Chapter 598
“Because when I see something beautiful, I can’t help but buy it for you p>
In the past, there was no reason, but now that he had confessed his feelings, there was nothing to hide. Naturally, he wanted to give her everything he thought of giving her and to give it to her sincerely.
Ever since he had made his feelings clear, he had been very straightforward, often catching Emily off guard.
Just like now, before she could react, he had taken the necklace around her back and put it on her.
As he performed these actions, his hand occasionally brushed against the skin of her neck. Every touch felt like an electric shock, making Emily shiver.
After putting on the necklace, Nathan held her shoulders and turned her to face him, “Beautiful p>
“Is… is it?” Emily blushed a little.
She originally didn’t want to accept it, but now that it was on her neck, should she accept it?
Even so, she thanked him bashfully, “Thank you p>
“You don’t have to be so polite; after all, it’s a gift p>
“Your gift is really valuable p>
What she gave him and what he gave her were really incomparable in price.
As she thought about the expensive necklace adorning her neck, Emily began to regret ever buying him that discounted pen.
It made her seem so poor p>
“Let’s go p>
After buying the gift, Nathan intended to take her home.
Perhaps because she was softened by the gift, Emily felt it was a bit sad for him to be alone in the hotel.
So, when she left, she said to him, “If you feel lonely in the hotel, you can come to our house. My parents would welcome you.” Nathan stared at her.
“Okay p>
“Then… I’m leaving p>
“Mm p>
As Emily turned to leave, a cold voice came from behind her.
“Emily p>
Hearing this, Emily paused and looked back at him.
“What’s up p>
“Can I hug you p>
This sudden request left Emily stunned. She didn’t expect Nathan to suddenly want to hug her.
Just a hug, it seemed… okay?
But why did she feel like things were moving too fast?
Perhaps she hesitated for too long. By the time she reacted, Nathan had already said, “I was presumptuous. You go home p>
So, before Emily could hesitantly give him an ‘okay,’ she had to swallow back the words that had reached her lips. She nodded, picked up the gift, and slowly walked back.
Nathan stood still, watching her petite figure disappear, before he finally drove away.
After staying abroad for several days, Eva and the others finally decided to return home.
As they were leaving, Mr. Hansen looked at his daughter and two great-grandchildren with reluctance. “When will you come to visit next?” He asked.
Eva raised an eyebrow. “The children will have to go back to school after we return. Even if we want to visit, it’ll probably have to wait until the holidays p>
After hearing this, Mr. Hansen realized that it wouldn’t be easy to see them in the short term unless he flew to their country himself. “Then I’ll visit you in your country when I have time.” Upon hearing this, Eva immediately seized the opportunity. “Dad, you must keep your word. If you don’t come, I’ll hold you accountable p>
“Alright.” Mr. Hansen gently patted his daughter’s head. “Once I finish up some business at the company, I’ll come and stay with you for a while p>
Eva smiled and agreed. Then she turned to Grace. “Aunt, you should come too p>
Grace was both surprised and pleased. “Okay, I’ll definitely come p>
“You don’t have much time before boarding. You should go through security check now. The airport is large, so it’s better to be early p>
“Safe travels.” Grace quickly added.
Eva hugged her father as her eyes welled up with tears. “Dad, you promised to come p>
Mr. Hansen was already feeling reluctant to part, but hearing the sadness in his daughter’s voice made him feel even worse. “Eva, you… I’ll definitely come; why are you crying?” After saying this, Mr. Hansen turned to Adrian. “Quick, comfort her p>
Adrian smiled and pulled Eva into his arms, wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes. “Alright, don’t cry. If you really miss them, I can bring you here anytime. With how good transportation is nowadays, we can see them whenever we want p>
Eva finally stopped crying and glared at Adrian. “I don’t need you to bring me. I can come by myself p>
“Dad, we’re leaving now. You and aunt take care p>
After father and daughter finished speaking, it was the elders’ turn to say goodbye. After a long farewell, they finally parted.
On the way back, Eva leaned against Adrian. “I’m so tired from all the fun p>
She leaned all her weight against him, and Adrian stood there letting her lean with one hand around her waist. “Take a good rest when we get back p>
“Hmm.” Eva hummed softly. “Emily is coming to pick us up at the airport p>
Reminded of her best friend, Adrian quirked a lip. “You told her when we’re returning p>
“Yes, I did. She’s been holding a grudge against me because I didn’t see her during the New Year. If I didn’t tell her when I’d be back, she’d definitely be angry p>
“She’s so clingy.” Adrian became a little jealous when he remembered how Eva had run off to sleep with Emily the night she came over. “She’s not going to sleep with you again when she picks us up, is she p>
Hearing this, Eva looked at him incredulously. “What are you talking about? Even if she really wanted to sleep with me, so what? She’s a girl. You’re not jealous of a girl, are you? You’re too possessive.” “I’m not happy.” Adrian admitted frankly.
Seeing his expression, Eva could only mutter a few complaints under her breath before saying, “Don’t worry, she probably won’t have the chance to spend all her time on me.” “Why p>
“I think she’s about to start a new relationship p>
Adrian didn’t care about other people’s love affairs, even if it was his wife’s best friend. So, after Eva said this, he didn’t ask any more questions, but if she wanted to talk about it, he would listen. Sure enough, Eva didn’t care whether he asked or not and simply described Emily’s recent situation. “Her boss is pursuing her, and he even went to her house to propose p>
Adrian recalled and subconsciously said a name, “Nathan p>
Hearing this, Eva was stunned. “Yes, how did you know p>
Adrian pursed his thin lips. “I’ve met him before p>
“I see. Since you’ve met him before, do you think he had feelings for Emily before p>
This question made Adrian somewhat helpless. “Eva, how would I even answer that question p>
