Chapter 599
Eva didn’t think there was anything wrong with her question.
“What’s so hard to answer?” She asked.
“Do you think I pay attention to anyone else besides you p>
Upon hearing this, Eva looked up at him from his embrace, blinking gently.
“But she’s not just anyone; she’s my best friend. You don’t have to observe too closely, just a little insight would do p>
“So? Do you know something that might indicate that he likes her p>
Perhaps she was too persistent, so Adrian reluctantly admitted, “Yes p>
“Really?” Eva’s eyes lit up. “So, he really does like Emily p>
Adrian couldn’t help but pinch her nose, his tone indulgent, “When did you become so gossipy p>
“Wasn’t I always p>
“Hmm. So let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about us p>
“No way, I only bring it up once p>
Afraid he would go back on his word, Eva persisted, “Didn’t you just say that you knew something? What is it p>
Adrian was silent for a moment before he softly said, “Once when you were in danger abroad, Emily wanted to come find you. But her boss was worried about her safety and accompanied her.” Hearing this, Eva’s eyes widened.
“He really did that p>
Eva understood why Adrian would think this showed that Nathan liked Emily. How many bosses would accompany an employee across countries out of concern for their safety? This could really prove a lot.
“Hmm, for someone in his position, time is money. If he didn’t have feelings for her, he wouldn’t do such a boring thing p>
Eva had heard from Emily before but didn’t know anything. She didn’t expect to learn such information from someone else.
She was a bit surprised, but she was also happy for Emily.
“That’s great. It seems her boss really cares about her; it’s not just lip service p>
“Hmm, he seems decent, and I’ve worked with him before. He’s a self-made man p>
Eva was very happy that her best friend was marrying a good man, “But I haven’t met him yet. I’ll see him when I go back and vet him for Emily.” Adrian, who had been agreeing with her, frowned at this, “Why do you seem so excited p>
“Why not p>
Adrian squinted his eyes, the hand on her waist tightening.
“You’re not allowed to look at that man p>
Huh?
“If I don’t look at him, how can I vet him for Emily? I definitely need to take a good look, maybe even arrange a meal p>
Before Adrian could refuse, Eva added, “You should come too, to help me vet him for Emily p>
Adrian, who originally thought she wanted to go alone, was surprised when she invited him. After a while, he finally agreed, “Fine p>
With him there, she would feel much safer.
“Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll go together p>
Airport
The weather was quite cold.
Emily sat in the warm car, huddled under Nathan’s coat that he had taken off for her.
Fearful of missing out and considering that Emily’s home was very far from hers, they arrived early.
When they arrived, there was still over an hour before Eva’s flight would land.
There were no shops near the airport, and even if there were, they would have been closed at this hour, so the two could only stay in the car.
At first, Emily felt a bit awkward and said to Nathan, “We might have to wait a long time; why don’t… you go back first p>
As soon as she said this, Nathan gave her a lukewarm look.
“Am I supposed to go back and leave you here alone p>
He then spoke a bit helplessly, “Emily, do you have any awareness that you are being pursued p>
Emily pursed her lips and did not respond.
“Shouldn’t you take this time to observe how the other person behaves p>
“I suppose that’s true… But… having you bring me here in the middle of the night, and then waiting with me seems like a waste of your time.” “I don’t think it’s a waste of time p>
With that, Nathan took off his coat and handed it to her.
Emily held his coat, a little dumbfounded.
“What… what’s wrong p>
“Put it on.” Nathan said casually, “There’s still over an hour to go; you can sleep in the car p>
“I’m not sleepy p>
“Then close your eyes and rest p>
He took care of her so attentively.
Emily subconsciously thought that his upbringing must have shaped his character differently from those who grew up pampered by their parents. However, his way of caring for others was quite assertive.
Emily didn’t say anything else; she blushed as she slowly draped his coat over herself, then leaned back in her seat to rest her eyes.
Just as she closed her eyes, Emily thought of something and opened her eyes again, “You gave me your coat but what about you? Aren’t you cold?” “I am in good health.” He said lightly.
“Oh p>
When Emily closed her eyes again, she started to wonder what he meant.
What was he saying? Did he mean that she was in poor health?
In her drowsiness, she actually fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the night was darker, and Emily’s body was still curled up. She felt a bit cold when she woke up, so she instinctively burrowed into Nathan’s coat.
Luckily, he had given her his coat; otherwise, she might have really felt cold while sleeping.
But soon, a thought sprang into her mind. She was warm under his coat, so what about him?
Emily immediately opened her eyes and saw Nathan resting on the steering wheel at a glance.
His eyes were closed, and his long eyelashes cast shadows around his eyes, even while leaning there, he was very restrained, his movements graceful.
And from this angle, he still looked very handsome.
Although Emily knew from the first time she met Nathan that he was handsome, she had no feelings when she looked at him before because she thought that no matter how handsome this man was, he could never be hers, so she only needed to occasionally appreciate him during work.
But now it was different p>
This man could possibly be hers in the future.
As she gazed at him with this thought, her heart fluttered with feeling she had never had before.
He was even more handsome than she had imagined.
Emily stared at him without blinking. She couldn’t look away.
“Do I look good p>
Suddenly, Nathan opened his dreamy-like eyes and parted his thin lips.
Caught red-handed, Emily’s face turned red instantly.
“Yes, you look good p>
“No… I didn’t mean to spy on you; I was just watching you sleep, so p>
“It’s okay p>
Nathan lifted the corner of his lips, “After all, if you’re willing, I’ll be yours in the future; you can look at me as long as you want p>
His response made Emily’s ears turn so red that they looked like they were almost bleeding.
It seemed that since he expressed his feelings, he became more and more provocative in his speech.
