Chapter 270 - Want to Be Confined
Chapter 270 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" opens introducing the plot: "Hmm!" Maya didnât even think about it and agreed.At the dining table, Kinsley looked at... Continue exploring!
"Hmm!" Maya didnât even think about it and agreed.At the dining table, Kinsley looked at the girl who seemed indifferent. He felt a bit awkward; on the wedding day, he had paired her with Liam without her consent.
He took a deep breath and apologized, "Maya, the whole wedding thing happened too suddenly. I had no choice but to go along. How are you doing with Liam?"
Listening to Kinsleyâs explanation, Maya, flipping through the menu, said dismissively, "Itâs okay, as long as it doesnât involve you. Liam canât do anything to me."
After finishing, she put down the menu, raised her head, and looked at Kinsley seriously, saying, "After all, I am also the eldest Hanson daughter."
Kinsley knew that the girl was comforting him. But the situation was beyond their control. No one expected Liam to play such a cheap trick, leaving no way out for them.
"Maya, why donât you leave? Donât go back to S City." The last strategy of the 36 stratagems, apart from this one, Kinsley couldnât think of a way to get Maya out of this situation.
"Even if I want to leave, it wonât be easy." Maya was more aware of her predicament than anyone. This time she wanted to escape; it wouldnât be that easy. Besides, she could sense that her uncle was very satisfied with the current situation and didnât want her to leave.
While the two were chatting, Mayaâs phone rang. She glanced at the phone on the table, saw the name Liam Spencer, and her brows immediately furrowed.
She stared at the phone for a moment before slowly picking it up, lazily saying, "Whatâs up?"
"Maya, where are you? Iâll pick you up for dinner." The manâs voice on the other end was very calm.
"No need, Iâm already having dinner." Maya hurriedly explained upon hearing that Liam wanted to pick her up for dinner.
"Alone?" The man listened to her panicked voice and frowned as he pursued the question.
Hearing his question, Maya paused for a moment before weakly responding with a "Hmm." She was lying.
She originally didnât want to lie but didnât want to create trouble for herself, so she lied.
On the opposite side, Kinsley looked at the girl coldly handling the call. Without much thought, he knew who was calling. Watching Liamâs concern for Maya, Kinsley thought Liam must be serious and wasnât treating her as Grace.
After Maya hung up the phone, he thoughtlessly asked, "Was it Liamâs call?"
"Hmm!" She answered indifferently, clearly not wanting to talk more about someone.
"Maya, Liam seems pretty attentive to you. He never showed this much concern for Grace." Kinsley reminded the girl while sipping coffee.
Hearing that Liam cared more for her than Grace, Maya couldnât help but laugh, saying, "Youâre overthinking it, second brother."
Nowadays, regardless of what Liam did, Maya thought it was fake. His concern for her stemmed from his guilt towards Grace, so she didnât think much of it.
Fifteen minutes later, while the two were dining, suddenly a "bang" sound was heard as a mobile phone was slammed onto the table.
Maya turned her head to look at the phone, only to see a familiar ring on the hand holding the phone. She recognized this ring as their engagement ring.
Seeing the ring, Maya immediately turned her head away, pretending nothing happened and continued eating. Yet, her little heart almost jumped to her throat, forcing her to swallow hard and calm down.
At the dining table, the man, seeing the girl ignoring him, was furious, thinking she had barely been apart from Kinsley for days, yet couldnât wait to see him.
Even if he knew Maya and Kinsley only discussed work, nothing else, he still felt displeased.
Thus, he angrily threw the phone near Mayaâs plate, and with a "whiz," he opened her plate.
This time, Maya raised her head to glance at him. The man looked at her with lazy, indifferent eyes and pushed her toward the couch with his right leg, sitting down rudely.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became exceedingly awkward. Mayaâs earlier lie was easily exposed, and Kinsley couldnât find a reasonable excuse to defend her.
Thus, he took the blame, saying, "Liam, I asked Maya out."
Listening to her second brotherâs defense, Maya took a deep breath, sat up straight, grabbed a menu beside her, tossed it in front of someone, and said coldly, "Order what you want yourself."
Facing Mayaâs attempt to change the topic, Liam didnât pay attention, only looked at Kinsley and sneered, "Second brother, you just got newly married, yet you donât join your wife for dinner but invite your sister-in-law. Isnât that inappropriate?"
Listening to someone calling her sister-in-law, Maya cursed him a hundred times in her heart, thinking, truly shameless.
However, Kinsley wasnât angry, only chuckled mildly, saying, "Nothing inappropriate. Maya and I shouldâve been dining at home. Coming to this step, thanks all to your kind effort."
Although Kinsley had a good temper, he wouldnât let Liam bully him, hearing him bring up marriage made him infuriated, really wanting to abduct Maya.
But he knew clearly that it was impossible for him and Maya. Furthermore, he was now Zoe Smithâs husband. If any scandal between the two were to arise, it wouldnât be good for anyone.
Listening to Kinsleyâs sarcasm and looking at the indifferent girl next to him, Liam was infuriated, thinking this guy wanted to be grounded.
So, he reached out and pinched her thigh hard, making Maya immediately raise her head to look at him.
Following that, shamelessly, he said to Kinsley, "Second brother, if you want to take control of the Spencer Clan Group from grandpa, the person you should be pleasing is me, not Maya."
"Do you have no shame?" Liamâs threat made Maya unable to hold back.
Hearing the girlâs defense, Liam reached out to pat the back of her head, saying, "Eat your meal."
At this point, Kinsley couldnât hold back either, his sharp eyes staring straight at Liam, fury almost reaching its peak.
Across, Maya saw the situation, immediately stood up pulling, casually also pulled Liam up, saying, "Second brother, Iâm full; weâre leaving first."
After saying this, she dragged Liam away first.
In the elevator, Liam looked at the sulking girl, took a deep breath, and stepped closer to her, then clutched her chin, questioning, "Werenât you dining alone?"
Listening to the manâs question, Maya rolled her eyes at him, opened his hand and said, "What are you to me? I donât need you to mind my business."
Hearing Mayaâs retort, the man held his breath, stared straight into her eyes, and counter-questioned, "You sleep in my arms; you tell me what I am to you?"
Feeling the manâs dominance, Maya swallowed hard, began to show weakness, saying, "Itâs just a meal, not going to a... hotel. What are you tensed about?"
Not wanting to argue with him, she compromised.
