Chapter 150: Chapter 150: How is the house here?
Translator: 549690339
How did Older Sister get to know him in the first place? And now, with her luggage box, could it be…?
Wallace glanced at his sister without letting too much show on his face.
No matter what she had done initially, in the end, it was all for him.
“Are you guys looking for a place to stay?” Seeing Emily hesitate to speak, Adrian Nash spoke up again, with a smile still hanging on the corner of his mouth, as if to untie her tongue-tied predicament.
Upon hearing his voice, Emily paused for a moment, then recovered and hesitated before nodding, “Uh…”
Instead of saying there’s nowhere to go, saying they are looking for a place would at least be less embarrassing.
As Emily finished speaking, the green light came on. Adrian Nash slightly curved his thin lips, turning the steering wheel, and the Porsche swiftly drove in another direction.
“I happen to know a friend who has a house for rent. Why don’t I take you to have a look?”
About 20 minutes later, the white Porsche stopped in front of a residential community.
Emily and Wallace got out of the car and looked around. Rows of small Western-style villas were spectacularly impressive. Though they couldn’t be called luxurious, they were quite exquisite.
Especially the surrounding green scenery, it was really soothing to the eyes.
Looking at such a house, Emily looked puzzled and turned her head to glance at Adrian puzzledly.
Adrian seemed to guess her confusion, his thin lips slightly curled, raising a perfect arch, “How about the houses here?”
He had a house inside, but it wasn’t exactly his; it was left to him by his deceased mother and had been vacant ever since.
Emily became even more puzzled by his words.
Could the friend he was talking about be this place? But with her and Wallace’s current financial situation, they couldn’t afford to rent such a house.
Then, Adrian took a keyring out of his pocket, waved it in front of Emily, and smiled, “Are you satisfied?”
Looking at the dangling keys in front of her, Emily’s eyebrows furrowed in surprise, and she asked incredulously, “What is this?”
Adrian smiled lightly and turned his face towards the Western-style villa, looking somewhat lonely, “This house has been empty for many years.” So? Empty with no one living in it? Asking her to live here?
Emily lowered her eyelids. She indeed has no place to go for now, but she wasn’t at the point of asking for help.
“Boss… ” Emily almost blurted out the title “boss” but quickly caught herself and paused before correcting, “Thank you for your kindness, but my brother and I will still look for a place.”
Having said that, Emily wanted to turn around and leave.
Seeing this, Adrian immediately turned around and grabbed her arm, “Hey, Emily, I just want to be friends with you; even if you don’t like it here, you don’t have to be so direct, it’s so embarrassing for me.”
He looked at Emily helplessly, the smile on the corner of his mouth at this moment somewhat strained. Her sudden, straightforward rejection really made him feel awkward.
It was as if he was being oversensitive.
But he did seem a little oversensitive!
Upon hearing him say that, Emily immediately realized that her words were indeed too blunt, and she quickly turned around, looking slightly apologetic.
“I’m sorry, I just thought…
“I know, it’s probably hard for you to accept my sudden offer, but I really just want to…” Adrian paused, seemingly struggling to explain his feelings at the moment, “I want to—simply help a friend, that’s all. Seriously, nothing more..”
