No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother

Lillian Morris kept comforting Maya Spencer, but Maya felt increasingly distressed and didn’t know how to confess her mistake to him.

In the current situation, her feelings for Lillian were a mistake; her affection had brought him considerable trouble.

So she could only stand in front of him, swallowed, and stared at him blankly.

The man saw her guilty expression, shook his head with a helpless smile, and then said to her effortlessly, "Maya, sit."

After speaking, he walked into the pantry, took a bottle of iced milk tea from the refrigerator for Maya, handed it to her, and asked, "Can you drink it cold?"

"I can, thank you." Maya looked at the milk tea he handed over, quickly reached out to take it, and thanked him.

Then, Lillian sat down on the side sofa, clasping his hands against his lips, watching Maya intently.

"Pfft!" After watching Maya for a moment, he couldn’t help but smile. It was his first smile in days.

Beside him, Maya saw Lillian suddenly smile and was puzzled. She thought something on her face made him laugh, so she raised her small hand, wiped her face, and asked, "Brother Morris, why are you laughing?"

Lillian looked at the girl’s puzzled expression, pursed his lips, and explained, "It’s nothing; there’s nothing dirty on your face. I wasn’t laughing at you."

As he spoke, his eyebrows still carried a hint of smile.

He never expected that Liam Spencer was so angry this time, all because of this girl.

Of course, he also guessed Liam’s reason for anger.

Maya had hidden her feelings deeply, so he hadn’t realized at all. But from her behavior just now, he had already guessed.

Thinking of the girl in front of him who liked him, he felt inexplicably delighted and couldn’t help but laugh, perhaps because it was too unexpected. He couldn’t even imagine what Liam’s expression would be when he found out.

Neither could he imagine how Liam discovered her feelings, given Maya’s ’deep concealment,’ it was impossible for her to confess to Liam voluntarily.

Beside him, seeing Lillian frequently smirking, Maya grew increasingly embarrassed and intertwined her small hands, not knowing how to explain to him.

Therefore, she carefully asked, "Is the company okay?"

"No worries. Do you not trust Brother Morris?" Lillian’s smile was calm and genuine.

Looking at the man’s calm smile, Maya took a deep breath, bit her lips, and hesitated to explain: "Well... um... because I pressed a few bookmarks in a book, and Liam accidentally saw them. He... he might have misunderstood, that’s why he targeted you."

Regarding her feelings, Maya still didn’t have the courage to confess, hesitating and only summed it up with the word ’misunderstanding.’

Of course, Lillian wasn’t foolish; he understood Maya’s feelings towards him.

When he was about to comfort Maya and ask her not to worry, Maya continued, "Brother Morris, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely talk with Liam and ask him to stop such a foolish attack."

Lillian listened to the girl’s firm promise, suddenly withdrew his smile, and said seriously, "Maya, don’t worry about this matter. Let Liam fuss if he wants to. But for yourself, never compromise for my sake; otherwise, I’ll be unhappy."

Every word from Lillian was heartfelt, even down to the punctuation.

He had long known Liam’s explosive temper; he wouldn’t allow Maya to negotiate with him, nor let the girl stand up for him.

At this moment, what frustrated him most was that he was a married man. Apart from advising her not to provoke Liam, he had no way of responding to her feelings, so he could only play ignorant, pretending not to know her feelings for him.

Fortunately, Maya was different from other girls; she wasn’t selfish in terms of feelings, didn’t impose her emotions on others, and hadn’t confessed her love to him, sparing him from awkwardness.

For such a girl, he was even more unwilling to make her bear anything for him, even though the matter originated because of her, he required no responsibility from her.

Listening to Lillian’s stern warning, Maya’s eyes reddened instantly. Since her mother’s passing, Lillian was the first to genuinely consider her well-being, even more than her uncle.

In Aron Hanson’s mind, the company was his top priority. But for Lillian, he didn’t want her to do anything compromising for him, which only intensified Maya’s guilt.

Lillian had helped her so much, even saved her life; how could she bear to see him implicated because of her?

Maya wasn’t a sentimental person and rarely was.

Yet facing Lillian, she couldn’t maintain full rationality, couldn’t completely detach their predicament.

But she dared not disobey Lillian’s words, so she bit her lower lip, nodded at him, and said, "I’ll listen to you." However, her inner thoughts weren’t like that.

"Hmm! Don’t do anything foolish. Carefully consider your own life and what’s beneficial for you; that’s the most important. Other matters aren’t as significant." To firm up Maya’s resolve, Lillian advised her again, hoping to extinguish any lingering desire in her to help.

"Yes, yes, I understand, I’ll listen to you." Maya nodded resolutely, as if she truly would obey.

Afterwards, the two chatted casually for a while, then Maya stood up to say goodbye.

Lillian rose from the sofa, looking at the girl’s forced smile, and stood up to see her off.

When Maya reached the office door, she suddenly turned around, bowed deeply to Lillian, and earnestly said, "Brother Morris, I’m sorry."

Seeing the girl’s apologetic face, Lillian helplessly shook his head, reached out and enclosed her in his arms, kissed her on the top of her head, and said, "You haven’t wronged me. Just make sure you don’t wrong yourself."

Maya leaned against Lillian’s chest, feeling his tenderness and kiss, tears welled up, and the usually unemotional her seemed to have become exceptionally sensitive lately.

Feeling the girl’s fragility, Lillian patted her back and said, "You promised me not to go back on it; otherwise, I won’t acknowledge you for life and won’t be your Brother Morris anymore."

"Yes, yes!" Maya nodded forcefully.

Lillian gently pushed her away, lowered his head to look at her small face, and asked, "Or, would you like to stay until you finish crying?"

"Pfft!" Maya heard Lillian’s words and couldn’t help but laugh.

After laughing, she wiped away her tears and said, "No need! I won’t disturb your work anymore."

With that, Maya left, and Lillian didn’t stop her, only watched her back with a helpless smile.

However, after Maya left Morris Clan Group, she didn’t go home but went to Liam’s company to settle the score, questioning how long he’d continue his antics.
