No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 630 - 628 Are You Stupid? [5 Updates]

Maya Spencer, James Bennett, and Father Bennett were all taken aback, disbelieving that Sophia had brought Christopher Scott home for dinner. They were ready to comfort her, never expecting he actually showed up.

However, Liam Spencer alone furrowed his brows, glaring at Christopher with disdain, seemingly mocking him for his lack of resolve. To be won over by Sophia like this was truly disappointing to him.

Soon, Mother Bennett approached with a radiant smile, greeting, "Christopher, you’re here! Come, come, come! Quickly come in and sit."

Christopher was embarrassed by Mother Bennett’s enthusiastic hospitality, feeling uncomfortable being treated like a prospective son-in-law but was too polite to refuse her hospitality.

"Mom, these are the cake and gifts brought by Christopher," Sophia, excitedly, handed over some of the gifts to her mother.

Among these gifts, aside from the cake which was indeed bought by Christopher, the rest—bird’s nests, tea, and skincare products for Maya—were all prepared by Sophia on her own.

For Christopher, this was simply a casual gathering, and he only attended as a friend; he wasn’t Sophia’s boyfriend, so there was no need to tailor gifts for everyone’s needs—a cake was enough to show his goodwill.

Mother Bennett, looking at the items Sophia handed over, laughed heartily, saying, "It’s good that you’re here, why buy so many things, and even bother you two to carry them over, which is quite tiring."

Christopher, hearing Mother Bennett’s polite words, gave Sophia a glance of indifference, then smiled and explained, "Auntie, you’ve misunderstood; aside from the cake, the rest were bought by Sophia herself. I was just helping carry them from the car, it’s not tiring."

Christopher, though he accompanied Sophia, did not intend to go along with her plans, so he felt it necessary to clarify some things to avoid any misunderstandings by Sophia’s parents.

Mother Bennett listened to Christopher’s candid explanation, finding it both amusing and exasperating, quickly agreeing, "Sophia just loves to joke around, indeed!"

With Christopher’s explanation, everyone understood that he was not here as Sophia’s boyfriend, perhaps just a good friend or extending a courtesy to Liam.

On the sofa, Maya overheard Christopher’s straightforward explanation, sweating profusely, wondering what was going on between those two—were they together or not?

Liam’s lips curled into an indifferent smirk, thinking, he knew Christopher wasn’t easy to win over; Sophia definitely wouldn’t snare him so easily.

Liam also knew that Sophia, being easily distracted, shouldn’t catch him too easily. Otherwise, given her speed of changing her mind, getting dumped by her would be embarrassingly awkward; if he was to be caught by her, she should truly appreciate him.

When they returned, it was exactly four o’clock, with a couple of hours before dinner. So, they cut the cake Christopher brought and began sampling it along with tea.

The men were discussing work-related topics, while the women were listening in nearby.

Seeing Maya lounging lazily in Liam’s arms, Sophia was quite envious, longing for such closeness. But every time she tried to approach Christopher, he would avoid her; later, Christopher even hid beside Maya, playing games on her tablet with her.

Beside them, Sophia pouted in anger at Christopher’s guardedness, staring at him intently.

At six-thirty, after dinner was finished, Christopher intended to leave, but Sophia clung to him, refusing to let him go, insisting he stay and continue playing.

With Maya and Sophia’s insistence, Christopher had no choice but to stay and play mahjong with them.

Thus, the four of them gathered in the small sitting room of Sophia’s bedroom to play mahjong.

As Sophia sat at the table, she alternated between looking around her room and at Christopher across from her, feeling incredibly happy.

Having pursued so many guys, Christopher was the first to be this close to her, making Sophia feel content.

She thought, if she could wake up to see Christopher every morning, how blissful would that be?

"Sophia, are you daft? You’re playing a tile without picking it up, what are you trying to do?" Maya helplessly reminded the absent-minded Sophia. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Playing mahjong requires a good deal of focus; however, with Christopher sitting right across from Sophia, she appeared completely lovestruck, distracted from the game, discarding tiles irresponsibly. Maya found no joy in playing anymore, thinking the game pointless.

After two rounds, Liam pushed the tiles aside, saying dismissively, "I’m done playing."

Playing against a lovestruck Sophia had Liam nearly losing his patience, feeling it was a waste of time, leaving him exhausted and eager to rest.

Maya saw Liam yawning repeatedly, then held his hand, asking, "Brother, are you tired? If you’re tired, take a break first."

When James was discharged today, Maya had promised to stay at his villa for a few days; if she stayed, Liam naturally accompanied her.

"Since brother is tired, you two have a rest, I’ll head home then." Christopher seized any chance he got to make his exit.

"Wait! Christopher, it’s not even 8 o’clock yet! Stay a bit longer; my mom wanted to play mahjong earlier but didn’t want to interrupt us, I’ll call her to join in." Sophia was eager for Christopher to live there, refusing to let him go so soon.

With no other choice, Christopher stayed a bit longer, agreeing with Sophia that he’d leave by 9 o’clock.

As the rounds went on, Maya also found it boring and excused herself to check on Liam, making her escape.

Christopher felt delighted, thinking he’ll finally be able to leave, able to escape Sophia.

However, as he put on his jacket preparing to leave, Sophia suddenly called him back, saying, "Christopher, I have a gift for you. Wait for me."

"There’s no need, keep it for yourself." Gifts from Sophia meant more trouble, as he’d just pass them to someone else. It’s simpler not to accept them.

Sophia saw he was refusing her gift, quickly ran to the door, locked it, then spread her arms, blocking him, pouting unhappily, "If you don’t accept my gift, I won’t let you leave."

Seeing Sophia being unreasonable, Christopher gritted his teeth in annoyance but couldn’t lose his temper; this was, after all, her place, and the elders were around.

He took a deep breath, spoke angrily, "Alright, hurry up and fetch it."

Christopher was both angry and fatigued, eager to leave James’s villa and get a good night’s sleep.

Last night, he was restless worrying about today’s dinner, resulting in a sleepless night. Thankfully, it’s nearing an end.

Sophia saw Christopher had compromised, quickly entered her bedroom, retrieved a gift bag from the wardrobe, returned to the sitting room, wearing a mischievous grin.
