No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother

Chapter 681 - 679: Now It’s My Turn to Chase You [1 Update]

In the bedroom, Sophia listened to the servant’s "son-in-law" and frowned, thinking, son-in-law? Which son-in-law? Did she acknowledge it? Did she accept Christopher Scott?If her memory was not mistaken, she hadn’t agreed to Christopher Scott earlier, right! She thought to herself, this Josiah Bennett, what a troublemaker, the daughter hadn’t nodded yet, but he’s already calling someone son-in-law, is he afraid she won’t get married? Is he kidding, her luck with love is flourishing now!

As for Christopher Scott, she still has to test him, see if he passes the test, and if he’s worthy of becoming their family’s son-in-law.

Right now, although Sophia frowned and pouted, hearing the word "son-in-law" made her very happy. She wished she could immediately pull Christopher Scott into the room and not let him leave, afraid he might change his mind.

Sophia never expected that one day Christopher Scott would come around and pursue her.

To maintain her dignity, Sophia pretended to be calm and said, "Son-in-law? What son-in-law? Did I ever bring a son-in-law home? Nanny Woods, go up and tell my mom not to randomly recognize relatives."

The servant listened to Sophia’s earnest words, puzzled. In S City, Sophia’s affection for Christopher Scott was no secret, let alone among the house servants, who heard Christopher Scott’s name so often the words wore them out. Yet Sophia was still denying it with her eyes wide open.

Well then! The situation is different now, the Scott Family young master is shamelessly chasing her, and their young lady naturally needs to uphold her airs.

So the servant chuckled "hey" and turned to go downstairs.

In the living room, the servant coughed twice and pretended to be serious, saying, "Madam, the young lady said that she hasn’t brought a son-in-law home, and asked you not to randomly recognize relatives."

Though the servant’s expression was serious and her tone was earnest, every word was filled with joy, happy for Sophia; as the saying goes, for girls pursuing boys, it’s like a thin veil, but their young lady persevered for over a year, truly not easy, it’s heart-wrenching for outsiders.

Finally, good days are here, everyone’s joy is natural.

On the sofa, Mother Bennett listened to the servant’s words, pursing her lips, she chuckled and said, "This girl, how mischievous!"

Christopher Scott stood beside her, observing the smile in Mother Bennett’s eyes and felt especially good. It was his first visit to Sophia’s parents’ home, yet it felt incomparably warm; he could see the whole house welcomed him.

Soon, he heard Mother Bennett say, "Christopher, hold on, I’ll call that girl downstairs."

"Aunt, it’s fine, I’ll go upstairs to find Sophia myself, I’ll have a few words with her and then leave." Christopher Scott was interrupted mid-sentence by Mother Bennett, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and tell Sophia that what he felt for her wasn’t habit, but genuine like, real and sincere liking.

He wanted to ask for her opinion, wanted to have a relationship with her.

Mother Bennett saw Christopher Scott’s courtesy, smiling broadly and said, "Okay okay okay! Then go find Sophia, so I don’t end up confusing the message as the middle person."

Mother Bennett’s face had a winning smile as if she hit the jackpot, having raised such a big daughter finally about to have a romance, she was pleased just thinking about it. Watching Christopher Scott head to the second floor, her mind was already planning their wedding.

She thought, good things should happen early, maybe having a wedding together with Maya would be a good choice too.

In Sophia’s bedroom, she lay on the big bed holding a plush toy, muttering "son-in-law! son-in-law!"

"Sophia, can we talk?" at this moment, Christopher Scott suddenly knocked on the bedroom door.

Sophia heard Christopher Scott’s voice, immediately put down the toy, walked to the door, pressed her ear against the door, saying, "Go home! I’ve already gone to sleep, whatever you have to say, say it tomorrow."

Sophia thought, Christopher Scott rejected her for so long, she certainly had to make things difficult for him, to see his reaction; if he turned and walked away, without coaxing or pursuing her, it surely wouldn’t be true love; such a love isn’t worth having.

So at this moment, Sophia thoroughly played coy, she wanted to see how deep Christopher Scott’s feelings for her truly were.

Christopher Scott saw Sophia still rejecting him, a happy smile forming at the corner of his mouth, he said, "Sophia, open the door, your mom already calls me son-in-law, do you think you can still avoid it?"

Sophia saw Christopher Scott using mom to threaten her, feeling infuriated, crossed her arms and said angrily, "My mom calls you son-in-law, that’s her opinion, I haven’t acknowledged you, the ’son-in-law’ call is in vain."

"Don’t you like me anymore? Don’t want to be together with me?" Christopher Scott started playing the emotional card, tugging at Sophia’s deepest feelings.

"I don’t like you anymore; that was before, I’ve already told you, I’ve decided to give up on you." Sophia said these words with a thumping heart, afraid Christopher Scott might take it seriously, fear he’d turn away and leave; but she remained stubborn, not yielding.

Because, she wanted to hear Christopher Scott coax her, hear him say more sweet words, so she deliberately resisted him, intentionally kept a distance.

However, she was also protesting for herself, protesting against him being cold towards her for so long, making her feel sad for so long.

Christopher Scott listened to Sophia’s decision, knowing what she was thinking in his heart.

After all, Sophia had been lingering behind him for a year and a half, he somewhat understood her character.

Therefore, he took a deep breath, straightforwardly said, "Sophia, but I now like you, like you very much; if you’ve really let me go, no worries, this time, let me chase you, alright?"

Behind the door, Sophia listened to Christopher Scott’s confession, tightly covering her mouth with her hands, suppressing her laughter, not letting herself laugh out loud, afraid that if she laughed, she’d be exposed, unable to maintain her cool persona in front of Christopher Scott.

But she was truly delighted, hadn’t been this happy for a long time, felt she was the happiest person, felt her persistence this time was so right.

She took a deep breath, held it, feigned calmness, saying, "Okay! I know, you go back now, I’ll think about it."

Christopher Scott listened to Sophia saying she would consider it, nodded, said, "Okay! I’ll go first, get some rest, I’ll arrange to talk tomorrow."

"Alright!"

"Then I’m leaving."

"Bye-bye!"

"Bye-bye!"

After Christopher Scott said goodbye, he didn’t leave but pressed his ear against the door, earnestly eavesdropping on the activity inside.

Inside, Sophia pressed her hands tightly against her chest, reminiscing Christopher Scott saying he’d chase her, with a smile on her face brighter than a flower.

She turned around, pressing her ear against the door panel, secretly listening to outside movements, until she was sure Christopher Scott had left, she suddenly let out a sharp "ah..." scream, the excited, happy sound transmitted through the door to Christopher Scott’s ears.

Then, she grabbed the plush toy on the bed, spinning and dancing in the bedroom, humming a tune and saying, "Christopher Scott likes me, Christopher Scott likes me."
