No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 558 - 556: I Have Three Brothers [3rd Update]
Edward Spencer remembered there was one still in jail, another in the asylum, and only hated himself for not dying, for having survived.
He thought, if Hannah hadn’t exaggerated his condition, those three wouldn’t have come to see him, would they?
Noah Owen looked at Old Master Spencer’s helpless expression, took a deep breath, and nonchalantly scolded, "You’re already 50 years old, how can you still be so troublesome? Don’t you know you’re going to be a grandfather? Or do you not want to hold your grandson?"
Edward was stunned by Noah’s reproach. He didn’t expect Noah to talk to him like that, to say he was going to be a grandfather. He stared wide-eyed at Noah, and his eyes reddened.
"Uncle, Zoe is also pregnant, the house is going to get lively. You should take care of your health, or you won’t be able to handle the kids’ noise." Kinsley Spencer always had a mild personality despite his conflicts with Jane Spencer.
But when it comes to family, he is much more emotional than Jane Spencer.
"Dad, take good care of your health. Brother Three and I are getting married next year, and we hope you can attend." Maya Spencer looked at the sickly man on the bed, couldn’t get angry at all, and anyway, there was nothing to be mad about. She was not Edward’s biological child, but he raised her, and after her mother passed away, he brought her back to the Spencer Family.
On the hospital bed, Old Master Spencer looked at the understanding behavior of his two daughters, held his breath, and immediately turned to the side, saying weakly, "I’m tired, you guys leave!"
Seeing this, Hannah hastily explained, "You go ahead with your business, I’ll watch over here. If there’s any situation, I’ll call you."
Everyone saw that Old Master Spencer was not in high spirits and didn’t stay long, all leaving, only leaving Hannah there.
After sending everyone out of the ward, Hannah quickly caught up with Maya and Noah, cautiously saying, "Maya, Noah, you see, Elia..."
She didn’t have the heart to continue the sentence.
Noah and Maya exchanged a glance, and Maya said, "When Elia’s emotions calm down, the hospital will naturally release her home."
"Yes, yes! She’s much better now and won’t cause trouble in the future, I promise you."
"Got it." Maya did a quick calculation, realizing that Noah was nearly six months pregnant, and Elia had been detained for more than five months. She thought it best to wait until Noah had her baby, to avoid Elia causing more trouble. It would be fine to agree with Hannah for now, just to reassure her.
Hannah received Maya’s promise and nodded repeatedly, assuring them that she would take good care of Old Master Spencer so they could rest easy. Then she returned to the hospital room.
In the hospital room, Hannah gave Old Master Spencer a gentle shove, saying, "If you want to cry, just cry! Noah and Maya are indeed sensible. I admit, I’m not as good at raising kids as Madelyn Hanson or Charlotte Owen."
"Maya and Noah just promised they’d get Elia out, so stop stressing. The kids don’t blame you."
Old Master Spencer listened to Hannah’s comforting words, lying sideways on the bed in contemplation. He’s lived most of his life in a haze, and he never expected the child Charlotte Owen raised would be the most understanding. He pitied himself for not giving proper guidance to the two kids he kept by his side, and nothing could make up for the regrets.
Only now did he understand that when Liam was younger, he always felt he didn’t resemble him, it turned out he was like Charlotte Owen, born to Charlotte Owen.
Thinking about these decades of farce, Edward Spencer helplessly shook his head, having nothing to say to himself.
...
In Liam’s car, Maya cautiously asked, "Brother Three, are you still angry? Angry at Aunt Charlotte and the others."
Liam listened to Maya’s question, let out two cold laughs, and nonchalantly said, "Why should I be angry? Those who gave birth to me are living just fine, what is there to be mad about?"
Clearly, there was still some discontent in his words.
"Brother Three, you still have me, don’t be unhappy!"
"Little thing, I’m really fine, it’s you who’s suddenly become sentimental." Maya’s earlier ’Dad’ had startled Liam.
"I’m not, anyway, he raised me, I’ve called him that so many times, one more time doesn’t make a difference, just to comfort him." Maya had softened compared to before.
"Maya, do you want to find your biological father?" Liam took the opportunity to probe.
"No, he hasn’t come looking for me, why should I look for him? Besides, he might not even know I exist." There was still some resentment in Maya’s words.
"What if one day, your biological father appears, what will you do?"
"I’m already so grown, do I still need a dad?" Speaking of her biological father, Maya turned into a little hedgehog again.
To avoid the topic, she quickly hugged Liam’s arm and pouted, "I have Brother Three, an uncle, and Ella, Christopher Scott, and the others, I’m not lacking anything."
"Hmm!" Liam planted a kiss on Maya’s forehead, thinking, thankfully he stopped James Bennett earlier.
Otherwise, he couldn’t begin to imagine the sight of Maya having a breakdown.
When Liam dropped Maya back home, it was two-thirty in the afternoon. After coaxing her to sleep, he rushed back to the company for a meeting and only returned home again by six in the evening.
What frustrated him was that Christopher Scott’s work efficiency had noticeably declined these days and his mind seemed elsewhere during meetings.
Liam knew Christopher was affected by Seven Murray and Ian Hobbs. Regardless, he still scolded Christopher, telling him to sort out his personal affairs quickly and focus on work.
In the living room, seeing Liam’s heavy expression, Maya quickly went up to him and cautiously asked, "Brother Three, what’s wrong?"
"Nothing!" Liam raised his right hand, loosening his tie and feigned calmness.
Seeing this, Maya immediately tiptoed, helped him remove his tie, and handed it to a maid nearby.
Liam watched Maya’s obedient and sensible behavior, gently cradled her waist with his hands, and planted a kiss on her cheek.
Then he said calmly, "Ian is inviting us for dinner tomorrow night, probably to set things with Seven."
Upon hearing that things were decided between Seven Murray and Ian Hobbs, Maya frowned, her mind involuntarily drifting to Christopher Scott. She thought that guy must be feeling bad, right?
So, she took a deep breath in exasperation and said, "What about Christopher? The other day when I saw him at Seven’s new shop, he seemed very down." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"He has to get through it. Once Seven is married, he’ll come to his senses."
Maya listened to Liam’s analysis, frowning with deep skepticism, "Do you think he might end up like Chairman Bennett, never getting married?"
"You’re overthinking it, Christopher won’t." Liam was very sure once Seven stabilized and found happiness, Christopher would sort things out.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office at Scott Clan Group.
Christopher Scott gripped his phone, biting his lower lip tightly, thinking of the tenderness Seven showed to Ian. Christopher placed the phone back on the table.
He exhaled deeply, leaned back in his chair, and vigorously rubbed his cheeks with both hands, manifesting his helplessness.
He regretted agreeing to a year-long pact with Seven. Had he known Seven would meet Ian, he’d never have made that pact even if he were beaten to death.
