Staring at the abruptly terminated call, Emily Walker looked melancholy, silently gazing at her cell phone.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian Nash, coming from behind, found her standing at the elevator entrance in a daze. Furrowing his brows in confusion, he directed the question towards her.
Emily lifted her gaze from her cell phone to meet his. She then smiled and said, “Nothing, I’m leaving now!”
Having said this, she stepped into the elevator.
Just as she was about to press the elevator button, Adrian promptly entered the elevator as well.
She looked at him dazedly, confusion etched upon her face.
“Let’s go together, it’s time for me to leave too,” Adrian smiled nonchalantly.
He merely wanted to accompany her. Even if he couldn’t win her heart, it seemed like just observing her from afar would lessen his sense of disappointment.
But, was it really enough just to watch her?
Adrian wasn’t sure, perhaps one day, if she were discarded by others, he would readily open his arms to her because at that time, he definitely wouldn’t just be watching her from afar.
But would such a day truly come?
Emily stared at him blankly, casting a glance towards the direction of the elevator entrance, “But your friends…”
“It’s fine, they’ll stay around for a little while longer,” Adrian said softly. (Logan Heath: You, a fella who values love over friends!)
The elevator directly went to the first floor and the two of them left Duke Station.Throne. At this time, it was dusk and the sun was setting.
“Are you sure you don’t need me to send you?” Looking into her eyes, Adrian’s eyes conveyed a touch of hopeless infatuation and reluctance.
Such infatuation was difficult to detect, and Emily naturally didn’t notice it.
She turned around and gave him a polite smile. “No need, I’ll take the bus.”
That man was already angry on the phone just now. To have Adrian send her home again? She didn’t want to add fuel to fire and end up facing an imminent volcano!
Having spoken, Emily turned around and headed towards the bus station.
“Emily!” Seeing her turn to leave, Adrian’s heart inexplicably felt that once she left, there would be no chance of her ever being this close to him again.
Hearing her name, Emily stopped in her tracks. Before she could turn around and question him, she was abruptly pulled into his embrace by a powerful arm!
Adrian pulled her close and held her tightly in his arms. It was as if he was afraid she would disappear forever the second she walked away. Only by clutching her tightly could he feel her presence.
Caught unawares by his sudden move, Emily was left dumbfounded. She became completely stunned, with wide eyes innocently gazing into his chest.
Adrian cradled her, his gaze aching. He whispered in her ear, “At any time, if you need someone, remember that I’ll always be here…”
His words were like a jolt of electricity. Emily’s pupils tightened, and she instantly snapped out of her stupor. Immediately following that, she fiercely pushed him away!
She stood in front of him, her eyes wide with shock, then her voice changed to a resolute tone, “I don’t think I will need you… not now, not ever…”
Having said that, she turned to leave.
But the second she turned around, she met a pair of enraged eyes which left her completely taken aback. She froze in place.
The handsome face in front of her looked as if it wanted to tear her to shreds, making her feel somewhat scared.
Baron Stuart stood frozen in place, clenching his fists, intending to bring this woman home for punishment, but he didn’t expect to walk into this scene..
