No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 576 -s 573-574: I Am Sad [Update 1]
Liam held the girl in his arms, patting her back, coaxing her to sleep.
Maya nestled in Liam’s arms, the comfortable feeling lingered, she burrowed deeper, her lips pressed against his chest in a playful gesture.
Feeling the girl’s playful behavior, Liam bent down slightly and planted a kiss on her small face, softly calling her, "Little sweetheart."
The smile on Maya’s lips grew brighter, she clutched Liam’s hands with more strength.
She really wanted to have a child with Liam, a love child belonging to them.
Maya never imagined that one day she would fall hopelessly in love with her third brother.
If she had known earlier, she would have treasured the time three years ago and wouldn’t have let them miss those three years.
The two fell asleep embracing, the days that followed couldn’t have been happier.
The only thing that troubled Maya was Sophia Bennett, this person couldn’t find Christopher Scott and tangled with her, nearly driving her crazy.
To find peace, Maya had to sell out Christopher, telling Sophia that he was hiding with Owen Clan Group.
So, Christopher and Sophia played a game of cat and mouse, only Sophia was the cat, and Christopher was the mouse.
With Sophia troubling him, Christopher was extremely vexed, not even having time to grieve over his relationship with Seven Murray.
Until December 24th, the day before Christmas, and Seven’s engagement with Ian Hobbs, Christopher felt an intense panic, fearing he would miss Seven forever.
In the office, he took a deep breath, grabbed the phone, ready to call Seven, when suddenly Sophia pushed the door open, poking her head in, cheerfully calling, "Christopher!"
She had been chasing Christopher for 18 days, which was quite a long time.
Christopher looked at the girl at the door, his brow furrowed, his face full of disdain for Sophia.
After her days of relentless pursuit, Christopher was certain he grew increasingly annoyed with this girl, her presence irritated him, even provoking an urge to hit her.
However, he didn’t hold back, snatching up the remote control on the table, and with a "bang" threw it at the door, impatiently shouting, "Get out!"
Sophia was stunned; although she had faced unpleasant words and looks countless times during the chase, today Christopher was genuinely furious.
Sophia’s pride took a hit, and realizing tomorrow is Seven’s engagement day, she pursed her lips, feeling wronged and closed the door.
After Sophia left, Christopher took a deep breath and immediately dialed Seven’s number.
After Sophia left, Christopher took a deep breath and immediately dialed Seven’s number.
"Christopher, what’s up?" Seven calmly asked.
"Seven, we need to talk." He had been waiting for Seven’s call these days but never received it.
Seven heard Christopher’s words, pondered for a moment, and said, "Alright, see you at three this afternoon, I have plans tonight."
She didn’t tell Christopher she was accompanying Ian for Christmas Eve.
"Alright!" After hanging up, Christopher felt relieved, Seven agreeing to see him meant there was still a ray of hope, wanting to cherish this last chance.
He hoped, through this conversation, Seven could change her mind, could understand his feelings, understand that back then he was simply too young and not intentionally hurt her or deliberately make her uncomfortable. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Christopher thought of his relationship with Seven spanning over a decade, recalling the times Seven followed him around, he found a glimmer of hope for starting anew.
Yet he didn’t know, as he breathed a sigh of relief, outside, Sophia was crying from being yelled at.
Previously, Sophia wasn’t this fragile, but after Christopher’s outburst, she felt particularly wronged, maybe because among all the men she pursued, Christopher mattered most to her.
Lately, she almost daily brought Christopher meals, personally cooked love-filled lunches.
Even when Christopher mocked her or gave her the cold shoulder, she endured it, acting as if nothing mattered, indifferent to his harsh attitude.
However, with Christopher’s angry command to "get out" today, Sophia couldn’t take it, couldn’t bear his venting about Seven on her, even though she brought it upon herself.
In the elevator lobby, Sophia wiped her tears, muttering indignantly, "What’s the big deal? Tomorrow Seven gets engaged, and you’ll have to look back at me; she doesn’t want you anymore, you better not offend me, or else I won’t want you either."
Even though she said so, at this moment, she hadn’t truly considered giving up, despite feeling very upset.
