disappointed with Christopher until she completely gave up, not knowing that Christopher caused these things on purpose, just hoping she would rush back in anger, grab his ear, and confront him.

"Hey! Seven, don’t be stubborn. You’re 26, not too young. You should get married. Don’t let Mom pass away without seeing you marry and have children, or else Mom won’t die in peace."

"Oh, stop saying such things. You’ll live to a ripe old age and definitely see me marry and have kids. I’m not talking to you anymore—I’m tired from the long flight and still have a get-together tonight. I’m going to take a bath and sleep."

Every time Madam Murray brought up her marriage, she just found excuses to brush it off. She wanted to get married! Wanted to find someone to share her burdens, but couldn’t find the right person and couldn’t feel moved. She didn’t want to settle for someone either, or she would feel her life was wasted.

"Every time we talk about this, you evade. Seven, when will you give me a definite answer?" Madam Murray watched Seven’s departing figure, unhappy, thinking Seven is already 26, how long is she going to stay single!

"When fate comes, there will naturally be an answer." Seven waved her hand nonchalantly.

Then, she lazily returned to her long-abandoned bedroom, showered, and slept!

...

The hotel dinner in the afternoon, Maya stayed at home sleeping in, so Liam didn’t attend the banquet either.

At 9 PM, the Southern River Club under the Owen Clan was reserved by Aron Hanson. Close friends gathered at the club for nightlife, avoiding the usual wedding pranks.

The reason for the club gathering was because Aron didn’t want to deal with the hassle of wedding pranks. Getting married was already troublesome enough; he’d rather die than endure more pranks, so everyone gathered at the club.

But at 9 PM, Maya was still lazily lying on the bed, refusing to get up.

If it were someone else, Liam would find an excuse to get out of it. But one was Maya’s uncle, and the other her elder sister. Besides, that person promised in the restaurant at noon to be there for sure.

If Liam and Maya didn’t show up, everyone’s enthusiasm would be halved. Most people were coming for the third young master.

Liam looked at the sleeping Maya, unwilling to wake her, but Christopher just called saying everyone was at the club. So, he hardened his heart and disrupted Maya’s sweet dream.

By the big bed, Liam sat cross-legged on the bed, one leg on the floor, swinging back and forth, and shouted, "Maya, get up. Did you forget what you promised others at noon today?"

After a round of persuasion, Maya still showed no response, so Liam took a deep breath,

"Hmm..." At this time, Maya only frowned, clearly unhappy about being rudely awakened by someone.

Seeing her finally make a bit of noise, Liam immediately lay on her back, nibbling her ear, coaxing softly, "Maya, let’s go play for a while then come back to sleep, okay?"

"No, I’m so tired! My hand hurts, I don’t want to go." Maya began to throw a tantrum about getting up.

"Maya, you promised Sister Jane in person at noon today. Do you want to disappoint Uncle?"

"It’s all your fault. Who told you not to let me sleep in the afternoon? I’m tired, my hand hurts."

"Your hand hurts?" Liam saw her mention the hand pain again, immediately grabbed her left hand, and asked, "Is it this one?"

"Yeah!" Maya replied with a sob in her voice.

"How does it hurt?"

"I twisted it."

"Then let’s get up and see the doctor, okay?"

"No, I want to sleep."

Liam’s voice was extremely gentle, so gentle it could melt a person into a puddle, but Maya was drowsy and didn’t appreciate the sentiment.

Actually, Maya’s hand injury wasn’t serious. It was just from an incorrect sleeping position, twisting her wrist, but when Maya complained of discomfort, Liam got nervous and thought of taking her to the hospital.

"Shall we get up and apply some medicine?"

"No, I can apply it while sleeping." Maya was just being lazy, not wanting to go to the club anymore.

"Maya, get up quickly. We have to keep our word and come back after greeting everyone." Liam said, picking her up from the bed.

At this point, Maya’s awareness became clearer. She remembered her promise to Sister Jane, so she didn’t make a fuss or fall back into bed. She just half-squinted, pouting to show her displeasure, letting Liam dress her, even assisting her with her underwear.

Now in mid-October, the weather was a bit cool. After dressing her in a lemon-yellow dress, Liam added a long white coat, making the already pink Maya look even more pink.

After putting on the clothes, Liam ruffled her long black hair into a simple ponytail, matching Maya’s outfit perfectly.

However, while Liam finished dressing her and tying her hair, she was still dozing off in his arms.

Helplessly, Liam had to lead her to the bathroom, making her stand in front of the sink. He stood behind her, holding her, with his right hand guiding her right hand to brush her teeth. Actually, by this time, Maya was already awake, but she just wanted to see how well Liam took care of her, and how doting he was, so she simply pretended to sleep, not opening her eyes.

Finally, after Liam wiped her face twice with a damp towel, she lazily ordered, "The moisturizer hasn’t been applied."

Liam listened to her command and immediately dabbed a layer of moisturizer on her face before pulling her away.

In the car, Maya continued to fake sleep with her eyes closed. But thinking of how Liam took care of her like a child just now made her feel great, and she couldn’t help but chuckle.

In the driver’s seat, seeing her sneaky smile, Liam’s lips curled into a brilliant smile as well, shaking his head.
