It was just a dinner. He didn’t know how many women he had paid the bill for, but the one in front of him didn’t even give him the chance to be a gentleman. She was truly… unique.
Many women would have longed for the chance to have dinner with him, but this woman just killed the thing he’d always been proud of.
Emily was completely unmoved and calmly handed the money to him.
After all, they weren’t that familiar with each other, especially when it came to money. It was better to keep things clear.
“Don’t you remember?” Adrian Nash sighed helplessly, he really couldn’t bring himself to take money from a woman.
Emily raised her pupils, somewhat confused by his question. “Remember what?”
“Our first meeting at the park where you helped me, do you remember?” That time, he had been chased by bodyguards hired by his father, and if it hadn’t been for Emily, he might not have been able to avoid them so easily.
Emily frowned as she lowered her eyelids and began to recall…
At that park, it was true that he seemed to be chased by someone. But why bring it up now?
She raised her head and looked at him quizzically. “I remember; what about it?”
Adrian Nash smiled, “Thanks to you that time, I was able to escape. So let me treat you to this meal, okay?”
Watching the conversation between the two, Wallace also raised his head. He hadn’t expected his older sister to have saved Adrian Nash. Had they known each other for a long time?
From his attitude towards Emily, it seemed that he truly cared for her and even seemed to… be trying to please her.
Even though their family was now in dire circumstances, if Adrian Nash didn’t mind, he might become a very good match for Emily!
Under Adrian Nash’s insistence, Emily put away the money and continued eating her dinner.
It was past 8 PM when they were done with dinner, and it was time for Adrian Nash to go home.
Before leaving, he took down the tablet computer from the car and handed it to Emily and Wallace, telling them that they could look at houses online that night and maybe find one they liked.
However, Emily and Wallace searched all night but couldn’t find a suitable place – they were either too expensive, too remote, or mainly due to the high house prices — average people just couldn’t afford them.
Having no other choice, they decided to give up looking online and personally visit some older residential areas the next day.
Sometimes, older people stayed home while other family members went out to work. If those older persons had spare rooms, they might rent them out for some extra income.
People in such situations were generally not well-off. Some of those old people didn’t use the internet, so they had to post rental information on advertisement billboards outside the residential area or near their homes.
Early the next morning, the siblings left their house. Emily went house hunting and Wallace went to find a job, so if they found a slightly expensive house, they could at least support themselves a bit better.
“Wallace, you haven’t fully recovered yet. Do you want to wait a little while before looking for a job?” Emily was still worried about her brother’s health as they got off the bus.
Wallace simply waved her off with a smile, assuring her not to worry. “Sister, my body has been fine for a while now. Hospitals just hope you stay longer so they can make more money.”
That’s what he thought, because he knew his own body better than anyone.
Right now, the most important thing was to find a job to ease some of the financial pressure for his older sister..
