Chapter 1151: 014 Provocation from Gu Yunrou

Axel Hawkins finished his call, took a shower, and then heard a knock on the door. As he was drying his hair, he went to open it and saw Liam Carrington walk in with a smile, without even needing an invitation.

"Brother Axel, how come you just finished showering?" Liam Carrington walked in and casually sat on the sofa in his room, which Elena Duncan had helped him pick out. It was very soft and extremely comfortable to sit on.

"I had just been on a call with my parents." Axel Hawkins grabbed a hair dryer and briefly dried his hair.

"Oh, everything in this room was arranged by my sister herself. Do you still like it?" Liam Carrington looked around the room. At the time Elena Duncan was setting it up, she did not even allow him to see it. Later, it was him who sneaked a spare key from the butler to come in and take a look when Elena Duncan wasn’t around.

At that moment, he knew the care Elena Duncan had put into this for Brother Axel, and he had long decided on Brother Axel, so apart from Axel Hawkins, no other boy could come close to his Sister Elena.

"Yes, I like it." Axel Hawkins openly admitted, "Did you come at this time just to ask me such a boring question?"

"Of course not. I have a serious question to ask, just not sure if Brother Axel would be willing to tell me?" Liam Carrington continued giggling, a laugh that made Axel Hawkins furrow his brows, as it was rather sleazy.

Liam Carrington couldn’t help thinking back to earlier in the restaurant when he asked Elena Duncan, and the first time, Elena Duncan just glared at him, didn’t say a word, and then left.

"What serious question?" Axel Hawkins also knew that coming from Liam Carrington’s mouth, it wouldn’t be anything too serious. This kid had never been quite serious since he was young.

"Brother Axel, did you take away my sister’s first kiss today?" Liam Carrington asked with a grin, unable to get a clear answer from Elena Duncan, so he came to ask Axel Hawkins.

Even though he already knew the answer, he still wanted to hear it from one of them, just for one of them to admit it.

"..." Axel Hawkins frowned, no blushing, but his ears did turn a bit red, "Why do you ask that?"

Being a boy, even if such a question was indeed embarrassing, Axel Hawkins could still ask back.

"I just wanted to know, the atmosphere I specially created for you today, Brother Axel, did you take good advantage of it?"

So, the reason Liam Carrington asked this was just to prove whether his little tricks were useful or not, lest all his hard efforts for their sake go to waste.

"Yeah, thank you for everything you prepared for us today, I’m very happy. But, your sister’s first kiss wasn’t lost because of you. Alright, I’m tired, if there’s anything else, we can talk tomorrow, I’m not seeing you out." Axel Hawkins was speechless, so this kid was treating them like lab rats for his experiments, wasn’t he?

Liam Carrington wanted to ask more, but Axel Hawkins didn’t give him any chance, pushed him out directly, and locked the door of the room.

Liam Carrington knocked twice, but Axel Hawkins didn’t open it. He felt frustrated, but the door across opened, "Liam Carrington, if you keep being this pointless, don’t blame me for ignoring you forever."

"..." Liam Carrington felt even more downhearted, "Okay, okay, I get it. I was just showing concern for you guys, and this is how you treat me."

Liam Carrington muttered to himself but eventually left.

Elena Duncan shook her head, looked at the closed door across, and with a smile, she closed her own door.

In the following days, the three of them did everything together until Axel Hawkins’s birthday arrived. Axel Hawkins and Elena Duncan both warned Liam Carrington not to come up with any mischief, as their being together was already very meaningful.

Liam Carrington pouted and directly questioned Axel Hawkins, "Brother Axel, are you even a man?"

"..." Axel Hawkins didn’t understand at the time, how was he not a man?

"Forget it, forget it, you’re all bookworms, I can’t be bothered with you." Seeing how clueless Axel Hawkins was, Liam Carrington didn’t pursue it further and waved his hand, letting them be.

The gift Elena Duncan prepared for Axel Hawkins was something she got from participating in a painting competition this year, a mug with great sentimental value, engraved with her name and the name and date of the competition.