She promised Maya to persist for seven months, it’s only been 18 days! Even if she couldn’t persist for seven months, she should at least last for seven weeks, or else she would waste her determination.
Anyway, she had nothing else to do, and maybe after holding on for a bit, spring would come.
At this point, the elevator door opened, Sophia took a deep breath, biting her lip, entered the elevator, and drove to find Maya.
Since meeting Maya, she felt an inexplicable closeness, even arguing with her was kind of fun.
At the moment, she was upset, and the first person she thought of was Maya, suddenly wanting to hug her.
Although Maya often turned cold, seemingly disdainful, Sophia knew Maya wasn’t really dismissive, just pretending.
When Sophia arrived at Liam’s villa, Liam and Maya were setting up the Christmas tree in the living room.
Seeing the loving couple, Sophia was displeased, impatiently threw her bag on the sofa and slowly approached Liam and Maya, suddenly asking, "Liam, don’t you need to work? A grown man not earning money, always accompanying his wife at home, is this decent?"
"I choose to!" Liam replied icily.
Liam’s devotion to Maya made Sophia even more uncomfortable, thinking, although Christopher and Liam were good brothers, how hadn’t Liam’s warmth rubbed off on him, yet he still yelled at her.
Sophia didn’t see Liam and Maya’s antics; if she were there, she would have been scared dumbfounded.
In reality, they fought for their happiness, it wasn’t easily obtained!
While Maya hung gifts on the Christmas tree, she caught a glimpse of Sophia from the side of her eye, noticing Sophia’s reddened eyes, quickly deducing she had probably faced trouble with Christopher again.
Maya took a deep breath, helplessly said, "You shouldn’t have bothered Christopher today; Seven’s getting engaged tomorrow, he can’t be in a good mood."
Maya’s mind remained sharp as ever; without needing Sophia to explain, she could guess the situation’s origin and course.
Listening to Maya, Sophia breathed a long sigh, pouted her lip, unhappily said, "I worried he’d be in bad spirits because of Seven’s wedding tomorrow, that’s why I accompanied him! Christopher’s just an ungrateful mutt."
While speaking, Sophia reached out to snag a red envelope from the Christmas tree, opened the envelope, unceremoniously stuffed the cash into her pocket, considering it a little comfort for herself!
Regarding Sophia, Liam was already tired of getting angry, as long as she was happy, no matter her antics. Because the more they tried to stop her, the more she fought back; such a person should be left to her own devices.
Moreover, as Maya’s cousin, Liam still gave her some lenience to avoid future family awkwardness.
Thus, he casually rolled his eyes at Sophia, snatched the envelope from her hand, then took out his wallet and flipped a few bills into the envelope before rehanging it on the Christmas tree. Those envelopes were for the household staff.
"Third brother, this tree is perfect, so beautiful." It was Maya’s first Christmas, bringing her a bit of joy.
In the past, when her mom was around, she disliked Western customs.
So she hadn’t experienced these Western holidays, and after arriving at the Spencer Family, there were no holidays. Her three years away after leaving were spent in depression, not celebrating anything.
"What else do you want to hang, Maya? I’ll help you put it on the tree, lots of empty spots up there." The two discussed merrily, completely ignoring Sophia.
Seeing this, Sophia wasn’t happy, grumpily said, "You care more about that tree than me; just hang me on it, alright?"
"Not at the top; too high, dangerous." The two continued to ignore Sophia, immersed in discussing the Christmas tree.
"Maya, look at me, I’m upset; come comfort me." Sophia, repeatedly ignored, nearly broke down, clutching Maya’s arm, yelling in her ear.
Finally, Maya sighed heavily, frowned, helplessly said, "Sophia, it’s a holiday today, don’t ruin everyone’s mood."
"Yeah, it’s a holiday; I’m unhappy; comfort me!" Sophia’s lips stuck out indignantly, as if suffering a big grievance.
Indeed, she was wronged today.
Seeing this, Maya took a deep breath, lazily said, "Alright, I’ll give you 30 minutes, finish complaining, then no more unhappiness, I managed to have a Christmas, don’t ruin it for me."
"Okay!"
Hence, the two shifted their conversation to the rooftop garden.
