Chapter 429 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" kicks off with: "Hmm hmm!" Maya nodded, lifting her right hand to start a new round of the... Continue reading!
"Hmm hmm!" Maya nodded, lifting her right hand to start a new round of the game.As her arm landed on the table and she removed the cover, she felt foolishly disappointed again ā she had rolled a one.
Looking at the single dot in the dice cup, Maya bit her lip and couldnāt help but smile foolishly. Turning to Liam, she said with a laugh and tears in her eyes, "I might as well go buy a lottery ticket."
Liam watched her face, amused by her laugh, her furrowed brow, and the helpless glint at the corner of her eye, and shook his head with a smile.
After laughing, he held Mayaās little hand, gently slapped the back of her hand twice, and said, "How can your hand be this unlucky?"
"Ouch! It hurts!" Maya pouted immediately and cried out in pretend pain as Liam playfully hit her.
In truth, it didnāt hurt at all. She was just being dramatic, enjoying Liamās indulgent gaze upon her, loving how his sweet reprimands made her feel cherished, so she unabashedly acted spoiled even in public.
Seeing her upset, Liam quickly grabbed her hand that had been hit, brought it to his lips, and kissed it twice, comforting her, "A couple of kisses from me will make it all better."
"Young master! Young master! Youāre overdoing it!"
"Exactly, if you keep this up, youāll have to give wives to all the bachelors here."
"Liam, enough is enough. Any more of this, and weāll die of envy."
Whenever the two got close, the crowd would start to clamor. Not even Liam was allowed to hurt their tender hearts.
"Liam, youāre going too far," even Xavier started to protest, although he hadnāt joined in on this silly game.
Seven watched Liamās change for Maya. Her perception of him dropped to new lows time after time. The last time she saw Liam was a year ago, and back then, he would never have believed that within just a year, he would turn into someone who flaunts his wife so much.
Although he still sported a sour face towards others, as soon as his gaze landed on Maya, he seemed to change completely ā there was room for no one else in his eyes.
Seven thought of Maya as beautiful, spoiled, and somewhat cool, which made her similar to Liam in a way. Could this be that classic case of being kindred spirits in their quirks?
In sum, this time upon her return, Liam completely surprised her.
As she looked back at Liam, she saw him tenderly ignoring everyone, focused intently on Maya, and as the girl offered him an ice cream, he immediately opened his mouth to eat it.
Seven thought to herself, love is indeed mysterious ā capable of changing a person so thoroughly. Well, she admitted, she once believed she was very fortunate as well until she realized it all led to regret.
As she recalled unhappy memories, Seven took a deep breath, raised her arm, shook the dice cup, and finally revealed her first six of the night, making Hudson take a break for this round.
However, when Liam couldnāt help Maya, she kept rolling between 1, 2, and 3.
After several rounds, Liam could no longer stand it, lifting his right hand to pinch Mayaās chin and said with feigned tragedy, "Maya, my mouth is numb from the cold."
Upon hearing this, Maya quickly pushed the dice to the center of the table, saying, "Iām not playing anymore. If I keep this up, Iāll accidentally ruin you."
"Maya, you were impressive, making Liam admit defeat!" Seven watched Liamās lips losing their rosy color and couldnāt help but giggle, thinking, this guy really goes above and beyond to make his girl happy.
"Haha!" Maya responded awkwardly to Sevenās joking remark with a forced smile.
After laughing, she quickly turned around, cupped Liamās face with both hands, and stared into his eyes.
At that moment, Liamās cheeks were ice-cold. Maya felt a pang of sympathy, so she stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips to warm them.
Liam felt the girlās care and passion, leaning forward, pressing Maya against the table, motionlessly, switching from passive to active, savoring the sweetness and softness of the girl.
Their intimate movements disrupted the match. Witnessing such an intense scene made it hard for anyone to focus on the game; naturally, everyone was more interested in the spectacle. Jane and Aron didnāt let them cause a commotion at the wedding, but at least they could tease them here.
As a result, cheers erupted in support.
"Go Liam, itās been 2 minutes!"
"Go, go Liam! Aim for 10 minutes."
"Liam, donāt be too domineering, try every kissing technique and give everyone a tutorial."
"Pfft..." Amidst the jeers, Maya couldnāt resist laughing, nudging Liam back slightly.
Then, she gently stroked Liamās face, asking, "Is it still cold? Still numb?"
"HO...O...O...Once more!"
"Young master, hurry up and get married! When you do, weāre sure itāll be a blast."
After their kiss, everyone began urging them to marry.
However, Liamās gaze remained on Maya, seeing her gentle eyes and caring questions, he only wanted to go home quickly to savor her sweetness.
Thus, he smiled and took Mayaās hand, saying, "You all have fun, weāre heading home."
"Liam, whatās the rush?" Hudson remarked coldly.
Seeing him lead the teasing, Maya turned around, playfully pointing at Hudson, threatening, "Hudson, Iāll remember this on your tab."
"Sister-in-law, donāt! I was joking." Normally, Christopher would bear this kind of threat, but today he was upset, so Maya targeted Hudson instead.
Faced with Hudsonās plea, Maya just gave him a mischievous smile and walked away.
After Liam and Maya left, the game continued for a few rounds before shifting to a new game.
Seven, despite not enjoying such gatherings, was newly returned to the country and needed to reconnect with many people, so the party benefited her, and she stayed, mingling to get reacquainted.
Not far away, Christopher watched the girlās smooth handling skills, a mocking sneer hung on his lips, thinking, even the proud and haughty Seven had become worldly.
What frustrated him more was even as Seven greeted everyone with poise and smiles, she specifically ignored him.
Meanwhile, in Liamās car, Maya sat in the passenger seat, raised her left hand to Liamās face, asking, "Youāre not really frozen, are you?"
Liam watched the girlās worried expression, grabbed her small hand, bit her finger, and said with a pout, "Hmm, how does Maya plan to make it up to me?"
