Discover the story in "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" Chapter 420: Charlotte looked back on her attitude towards Maya Spencer and felt a bit embarrassed. She... Continue exploring!
Charlotte looked back on her attitude towards Maya Spencer and felt a bit embarrassed. She twisted and turned, blaming, "Why didnāt you tell me earlier when these things happened?""Now is not too late; Maya is not someone who stirs up trouble. If you donāt provoke her, she wonāt argue with you."
"So what youāre saying is, my aunt is the one who stirs up trouble?"
"Letās eat." Liam Spencer said as he walked out of the study.
He didnāt tell Charlotte about Mayaās depression because, knowing Charlotteās personality, she would definitely find an excuse to break him and Maya up. He didnāt want more trouble.
A moment later, the two walked one after the other back to the dining room.
At the dining table, looking at Charlotte whose expression had softened considerably, Maya was confused and bewildered. When he turned to look at Liam, the man was picking fish bones for her.
"Sister Mason, Maya loves sweet and sour spare ribs, can you get the kitchen to add a dish for her?" At this moment, Charlotte looked at Maya and couldnāt help feeling a bit sympathetic, as if she was making up for Liamās previous mistake.
Instantly, Maya was shocked, biting her chopsticks, her big eyes staring straight at Charlotte, completely bewildered.
She wondered, did the sun rise from Charlotteās bed today? This woman actually cared about her and even added a dish.
Startled, she bit the chopsticks, looked at Charlotte and asked with a sarcastic smile, "You wouldnāt be poisoning me, would you?"
"Pfft..." Across the dining table, Henry Reid burst into laughter.
Liam Spencer, seeing someoneās neurotic appearance, placed the deboned fish meat into her bowl and said with a mix of tears and laughter, "Maya, eat your meal."
Charlotte, seeing Mayaās unappreciative manner, didnāt get angry, and instead said nonchalantly, "Didnāt you say youāre with my family? Since weāre family, thereās no need for formalities."
Maya still hadnāt recovered from Charlotteās words, when she continued, "Noah and Henryās wedding dates have been set, Liam, why donāt you and Maya do it together as well! Will save the trouble another time."
"Cough cough cough..." Maya was frightened now, immediately covering her mouth and coughing, thinking, is Charlotte out of her mind? She was just giving her the cold shoulder a moment ago, and now sheās urging for marriage. The change is too sudden, so sudden that she couldnāt quite accept it. Besides, she has no plans to marry anytime soon.
Seeing Maya cough, Liam immediately patted her back, looking towards Charlotte, saying, "Auntie, we have our arrangements for this."
Liam knows that within this year, wanting Maya to get married is impossible, at least until after the year, because Ethan Turner has just passed away not long ago, so he decided to block Charlotte for now.
Maya listened to the conversation between them, only then realizing that Charlotteās attitude change towards her must have been because Liam said something to her upstairs just now.
Enough! Enough! She was too lazy to chase the reason, one less enemy is better than one more enemy. At least in the future between her and Liam, Charlotte wouldnāt be causing problems anymore.
Charlotte, seeing Liam not appreciating her goodwill, impatiently rolled her eyes at him and said coldly, "If you donāt appreciate it, never mind, I donāt care enough to worry."
Maya looked at Charlotteās impatient manner and couldnāt help but secretly smile.
Meanwhile, in Ethan Turnerās apartment!
Ella Turner sat on the sofa, hugging her and Ethanās photo album, dumbly staring, dumbly flipping.
As she thought of the days with Ethan, the expression on her face grew heavier, and her eyes became colder.
Even though she promised Maya to hand the evidence to the police, she felt very ironic about the result, and didnāt believe it.
"In S City, does anyone dare to touch Liam Spencer?"
"If he can get rid of Lillian Morris, what is killing an Ethan without any background?"
The words that woman spoke at the tea house kept swirling in her mind, making her mood, already settled, plummet again.
She couldnāt forgive the crime Liam committed, couldnāt forgive him for laying a cruel hand on her brother.
"Brother, donāt worry, I will definitely avenge you." Ella stared at the photo of Ethan, her eyes involuntarily reddening.
"Knock knock knock..." Suddenly, the door was knocked on, Ella grabbed the phone on the sofa, looking at the missed call messages, she knew it was Elijah Reed.
She took a deep breath, gently put the photo album on the coffee table, slowly stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the foyer.
Not looking through the peephole to see who it was, she weakly opened the door.
As the door opened, Elijah originally wanted to ask why she didnāt answer her phone, but upon seeing her desolate eyes, he swallowed the words, followed behind her, slowly walked into the living room, and gently placed the night snack he was carrying on the coffee table.
When he saw the photo album on the coffee table, he hurriedly reached out with his right hand to move the night snack further away, avoiding accidentally spilling it on the album.
Ella, seeing Elijahās subtle actions, glanced at him with the corner of her eye, still not speaking to him, she steadily walked to the fridge, opened the fridge door, took out a bottle of purified water, went back to the living room, and handed it to Elijah.
Elijah, looking at the girlās unsmiling appearance, was remarkably cautious and didnāt dare to speak; he feared saying the wrong thing might upset her.
Thus, the atmosphere in the living room was awkward.
On the sofa, Ella stared straight at Elijah, wanting to see something from his eyes, but seeing only his awkwardness, she interpreted it as guilty, embarrassed, because he was hiding something from her, thatās why he showed such a flustered expression.
She stared intensely at Elijah for a moment, coldly and clearly explained, "Earlier I was looking at photos, got caught up, didnāt hear the phone ring."
Elijah, listening to the girlās explanation, smiled at her, then scratched his head, saying, "I thought something happened, so I rushed over, um... have you eaten dinner? I brought you some food."
After work, Elijah made several phone calls to Ella, but she didnāt answer. It scared him, thinking she might do something foolish, so he hurriedly rushed over.
On the way, he worried he might be overthinking, thinking perhaps Ella was just in a bad mood and didnāt want to answer the phone, so he brought her some night snack, fortunately, Ella was home without anything happening, otherwise, he wouldnāt know what to do.
Ella listened to Elijahās explanation and turned her gaze to the food on the coffee table.
Then, she turned around, smiled at Elijah and said, "Havenāt eaten yet."
"Just in time, eat it while itās hot!" Elijah finally found a topic he could talk about.
He discovered that ever since Ella returned from home, she had become much more distant from him, often staring coldly at him for no reason, sometimes staring so intensely it was chilling.
But he always believed she was just in a bad mood, still immersed in the grief of Ethanās death, not realizing she was already suspicious of him, suspecting heās deceiving her.
