Chapter 635 - You Asked for It
Chapter 635 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother" begins revealing surprises: Liam Spencer listened to Christopher Scottâs denial, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You and... Read on to find out!
Liam Spencer listened to Christopher Scottâs denial, glanced at him sideways, and said, "You and Seven have missed seven years. Whatever happened during those seven years is something you should be prepared for. The past is the past, and thereâs no need to hold on stubbornly.""People should look forward, not dwell on the past. Christopher, I believe you understand."
Since Seven Murray got engaged, Christopher Scott has pretended to be unaffected, but he has changed a lot. These days, aside from being busy with work, he hardly cares about other things. He seems gloomy, and let alone the playful antics of the past, even his smiles have become rare.
Christopher Scott listened to Liam Spencerâs comforting words and awkwardly smiled, saying, "I know."
Christopher Scott also knows that he shouldnât be so entangled anymore, and should let go of the past and forget Seven Murray. But he simply canât forget. When he calms down, all he sees in his mind is Seven Murrayâs shadow, always regretting how he didnât keep her at the time.
So, he just keeps himself busy, occupied to the point of having no time to think about Seven Murray, and only goes to sleep when his eyes canât stay open anymore.
Despite that, he often finds himself at the brink of sleep, and involuntarily starts thinking about Seven Murray, waking up abruptly, and then tossing and turning through the long night.
He has considered numbing himself with alcohol or finding other women to temporarily forget his worries, but doing so has only made him feel more empty and increasingly lonely.
Liam Spencer watched the awkward expression on Christopher Scottâs face and didnât continue to persuade him.
Liam Spencer knew that no matter how much he spoke, it wouldnât be as effective as Christopher Scott seeing things clearly and letting go himself. He could very much relate to that feeling; during those three years when Maya Spencer wasnât around, he had endured the same.
But he was luckier than Christopher Scott because he waited for Maya to come back.
Meanwhile, in Sophia Bennettâs bedroom, Maya Spencer looked at Sophia Bennett, who was sitting on the sofa crying inconsolably, and was getting anxious. She had said a bunch of comforting and harsh words, yet this person kept crying.
Finally, she scolded irritably, "Why are you crying? Isnât this all caused by your own actions? Canât you think of something positive?"
"But I didnât mean to, I really didnât mean to. How could Christopher Scott say such harsh things?" Sophia Bennettâs tears couldnât be held back at the thought of Christopher Scottâs harsh words.
"So what to do? He scolded you already, itâs not like he can take back what he said!" Maya Spencer wasnât good at comforting people, especially someone who was prone to crying.
"He even called me cheap. Where am I cheap? I didnât do anything to him. Was it worth him getting so angry?" The more Sophia Bennett thought about it, the more upset she became and cried harder, making Mayaâs head hurt.
So, Maya Spencer coldly said, "You drugged him, thatâs being cheap. You brought this on yourself, canât blame anyone else."
"..." Sophia Bennett listened to Maya Spencerâs straightforward scolding and was speechless, the tears suddenly stopped, she couldnât cry anymore.
She had never seen anyone console like this before, this wasnât consolation, it was clearly rubbing salt in the wound.
When Maya Spencer saw that Sophia Bennett wasnât crying anymore, her eyes widened and she looked at her earnestly, saying, "Thatâs just it. If I were Christopher Scott, Iâd definitely call you a cheap woman and wouldnât like a woman like you. You should really reflect!"
When Maya Spencer saw that by scolding Sophia Bennett she stopped crying, she simply went along with it and continued to scold her, as it was her own mistake, after all.
Sophia Bennett listened to Maya Spencerâs scolding, took a deep breath, and tossed the crumpled paper in her hand into the trash can with a "snap," angrily saying, "Whatâs so great about Christopher Scott? Just because I like him, he bullies me? Sophia Bennett swears from now on, I wonât like him anymore, wonât act cheap towards him again, and from now on weâll be like strangers, wonât be nice to him, wonât chase after him."
Seeing the person give up on Christopher Scott, Maya Spencer found it puzzling and thought to herself, the sun must have risen from the west.
Yet, she believed Sophia Bennett as she saw her speak so seriously with determined conviction, after all, she was a person of fleeting interests. Meeting trouble, naturally one would retreat, this is good, it frees not only Christopher Scott but also herself.
Maya Spencer found Sophia Bennettâs relentless pursuit of Christopher Scott tiring even as an observer, tiring on behalf of Sophia Bennett. But knowing when to give up and not to entangle is commendable and worthy of congratulations. Everyone can meet without awkwardness, wonât act like enemies, and she wonât have to be dragged by Sophia Bennett to help her chase after Christopher Scott anymore, itâs truly delightful for all.
The feelings between Maya Spencer and Liam Spencer also came about effortlessly. When Maya noticed that she liked Liam Spencer, he was already by her side, so she couldnât understand Sophia Bennettâs relentless pursuit.
So, she casually said, "Yeah, you should have given up already. Why let yourself live so tiredly? Find someone easier to chase!"
"..." Sophia Bennett listened to Maya Spencerâs comfort and was utterly speechless, thinking, canât she say something to encourage her to persevere, maybe there will be results? This Maya Spencer really doesnât know how to comfort people.
After venting about Christopher Scott, Sophia Bennett felt much better and didnât bother complaining to Maya Spencer anymore. After all, she didnât like hearing what Maya said, which made her feel worse. Better to be alone, it wouldnât be so depressing.
So, she immediately stood up from the sofa, scratched her head, and said, "Forget it, anyway, Iâve decided not to like him anymore. Iâm going to sleep now, Maya, you should rest early too!"
"Phew..." Maya Spencer saw that Sophia finally let her off the hook, stopped dragging her to vent, and let out a sigh of relief, stretched lazily, and followed Sophia out of the bedroom.
After Maya returned to her own bedroom, it wasnât until 11 p.m. that Liam Spencer came back. After Liam showered, changed clothes, and lay down beside her, she held him tightly and went to sleep.
However, in the guest room, Sophia Bennett was suffering from insomnia, tossing and turning in bed, reflecting on her actions that day, and on Christopher Scottâs anger towards her.
Sophia Bennett has pursued many men, but Christopher Scott was the first to make her sleepless, even though she had just vowed in front of Maya Spencer to give up on him, his image still lingered in her mind, impossible to erase.
As the sky gradually brightened, Sophia Bennettâs anger towards Christopher Scottâs scolding slowly faded, realizing she had gone too far the previous day.
After a night of contemplation, Sophia Bennett still took the phone out from under her pillow, found Christopher Scottâs number, and sent him a text. This was an opportunity she had struggled to obtain, and it would be a shame to waste it.
So, she shamelessly sent Christopher Scott a message.
At that time, in Christopher Scottâs bedroom, he had been awake all night, hearing the phoneâs vibration, furrowed his brows tightly, took the phone from the side cabinet.
When he saw Sophia Bennettâs name, his weary expression instantly sank. He was speechless about Sophia Bennett; after he scolded her like that yesterday, did she have no sense of pride?
Spoiler alert: Sophia Bennett will change completely for Christopher Scott, and tomorrowâs storyline will enter a new phase, reaching its final stage. Ming Ge will propose tomorrow.
