Chapter 386 - Pitch-Black Darkness
Starting Chapter 386 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother": "The new French restaurant on Southern River Road, I want a rooftop table." Elijah hurriedly... See what happens next!
"The new French restaurant on Southern River Road, I want a rooftop table." Elijah hurriedly mentioned the restaurantâs address before she could complain. It was the most expensive restaurant in S City, and he was splurging today to at least get some of his spendingâs worth. It wouldnât be worthwhile otherwise."Look at you, how much can a dinner cost? Youâre not expecting to eat your way to a watchâs price, are you?"
"Haha! Maybe I really do have that capability," Elijah retorted with a cold sneer.
Meanwhile, Liam had given up his afternoon work, taking Ellaâs place to accompany Maya shopping at the department store.
In the cinema, Liam didnât tell Maya that it was his first time accompanying a girl to watch a movie.
In his past relationship with Grace, the closest theyâd been was squeezing into the library to do homework together. Dates were group activities, never strolling hand in hand like today.
In the dimly lit theater, Liam turned his head to glance at Maya, who was shoveling popcorn into her mouth while grinning foolishly.
Despite the low light, he could clearly see the radiant smile on her face.
To Liam, Maya was more captivating than the movie, so he simply stared at her.
When she laughed out loud, he laughed with her. When she furrowed her brows, he grasped her left hand tightly and kissed it softly on his lips.
This version of Maya gave Liam an inexplicable thrill, making him feel like he was back in his mid-teens, still in school.
Even during school days, he never felt as thrilled as he did at that moment - it was beautiful.
On the screen, when the male lead pinned and kissed the female lead, Mayaâs mouth curled into an embarrassed smile, as if she were the girl being kissed.
Mayaâs naive demeanor left Liam puzzled. He raised his right hand, pinched her cheek, and curiously asked, "Maya, is it really that good?"
"Mm-hmm, XX is so handsome, heâs making my inner girl swoon," Maya unabashedly confessed her admiration for a certain male star, her eyebrows dancing as she mentioned his name.
This didnât please Liam. He glanced at the screen coolly and said, "Handsome? I donât see it."
He thought he was more handsome than the male lead, and here Maya was swooningâhe was quite displeased.
"Ah! XXâs handsomeness, you wouldnât understand. Look at his smile, so charming and gentle, yet domineering, aloof, and cunning. Heâs truly worthy of being the nationâs new heartthrob," Maya, caught up in fangirling, was a complete fangirl, almost wanting to lick the screen.
However, Liamâs face grew darker. He then lifted Mayaâs chin and seriously asked, "Am I really knocked off the list by this guy?"
"Pfft!" Maya couldnât help but burst into laughter at his unwilling look, popcorn flying onto his face.
Then, she lifted a small hand to wipe the popcorn off his face while explaining, "Youâre also, youâre also!" Clearly, she was being perfunctory.
Liam glared at her nonchalance, feeling annoyed to the point that he was chewing on his teethâhe was jealous, jealous of Mayaâs celebrity crush.
"Ah... Hubby! So handsome! So handsome!"
"Hubby! Hubby!"
When the plot reached its climax, the girls in the theater suddenly shouted, startling Liam. It was the first time he realized that watching a movie could be so intense.
Maya watched Liamâs bewildered expression, grabbed a handful of popcorn, and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Itâs really good, very sweet, very girly."
"Maya, watching this kind of romance film with Ella, donât you find it disgusting?" Liam couldnât imagine if Ella wasnât dragged along by Elijah today and instead watched the movie with Maya, would they be shouting âhubbyâ like the fans here? Just the thought of it gave him goosebumps.
"Not disgusting at all, itâs really nice!" Maya said while yanking Liamâs hand off her chin and resumed watching the movie with a juice in hand, smiling foolishly.
Liam, watching Mayaâs naivety, was completely speechless, completely powerless. He couldnât block her overflowing girly excitement.
Just when he felt extremely frustrated, an overly suggestive whisper from a girl behind reached him. Turning instinctively, he saw something he shouldnât have seen.
In that moment, Liam felt a chill down his spine and thought, in the dark, it truly was the perfect setting for mischief.
Taking a deep breath, he looked around.
At this point, he began to imagine, if Maya and Ella were here, would it have been this same scenario?
Now, Liam felt his brain didnât have enough capacity, so he dared not imagine further.
When he turned back to Maya, she was still holding her juice and smiling foolishly, staring intently at the male lead.
Seeing this, Liam leaned in closer, whispered in her ear while nibbling on her earlobe, "Maya, spend less time with Ella from now on."
"Why?" Maya turned, her large eyes filled with confusion.
"Afraid youâll cross the line."
"Liam, whatâs in your mind..."
Before Maya could finish, Liam pulled her into his arms,
Maya had come to seriously fangirl, and she hurriedly tried to push him away to continue watching the movie.
Liam released her and gently commanded, "Maya, call me hubby!"
"No!" Maya reflexively refused, for a moment, she really couldnât say it.
Seeing her refusal, Liam continued to tease her, placing his large hand on her shoulder, "Are you sure you donât want to?"
"Third Brother, take your hand away, itâs not good if people see." Maya remained nervous in such situations.
"Do you think everyone has time to watch us?" Liam lightly bit her earlobe and asked.
"No, I donât want it to be like those behind us; Iâm scared."
