Chapter 377 - First Visit
Chapter 377 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" starts with dramatic events: After he called her five or six times, Maya Spencer finally rubbed her eyes and... Discover what happens!
After he called her five or six times, Maya Spencer finally rubbed her eyes and said with a frown, "I thought it was morning already, how come itâs still night?"Actually, she didnât want to go to Charlotte Owenâs house for dinner; she didnât have the energy to spar with her.
"Itâs no big deal, weâll just go home after dinner." Liam Spencer knew she didnât want to deal with Charlotteâs antics and found it troublesome.
But Charlotte Owen, after all, was her aunt; a certain courtesy still had to be maintained.
In the car, Maya Spencer lazily half-opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Liam Spencer, and asked, "Is it necessary to bring a gift when visiting for the first time?"
"Elijah Reed has already prepared it, itâs in the trunk."
"Hmm! Elijah is quite reliable. Iâll introduce him to Ella another day."
"No way, the two of them arenât on the same intellectual level. Ella is too dumb." Obviously, he had a prejudice against Ella Turner.
His bias wasnât because Ella had lured Maya Spencer away, but because Ella actually thought Lillian Morris was more suitable for Maya than he was, what kind of judgment is that!
"Oh, still holding a grudge, are we!" Maya teased him by poking his arm with her finger.
"Do I need to? Iâm just speaking the truth." Liamâs attitude was dismissive.
Forty minutes later, Liamâs car drove into the hillside villa district of S City and parked in a villa garage by the sea.
After getting out of the car, Maya Spencer looked around the surroundings, shaking her head in admiration, "Tsk tsk tsk! Liam, your aunt really knows how to enjoy life."
Liam watched her sour look, raised his arm, wrapped it around her neck, and bit her rosy cheek, commanding, "Call me Third Brother!"
"Liam! Liam! Liam!" She retorted, calling his name three times.
Mayaâs voice was soft and pleasant to hear, and when she cooed his name sweetly like this, it was especially melodious, making Liamâs scalp tingle.
So, he immediately pulled her slender waist close, leaned down, and kissed her lips.
Beneath them lay the vast sea, the setting sun still lingering on the horizon, reluctant to leave.
The fiery sky cast a warm glow over the sea and the villa estates, making the two who embraced at the white fence on the mountain peak look like figures in a painting.
"Young Master, is that you?" At this moment, a servant called from the villa entrance from afar.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, Maya immediately pushed Liam away and said in helplessness, "Time to face the music."
"I think the one facing the music should be my aunt."
"Pfft!" Maya couldnât help but laugh.
In the living room, after handing the gift to a servant, Liam casually said to Charlotte Owen on the sofa, "Aunt, weâre back."
After greeting, Liam pulled Maya to sit on the main sofa.
From the side, Charlotte gave Maya a sidelong glance, mockingly saying, "Liam, whoâs that person you came with? A mute? Doesnât even know how to greet people?"
Charlotte had done her homework to spar with Maya today, so she didnât miss any chance to take a jab at her.
Sitting on the main sofa, Liam looked at Charlotteâs superior air and then at Mayaâs disdainful little eyes, his head pounded, hoping they wouldnât flip the table during dinner later.
As he was about to speak to ease the tension, he heard Maya say with a fake smile, "President Owen!"
"Pfft!" Liam couldnât help but laugh hearing her call Charlotte that.
He had thought this situation might be awkward for Maya, but it seemed like she came well-prepared!
However, upon hearing Maya call her President Owen, Charlotte gave a wicked smile and provocatively remarked to Liam, "Liam, sheâs not even sincere about being with you! Youâve brought her in, yet she doesnât even know how to call me aunt, seems sheâs just playing with you!"
Charlotte couldnât care less if Maya called her âauntâ; she was nitpicking for the sake of stirring trouble and separating them.
"President Owen, youâre overthinking it. According to the custom, giving a red envelope is necessary when visiting for the first time. But with your empty hands, how can I call you Auntie? Donât you agree!" Mayaâs quick wit clashed with Charlotteâs, leaving no room for leniency.
Watching the flames of war between the two women, Liam felt exasperated yet amused, wondering how much more chaotic things would get.
So, he raised his right hand and rubbed his temple, opting not to partake in this battle.
Throughout history, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrels always left the man in trouble, making things more tangled. Though Charlotte wasnât his real mom, she was filling that role now, so he simply decided to opt-out.
"Hehe! Maya, you think you can get my red envelope? Letâs see if you have what it takes to marry into the Owen Family." Charlotteâs first attack had been countered by Maya, so her words sounded assertive. Yet they carried no weight, posing no threat to Maya.
Listening to her comeback, Maya was neither angry nor fazed, calmly replying, "Better prepare a bigger red envelope, or I wonât accept it." When it came to being thick-skinned, Maya had no match.
Liam, hearing she wanted a large red envelope, became exceptionally cheerful, quickly grabbing her small hand, teasing her.
Because the underlying meaning of Mayaâs words was about marrying him, he was naturally overjoyed.
Listening to Mayaâs words, Charlotte felt stifled, but since she had invited them, she was determined to see this quarrel through, even if on her knees.
Shortly after, she chuckled coldly twice and instructed a servant, "Sister Mason, bring the gift I prepared for Miss Hanson."
A moment later, the servant presented Maya with a book, "Daughterâs Scripture," with both hands.
Seeing the book, Maya felt both angry and amused.
She thought Charlotte must have time-traveled from ancient times. What era is this, still gifting a Daughterâs Scripture, treating her like a submissive wife from a feudal society? Itâs downright funny.
Beside her, seeing the book in Mayaâs hands, Liam raised his right hand, covering his eyes, and chuckled, "Hehehe."
He could honestly say he really enjoyed watching women bicker! Their words were sword hidden within silk, every situation had its own twists, making it the most entertaining spectacle he had ever witnessed.
Maya, noticing Liamâs mischievous laugh, picked up the book and threw it at his head, threatening, "Laugh one more time and see what happens!"
Liam watched Mayaâs aggrieved expression, quickly captured her small hand, brought it to his lips, and softly bit it, affectionately asking, "My little thing, have you been wronged?" Ignoring Charlotte completely, he shamelessly showed affection.
"What are you doing? Liam, what on earth are you doing? Out of good intentions, Iâm teaching her how to be a good person since she has no parents, so how is she wronged?" Charlotte felt uncomfortable seeing Liam dote on Maya.
However, as soon as Charlotte spoke, Mayaâs face turned truly grim.
She admitted she didnât get along with Charlotte. She could handle Charlotteâs sarcastic remarks and accusations of poor upbringing, but she absolutely couldnât tolerate any challenge to her bottom line by mentioning her parents. That was Mayaâs only boundary.
