Chapter 378 - He Likes Them All
Chapter 378 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" commences with: "Auntie, itâs okay to mess around, but donât take it too far." At this point,... Donât miss the next part!
"Auntie, itâs okay to mess around, but donât take it too far." At this point, Liam Spencerâs face was stern as he reproached Charlotte Owen.Charlotte Owen looked at Liam Spencerâs serious expression, then at Maya Spencerâs darkened face, and complained pitifully, "What did I do wrong? I was just kind enough to give her a book, whatâs there to be aggrieved about?"
Maya Spencer listened to Charlotte Owenâs complaints, took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said mockingly, gritting her teeth, "Not aggrieved."
"See, she herself said sheâs not aggrieved." Charlotte Owen thought Maya was concerned about her elder status, so she didnât dare to confront her, not to mention this was her territory.
She looked at Mayaâs small face, green with anger, feeling utterly delighted, almost wanting to burst into song.
Then she immediately continued, "Follow the three obediences, practice the four virtues; ponder on these words well, and donât take shame as pride."
The matter of Maya Spencer confessing about cheating last time had always been a stumbling block in Charlotte Owenâs heart.
Her words werenât intended to educate Maya genuinely, but to deliberately provoke, to incite Liam Spencerâs anger, making him face the reality that this woman had once cheated on him.
Listening to Charlotte Owenâs admonishment, Liam Spencerâs face turned unsightly; he knew Maya intentionally argued last time, being cheeky and provocative, making Charlotte Owen angry, but the words did indeed come out of her mouth before. Though he no longer dwelled on it, he didnât wish for Charlotte to bring it up again.
Thus he seriously said, "Auntie, last time Maya intentionally argued with you, letâs not make an example of this, I donât want to hear about it again."
Moreover, after Maya said those words, she even cut her wrist; this had been a painful memory for both of them, unwilling to be brought up again.
Maya glanced at Liamâs defense, casually, then flirtatiously looked at Charlotte Owen, saying coolly, "President Owen, could it be that because you canât practice the three obediences and four virtues, so no one wants to marry you?"
As soon as Maya finished speaking, Charlotte Owen was so angered she hurriedly clutched her chest, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Liam Spencer was instantly confused too; Charlotte Owenâs unmarried status was something that couldnât be mentioned, couldnât be spoken of; it was her limit.
Yet Maya even dared to ridicule her like this, leaving Liam Spencer stunned by the two women before him, thinking, is it necessary to expose each otherâs scars, to hurt one another?
Then he turned around, raised his right hand, pinched Mayaâs lips, and said helplessly, "Little troublemaker, how about saying less, okay?"
"Buzz..." Maya listened to the manâs request, blinked her big eyes, and shook her head straight away.
"Poof!" Liam Spencer looked at her charming appearance, and was amused by her again.
Charlotte Owen looked at the two being mischievous, "Bang!" she slammed her phone onto the coffee table, angrily saying, "Dinner!"
This time Maya had thoroughly upset her, almost demanding her to leave in anger, hence she furiously announced dinner, wanting her to eat and leave quickly.
She just couldnât understand, besides a pretty face and good figure, what else was likeable about this little seductress? How did Liam Spencer become so enamored, wasnât he surrounded by women like her? There were countless better ones, yet he chose Maya, it was mind-boggling.
Maya watched Charlotte Owen march angrily towards the dining room, nonchalantly rolling her eyes at her to show triumph.
Liam Spencer watched her roll her eyes, increased the pressure on his fingers pinching her lips to punish her, Maya immediately let out a heavy "Hmm..." to express dissatisfaction.
Liam looked at her furrowed brows, leaned closer to her, kissed her lips, let go of her, then took her hand and headed towards the dining room.
At the dining table, Maya and Liam sat closely together, while Charlotte Owen sat at the head.
Watching Liam constantly picking food for Maya, Charlotteâs heart inexplicably felt stifled.
In Charlotte Owenâs impression, Liam Spencer was always indifferent to others, but now he was spoiling Maya like crazy, she couldnât accept this, so she said lukewarmly, "Doesnât she have hands? Canât she serve herself food?"
Maya listened to Charlotteâs displeasure, not getting angry, just tossed her half-eaten rib into Liamâs bowl and said sweetly, "Third brother, Iâm afraid of getting fat, you help me eat."
The more Charlotte didnât want to see Liam treat her well, the more she wanted to provoke Liam, causing her distress.
Watching Maya toss the leftover rib to Liam, "Bang!" Charlotte slapped her chopsticks on the table, angrily scolding, "Donât do unto others what you donât want done unto yourself; Maya, donât you understand this principle?"
This time Charlotte was almost furious by Maya, Liam was always pampered in the Spencer Family, and this woman dared to let him eat her leftovers, Charlotte was about to explode, and most crucially, Liam actually gladly accepted.
However, towards the enraged Charlotte Owen opposite, Maya just breezily said, "He likes everything I give."
"Maya!" Liam called her name gently, indicating she should stop.
Yet Maya intentionally fixed her gaze on Liam, eyes turning into crescents, asked, "Third brother, what do you say? Do you agree?"
Wasnât Charlotte Owen trying to embarrass her, exert pressure? Then let her feel even worse! Besides, it wasnât her who first provoked Charlotte.
Liam watched the girl with a mischievous smile, tapped her bowl with his chopsticks, reminding, "Eat your meal properly."
"Mm!" Maya bit her chopsticks, nodded vigorously at Liam, then bowed her head and eagerly began eating.
Watching Mayaâs sprightly demeanor, Charlotte Owen gritted her teeth, knowing full well she was intentionally provoking her, yet she still fell into the trap.
A moment later, dinner ended, Charlotte Owen stared at Maya earnestly, business-like instructing, "Maya, wash the dishes before you leave, donât just eat, do something too."
Charlotte Owen had decided to be ruthless, completely disregarding Maya being a guest, instructing her to work without the slightest politeness.
This time, Maya didnât argue with Charlotte Owen, casually and cheekily replied, "Wash! Wash! Iâll wash! Eating someone elseâs food makes one obliged, is there anything wrong with washing?"
From her tone, it was evident she wasnât intending to seriously clean.
Charlotte Owen listened to her begrudging response, coldly laughed, "Eating from anotherâs plate makes one obliged? I see your mouth is quite quick, not restrained at all."
"Restrained or not, how would you know, Third brother knows." Maya shamelessly began arguing again.
"Sister Mason, once sheâs done washing, you check, if itâs not clean, wash twice, clean until itâs spotless." Charlotte Owen was already feeling thoroughly defeated, had no desire to continue bickering, thus instructed Sister Mason to monitor her work.
Meanwhile, Liam watched the war between the two women, sitting upright on the chair, resting his curved fingers on his lips, nonchalantly watching Maya, unable to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
Although todayâs dinner was tainted with the smell of gunpowder, his mood was exceptionally good.
The rivalry between Maya and Charlotte Owen made him feel the warmth of family, a feeling heâd never had before, very warm, very cozy! And very grounded!
