No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 654 - 652: I Get Tired Too [4 Updates]

Sophia listened to Maya Spencer’s rambling, let out a long breath, and said with utmost seriousness, "Maya, I’ve decided to give up on Christopher Scott."

"What?" Sophia’s decision came too quickly, leaving Maya stunned.

She still remembered how this guy had sworn with conviction to win over Christopher Scott. How could she suddenly want to give up? Was it because of Sarah River’s appearance?

Maya thought to herself, there’s no way Christopher Scott would like Sarah River. Couldn’t Sophia see that he’s deliberately using Sarah River to provoke her? But this might be for the best. After all, Christopher Scott doesn’t like Sophia either, and giving up early would be nothing but beneficial for her, saving her a lot of time. After all, a girl’s youth only lasts these few years.

Sophia looked at Maya’s astonishment, sighed helplessly, and explained, "Yesterday, I met with Christopher Scott. I gave him three minutes to quietly think it over, to see if he truly didn’t want to give me a chance. He still disliked me as always."

"Maya, I’ve reached a point of helplessness. I get tired too. Every day I send him texts, and he always responds with just two words. He won’t even have a word with me on the phone. Tell me, what am I doing? If he doesn’t like me, he doesn’t like me. Why should I keep pestering and making both of us uncomfortable?"

Sophia was initially prepared for a seven-year war of resistance. Christopher Scott had waited for Seven Murray for seven years; she would wait for him for seven years. But unexpectedly, Sarah River suddenly appeared and overtook her. Sophia completely lost confidence in herself, so she chose to give up and fulfill their relationship.

No! She had never had Christopher Scott, so how could she even talk about fulfillment? She just suddenly gained self-awareness, that’s all.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile once again appeared on Sophia’s lips.

Listening to Sophia’s explanation and looking at the no-longer-arrogant Sophia in front of her, Maya felt a pang of heartache. She opened her arms and gently hugged her, patting her back, comforting, "Sophia, you’re excellent and not at all unreasonable. Letting go of Christopher Scott will only open more opportunities for you. You have to have confidence in yourself."

"You silly sister, I know. I won’t lower myself over Christopher Scott again. Although it still hurts now, I know that in some days, I’ll be fine. I’ll eventually forget him."

Although Sophia said this, she knew in her heart that Christopher Scott had taken root deeply within her heart and couldn’t be erased in this lifetime.

Although Sophia had pursued many people before, it was all just folly. Whenever she saw something good in others, she’d happily chase after them. But if she found any flaw, she’d immediately lose interest.

However, Christopher Scott was the only person she had seriously liked. His good sides, his flaws, his devotion, and his ruthlessness—all of it she saw. Even if Christopher Scott disliked her, was cruel to her, she still liked him. She couldn’t control her feelings for him.

Hearing Sophia’s words, Maya just felt that she had become much more sensible and gentle than before. She couldn’t understand, did Christopher Scott really have no heart? A woman changed so much for him, and he couldn’t see even a little bit?

Maya felt helpless, but matters of the heart could not be forced on anyone. Aside from comforting Sophia, there was nothing more she could do.

So, in the following days, she stayed at Sophia’s apartment. Even though the two didn’t have much verbal exchange, she stayed there to keep Sophia company, making her feel less lonely.

On the fourth day, it seemed like Sophia had emerged from her sorrow. She had sorted out her emotions, buried her deep feelings for Christopher Scott deep within her, choosing not to think about them or touch them.

She told herself that she needed to cheer up, as life was still beautiful.

So, that morning, she got up early, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and then woke Maya up.

Seeing the rejuvenated Sophia in front of her, Maya’s eyes widened in surprise. Her first reaction was that this guy had once again changed her mind, deciding to pursue Christopher Scott again.

But Sophia just smiled and said to her, "Maya, you’ve been here with me for three days. Liam Spencer must be itching to peel my skin off. You should go back. I’m okay now."

Hearing this ’I’m okay,’ Maya felt inexplicably confused. What did ’okay’ really mean? Did it mean she had regained her composure, or was she going back to her old ways?

Sophia saw the doubt in Maya’s eyes and laughed, "I’m really okay, and I won’t go after Christopher Scott. I’ll go shopping, get a haircut, buy some clothes. You should go back to deal with Liam today. I’ll come over to your place tomorrow."

In the blink of an eye, Sophia had come back to life and also let go of her feelings for Christopher Scott.

Maya looked at this person, feeling a bit of respect for her in the moment, thinking to herself, You’re quite decisive! Able to pick it up, able to let it go. No wonder you share the same blood as me.

A moment later, the two walked downstairs, each getting into a car. Maya went home to find Liam, while Sophia headed to the department store.

...

An hour later, in a salon inside the department store, the hairstylist was stunned while listening to Sophia’s request, asking in disbelief, "Miss Bennett, did I hear you right? Did you just say you wanted a short haircut?" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Sophia’s hair had always been treated at this salon. All of the dozens of employees here knew how she cherished her hair like her life. Every time she had her hair ends trimmed, she’d repeatedly remind the stylist not to cut too much, just a tiny bit. Now, saying she wanted to cut it all off, the stylist was dumbfounded.

Listening to the stylist’s surprise, Sophia flipped through a magazine in her hand and said, "Yes, just cut it like this."

Sophia had chosen a very sweet ear-length bob with bangs. Her face shape was very suitable for this hairstyle, making her look several years younger, and it was completely different from her previous look.

The stylist stared at the short hairstyle Sophia pointed at, his hands trembling, still unwilling to believe it.

But since Sophia wanted to cut it, whether he believed it or not, he had to do it.

To avoid taking responsibility later, the hairstylist brought out a pen and paper and asked Sophia to write a disclaimer, stating that she was cutting her long hair voluntarily and promised not to hold the salon accountable afterward.

Seeing the stylist’s timid manner, Sophia couldn’t help but let out a sigh. She thought, could it be that she’s been too strong-willed usually, making everyone afraid of her? It seemed she really needed to change her temper.

So she didn’t have any conflict with the stylist, and instead, followed his request and wrote the disclaimer.

After seeing the disclaimer written personally by Sophia, the hairstylist finally felt at ease to cut her hair.

Once the haircut was done, Sophia stood in front of the mirror for a long time, taking a deep breath and patting her round face, saying, "Sophia, from today onwards, you’re a hero again. Be it Christopher Scott or any other Scott, they have nothing to do with you anymore. You should live as happily as you used to."

Beside her, seeing that she didn’t get angry, the stylist finally breathed a sigh of relief and saw her off with a smile.
