A Second Chance at Forever Chapter 651

Chapter 651

In the video Emilia left behind, she never said anything to blame Ethan at all, but kept apologizing to him.

Between the two of them, he was always on top, while she was always at the bottom, hoping that he could give her a little love. Ethan recalled the first time he saw Emilia. He was sitting in his car, the window half open, watching Emilia and Casey being surrounded by a bunch of homeless people.

At that moment, his car was stuck in the middle of the road, waiting for the traffic lights. Out of boredom, he glanced over and spotted Emilia, head in her hands, curled up on the ground amidst the grubby crowd

When he saw her looking up at him, there was a clear and bright light in her eyes, that clarity was incompatible with this messy environment, his heart skipped a beat and he shouted, “Stop”

Back then, he didn’t know that Casey, who was protecting Emilia, was actually the illegitimate son of the Ziegler family, and his half–brother. If he knew Casey and Emilia were in the same group, he wouldn’t have supported Emilia.

He heard from Emilia that since he started sponsoring her, she always waited for him silently at the door of the Ziegler family after school, just to wait for him to come out and say thank you to him, but every time he sat in the car in and out, never lowered the window to look at her again. Emilia later worked her butt off to get into his school, became his classmate, and slowly got closer to him. But he didn’t really like seeing Emilia. Back then, Ethan didn’t know squat about love.

All he knew was there was this girl who would leave breakfast on his desk every morning, and follow his car on her bike after school. She would stop after a short distance, watching his car drive away, with a smile on her face.

When he was concentrating in painting in the art studio, she would sneakily stand by the window, resting her chin on her hand, watching him through the glass.

Later, he often saw her sitting in the art studio as well, painting various strange shapes with several colors.

No one in the studio understood her art, but Ethan could tell she had talent with just one look, so he took a few more glances at her.

It may be that several times of his gaze made her replace the direction of life, Emilia firmly chose architecture.

And Ethan, being a man who valued talent, invested some funds in her and hired many teachers to train her after he found out she was the little girl he’d been sponsoring

Emilia didn’t let him down. Before long, she became an architect, impressing even him.

After winning an award, Emilia came to thank him with her trophy in hand.

That time, she boldly took his hand, and for some reason, Ethan didn’t pull away.

He always thought her hands were warm, even warmer than the sun above his head.

Seeing that he didn’t reject her, Emilia boldly tiptoed up and snuck a kiss on him.

Stunned, Ethan watched as Emilia blushed and smiled at him after kissing him, saying, “Ethan, I like you.”

Then, without waiting for his response, the little girl holding the trophy turned and ran off.

Ethan watched her retreating figure, raised his hand to touch his cheek, and said softly:

“I didn’t feel it, she should have kissed me longer next time.

At that time, he started to have a feeling for Emilia, right? He didn’t know that it was liking, thinking it was merely habit.

Because Emilia was always by his side, making him feel like she would never leave him.

Like a personal butler, always by his side. He assumed Emilia would be the same, so he never had the idea of approaching her proactively.
