At six o’clock in the evening, Adrian Nash returned to the small manor.
Perhaps he was tired, as he saw his siblings leaning on the sofa taking a nap as soon as he entered the living room.
He quietly walked towards the single sofa, watching Emily Walker who was already fast asleep. Her features were not exactly refined, but they were refreshing and attractive. Her thick eyelashes slightly curled up, resting on her fair cheeks, giving her an appealing fresh look.
Her tightly closed eyes seemed to sense a shadow moving in front of her. Emily
fluttered her eyelids slightly and then opened her eyes, greeted by the sight ot an attractive face close to hers. She was startled and quickly sat up on the sofa.
Bending over, Adrian Nash didn’t expect her to suddenly open her eyes. His expression was somewhat awkward.
For a moment just now, he seemed to be captivated by her sleeping face and was slightly entranced.
Emily straightened up, feeling somewhat uncomfortable under his steady gaze. Furthermore, she didn’t understand why he was staring at her so intently.
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but they were so close just now that she had the impression this man was trying to kiss her…
It seemed like she needed to move out as soon as possible.
“When…when did you get home?” Both of them looked slightly embarrassed. Emily lowered her eyelids and asked unnaturally.
Adrian Nash too, composed his unusual thoughts, with a simple, relaxed and charming smile, he easily dispelled the awkwardness.
“I just arrived home. There might be some dust on your face from cleaning earlier.” After saying that, Adrian Nash unscrupulously reached out, his thumb naturally brushing against Emily’s cheeks as if wiping away the ‘dust’ that didn’t even exist.
The unexpected touch left Emily startled once again.
She quickly composed herself. No wonder he was looking at her so closely just now; it was because she had dust on her face. It looked like she was overthinking.
However… was there really dust on her face? She remembered washing her face after cleaning.
Emily lowered her eyelids again, her eyebrows furrowing as she wondered if there really was dust on her face.
“Alright, I bought dinner home.” Adrian Nash lifted the dinner he had bought in his hand, gave Emily a warm smile and then turned to wake Wallace Carter who was still sleeping on the sofa, “Wallace, it’s time for dinner.”
Seeing the two addressing each other so familiarly, Emily was puzzled.
It seemed like they had a good relationship? They even called each other by their first names, as if they had known each other for a long time.
The three of them sat down at the dining table for dinner. As Adrian Nash watched this scene unfold, his smile deepened. For more than ten years, it seemed like he had always eaten alone.
Of course, besides those so-called ‘girlfriends’, he mostly ate alone at home.
The sight before him made him feel strangely… nice.
But just as Adrian Nash was smirking and enjoying this unusual feeling, the next second Emily did something that shattered this peace entirely!
“This is for the meal.” Emily took out a bill from her pocket at some point and placed it in front of him.
Looking at the note in front of him, Adrian Nash paused with his chopsticks halfway to his mouth, then looked up at the woman before him.
Did this woman have to settle every single expense with him, including those for Charlotte Taylor? She truly was… a buzzkill.
He sighed, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and looked at her helplessly with his enchanting peach blossom eyes. He said with a lighthearted smile, “It’s just dinner.. Can’t you stop being so calculative?”
