Chapter 301 - See You Later (2/2)

Emerson looked at the woman apologetically and said, ”It may have been because of me.”

”You?” Avaleigh looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

”She likes me...” Emerson said.

Avaleigh nodded her head, ”Yes, she's made that pretty clear. But, what does that have to do with me?”

Emerson glanced around to check that no one was looking and slowly leaned in towards Avaleigh's ear, ”I think she noticed that I like you...”

Avaleigh felt the man's breath brush against her ear and heart began to race. At that moment, she remembered the question she wanted to ask earlier. She had wanted to know why he tried to kiss her. Was this the answer? Did he like her?

”Did she misunderstand?” Avaleigh checked nervously.

Emerson moved away and stared dotingly into Avaleigh's eyes. Without answering her question right away, he said, ”Don't worry, I won't let her touch a single hair on your body from now on.”

”From now on?” Avaleigh asked in confusion.

”Yes...because no one can touch my woman...” Emerson replied domineeringly.

Avaleigh felt her entire body turn to jelly when she heard this. She even dropped the empty water bottle in her hand onto the floor. His woman?

Filled with nervousness, she quickly stood up to grab the bottle and said awkwardly, ”I need to return to the stage for the rest of the concert...I'll...I'll see you later...”

Even though she had plenty of fans and admirers, this was the first time a man confessed to her like this, and she didn't know how to respond.

With a shy smile, she turned around and scurried behind a curtain to get changed.

As she walked off, Emerson smiled to himself. Avaleigh had subconsciously accepted his feelings. Rather than rejecting him or denying that she was his woman, she said she would see him later. His heart lit up when he realized what this meant. With a smile, he left the backstage and made a phone call, ”What's good for replenishing the body after a stomach ache?”
