Chapter 349 - Bitterness Before Sweetness
Take a look at Chapter 349 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother": Maya Spencer still remembers that she was rescued by Liam Spencer at the bar, when... See what happens next!
Maya Spencer still remembers that she was rescued by Liam Spencer at the bar, when Hannah drugged her, it was Liam Spencer who saved her, and when she was taken away by the bad guys, it was still Liam Spencer who rescued her."Later, I shamelessly clung to Liam, wanting to join his team. He reluctantly took me in. Afterward, we were captivated by each otherās charm... beauty..., and some indescribable things happened. Thatās why I came back three years later, once again charmed by his... beauty..., never escaping from his grasp. So, Iāve never not liked Liam."
"Being around him now has become a habit, and itās quite a good habit."
Maya felt that her explanation was flawless. Noah Owen should be satisfied, and surely Liam Spencer was satisfied too!
When she glanced at Liam Spencer, she saw a smile at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that the story she had just spun was quite seamless.
Mayaās story wasnāt fabricated at all. She simply omitted the part where she was helpless and couldnāt openly say she was being threatened. Besides, her attachment to Liam Spencer could indeed be considered a habitāhabitually staying by his side, habitually sleeping in the same bed.
What satisfied Liam Spencer the most about her explanation was the mention of the habit.
The scariest part of a habit is that once she gets used to being with him, sooner or later, sheāll get used to not liking Lillian Morris but instead get used to liking him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Iāve already been bloodied by the abuse from my third sister-in-law, falling in love with each otherās charm... beauty..., can it get any more shameless?" Christopher Scott was too exhausted to ridicule.
"Alright, I lost, Iāll step down, you guys play." Seeing that she finally passed, Maya quickly retreated from the card table.
After Maya stepped down, Asher Norton took her place.
Maya stood beside Liam Spencer and asked him, "Why arenāt you playing?"
"Once I get on the table, I wonāt be able to get down. Iām here for you." Liam Spencer said, as he wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin lightly on her shoulder, his face close to hers.
At the card table, Noah Owen looked at Henry Reidās awkward expression and finally smiled smugly. That bastard called her an old woman, now she tormented him by making him watch his beloved woman show affection with someone else. Nothing is more thrilling than this.
Three rounds of cards later, everyone had asked their questions, and started drinking again.
This time, Maya didnāt participate. Ever since her alcohol-induced miscarriage three years ago, she had given up drinking. Helping Henry Reid drink last time was an exception; normally, she wouldnāt drink.
Liam Spencer didnāt persuade her to get on the table this time, but he joined the table himself. Donāt assume he didnāt notice Noah Owenās little tricks earlier; he just chose not to speak. Since he had already heard what he wanted to hear, it was time to avenge Maya, he wouldnāt let her lose without knowing why.
As a result, once Liam Spencer got on the table, he really didnāt get off. He drank swiftly, knocking out a group of people, and as everyone drank more, their minds became increasingly unclear. Liam Spencerās card playing became faster too, with every hand taking just three minutes.
At the card table, Hudson Moore blinked in amazement: "Liam did it on purpose, he wants to drink us away and have a private world with his sister-in-law."
"Oh... oh... oh..."
"So thatās it!"
"But we simply wonāt leave."
Hudson Mooreās words awakened everyone from a dream, letting them suddenly understand, but each of them still didnāt leave, continuing to resist.
At 2 a.m., everyone returned to their rooms, staggering. Out of the ten people in the whole room, only Liam Spencer and Maya were sober; the others were all knocked over by Liam.
In the bedroom, Maya stretched lazily, lying on the bed, saying, "Iām exhausted, I want to sleep."
Liam Spencer, hearing someoneās complaint, lay down on her, kissed her ear, and asked, "When did you start getting used to me?"
Maya heard his question and her sleepiness was startled awake. She thought, isnāt this topic already over?
But since he asked, she couldnāt just brush it off, so she turned her head, looked at Liam Spencer, blinked her big eyes, and pitifully said, "Anyway, I feel pretty used to it now."
Maya herself couldnāt quite understand if she was used to being by his side, or used to despising him. The only thing she could be sure of was that she had to say nice things to him, make him happy, so they could continue to coexist peacefully.
Moreover, these days, Liam Spencer had behaved well and hadnāt provoked her, so he deserved some contradicting encounters. The most update n0vels are published on novelā¢ļ¬re.net
Listening to the girlās explanation, Liam Spencer lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"Itās so bitter." After the kiss, Maya pushed him away suddenly, pouted and complained.
"Bitter first, then sweet." Liam Spencer said with a mischievous smile.
From Liam Spencerās words, Maya understood. He was simply promising her that sheād feel good later, but she really wasnāt up for it now.
Therefore, she immediately moved his wandering hand away from her, saying, "My foot is hurt."
"Trust me." Liam Spencer had already been stirred by her behind the card table, now how could he easily let her go?
If he decided to have her, no excuses could be considered valid, so Maya was once again devoured by him.
Meanwhile, in Henry Reidās suite, he drunkenly lay on the bed, yet his mind was filled with images of Maya nestled in Liam Spencerās embrace. He saw Maya smiling contentedly, looking very happy. She said she had never not liked Liam Spencer, such nice words, but unfortunately, they would never belong to him.
But at this moment, Henry Reid had already accepted fate, completely accepted the fact that Maya wouldnāt have a future with him.
Thinking of his own future, Henry Reid stretched out his long arms to grab the pillow beside him, only to find something warm next to him.
He turned his head and saw Maya lying next to him. Henry Reid half-closed his eyes, almost certain he was dreaming, and it was quite a nice dream.
He reached out his right hand, touched the girlās face, and gently said, "Maya, itās nice you came to my dream."
The girl heard his words, struggled to lift her small hand, grasping his wrist but didnāt remove his hand. She quite liked this warm feeling.
Seeing the girl not reject him, Henry Reid held his breath, thinking this dream felt so real.
He stared fixedly at Maya, seeing her obediently lying beside him, feeling so happy, with his large hand caressing her face.
He then moved closer and closer, until his lips touched hers, she didnāt push him away either.
This dreamlike feeling made Henry Reidās emotions uncontrollably wild, especially since he didnāt need to control them within the dream.
What pleased him was that the Maya in his eyes didnāt push him away and continued to sleep obediently, and he hadnāt awoken from the dream either.
He loved this dream, this feeling even more exciting than before.
