Chapter 357 - Waiting for a Rabbit
Chapter 357 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" commences with: These days, they have been getting along well without any conflicts, he didnât even care... Donât miss the next part!
These days, they have been getting along well without any conflicts, he didnât even care about her meeting Lillian Morris in private. However, they took him for a fool, pushing their luck.Liam Spencer didnât want to consider that Maya Spencerâs recent compromises were just an act, a mere delaying tactic.
He didnât want to believe that Maya had been plotting to leave him, that her tenderness was just to stabilize his emotions, to placate him, while she and Lillian were plotting an elopement.
Despite not wanting to believe that Maya had betrayed him, his mind couldnât help but wander in that direction.
He had to suspect that Maya had always been acting, always contemplating leaving him.
He still remembered her saying that she wouldnât be with Lillian, that she would stay by his side, that it was her promise to him.
Looking back now, Liam felt it was a joke. Her compliance was never willing, never from the heart.
She hated him so deeply, how could she stay by his side? Even for the Morris and Hanson Clans, she wouldnât want to keep acting this charade, Liam felt he was such a failure.
Even knowing that her heart wasnât with him, he was still deceived by her acting, still believed in her.
In the car, Liam took a deep breath and even had thoughts of giving up, no longer entangling with her, letting her leave with Lillian.
But when he thought of her smile at him, their playful moments, the thought of never seeing her again, he couldnât bear it.
Moreover, Maya also had depression. What if she had an episode? What if Lillian found out about her illness and rejected her? He couldnât bear to entrust such a Maya to anyone.
At the same time, Liam was furious, angry at Maya for leaving again.
But he mostly felt sadness in his heart, sadness that he could never reach her heart no matter what.
He originally thought that by keeping her by his side, he could make her accustomed to him, now he understood, she was more accustomed to liking Lillian, after all, she liked him for so many years, she felt only safe with him.
"Ha ha! Ha ha!" Thinking of this, Liam laughed coldly, he never imagined his feelings would be so humble, so insignificant, so unvalued.
He felt like a joke, even if he forcibly brought Maya back, how should he face her, face a woman who didnât like him at all?
He couldnât guarantee that after seeing Maya, he would remain as calm as he was now, and wouldnât hurt her.
All of a sudden, Liam felt so tired, so tired that he didnât want to face his emotions anymore, yet he had to move forward.
Half an hour later, he finally arrived at the airport, with Elijah Reed following behind, cautiously reporting, "BOSS, the plane has been flying for 40 minutes, but there is no information on President Morris and Miss Fifth, could it be that Miss Big made a mistake?"
Looking at Liam with a face like dead ash, Elijah was scared to death.
Even though Liam wasnât angry, Elijah knew that the BOSS was the scariest when calm.
So he hoped that this was a misunderstanding, and that Miss Fifth hadnât done something foolish, or else the BOSS wouldnât let her go.
Listening to Elijahâs report, Liam coldly said, "Go to the monitoring room."
"Okay." After Elijah finished answering, he immediately went to the monitoring room.
Sure enough, he found Mayaâs figure in the surveillance video, along with Lillian and Ella Turner, and immediately called Liam.
However, Liam didnât take any action, he just said faintly, "Iâm coming."
In the monitoring room, Elijah was stunned by Liamâs reaction, this was completely unlike his usual style. Why watch the surveillance? Shouldnât he be giving orders to bring Miss Fifth back? Did the BOSS not want Miss Fifth? Was he planning to let her go to Lillian?
Elijah was confused and frantic, worried that if the two reached the next airport and changed identities again, they would truly be untraceable, and the BOSS might really miss Miss Fifth for a lifetime.
When Elijah was worrying frivolously, Liam arrived, and he immediately suggested, "BOSS, let me act first! Iâm afraid if we delay, it will be too late."
"No need." Liam coldly dropped two words.
"BOSS, donât you want Miss Fifth?"
Faced with Elijahâs questioning, Liam did not answer but only instructed the staff to play the surveillance.
The two stared intently at the surveillance footage. Elijah suddenly frowned and said, "BOSS, Miss Fifth doesnât seem to be participating in the escape plan, she looks very surprised."
In the surveillance, Liam saw Ella push Maya into Elijahâs arms, and then Maya immediately turned around and walked towards the exit.
From Mayaâs series of actions, it was clear she wasnât aware beforehand, she was at the airport merely tricked by Ella, and she refused to leave with Lillian.
When Liam saw Maya shaking off Lillianâs hand, his desolate emotions finally began to improve, those messy thoughts gradually dispersed like the wind.
Maya didnât participate in this plan, she was unaware; her promises to him werenât premeditated lies.
But what made him sad was that in the end, she still didnât stand firm and was taken away by Lillian.
Even though it appeared Maya wasnât willing to leave, she still went. In her heart, he still couldnât win over Lillian.
Liam didnât know that after boarding the plane, Maya regretted it, and almost relapsed, nor did he know that she had firmly decided to return and stay by his side.
"BOSS, stop hesitating, if you keep hesitating, there will really be no chance." Looking at Liam dragging his feet, Elijah wished he could take matters into his own hands, and immediately retrieve Maya, but the woman wasnât his wife; she was the BOSSâs wife.
"Why are you anxious?" Liam looked at Elijahâs anxious expression with indifference and rolled his eyes at him.
"I... I... I..." Elijah stammered for ages without reason, but he was just anxious for Liamâs sake.
He looked at Liam with countless grievances, thinking, could it be the BOSS was tired of Miss Fifth, so he didnât bother chasing her? If that were so, why did he come to the airport, why watch the surveillance, wouldnât it be easier to pretend nothing happened?
Liam looked at Elijahâs overly aggrieved expression, thinking he was acting daft.
After watching the surveillance, Liam coldly said, "Just sit tight and wait for the rabbit, thereâs no need for such trouble."
Only then did Elijah realize, slapping his own head and saying, "Too nervous, not thinking straight, BOSS is really smart, Iâll go to the switchboard room right away."
Watching Elijahâs self-deprecation, Liam also left the surveillance room and headed to the VIP lounge.
Meanwhile, on the plane, Maya kept frowning as she stared out the window, wondering, what was Liam doing now? Did he realize she had left, was he angry?
Thinking of these, her brows furrowed more and more, and as Lillian saw this, she patted Mayaâs overlapping hands in comfort, "Maya, as long as Iâm here, thereâs nothing to worry about."
