No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 535 - 533: Feels Good [5th Update]

Ian Hobbs listened to the story of Christopher Scott and Seven Murray, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Back in school, I always had a secret crush on Seven, but you two were recognized as a couple, so I always pretended to be indifferent to her, pretending I didn’t like her."

"A few days ago, I heard my mom mentioning that Seven was going on a blind date, and I was thrilled."

"Christopher, this time I won’t hold back, won’t consider our old classmates’ relationship. We’ll compete fairly. Do you have any objections?"

Christopher stared intently at Ian, looking at the brilliant smile at the corner of the man’s mouth. He wanted to dislike him, but somehow he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

So, he took a deep breath, looked at Ian, and said with a smile, "No objections. Having an opponent like you makes me both anxious and pleased."

Christopher’s smile was as bright, yet carried a hint of bitterness.

After lunch, Seven looked at Christopher, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said, "Christopher, I’m going on blind dates, you wouldn’t be watching me all the time, would you? You wouldn’t even interfere with my dates with Ian, right? You said earlier that you’re just helping me for reference, and Ian has your approval. Can you now gracefully step back?"

Seven’s voice grew quieter as she spoke, and by the time she said "gracefully step back," it was almost inaudible.

Seeing Seven give him the boot, Christopher’s lips curled into a helpless smile, and he said, "Ian, Seven just had some wine, don’t let her drive."

"Okay!" The man nodded with a smile.

Then, Christopher smiled at Seven, turned around, and walked towards the open-air parking lot.

After Christopher left, Seven got into Ian’s car, took a deep breath, and with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Ian, sorry about that."

"No need! It’s nice to meet up with old classmates. Are you going back to the company now? I’ll take you." Ian was very tactful. He knew that Seven had just used the date as an excuse to get rid of Christopher.

Ian understood the feelings between Christopher and Seven.

He knew that pursuing Seven was a major project, and he wasn’t in a hurry. He would give Seven enough space to forget Christopher and start a new life.

So, he didn’t take advantage of the situation by using a blind date as an excuse to take Seven out. Instead, he offered to take her home so she could have some quiet time to calmly think about her relationship with Christopher and to think about what kind of person he was, and whether she could consider continuing with him.

Hearing Ian say he would take her back, Seven frowned slightly, turned her head slowly, and stared into Ian’s eyes, asking, "Wasn’t that just a classmates’ gathering? Isn’t our blind date just beginning?"

Seeing Ian again, the man’s generosity made her feel relaxed and willing to stay with him.

Hearing Seven’s question, Ian smiled broadly, pursed his lips, and nodded, saying, "Yes! That was just a classmates’ gathering, and the blind date is just starting. Miss Murray, would you like to watch a movie, stroll down the street, or visit the park?"

"I want to watch a movie first, then visit the park," Seven said seriously.

She had been busy with corporate matters for some time. Then she started getting busy with entrepreneurship. Today, she inexplicably felt liberated, put down all her worries, and just wanted to have a good rest day, watch a movie with this old classmate she hadn’t seen in a long time, chat a bit. She truly enjoyed this feeling.

Being with Ian felt better than being with Christopher.

When she was with Christopher, she inexplicably felt a sense of oppression, constantly paying attention to his every move to prevent other girls from approaching or stealing him. Perhaps it was because she liked Christopher too much at the time that she felt this way.

However, when she was with Ian, there was no pressure on her at all; she didn’t care what kind of eyes others used to look at her, didn’t care if someone would watch Ian.

Thus, the date continued until 10 PM, when Ian finally drove Seven home.

When Ian opened the car door for Seven, she politely said, "Thank you!"

Looking at the girl’s politeness, Ian smiled mischievously and asked, "Miss Murray, what’s your first impression of Mr. Hobbs? Can we continue our dates?"

The man’s smile was very clean, and each of his movements, every word he spoke, made Seven feel comfortable and relaxed, unlike Christopher, who always carried an air of presumed confidence and self-importance.

Seven felt that, as she got older, she preferred gentle men rather than the wild and unrestrained kind like Christopher. Christopher was too extravagant, and she couldn’t handle him.

So, she smiled at Ian and said, "Very good impression, we can continue dating."

Receiving Seven’s approval, Ian’s smile became even more delightful, and Seven couldn’t help but keep looking.

Back in school, she almost never saw Ian smile. In her impression, this fair-skinned guy didn’t seem to know anything besides doing exercises.

Watching Seven’s focused gaze, Ian pursed his lips, feeling a bit shy.

Then, he gently hugged Seven and said softly, "Miss Murray, I had a great time on our date. Looking forward to our next date. Now, you need to go home and rest." His commands were extremely gentle.

"Okay! I’ll head back first, drive safely," Seven waved her little hand to say goodbye to Ian.

Ian watched Seven go inside before returning to his car. As he started the vehicle, he recalled the last look Seven gave him, and a warm smile appeared on his face, making him very handsome.

Not far away, Christopher saw the two return so late, slumping back in his chair, feeling like he was about to collapse.

He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know how to deal with Seven, deal with Ian. He felt troubled.

In the living room of Seven’s house, Madam Murray saw Oliver Murray return and immediately asked, "Seven, you came back so late today, did you find someone you like?"

"Yes! That Ian, he’s my classmate, the son of Secretary Hobbs. He seems pretty good, and I’ll continue from there." Seven explained while heading upstairs.

"Thank heavens, finally someone suitable," Madam Murray heard that Seven found someone and clasped her hands, pacing back and forth in the living room, thanking all the gods.

In the bedroom, just as Seven took off her coat, Maya Spencer’s call came through.

Picking up, Seven heard Maya eagerly ask, "Seven, how did it go today?"

"Ran into a classmate, seems pretty good, will continue seeing him."

On the other end, hearing Seven’s honesty, Maya’s brows shot up, pitifully staring at Liam Spencer on the edge of the bed, as if reporting that Christopher was out of the running.

Not long ago, she accompanied Seven on blind dates mainly to help Christopher by observing the rivals.

She never expected that today, by not going, Seven would find someone.

Suddenly, she felt a pang of sympathy for Christopher.
