Chapter 291 He Sees Everything

Daniel understood what she was implying. After a brief hesitation, he muttered, "I'll ask them."

With that, he took out his phone and made a call.

The crowd seemed to regain a bit of their confidence. "So what if Charmaine refuses to help us? We still have Daniel!"

"Exactly! At least now we've seen her true nature!"

"That's right. Background matters. Daniel and Leah come from noble families- they have proper upbringing and impeccable manners. Unlike Charmaine, who-" Before the person could finish, Daniel's expression darkened.

"What did you say? We have to wait?"

The others couldn't hear what was being said on the other end, but they watched as Daniel hung up, his expression darkening.

Leah forced a smile, lowering her voice. "Daniel, what's wrong?"

Daniel took a deep breath before replying, "They've reached the entrance of the mountain road, but Rex is stuck at the foot of the mountain. They have to rescue him first before they can get to us."

"What? How did that even happen?"

Everyone was bewildered. What kind of day was this? First Emyr, now Rex?

Inside the spacious car, the ride remained smooth despite the steep mountain road.

Charmaine's phone kept buzzing with messages from Celeste, who beamed with excitement and showered her with endless praise.

Charmaine couldn't help but suspect that if Celeste were physically next to her, she would be clinging to her for dear life, refusing to let go.

Though she felt a sense of satisfaction, something else weighed on her mind.

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the man beside her, who sat with his eyes closed.

"Are you just wandering around, or have you been following me?"

Emyr kept his eyes shut, but all his senses were heightened, attuned to the sound

of leather shifting as the person beside him leaned in.

As Charmaine spoke, her breath brushed lightly against him, sending a faint shiver down his spine.

For a brief moment, his heartbeat faltered.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of mystery flickering within them.

"Are you unhappy that I'm following you?"

Charmaine's heart stuttered.

His stare was too intense. Sensing an underlying danger, she quickly looked away. "Why would I be? I just didn't expect it. That's all."

She took a deep breath and chuckled. "But it's good to get out once in a while. You're always either at home or at the company. A little time in nature wouldn't hurt."

Emyr scoffed. "Eastlake Manor is bigger than this entire mountain,"

Charmaine's heart skipped a beat.

She knew he was being sarcastic, and she was used to his sharp remarks.

But why did it suddenly feel like he was implying that he came here just for her?noveldrama

The thought alone made her feel ridiculous.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself, but her thoughts were in complete disarray.

Without thinking, she spoke in a casual tone, "I assumed you would accept Veronica's request."

As the words left her mouth, regret hit her instantly.

She had just walked herself right into another tricky situation!

Right on cue, Emyr let out a chuckle.

The leather seat shifted slightly as he leaned in. Placing his hands behind her, he unintentionally caused her to slide closer, her shoulder pressing against his

chest.

The sudden proximity made it feel as though she was wrapped in his embrace, his warmth radiating against her skin, the space between them far too close.

Her mind spun in confusion, her heart pounding.

"So, you turned them down just because of Veronica?"

Her heartbeat raced, thudding wildly in her chest.

She quickly clarified, "I refused, not because of Veronica, but because I didn't think it was necessary

for

them."

Emyr chuckled, his usually cool voice laced with something softer, almost indulgent. "I figured you just go along with it."

"You saw everything?"

"I saw it all."

Once again, he openly admitted that he had been keeping an eye on her all

along.
