Chapter 155
The car stopped by the side of the road near the Civil Affairs Bureau. Michael silently watched her for a while. Just when he was about to drive away, Eva’s phone in her arms suddenly rang. But Eva, who was deeply asleep, didn’t hear the sound at all.
Michael had to pick up the phone and answer the call.
“Eva, I’ve already arrived at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but I don’t see you. Where are you p>
A clear and gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing the voice, Michael looked towards the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Sure enough, he saw a girl wearing a black down jacket and carrying a small shoulder bag standing at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau, looking around for Eva’s figure. Michael remembered her.
She was Eva’s best friend, Emily.
After recognizing each other, Michael lowered his voice and said, “Hello, I’m Michael p>
The girl who had been looking around at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau heard his words and immediately stopped all her movements, asking cautiously, “Michael? Who? Where’s Eva?” Michael was speechless for a moment. Did he even forget himself?
“Don’t you remember me? I’m the one who used to hang out with Eva when we were kids p>
Upon hearing this, Emily thought about it seriously for a moment before finally remembering.
“Oh, it’s you. Is Eva with you now p>
“Yeah, she got tired from crying and fell asleep in the car p>
“In the car?” Emily hesitated for a moment, then started to look around and finally turned her gaze towards him.
Michael lowered the car window slightly to signal to Emily.
“I see, is that your car?” Emily asked on the phone.
“Yeah p>
After Confirming that Michael’s car, Emily immediately ran over, holding her phone. Michael thought for a moment, then opened the door and got out, meeting Emily outside.
When Emily ran over, she first leaned against the window and watched Eva, who had her eyes closed for a while. After a long time of observation, she suddenly turned her head and asked, “Is she asleep or does she not want to see me?” This question made Michael pause, and then he smiled helplessly and said, “What do you think p>
Of course, there was no way Eva wouldn’t want to see her. She must be asleep.
After confirming that Eva was sleeping peacefully, Emily breathed a sigh of relief. Then she started to size up this man named Michael in front of her.
When he suddenly mentioned his name earlier, Emily felt somewhat familiar with it, but couldn’t remember who he was or where she had seen him.
Now that she saw this man with her own eyes, Emily suddenly realized that he was Adrian’s brother.
He was quite handsome, but he had gone abroad later on.
Because it had been a long time, she had forgotten about him.
Now that she saw him, she finally made a deep impression and couldn’t help but feel speechless. How did she manage to forget someone who was so excellent and gentle like jade? “Hello p>
While contemplating, Michael had already nodded at her in greeting.
Emily finally came back to her senses and greeted him back, saying, “Sorry about Eva bothering you. But how did you end up here p>
Emily was always curious.
Just after Eva’s divorce, another man appeared so quickly.
Michael smiled slightly and gave a vague answer, “Just happened to pass by and saw her p>
Emily: p>
Happened to pass by?
She couldn’t say anything more, especially since Eva was currently sleeping in his car. Emily was hesitating whether she should wake her up or not. Although Eva knew Michael, Emily wasn’t familiar with him. Leaving her to sleep in a man’s car didn’t seem quite right.
However, the way Eva was struggling to speak between tears during their phone call earlier left Emily conflicted.
She had finally fallen asleep, but if she woke her up, would she start crying again?
Lost in her thoughts, Emily was stuck in this dilemma.
Just then, she heard Michael say, “Get in the car p>
Hearing that, Emily froze and then turned to look at him.
Michael smiled slightly, “Where are you going? I’ll give you a ride and let her sleep for a while p>
Upon hearing this, Emily understood everything.
“Thank you p>
She quickly put away her phone and climbed into the car.
Since Eva was sleeping in the passenger seat, Emily could only watch her from the backseat.
After Michael got into the car, they quickly disappeared from the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
After driving a certain distance steadily, and making sure Eva wouldn’t wake up so soon, Michael asked softly, “Where are you heading p>
Emily in the backseat immediately replied.
“Bring her to my house p>
At this point, they could only go to her house.
After all, she had divorced Adrian, so they couldn’t just send her home, right?
Soon, Emily gave Michael an address, and he responded with an “okay” and adjusted the route.
Emily watched Michael drive attentively and glanced at Eva, who was still sleeping, and pursed her lips, wanting to say something but eventually held back. It’s better to wait until Eva wakes up and ask her later.
The distance wasn’t far, and the car quickly arrived at Emily’s house.
When they got off the car, Emily noticed that Eva was still sleeping and couldn’t help but sigh. This sad person seems to be really immersed in sleep.
Emily originally planned to wake her up but was stopped by Michael.
“Don’t wake her up. If she wants to sleep, let her sleep a little longer p>
Emily could only give up.
Afterward, the two got out of the car, and Michael carried Eva horizontally. Emily followed behind, closing and locking the car door, and then they went upstairs together.
Emily walked quickly in front, taking the elevator and unlocking the door with her keys. Finally, she watched as Michael carried Eva into the house. Originally, she intended to close the door, but after some thought, she left it open, took off her shoes, and walked in.
New York is developing rapidly, but Emily’s place is still in the old city area.
Although the debt at home had been repaid with Eva’s help, and afterward, she only needed to earn money to live while working, Emily still lived cautiously, as if walking on thin ice, renting cheap houses whenever possible.
The money saved each month accumulated into a considerable fortune over the years.
But she only lived like this when she was alone. It wasn’t really suitable to let Eva stay in such an environment.
Although the Hansen family had gone bankrupt, Eva still came from a privileged background.
When Michael placed Eva on Emily’s unattractive small bed, Emily made a silent determination in her heart.
Well, even if it’s just to repay Eva, she must find a nice and spacious house immediately.
After placing her on the bed, Michael politely avoided staring around and quickly left the room.
Considering that a man like him could make Emily feel uncomfortable staying in the house, Michael said his goodbyes quickly.
After seeing him off, Emily closed the door and sighed, “This man seems quite nice p>
