Chapter 347

Just as I started to wonder who this person might be, Noah called me.

“Hey, Emi. You don’t need to worry about what’s happening online. Uncle Will told me he’s already found evidence and will take action very soon. I’ll be wrapping things up here and heading back soon too, Emi, so you don’t have to be afraid of anyone anymore!” he said over the phone.

After completing his master’s, Noah started managing things for the Ashford family and his maternal grandfather’s side of the family.

As such, he was always on the go, flying to different countries. This time, he had been gone for over a month and had been in Eutanzia. Because he was so far away, he didn’t know William had already exposed the video online as soon as he got it.

Noah was so busy, and yet he was still concerned for me. I felt touched.

“You should focus on what you need to do, Noah, and rest whenever you can,” I said. “You don’t have to worry about me too much.”

Cordelia had asked me to look after him. But all this time, he had been taking care of me instead. Noah would always think of everything thoroughly on my behalf.

After a brief silence, he said, “But you matter most to me, Emi–everything I do, I do it for you.”

He had made himself so busy and been pushing himself to grow in such a short period. The reason for it all was so he could have a chance to be with me, the “sister” he cherished most.

I didn’t know how to respond to his statement. While I was at a loss, Noah quickly mentioned needing to attend a meeting and ended the call.

After he confessed, the way he called me “Emi” was no longer the same. It wasn’t with the sibling–like tone or in a familial way. His tone had clearly shifted to that of someone who was trying to pursue me.

From time to time, he would express his romantic feelings toward me again. However, he was never overly forward or pushy. It was as though he just wanted me to know that his feelings for me went beyond sibling–like love and that he felt for me the way a man would feel for a woman.

Each time, I would make it clear to him that I only saw him as a brother and that I had no interest in dating. But despite this, Noah still continued doing so.

We hadn’t spent much time together in the past year, and with him being away so often, it was even harder to create more distance between us.

Now that he was out seeing the world and would meet even more women, all I could do was hope his feelings for me would eventually change.

William had coldly scoffed at my hopes upon learning of it and told me it was impossible. He claimed Noah’s feelings for me and his desire to be with me were more like an obsession than just romantic attraction.

As a child, Noah had been kidnapped by a rival family. Not only had he suffered severe abuse, but he had also been force–fed all sorts of drugs. The drugs were the reason he was so short and chubby during his early years. On top of that, they had also psychologically scarred him deeply.

During the three darkest years of Noah’s life, I had stayed by his side and became his light in the darkness. People who had lived in darkness often cherished light much more than others who hadn’t. They would want it, crave it, and desp ely try to hold

onto it.

As such, Noah’s desperation made him idealize me to the point where his feelings for me deepened. And because of this, he was hellbent on being with me.

On top of that, people’s desire for something tended to intensify the more they couldn’t have it. So, his obsession with me only grew stronger over the years.
