No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 639 - 637: World of Two People [4 updates]

Christopher Scott listened to Maya Spencer’s reproach and said indifferently, "How did I not give her face? I wasn’t mean to her. You know what your sister is like. If I’m nicer to her, she’ll definitely overthink it. I’m just hoping she’ll move on soon and stop wasting her time."

Christopher’s words made sense, but Maya felt heartache, so she pouted and rolled her eyes at him, snatching the chocolate from his plate.

Not far away, Sophia Bennett watched the interaction between Christopher and Maya, feeling a sour twinge in her heart. She wasn’t jealous of their good relationship, but because she knew Maya’s eye-roll meant she hadn’t succeeded in persuading him, which made her a little sad.

After enjoying the cake, there was some time left before dinner, so everyone played games at the club.

Maya took the little kid from the arms of the Owen family’s servant and played with him.

So, a few women gathered together to entertain the child.

"Little one, call me aunt, and I’ll give you a big red envelope," Maya said with a smile, leaving a kiss on the little one’s face. Ever since Noah Owen had a child, she often visited their home to help play with the child.

"Giggle...giggle..." The little one laughed heartily after being kissed by Maya.

"So happy, you like me so much, why don’t you call me auntie!" The little one laughed at Maya, and she blossomed with a smile.

"Mom..." However, the little one looked at her and called her mom.

"Hahaha..." His calling Maya mom made everyone laugh.

Immediately, Maya cheerfully said to Noah, "Noah, your son has betrayed you. He doesn’t want you as his mom; he wants me as his mom."

"Little one, turning your elbow outward, deal with him tonight," Noah said while making formula for the little one.

At the card table, Liam Spencer heard Maya’s joyous voice, and his heart filled with a bit of sourness.

In the past year, he and Maya had tried hard, but they still hadn’t conceived. He knew that even though Maya was having fun now, after parting with the little one in the evening, she would feel down again.

More than the child, Liam cared about Maya’s emotions. For him, nothing was more important than Maya’s happiness.

However, he couldn’t stop Maya from liking children, nor could he prevent her melancholy. Even though he urged her many times, Maya said it was fine, but the hint of sadness in her eyes could not be hidden.

Thinking about these things, Liam couldn’t focus on the game, so he called Hudson Moore to take his place.

He then leisurely walked over to the group of women and quietly sat beside Maya, reaching out his right hand to stroke her little face.

Maya felt the warmth of Liam’s fingertips, holding the little one in her arms, quickly turned around, and smilingly asked, "Third Brother, why aren’t you playing cards?"

Liam, hearing Maya’s question, stroked the little one’s face again and explained, "Their card skills are too poor, so I came to keep you company."

The little one in Maya’s arms, seeing Liam touching him, grinned at him and excitedly exclaimed, "Daddy!"

The little one’s call of daddy melted Liam’s heart. He really wanted to hug and kiss the little one, but he suppressed his excitement.

He feared that his affection for the child would make Maya feel worse and think too much, so he just stroked the little one’s face and calmly said, "Little rascal, your mouth is really sweet."

"Third Brother, look how much little Charlie can sweet-talk." Maya was overjoyed hearing the little one call Liam daddy and her mommy, yet she felt a bit of sorrow, thinking how wonderful it would be if she could have a child or two for Liam.

Before, Maya always wanted to have a bunch, but with no progress for over a year, she didn’t dare to dream too big. If she could have one, she would be content.

When Noah came over with the milk bottle, he resignedly shook his head, took the little one from Maya’s arms, and said, "Liam, Maya, shouldn’t you two get on with it now that Seven Murray is pregnant and Ella is married? You should hurry so the kids can grow up together and have fun."

Noah didn’t know Maya’s inner turmoil, thinking they hadn’t had a wedding, so they weren’t planning for children. Besides, Maya had just turned 24 today, still quite young, and everyone thought they just wanted to enjoy a couple more years of married life.

"Uh-huh! Got it!" Maya listened to Noah’s suggestion and glossed over it with a smile, but a few worries lingered in her heart, as she wasn’t too keen on marrying Liam.

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to marry Liam, but she wanted to wait until she got pregnant before having the wedding. As long as she wasn’t pregnant, she felt uneasy, fearing that when she had an abortion five years ago, she might have hurt her body, affecting future pregnancies. So every time Liam brought up marriage, she dodged the topic.

Liam’s feelings for her were clear, and even if she couldn’t have children, he would still marry her. Yet she didn’t want to burden Liam like that, and neither dared to go to the hospital, fearing that if the results weren’t what they hoped, Liam might not be able to hold onto her, so he pretended to be oblivious.

Liam sat beside her, watching Maya’s awkward smile, hugged her with a smile, and said rather pitifully, "Maya, saying you know means you can’t take it back."

"No, once you propose in a way that moves me, I’ll marry you." In a blink, Maya reneged again, feeling intense pain inside.

"Little one, what should I do to move you?" Liam wasn’t a romantic person and felt awkward making a grand gesture just to please Maya.

He believed in a simple, steady happiness and felt that love was a matter between two people. As long as Maya understood his goodness, he didn’t care about others’ opinions on his love.

Actually, as to why Maya hadn’t agreed to marry him yet, Liam understood inside but dared not address it outright.

"Alright, you two, stop being so sappy here. Maya, you’re still young, but Liam is already 30. He should settle down and have children," Noah had been hearing Charlotte Owen gossip about this matter recently, so he took the chance to nag Maya.

"Okay! I understand." Maya cautiously agreed, but still didn’t give a definitive answer.

"Third Brother, dinner is ready." Asher Norton, seeing Noah urging for marriage, informed everyone it was time to eat, creating a diversion for Liam and Maya.

Maya, hearing it was time to eat, immediately beamed with joy, thinking she could finally escape Noah’s nagging.

However, just as she was about to stand, Liam suddenly grabbed her wrist, knelt before her on one knee, and earnestly looked at her.

Startled by Liam’s action, Maya quickly pulled him and said, "Third Brother, what are you doing? Get up."

But Liam held her small hand, raised it to his lips, gently kissed it, and said, "Maya, will you marry me?"
