Emily was taken aback again, feeling guilty about Adrian’s care as he had helped her a lot when she was in a difficult situation.

However, her heart had long been given to Baron Stuart.

“Very well.” Emily’s tone remained somewhat indifferent, not wanting to give Adrian any hope.

Her indifference was clearly felt by Adrian Nash.

For a time, he had also wanted to try to let it go – this woman who wasn’t really his. Unconsciously, though, he found himself going to Wallace’s workplace to find out about her.

“It seems that you are in a hurry to clarify your relationship with me.” Adrian laughed softly, jokingly trying to ease the tense and awkward atmosphere.

Emily fell silent for a few seconds.

She was not an ungrateful person and knew that Adrian had helped her a great deal. She hadn’t thought about cutting ties with him either.

However, she wanted to maintain this pure friendship solely on an emotional level. If the emotions couldn’t be maintained because of personal feelings, then it left her powerless.

If she really had to choose between love and friendship, she would have to give up this hard-won friendship.

“I don’t want to cut ties with you; it’s just that if you came to me with personal feelings, I’m sorry, but I can’t do it.” Emily raised her head, determined.

Her words may have been hurtful, but it was just to be decisive and not to drag things down.

Adrian gave a bitter smile. Hurt three times a day by a single woman, even if she wanted to put a distance between him, she could be less direct.

“Why did all the luck in the world belong to Baron Stuart? It really makes me jealous.” Adrian turned his head and glanced forward.

He was somewhat envious of Baron Stuart and envious of her existence in his life.

Emily did not understand the meaning of his words and just stared at him for a few seconds.

Then, Adrian opened the car door, got out, and walked in front of Emily, his hands leisurely in his pockets.

“Even if we can’t be lovers, I don’t want to miss the chance of being friends with you. If you have to choose between the two, I hope to maintain this friendship.” He looked at her and continued, “I admit that I have been harboring private feelings for you, but today, I just want to hold onto this friendship purely. So, you don’t need to be deliberately cold to me. After all, I once loved you sincerely; it’s just too hurtful for me.”

After speaking, Adrian sighed with a pained expression, covering his chest as if he was truly in agony.

Only after hearing him say this did Emily realize that perhaps her words just now were too hurtful?

“Um…I didn’t mean anything else, it’s just…” It’s just that I wanted to maintain a distance from you.

Uh, if she said it, would it hurt him again?

So, Emily held back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

“I know you just don’t want to cause misunderstandings with Baron Stuart. I’m sorry for answering the phone call last time.” Adrian changed his attitude and looked at her earnestly.

Emily hadn’t put that matter on her mind before. Actually, answering a phone call was nothing; the problem was with Baron Stuart, who always seemed to be petty towards her. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Perhaps Adrian did have some personal feelings for her, but she was clear about her feelings for him, like a mirror. It was just that Baron Stuart wouldn’t listen to her explanation, leading to the cold war at that time.
