Chapter 409 - I Disagree
Chapter 409 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" commences with: So, she took a deep breath, held it, and grabbed Henry Reidâs collar again, gritting... Donât miss the next part!
So, she took a deep breath, held it, and grabbed Henry Reidâs collar again, gritting her teeth as she asked, "Henry Reid, are you making such a scene in the city to force me to give birth to this child?""Let me tell you, Henry Reid, donât daydream. Do you think by exposing my pregnancy, Iâll keep this child? Do you think you can threaten me that easily?"
As expected, as Henry Reid said, Noah Owen did not care at all; she didnât care what others thought of her.
Henry Reid looked at Noah Owen, who was firm in her decision, and her domineering aura made him angry too. He thought, itâs his child; canât he have a say in it? How ridiculous.
So he didnât lower himself anymore. Instead, he pried open Noah Owenâs little hand on his collar and pinched her chin, saying seriously and deliberately, "Noah Owen, donât think just because the child is in your womb you can do whatever you want. If you try to get rid of this child, I wonât agree, and you can forget about it."
Although Noah Owen and Henry Reid often argued, it was the first time she saw him so serious. His arrogance made her even angrier. She was never one to bow to pressure; if someone was arrogant, she would be even more so.
So she slowly removed Henry Reidâs hand, laughed coldly, and mocked, "Henry Reid, everyone knows about Noah Owenâs love life. Can you be any more shameless? But rest assured, the news will soon change to Henry Reid getting cheated on and wearing a green hat."
Actually, Noah Owen made it up. Since Henry Reid was shameless, she couldnât care less. Let everyone think he was cheated on and see how the distinguished young master of the Reid family could face it.
Henry Reid almost spat blood in anger at Noah Owenâs retort, his face turning pale, unable to utter a word for a long time.
Seeing Henry Reid fuming to the point of speechlessness, Noah Owen smirked coldly and mocked, "Young Master Reid, since when did we go from being...friends to lovers? Are you that willing to stick to me? Sorry, Iâm not interested."
Noah Owen was vicious and didnât care about mutual destruction. She would do whatever it took to make the other person uncomfortable. She didnât care about fame or fortune anyway.
"Noah Owen, youâre truly relentless. You come up with such underhanded tricks. Fine! Since you want to play, Iâll play with you to the end, and weâll see who laughs last."
After Henry Reid said that, he grabbed Noah Owen by the neck, dragged her to the dining table, and pressed her onto a chair, saying angrily, "Finish your meal, then we can continue to argue."
Noah Owen felt displeased seeing Henry Reidâs insistence on having the child.
Actually, when Henry Reid was in a good mood last night, she was moved, but when she saw the news this morning, she exploded. What made her angriest was that Henry Reid showed no remorse at all. He didnât realize that unilaterally announcing the news was extremely disrespectful to her, so she became more and more furious.
She also knew what he cared about was the child, just wanting her to pass on the Reid family lineage. Noah Owen, as proud as she was, couldnât accept such insincere concern, so she didnât eat the breakfast Henry Reid had bought for her. She crossed her arms and sat unmoving at the dining table, ignoring Henry Reid.
Watching the fuming woman who wouldnât eat, Henry Reid felt helpless, knowing well she was being stubborn on purpose, deliberately letting him see her torturing the child in her belly.
Finally, he felt resigned, and Maya Spencerâs words flashed through his mind. She had told him to genuinely treat Noah Owen well, to cater to her, and she would feel it.
As for Noah Owenâs thoughts, he somewhat understood; this woman surely thought he just wanted her to bear a child and didnât genuinely care for her.
In fact, passing on the lineage wasnât important to him. Heâs still young, no need to rush that. But he cared about this child, didnât want it to be aborted since it carried his blood. As for his feelings for Noah Owen, he hadnât considered them seriously before.
But knowing she was pregnant, he did seriously consider their relationship. Marrying Noah Owen was a good option; he didnât reject or dislike it. Despite the womanâs flaws and aloofness, he was willing to spend a lifetime with her, perhaps because of the feelings developed over time.
Now, seeing Noah Owen so sulky, his mood wasnât any better.
He then took a deep breath, pulled out a chair next to Noah Owen, sat beside her, picked up the breakfast on the table, opened the lid, let it cool a bit, scooped a spoonful, and said to her, "Here! Open your mouth, have breakfast."
"Ha! Feeling sorry, are you?" Noah Owen sneered coldly, not intending to compromise with him.
Seeing her indifferent expression, Henry Reid sighed, nodded, and said helplessly, "Yes, I handled this wrong. I shouldnât have announced your pregnancy without discussing it with you. That was very disrespectful."
Then, he raised his eyebrows, saying embarrassedly, "But you know, when people drink too much, their emotions get a bit high, and they end up saying and doing the wrong things. I was wrong this time, forgive me!"
At that moment, Henry Reid hated Asher Norton for stirring up the news, forcing him to humble himself and admit his fault.
Henry Reidâs softer attitude made Noah Owenâs anger subside much, but her expression remained sour as she coldly laughed and said, "You had fun getting drunk at the bar, messed up my kitchen, and left me to clean up at home. Arenât you ashamed? Since you had so much fun, let me show you what itâs like to laugh too soon."
After venting her grievances, Noah Owen suddenly stood up from the table, walked to the living room, grabbed her bag, and headed for the door.
Seeing this, Henry Reid quickly caught up, grabbed her wrist, and asked, "Noah Owen, what are you doing? Havenât you had enough?"
Noah Owen immediately shook off Henry Reidâs hand, turned around, coldly laughed, and said, "Arenât you happy? Showboating, arenât you? Then let you taste the pain. Iâll go get rid of the child right now; see how smug you can be?"
"Hey! Enough already! Why cause a scene? Is it fun? Whatâs the child done to you, itâs a life too. You donât want it, but I can raise it, isnât that okay? Just consider it doing a good deed. Now go eat breakfast." Henry Reid felt, every time he tried to be serious, women were hard to handle, be it Maya or Noah.
Could it be heâs cursed to like difficult women?
"Donât even think about it." Noah Owen was stubborn, the more Henry Reid wanted the child, the more she resisted.
When she reached out to open the door, she suddenly froze. She saw Madam Reid at her door, holding a thermos box, smiling warmly, just about to knock.
