Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 593 Misunderstanding Our Relationship
Emily washed her face before returning to bed.
Unknown to her, the anger stirred up by that ridiculous blind date had somehow disappeared during her conversation with Nathan.
This reminded Emily that Nathan was actually a person with exceptionally stable emotions.
For Emily, it was important for her partner to have stable emotions.
And having worked with Nathan for so many years, no matter what happened at work, his emotions were always incredibly stable; he never got angry. Sometimes when Emily couldn't control her own emotions, she was always calmed down by his relaxing demeanor.
Nathan was a problem solver.
Wouldn't it be nice to live with such a person?
And just like he said, she could live an ordinary life if she wanted to, and if she didn't want to live an ordinary life, she could live a luxurious one.
The more she thought about it, the more Emily felt it was a good idea.
However, she rolled over in bed and began to worry again.
With so many excellent women around a man like Nathan, even if she were with him, he might be snatched away one day...
The more she thought about it, the more Emily worried, and in the end, she couldn't sleep.
She turned over and got out of bed.
She pushed open the door and went downstairs, her steps a bit hurried, thinking that Nathan should have left by now.
Who would have guessed that as soon as she got downstairs, she would see that familiar figure being surrounded by her relatives, all chattering and asking him questions.
Nathan was sitting there with a calm expression, answering their myriad of trivial questions with a smile on his face.
Such a scene was rare.
After all, when he was at the company, Nathan was very sparing with his words when dealing with employees. Even in meetings, he rarely spoke, and when he did, it was about the company's lifeline or when a decision had to be made. He never answered so many boring questions from children like now.
For example:
"Mr. Powell, is your suit custom-made? I heard that rich people's suits are designed by designers, is that true?"
"Mr. Powell, how big is the company you run? Was Emily your secretary in the company?"
In short, all kinds of unimportant questions were thrown out one after another.
Emily herself would have rolled her eyes at these questions, but Nathan answered them seriously, one by one.
Emily's heart was actually a bit moved as she stood by and watched him.
Although this was clearly a small matter that anyone would do, Nathan was different from everyone else.
Some things were very precious to specific people, and for Nathan, his time was one of them.
Could it be that he was really serious about her?
But what did he like about her?
Emily was still very doubtful about this. Because of the gap in their wealth and status, Emily had never imagined a future with Nathan.
She had no inappropriate thoughts about him at all, and she was naturally casual and natural in front of him. Forget makeup, sometimes she didn't even care about her image. But even so, he still liked her?
"Emily, you are awake."
While Emily was lost in thought, one of her cousins called her.
At that moment, everyone in the living room looked at her, including Nathan.
Having been discovered, Emily had to walk over, "Where are my mom and aunt?"
"Your blind date today was so awkward, but we didn't want to make a scene, so they sent him away."
Thinking of the man's defensive look just now, and the way he looked at her, Emily couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.
With him like that, they still had to send him away?
But... she seemed to have scolded him in front of Nathan?
Would he think she was a shrew?
It was over; Emily thought she was done for.
She actually started to care about Nathan's opinion of her.
She never cared about it before.
She looked awkwardly at Nathan, who calmly asked, "Didn't you say you were tired and wanted to sleep a bit more?"
Emily scratched her head in embarrassment.
"I did want to sleep, but there was too much going on this morning. I can't sleep now."
Moreover, after he had said so much to her, both her mind and heart were in a mess; how could she sleep?
Nathan curled his lips into a smile, "How about taking a walk nearby?"
"Huh?" A walk nearby?
Realizing how he must be feeling while being surrounded by these people asking a bunch of pointless questions, Emily thought he must be asking for her help, so she quickly nodded. "Sure."
The next second, Nathan stood up, bid farewell to the children, and left with Emily.
Before Emily left, her cousins kept winking and nudging her.
"Go for it, Emily."
"Get the big boss; who needs blind dates?"
They thought they were speaking softly, but Emily heard them clearly, not to mention Nathan who was standing right next to her.
Unless he was deaf, how could he not hear?
Emily pretended to pick up something to throw at them, and they finally left.
After they left, Emily put down the object and smiled awkwardly at Nathan, "They always like to talk nonsense; you don't need to take it to heart."
Unexpectedly, Nathan replied in a light voice, "Is that so? I think they are quite right."
Emily's cheeks turned crimson.
She had had her fill of embarrassment this morning. She was afraid that he would say something else that would make her scalp numb in the next second, so she quickly spoke up before he could continue, "Let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to take a walk nearby? Let's go."
After saying that, Emily pushed him to go; she couldn't wait there any longer, her cousins might say something even worse.
She wasn't very strong, so she shouldn't have been able to push him, but Nathan went along with it.
After getting some distance from home, Emily finally let out a sigh of relief.
Finally, she could get away from them and not be teased.
But Emily, who had just relaxed, quickly realized another problem. She was not in a big city where no one knew her, but in her hometown where everyone she met was a familiar face.
Every two steps, she would probably see someone she knew. She could already imagine her face cramping up from smiling, and, even worse, Nathan was with her.
If they really took a walk; they wouldn't even need to wait until tomorrow. By the afternoon, it would be rumored that she brought a boyfriend home and was showing off by walking around, and by the evening, it would be rumored that she and her boyfriend were already discussing marriage.
By tomorrow, people would be saying that she was already married and had brought her husband back.
Emily knew she would definitely be drowned in rumors, so she stopped walking.
"Never mind, let's not go."
"What's wrong?"
"If we go for a walk, people will definitely misunderstand our relationship."
