Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 595 Becoming Unlike Herself

After nearly half an hour of conversation, Emily asked when she would be coming back as they were about to hang up.

"I'll be back in the country in a couple of days."

Hearing the news of her return, Emily immediately said, "I'll come to pick you up then, along with Ruby and Dylan."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Emily opened her phone. She had originally planned to buy New Year's gifts for Dylan and Ruby, but she had forgotten to do so when they came back. In addition, they had gone abroad for the New Year, so she hadn't made up for it later.

Now that she heard they were coming back and she was going to pick them up, it was a good time to make up for the gifts.

However, after checking her phone, she found that many stores were not open during the New Year, and deliveries had also stopped.

She gave up the idea of buying gifts for the two children online, and Emily decided to go into town to buy them.

She had planned to go into town alone, but then she thought of Nathan.

Since she had decided to develop a relationship with him, shouldn't she integrate into his life in all aspects?

Asking him to accompany her to buy gifts for the children should be a small matter, right?

If he wasn't even willing to do this, then there was no need for her to develop a relationship with him.

After making up her mind, Emily found a time to call Nathan.

Receiving a call from her, Nathan was somewhat surprised.

"You're calling me?"

Hearing his deep voice, Emily blushed a little.

"Can't..., can't I?"

A low chuckle came from the other end.

"Of course, you can. If you agree to be with me, you can call me every day."

The way he said that...

Emily, being quite rebellious, instinctively retorted.

"So, if I'm not with you, I can't call you?"

"If you're not with me, why would you call me? Aren't you afraid I'll misunderstand?"

Emily pouted, not answering.

Suddenly, Nathan asked, "Is this your answer?"

Hearing this, Emily was taken aback, "What?"

"Calling me."

After realizing what he meant, Emily quickly denied it.

"No, I just called you. What does that have to do with my answer?"

"Okay, then why did you call me?"

After he said that, Emily, who had originally planned to ask him to go shopping with her, suddenly felt too embarrassed to speak.

She just called him, and he thought it was her answer. If she actively asked him to accompany her to shop, wouldn't that...

No, no, even though she had decided to give it a try with him, she couldn't let him have it too easy, right? Otherwise, it would seem like she was too cheap. After going through the idea completely in her head, Emily immediately denied, "Nothing, I just dialed the wrong number."

"Mis-dialed?"

"Yes, I just dialed the wrong number, sorry for the disturbance."

After saying that, Emily didn't care about his reaction and hurriedly hung up.

After hanging up, she covered her chest and took a deep breath.

Indeed, it's better to buy the gifts by herself. If he doesn't come to her, she shouldn't go to him for now.

As she was pondering, her phone began to vibrate again.

Emily glanced at the caller ID, and it was actually Nathan calling back.

Seeing his name, Emily's heart rate uncontrollably quickened. After some thought, she still answered the call. "What... what is it?"

Unexpectedly, Nathan suddenly spoke, "Should I come to pick you up now?"

Emily: "Why would you pick me up?"

He chuckled lightly on the other end, "Nothing in particular, just want to see you."

Emily: "..."

"Is that okay?"

"Well... okay then."

If he's the one coming to find her, she doesn't need to refuse, right?

"Alright, wait for me."

After hanging up, Emily realized she was still in her casual clothes. She quickly jumped out of bed to change, and then sat in front of the vanity to put on makeup. While applying lipstick, she suddenly realized that she might be too dressed up, so she quickly wiped off the bright lipstick color on her lips and replaced it with a daily light rose color. After changing her lipstick, Emily felt that her makeup didn't look too exaggerated.

About half an hour later, Nathan arrived.

Emily thought for a moment, went around to the back seat, and just as she opened the car door, she heard him say, "Do you want to treat me as a driver? Come to the front." Emily was embarrassed by his words and had to go around to the front.

As soon as she sat down, Nathan leaned over to fasten her seatbelt. His masculine scent instantly surrounded her, and Emily was so nervous she dared not breathe. Nathan calmly fastened her seatbelt for her, and when he looked up, he saw that she was so nervous that her eyes were darting around, completely avoiding his gaze. "So nervous just from fastening a seatbelt? Are you afraid I'll do something to you?"

Hearing him speak, Emily finally reacted and instinctively retorted.

"No, how could you possibly do anything to me?"

She chuckled awkwardly as she spoke.

But because she turned her head, the distance between the two of them was shortened.

In the narrow space, their breaths almost intertwined, and the atmosphere instantly became more ambiguous.

"Is that so?" Nathan, who was always upright, replied in a husky voice at this moment, "How are you so sure that I won't do anything to you?"

Emily was immediately frozen.

After a few seconds of eye contact, Emily turned her face away and said awkwardly, "You... you should start driving."

This reaction elicited a low chuckle from Nathan.

"Don't worry, before you agree to be with me, even if I want to, I will respect you."

With that, Nathan leaned back to drive.

After the car left the village, it quickly merged into the traffic.

During this short journey, Emily was lost in her thoughts because of his words.

What did he mean by, before she agreed to be with him, even if he wanted to, he would respect her?

Did he really want to do something to her?

Thinking back to when he leaned in just now, she could even see the pores on his face when he was close, and his thin lips. His lip color was a light pink, which looked very healthy, and the touch must be very soft. She was so nervous and confused at the time.

But now she couldn't help but wonder, if he had really kissed her then, would she have refused?

It seemed... she wouldn't?

Thinking of this possibility, Emily's heartbeat uncontrollably raced, her face and neck were hot, and she couldn't help but lower the car window, letting the cold wind outside rush in to dissipate the heat on her body. She was really not pure anymore.

Ever since he had said those words to her before, her mind had been filled with all sorts of thoughts, and she had become unlike herself.

The cold wind made Emily shiver a little, but it also sobered her up a lot.

However, the cold wind didn't last long, and the car window moved up again.

She turned her head to look at Nathan, only to see his handsome side profile. He was driving attentively and said softly, "It's cold outside, opening the window can easily cause a cold."
