No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 514 - 512: He Didn’t Seek Me [4th Update]

Liam listened to Maya’s comfort, tightly holding her hand, and said, "Big sister sent a copy of the test report to Grandpa. He couldn’t bear it and fainted, now he’s in the hospital."

"Why is big sister always stirring up trouble? Is she trying to have Grandpa take the fall for her? Out of all the kids, Grandpa loved her the most, how could she do this to him?" Maya was furious, although she didn’t like Grandpa, considering his age, Jane shouldn’t have provoked him.

"The person Grandpa loves the most is us."

"Huh?" Maya was a little confused, a bit lost.

"Grandpa announced your identity to give the company to you, but big sister found out in advance and threw you into the ocean to ruin things."

"To me?" Maya was even more confused.

Then, Liam explained Grandpa’s good intentions to her. Grandpa never disliked Maya; he didn’t treat her well openly because he didn’t want to cause her trouble or make everyone see her as an enemy.

From the moment Old Master Spencer first saw Maya, looking at her stubbornness in her eyes, he felt she could handle Liam, so he always pushed matters between the two.

Although he indeed used Maya to let Liam take over the company, his recognition of Maya cannot be denied. Even when Maya aborted Liam’s child three years ago, he was heartbroken but didn’t pursue the matter because he knew their fate was unbreakable and they would surely be together, so he didn’t dwell on it.

Maya listened to Liam’s report, seeing the hint of melancholy across his brows, she was momentarily lost, not knowing how to comfort Liam.

It wasn’t until the atmosphere had been tense for two or three minutes that she patted his hand, comforting, "Third brother, let’s go see Grandpa together tomorrow. He won’t dislike you just because you’re the child of Uncle and Aunt Charlotte. What he likes is you as a person, your smart mind, you know?"

Liam listened to the girl’s comfort, his lips curving into a radiant smile, raised his right hand, and rubbed her little face, saying, "Alright."

In truth, Liam didn’t really care whether Old Master Spencer liked him or not; he just didn’t want to have any more dealings with the Spencer Family, especially with Uncle and Charlotte Owen, facing his background.

What he couldn’t understand further was how Aunt could recklessly swap children. Did she really think it’s a competition among concubines for inheritance?

...

That night, Liam was sleepless, and so was Maya, who was nestled in his arms.

Since learning that Edward was not her father, Maya developed a distaste for the word father and never intended to search for the person who birthed her.

However, after hearing Liam’s story, she suddenly grew curious, curious about what kind of person her father actually was. What kind of past did she and her mother have? Why didn’t they form a family?

She also wanted to know if, over the years, he had looked for her. Did he know of her existence? Could she possibly have any half-siblings? If so, what would they look like?

The more she thought about these things, the more alert she became, unable to sleep, and she was even a bit impatient to know who that man might be.

She had been told since she was little that she didn’t very much resemble her mother, could it be that she resembled that unknown father? She genuinely wanted to know.

Liam listened to her uneven breathing, gently kissed her face, and asked, "It’s almost dawn, why haven’t you slept yet?"

"Thinking about things."

"What things?"

"Wondering what the person who gave birth to me is like? Why didn’t he give me a home?" Speaking of the word home, Maya felt a little sad.

Listening to the girl’s query, Liam slightly furrowed his brows and asked tentatively, "Maya, do you really want to know?"

"After hearing your story, I do want to know, but I’m also afraid to face it." Saying this, she quickly turned around, blinking her big eyes, staring at Liam, and said, "Third brother, don’t think I’m quite vicious and ruthless, deep down I’m quite fragile and can’t handle much."

"Last time, accidentally losing the baby, I was so heartbroken that I almost lost my life, I’m afraid that after knowing the truth, I won’t be able to control myself and would blame him."

Maya was becoming increasingly candid with Liam, not hiding her inner thoughts and character flaws.

"In reality, with some things, it’s better not to know the truth. Although we have the right to know, we also have the right not to know if the truth will make us unhappy. It might be better not to know." Liam feared that after knowing the truth, Maya wouldn’t be able to bear it; if she fell ill again, what would they do?

"Hmm, I’ll calm down for a while. This kind of thing isn’t that important. After all these years, he hasn’t looked for me; maybe I’m not that important either." In the end, Maya still minded that she didn’t have a complete family since she was young.

Listening to her sentimental words, Liam kissed her little face and said, "From now on, I am your family; I’ll look after you."

"Thank you, third brother."

"Silly, why say thank you?"

Listening to the man’s promise, Maya’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, she snuggled closer into his chest, but her mind was still preoccupied with the earlier matter.

On the following early morning, after getting up and tidying up, Liam drove Maya to the hospital.

On the road, Maya held Liam’s hands tightly, as if giving him courage, telling him not to be nervous.

When they reached the hospital, Old Master Spencer and Uncle were there, as were Kinsley and Zoe.

When Kinsley and Maya entered the ward, their eyes simultaneously fell first on Uncle.

On the hospital bed, Old Master Spencer, seeing their glance, knew that Liam had already learned about his background.

He took a deep breath and rolled his eyes at Uncle, as if scolding him for being foolish, not knowing about the child switch.

Then, he instructed, "The few of you who kept watch all night, go back first. Have Liam and Maya take the day shift."

The meaning in Old Master Spencer’s words was clear to everyone; he undoubtedly had something to say to Liam and Maya, so they all left.

As Uncle passed by Liam, his eyes inadvertently fell on him, just colliding with Liam’s sidelong glance. Liam nonchalantly withdrew his gaze, as if he didn’t know him at all.

With only three people left in the room, Old Master Spencer sighed deeply, helplessly saying, "It seems you know."

"Yes!" Liam calmly responded, his emotions much more settled than the previous day.

"This matter, you don’t need to feel awkward. It’s my fault; I failed as a father, running the Spencer Family into chaos, with two sons like that." Old Master Spencer was both angry and helpless.

Maya stood by, thinking that she’s glad Liam isn’t like that.

"Yes!" Liam casually nodded, seemingly quite agreeing with Old Master Spencer’s admission of failing as a father.
