No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 557 - 555: It’s So Nice to Have You [2nd Update]

Chapter 557: Chapter 555: It’s So Nice to Have You [2nd Update]

Seeing that James Bennett had compromised, Liam Spencer breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I’ll talk to Maya. There’s no need to worry too much; she’s not an unreasonable girl. She just needs time to adjust." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

As for Maya Spencer’s background, Liam originally planned to wait a couple more years until Maya was more mature and her illness was fully cured before telling her gently.

However, that guy insisted on accompanying her to the conference that day, leaving him with no choice.

At the same time, Liam didn’t expect James Bennett to be so astute. With just one glance, he was certain that Maya was his daughter.

Liam thought maybe James’s feelings for Maya’s mother were so deep that he could recognize their child at a glance.

James listened to Liam’s consolation, exhaled deeply, and said, "Alright," as he had no reason not to agree to something good for Maya.

After finishing the conversation with James Bennett, Liam returned to the dining room and took Maya away.

...

In the car, Liam held tightly onto Maya’s little hand, never letting go for a moment.

Today, he had let Maya suffer grievances. If he hadn’t persuaded her to visit James Bennett’s house, she wouldn’t have faced so much embarrassment.

Feeling the warmth of Liam’s palm, Maya cautiously asked, "Third Brother, what did Chairman Bennett say? He’s not going to declare war on you, is he?"

"You little thing, I think you’re eager to see me go to war." Liam lifted her tiny hand to his lips and gently nibbled it.

"No way! I’m so angry my chest hurts." Maya denied it, and it was indeed true.

If it weren’t for Liam being involved, Maya would’ve fallen out with James long ago.

Three years ago, Henry chased her for so long, and she didn’t agree; how could she be with James? To Maya, it’s simply a fantasy.

Looking at Maya’s expression, Liam said, "Then let me rub it for you."

"Pfft..." Liam was amused by her, pinching her chin, he explained, "Chairman Bennett said you indeed misunderstood him. He considers you as a junior, was drawn to you, and had no inappropriate thoughts. If you’re willing, he would like to recognize you as a goddaughter."

"Tch! Nowadays, how many godfathers are good people? If I were to recognize one, it would only be my third brother as my godfather." Maya’s cheeky look was unmatched.

"Pfft..." Liam was amused by her again; he particularly liked Maya’s cheeky look, which made him happy.

Seeing Liam mocking her, Maya tightly grabbed his hand, saying, "Third Brother, no laughing."

"I’m serious, ever since I was little, I haven’t felt a father’s love. Even after returning to the Spencer Family, Edward paid no attention to me. Maybe because I’m not his biological daughter, he doesn’t value me! Still, I’m grateful he raised me."

"He doesn’t care about anyone." Liam honestly didn’t know if that man ever had emotions about anything.

Even though he knew he wasn’t his biological son, and Noah Owen was his biological daughter, he still wasn’t kind to Noah. Even when Noah was pregnant, he didn’t express a word of concern.

The same went for Jane Spencer and Elia Spencer, one imprisoned and the other in a mental institution, with no reaction from him whatsoever, as if they weren’t a family.

Liam truly couldn’t understand Edward Spencer. People said he was cold as ice, but he had never seen anyone more cold-blooded and ruthless than Edward.

Maya listened to Liam’s words of comfort, and earnestly said, "Third Brother, when I first met you, I never thought we’d be together, nor that you’d treat me so well. The love you give me fulfilled all my expectations of a father. As long as I have you, I’m content."

Normally, Maya wasn’t sentimental, but today, discussing this topic, she couldn’t help but express her true feelings.

"Maya, thank you for your approval." Those few words from Maya undoubtedly gave Liam the greatest affirmation. He hoped everything he was doing now was right and that he wasn’t hurting Maya.

"Third Brother, having you is truly wonderful." Maya hugged Liam’s arm, acting spoiled. Having Liam by her side made her feel incredibly happy.

Seeing the girl’s dependency on him, Liam swallowed the words he was about to say. He had intended to suggest she place her expectations for fatherly love on James Bennett.

However, Maya was too clever; if he let out even a hint, she would undoubtedly catch the clues.

If she hadn’t been influenced by Christopher Scott first, she probably would’ve figured it all out by now.

"Silly, aren’t you?" With that, Liam placed his right hand around her neck, pulling her closer, and placed a kiss on her small cheek.

Just as the two were being affectionate, Liam’s phone suddenly rang; it was Hannah calling.

Hannah rarely contacted Liam; her sudden call worried him that something had happened.

Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone without speaking, waiting for Hannah to say something.

On the other end, Hannah said, "Liam, your father is not well, he’s in the hospital. You should come take a look!"

Listening to Hannah’s call, Liam was stunned. Recently, he had forgotten about the Spencer Family. Hearing Hannah’s voice and her words about Edward being unwell, Liam didn’t know how to respond.

He didn’t want to see Edward, the man too irresponsible to even notice his own child being switched. He didn’t want to deal with such a person.

However, he still replied with an "Okay," agreeing to it.

After hanging up the phone, seeing Liam’s heavy expression, Maya cautiously asked, "Third Brother, what’s wrong?"

"Edward is ill, hospitalized." Liam answered nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Maya was also stunned; after pausing for a moment, she said, "Third Brother, let’s go see him. After all, he did raise us."

Though Edward hadn’t provided her with spiritual education, he indeed paid for her upbringing.

Thus, half an hour later, Liam took Maya to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the ward, Noah Owen and Kinsley were both present. Seeing Noah since surprised Liam and Maya.

Hannah carefully explained upon seeing Liam and Maya, "Lately, your dad’s been in a bad mood and has been drinking a lot, so much so that he ended up in the hospital. The doctor said he can’t drink anymore; try to persuade him."

"Even though he hasn’t taken care of you from childhood, he truly cares for you in his heart."

After the turmoil with Elia and Jane, Hannah had had enough of conflicts and now only hoped that one day Noah and Maya would calm down and help Elia get released from the mental institution.

She asked for nothing more.

On the hospital bed, Edward slowly opened his eyes, looking at the children in front of him, he turned his head with resignation. Three children, two called him Dad, but were not his biological children. The one that was his didn’t stay by his side.
