Star Actress 150

 

Chapter 150 

“You don’t have to answer me tight away. Liking you is my business. I’m telling you because I want a chance to pursue you 

Daniel’s eyes were locked on her, unwavering. 

Emily found herself unable to say no. 

She dug her nails into her palm to keep herself from acting impulsively. 

When she looked up again, she masked the emotions in her eyes. “Daniel, I’m sorry…” 

Just hearing those words made Daniel’s eyes go dim. 

Emily wasn’t really rejecting him; she just didn’t want to rush into a relationship this time. 

“I’m not in the right mindset for a relationship right now. You know, because of what happened with James, I lost faith in love.” 

Plus, she was busy with her career and genuinely had a lot on her plate. 

Daniel felt like he was on an emotional rollercoaster. 

But at least she didn’t say that she had no feelings for him at all. She was just afraid of getting hurt, so she didn’t dare to take that step. 

“I get it,” Daniel said sincerely. “I can wait for you. I just hope that when you’re ready for a relationship, I get the first chance.” 

His genuine words made it impossible for Emily not to be moved. 

Besides, she shouldn’t punish him for her ex’s mistakes. He had always been good to her, supporting her unconditionally. 

“Okay, I will.” 

Emily nodded, giving Daniel the chance he asked for. 

A smile spread across his face, his eyes crinkling with joy. 

Emily rarely saw him smile like that, and it was quite charming. 

Maybe because they had cleared the air, Emily found it easier to be around him. 

She expressed her needs openly, “I think I’m a bit hungry.” 

Daniel noticed her relaxed attitude towards him, and his mood lightened, his voice becoming more cheerful. 

“Alright, see if you like the food. If not, I’ll have the hotel send something else.” 

Daniel opened the food containers. 

 

The aroma of the dishes filled the air. 

Emily had only felt a bit hungry before, but now her stomach was growling. 

Daniel noticed her expression and smiled indulgently. 

“Wait a moment!” 

Daniel went to get a towel and brought it to Emily to wipe her hands. 

Emily felt a bit embarrassed, as if she were being treated as helpless. 

“That’s not really necessary…” 

“If I say I’m going to pursue you, I need to show it through actions, not just words.” 

Daniel felt it was something he should do. In fact, he thought he hadn’t done enough for her. Often, she handled things on her own. 

Emily felt awkward eating alone, so she shared the meal with Daniel. 

She then remembered to ask if she was interrupting his business trip to Regal City. 

“The matter is already resolved. This was just a side trip.” Daniel replied casually. 

Emily understood the implication. She was actually his main purpose. 

Her heart softened even more. 

Since there was nothing else to do, Emily and Daniel returned to Silverlight City together in the afternoon. 

Emily didn’t expect to see Chase, Aiden, and James at her home. 

It seemed Chase had found out her address from Bianca or James, but this neighborhood wasn’t easy to get into without James’ help. 

Violette saw Emily return and, like a child who had done something wrong, nervously walked over to apologize. “Emily, I’m sorry. I should have stopped them, but Aiden said he was looking for me, so I opened the door. I didn’t expect them to come in.” 

Emily guessed why they were there and didn’t blame Violette. 

“Violette, it’s okay. They’re here now. Even though I’ve cut ties with them, that’s between me and them. I won’t force you to make any choices. After all, you’ve known them for years.”
