Maya pretended to sleep, and Liam always knew. The amusing thing is, he liked her ssing around like that, liked her acting spoiled towards him, letting him take care of her. So he didn’t expose her but continued to pamper her, letting her be capricious.
Maya saw Liam shaking his head and knew that he had seen through her act just now.
So, she decided to strike first, grabbing his ear and saying, "Next ti, you can’t co onto during the day."
"It’s okay,
"Third Brother, why are you so shaless."
"As long as it’s you." Liam quickly grabbed the small hand that was on his ear and put it in his mouth, lightly biting it.
Maya looked at his shaless behavior, laughing ’giggle giggle,’ wrapping her arms around his neck, and planted a kiss on his face.
Their entanglent made Liam regret coming to the club.
Today was Jane Spencer and Aron Hanson’s wedding, so they should be the ones getting married.
"Third Brother, Maya." When Liam and Maya parked the car in the open parking lot, they happened to see Seven coming in, too.
"Seven." Maya’s face lit up with a bright smile when she saw Seven. She really liked the woman in front of her, having heard she was in design, which she admired, unlike herself, who was in life sciences research, still jobless since graduation.
It’s not that Maya was unwilling to do scientific research; it’s just that her environnt didn’t allow her to work in research.
When the three of them arrived at the club, it was already 10:30, and everyone was having a lively ti.
"Young Master Spencer, Mrs. Spencer, good evening!"
"Young Master Spencer, Mrs. Spencer!"
Even though Liam hadn’t officially married Maya, her title had already changed, and she couldn’t escape those terms related to Liam.
"Third Brother, over here." Hudson Moore spotted Liam and Maya first near the bar.
When he saw Seven walking in with them, he imdiately nudged Christopher Scott next to him and reported, "Christopher, Seven’s here, with Third Brother and them."
Christopher had waited all night, thinking Seven wouldn’t co, but when he heard she was there, his heart tightened, feeling tense, but he didn’t turn around right away. Instead, he pretended to drink as if nothing happened and only turned around once he controlled his emotions, nonchalantly holding his drink while glancing at the three of them approaching.
He saw Seven smiling, linking arms with Maya, walking side by side and getting closer.
As Seven got nearer, Christopher’s breathing grew more rapid and tense, almost stopping, frustrated that her gaze never t his, as if he didn’t exist at all.
Christopher felt stifled, wondering about the woman’s mind, thinking about how she couldn’t see him standing there, wondering if she was doing it on purpose.
When Seven, along with Liam and Maya, reached the bar, she wore a signature warm smile, greeting, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Asher, Hudson, long ti no see!"
Among the six young lords of S City, Seven only called the first three brothers while calling Asher by na, and she completely ignored Christopher, not even glancing at him.
Imdiately, Christopher felt even more depressed, thinking if she had selective amnesia and had forgotten him.
He still rembered how, in the past, whenever the six of them were together, Seven would always notice him first and call his na.
Now, she completely ignored him in her gaze.
Recalling those mories, Christopher sneered coldly, thinking that all the efforts he made over the years were in vain, hoping Seven would co back to ’deal with’ him, but she didn’t even bother to acknowledge him anymore.
"Seven, long ti no see, you’re getting prettier and prettier."
"Little Sister Seven, your aura is growing, I heard you’re a great designer now, with your own brand."
"Isn’t the brand called ToGigi! The Chinese sounds like Seven Murray, you’re pretty impressive, Seven!"
Facing all the complints, Seven laughed in slight embarrassnt, saying, "Little sister struggled outside, returning now to make a living, hoping you brothers can lend a hand."
"That’s for sure!" Hudson patted his chest in assurance, not considering who Seven’s woman was—that’s Fifth Master Scott’s woman. As long as Fifth Master Scott wanted to help, there was no reason not to.
Moreover, Seven grew up with them, considered childhood sweethearts. Among them, she was the youngest, so they naturally protected and helped her. When Madam Murray ran the Murray Clan Company, she wouldn’t listen to advice, stubbornly doing things her way, leaving them helpless to assist, which is why the family fell to this state.
However, things are twofold. If it weren’t for the Murray Family’s decline, Seven might still be lingering in New York, unwilling to return. Now that she has, her and Christopher’s relationship, whether good or bad, needs resolution.
While they chatted and laughed, Christopher was sulkily drinking alone.
At this ti, Seven finally set her eyes on Christopher, greeting him with a composed smile, "Hello, Young Master Scott!"
As soon as Seven said Young Master Scott, the bar area fell silent, especially Maya, who opened her eyes wide, understanding what that kind of address implied—stranger, distance, and rejection, just like when she called Liam Young Master Spencer with ill intent.
Everyone thought Seven, being angry for so many years, would have cald down. However, one phrase, Young Master Scott, plunged their relationship to rock bottom.
Christopher, who liked Seven, wasn’t without limits or principles. Hearing her calling him Young Master Scott brought a sarcastic smile to his lips, but inwardly, it stung like a knife, making his drink seem like a thorny embrace, leaving his heart aching, wishing he could just strangle this woman.
He waited 7 years for her, and she returned only to call him Young Master Scott, not even willing to say his na. How could he bear this? Where could his deep feelings from all these years be placed? How could he hold any confidence to approach her?
After 7 years, he never imagined Seven turning into a hedgehog, with quills pointed only at him. He missed the Seven who used to shout imperiously at him, wanting to ddle in everything.
However, he nonchalantly faced Seven, giving her a non-genuine smile as he said, "Hello, Miss Murray."
When it ca to temper, who didn’t have one? Although Christopher seed calm, nobody could withstand his fury once provoked.
[Tomorrow, Maya and Third Brother are going to show off their love, definitely going to make single people envious.]
