Chapter 760 Teasing Drake

Calum had sent that text.

Emma assumed he was only texting her because he missed her. However, she quickly realized that wasn’t the case after reading his message.

Calum had texted her, saying, “Emma, are you busy? Corvin posted a picture of the wooden carving you gave him in the group chat. I want one too. Can I have one?”

Calum had always been a straight shooter. So, he wouldn’t beat around the bush if he wanted something. Instead, he would just tell her right off the bat.

She stared at the screen as she thought wryly, Corvin, you blabbermouth.

She really should have expected this. After all, Corvin could never keep a secret even if his life depended on it.

So, she replied to Calum, “You’ll have one. I’ve already bought the wood needed for your wooden carving.”

She wasn’t the type to play favorites, so she would definitely try to keep things as far as possible.

Still, which group chat did Corvin post that in?

She was in all their group chats, so why hadn’t she seen his text?

Did he start a new group chat behind her back again?

She was just about to ask Silas about it when her lightcore vibrated.

This time, the notification showed that she’d gotten a text from Malrik.

Emma didn’t even need to read it to know why he was texting her right now. He was definitely going to ask her for a wood carving as well.

She sighed and opened the message.

Malrik started off with something completely unrelated to his goal, asking, “Emma, it’s been so many days since we last met. Do you miss me?”

Then, he continued, “You’ve been on my mind ever since we parted. By the way, I just saw the photo Corvin posted in the group chat. It was a picture of the gift you gave him. I’m so jealous. Perhaps I should’ve stayed by your side just so I could get a gift from you, too?”

Unlike Calum, Malrik was a bit more subtle with his approach,

Emma simply copied the message she had sent to Calum earlier. “You’ll have one. I’ve already bought the wood needed for your wooden carving”

Malrik’s answer was swift and happy, “I knew it. You’re the best, Emma.”

She’d just finished reading his reply when she received a text from Drake

He asked, “Emma, are you busy? I’m not bothering you, am I? It’s nothing urgent. I just wanted to ask you when you’ll be coming

home.”

Emma arched a brow at his text and chuckled in amusement. Ah, he really is an awkward one when it comes to his real feelings, isn’t he?

Before Emma could reply, she saw a notification at the bottom of the screen saying, “Drake is typing…”

It kept popping up and disappearing over and over again before she finally received his next text message. “I just saw the gift you made for Corvin in the group chat. It looks very nice.”

Emma immediately burst into giggles when she read it.

She had assumed that Drake would take forever before finally coming clean, what with his awkward personality and all.

Still, she wasn’t about to go easy on him.

Instead, she pretended not to understand what he was implying. “Oh, you think it looks good? That’s good to hear. It looks like I’m quite the carpenter.”

Drake was sunbathing on the top floor. Unfortunately, he couldn’t really enjoy it, his lips pursing upon reading her reply.

He knew Emma understood what he was trying to convey, but she was playing dumb.

Drake sighed fondly as his lips quirked into a resigned smile, typing his response. “Yes, it’s beautiful. You’re very skilled. Everyone was clamoring for one in the group chat, but I told them I didn’t want one because I was worried you’ll drive yourself to exhaustion.”

“Still, I’ve clearly overestimated myself. I want one too.”

He sent her a wall of text. Then, he inhaled deeply as he tried to tamp down his anxiety.

He wasn’t sure whether Emma would carve one for him if he worded it so bluntly. Nevertheless, he figured he should be more… honest when it came to his desires.

After all, Thero was right. He couldn’t keep relying on Emma to guess what was on his mind.

Emma stared when she saw the paragraph on the screen. She was somewhat surprised by it, but she immediately became thrilled after reading it.

She was delighted that Drake had taken the initiative to tell her his true thoughts,

Emma had a smile on her face as she responded, “How could I possibly say no after reading all that? Still, I’d be even happier if you could call me and say gently, ‘Emma, the wooden carving you gave Corvin is really beautiful. I like it very much. Can I have one?“”

Her lightcore rang right after she pressed send.

She had an incoming video call from Drake.

She could see the terrace on the top floor when the holo–monitor flickered to life.

Drake was lying in a large rocking chair, still covered by a thin blanket that only exposed his upper body.

He had a black silk shirt of exquisite quality on with the collar loosely open, revealing a large expanse of his fair skin.

The sunlight spilled over his exposed collarbones and chest, making the faint blue veins beneath his skin seem almost visible.

His eyes were half–shut, his long lashes casting a small shadow over his high cheekbones. It gave her the illusion that he was a frail and dainty flower. Nonetheless, that ill

on was quickly shattered by the aura of dominance that he radiated despite his weakened state.

He had a natural, commanding presence that could never be taken from him.

“What’s the occasion?” Emma asked with a smile as her eyes fell on Drake’s figure through the holo–monitor.

“Didn’t you just say he trailed off his eyelashes fluttering His earlobes had turned a faint shade of pink, his eyes shifting with bashfulness before focusing on Emma’s amused face.

Then, he continued. “Didn’t you say that you wanted me to say something?”

Emma was surprised, but the mirth in her eyes deepened.

She had only been teasing him. So, she hadn’t expected a proud dragon like him to actually take it so seriously. She definitely. didn’t expect him to go for it right away. In fact, he didn’t even hesitate to do as she requested.

“So, are you ready to say it?” Emma rested her chin on her hand, her eyes glimmering with cheeky anticipation. “so, are yo
