Chapter 355 - Kiss Her More Often (1/2)
Emerson arrived at the airport 2 hours early. Practically, the moment he arrived at Hong Kong airport, Avaleigh and Danson had just boarded their plane in Shanghai, but he didn't mind waiting. When he spoke to Avaleigh earlier, he could tell from her voice that something was wrong and it made him a little anxious, so he raced to the airport straight away. He had never worried about a person so much.
Did something go wrong with her audition? Or did something happen with her mother and father? Regardless of what it was, he wanted to be there to support her as soon as she stepped out of the airport.
Meanwhile, on the plane, Danson glanced at Avaleigh and noticed she had calmed down a little, so he finally asked, ”Did something happen? Why are you in such a rush to get back to Hong Kong?”
Avaleigh bit her lip and laughed at herself. Now that she had a bit of time to calm down, she realized how impulsive she had been. But, she still had a question that bothered her.
”Danson, you've known Marissa and Emerson for a long time. Do you think Emerson still likes Marissa? If given the chance, do you think they will eventually end up together?” she asked straightforwardly. Avaleigh wasn't the kind to beat around the bush. If there was still something between Emerson and Marissa, then she didn't want to get in the way. She would rather leave Emerson and focus on her career like she had always done. After all, they had just started dating and had only shared one proper kiss. She could still back out before she fell too deep...
But, to her surprise, Danson burst into laughter. ”Who told you that Emerson likes Marissa? He's never liked her! If they were to be together, it would have happened already.”
Avaleigh looked at Danson in surprise, ”But, Emerson said he had a crush on someone for over a decade. Isn't that Marissa?”
Danson laughed and shook his head, ”Don't tell me this is the reason why you're rushing back all of a sudden.
Danson couldn't believe that Avaleigh was acting so impulsively, but he was also a little envious of Emerson. A beautiful young idol was actually jealous because of him. It seemed, all the hard work that Emerson had done behind-the-scenes was worth it this time. Last time he had put in a lot of effort to pursue Halia, but she ended up marrying his brother. This time, his efforts did not go to waste.
With a smile, he said comfortingly, ”Trust me, as his friend, I can tell how much he likes you. You don't have to worry about a thing. Besides, he's never had a crush on Marissa, they are just friends, I can guarantee that. The person he liked is already married and he has completely moved on. Didn't you hear how worried he sounded when he heard you were suddenly returning to Hong Kong? Apparently, he jumped straight into his car after he received your call. I bet he's already waiting for you at the airport.”
Avaleigh looked at Danson in surprise, ”Really? He's already waiting for me?”
Danson nodded, ”He didn't even finish dinner...”
Avaleigh frowned and looked at her watch worriedly. It was 8pm. By the time she arrived back in Hong Kong, it would be 10pm. Why didn't he, at least, finish eating first. He had plenty of time. Avaleigh shook her head and laughed. Both of them were as silly as each other.
How could she have doubted him?
She realized she had been too impulsive and childish, but she suddenly had another reason for rushing back to Hong Kong. She was no longer jealous of Marissa since Danson confirmed that Emerson had no feelings for her, but her heart was suddenly overflowing with emotions.
