Chapter 407 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" opens introducing the plot: In the bar, all of the Six Young Masters of S City had arrived except... Continue exploring!
In the bar, all of the Six Young Masters of S City had arrived except for Liam Spencer.Henry Reid looked at Asher Nortonâs ostentatious display and wasnât pleased. He turned to leave but was stopped by Asher Norton.
He said, "Itâs just the right time for everyone to drink together; collective brainstorming is more powerful."
"I canât be bothered to let you all make fun of me." Henry Reid didnât intend to stay.
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
What gave him more of a headache was that he hadnât even thought of a solution yet, and Asher Norton had already made the matter known to everyone. People were continuously congratulating him, making him feel like hitting someone.
So he pulled Asher Norton aside, whispering a warning, "Are you trying to see me humiliated? Noah Owen doesnât want to give birth, nor marry me, arenât you setting me up for a joke?"
"Are you stupid? Once people start calling her Young Madam Reid, sheâll be too embarrassed to refuse." Asher Norton said with a fake smile.
"Youâre pushing it, Noah Owen wonât buy this trick." Henry Reid got anxious because Noah Owen simply wouldnât fall for it; her flaw was being too independent.
"How do you know if you havenât tried?" Asher Norton said nonchalantly.
Henry Reid looked at Asher Norton indifferent attitude and was so angry he was gnashing his teeth.
If he had known Asher Norton was coming up with a lousy idea, he wouldnât have bothered telling him; he might as well have pestered Noah Owen himselfâit would have been less infuriating.

"Congratulations, Young Master Reid!"
Seeing Henry Reid in low spirits and ignoring the congratulations, Asher Norton proactively greeted the others, "Thank you! Thank you! Tonight, Young Master Reid is hosting and covering all expenses, have fun."
"Thank you, Young Master Reid."
"Asher Norton, youâre setting me up to fail. You canât even handle your own wife, and here you are, setting me up; you have ill intentions." Henry Reid grabbed Asher Norton by the collar, almost ready to fight him.
Asher Norton, seeing the situation, calmly removed his hand, smirked, and said, "Cousin, why so anxious? The good show is yet to come. At midnight, the trending news will announce Noah Owenâs pregnancy, and Iâve already talked to the hospital; rest assured, no one dares to give her an operation. If she doesnât marry you, then who?"
Henry Reid was dumbfounded, stunned by Asher Nortonâs unilateral decision.
Asher Nortonâs tactic of cutting off all retreats was despicableâdespicable beyond words.
But Noah Owen isnât some weak woman; once she sees the news, it could be his end. Even if the hospital refuses, what then? Itâs not like Noah Owen wouldnât have other ways. If she doesnât want the child, she will have a thousand ways to get rid of it.
Thinking about it now made Henry Reid so furious he could almost spit blood. Glaring angrily at Asher Norton, he didnât utter a single word.
Asher Norton looked at the pale-faced Henry Reid, smiled maliciously, and patted his shoulder, saying, "Cousin, weâre all family, no need to look at me with such gratitude."
"Asher Norton."
"No more chatting with you. That fellow Liam Spencer will be bringing his wife soon. I have to gamble a few rounds with Christopher Scott and the rest before he arrives and win some drink money. Enjoy yourself and solve your problems alone. Oh, and remember to settle the bill, youâre in charge tonight."
"..." Henry Reid was speechless and felt like he had fallen into a trap.
What troubled him more was how he would face Noah Owen tomorrow; what if she exploded upon seeing the news...
Meanwhile, in Liam Spencerâs car, Maya Spencer sat silently in the front passenger seat, not saying a word.
She didnât want to come to the bar initially, but Liam Spencer insisted on taking her out as she had been cooped up at home for too long, and combined with Christopher Scottâs persistent calls, she had no choice but to come.
However, her mood remained low, especially since Ethan Turner had not long passed away, and she wasnât in the mood to smile.
In the driverâs seat, Liam Spencer looked at the unhappy Maya Spencer, held her small hand, and comforted her, "Maya, life has to go on, letâs try not to be so sad, okay?"
"Mm!" Maya Spencer replied perfunctorily.
Seeing she was still unhappy, Liam Spencer informed her in advance, "Noah Owen is pregnant. Henry Reid is hosting tonight, and being this upset doesnât look good."
"Noah Owen is pregnant?" Maya Spencerâs eyes widened suddenly, turning to stare at Liam Spencer intently.
Obviously, she was shocked by the sudden news of a baby. It was even more surprising to learn they had conceived so quicklyâit was astonishing.
Liam Spencer saw her mood shift and hurriedly echoed, "Yes! When one person leaves, another comes; itâs the cycle of life, a fair trade by heaven."
Liam Spencer seized the opportunity to comfort Maya Spencer, hoping she would quickly overcome her grief.
"Maybe thatâs it! I didnât expect Noah Owen to get pregnant so soon, what a surprise."
"Mm! We need to work hard in this regard, not to fall too far behind." Liam Spencer tried to shift the topic, encouraging thoughts of happiness and hope for the future.
Sure enough, hearing about the baby brightened Maya Spencerâs mood, helping her temporarily forget Ethan Turnerâs passing.
Looking at Liam Spencerâs hopeful expression, Maya Spencer cautiously reminded, "The doctor said I couldnât get pregnant for another six months, and even then, it would just be the medication clearing out; Iâm not sure if emotions will have an impact."
"Six months will pass quickly; itâs already been almost two. Youâll definitely be fine." Liam Spencer encouraged with optimism.
He could tell that Maya Spencer loved and valued children very much.
He thought, maybe when they finally had children, Maya Spencerâs depression might improve.
"Do you like children?" Maya Spencer asked.
"Yes! Very much." Liam Spencer confirmed.
Although he might not like other peopleâs children, he would naturally love his and Maya Spencerâs babyâit was his responsibility.
"Will you be a good dad?" At this moment, Maya Spencer couldnât help but imagine someone holding a child, finding the thought amusing.
"Of course, itâs an innate ability."
"Mm-hmm! Then weâll have a couple more." Talking about children always made Maya Spencer smile.
Noah Owenâs pregnancy was undoubtedly the best news recently, giving her something worth smiling about and a glimpse of hope in life.
Thinking of children, Maya Spencer began contemplating future life, eager to see Noah Owenâs child born.
In the bar, Christopher Scott saw Liam Spencer and Maya Spencer from afar, waving and calling out, "Hey, sweetheart, over here."
As the two walked over, Christopher Scott pouted and said pitifully, "Oh! Sweetheart, are you still upset? Come on, let Brother Scott tell you a joke."
"Christopher, what are you up to?" Liam Spencer saw Christopher Scott trying to take Maya Spencerâs hand and immediately stopped him.
"Third Brother, donât tell me you see me as a rival?" Christopher Scott furrowed his brow, eyeing the nervous Liam Spencer curiously.
"Iâm not wasting words with you. Maya canât leave my side." Liam Spencer bluntly explained.
"Maya." At this point, Henry Reid suddenly approached, standing awkwardly in front of Maya Spencer.
Meeting Maya Spencer again, he felt embarrassed. Just some time ago, he loved her deeply, but he was the first to have a child.
