No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 402

Chapter 402 Is He Upset?

A wave of warmth spread through Amelia’s chest.

The car she had driven before had been registered under Ethan’s name.

When the divorce happened, she had essentially walked away with nothing. Aside from her personal belongings, she had taken nothing with her. That car, of course, had stayed behind at Rowe Villa.

Nora and Evan’s gift could not have come at a better time.

Still, she quickly closed the box and tried to hand it back. “This is too much. I can’t accept it.”

A Mercedes cost no less than several hundred thousand, easily over a million.

She had only just moved into Everett Residence. How could she possibly accept something so valuable?

“There’s nothing wrong with accepting it,” Evan said. This time, his tone was firm, leaving no room for refusal.

He looked at her with genuine sincerity. “Amelia, all these years you lived at Harlow Estate, you went through so many hardships, both openly and quietly. Back then … I wasn’t in good physical shape and couldn’t really look after you the way I should have. I’ve always felt guilty about that. Now that you’ve finally come back, this is just something I want to do.”

He paused. Seeing that Amelia was still hesitant, his voice softened, and he added with a hint of humor, “And if you really feel it’s too much, then work hard. When my legs recover and you’re earning well, you can give me a big gift in return. Just think of it as … borrowing a little sibling affection in advance.”

The idea of returning the favor subtly eased Amelia’s discomfort about receiving kindness without giving anything back.

She looked into Evan’s sincere eyes, then at the encouragement in Nora’s gaze, and her eyes slowly

reddened.

How long had it been since she’d felt this kind of pure, no–strings–attached care from family?

In the end, she sniffed softly, held the small box tightly in her hands, and said quietly, “Thank you, Evan.”

Just as she accepted it, Mason, who had been standing nearby, suddenly spoke.

His brows drew together slightly as he looked at his mother and older brother. There was a faint trace of something hard to read in his tone. Maybe … resentment?

“Why give her a car? Is it because you think no one’s taking her to and from work every day?”

Nora paused for a moment, then caught on. A teasing smile flashed in her eyes. “Oh? What’s that supposed to mean? From the way you’re saying it, are you planning to drive Amelia to and from work every day, no matter the weather?”

Mason met his mother’s teasing gaze without backing down and replied as if it were only natural, “Why

wouldn’t I?”

“Ahem!”

Evan cleared his throat at just the right moment, amused as he looked at his younger brother whose possessiveness was all but impossible to hide. He shook his head and explained to Amelia, “Having your own car and having someone drive you are two different things. They don’t conflict. Just ignore him. He’s just…”

Evan deliberately dragged out the last word, casting Mason a meaningful glance before slowly delivering his conclusion. “What’s wrong with you? You almost sounds like you’re jealous,”

The living room fell silent for a brief moment.

Amelia instinctively looked up and met Mason’s dark eyes.

The instant their gazes locked, it was as if both of them had been burned. They looked away at the same time, an unspoken awkwardness spreading through the air.

Nora and Evan exchanged a glance and saw the same understanding reflected in each other’s eyes.

One by one, the lights in the living room were turned off. The mansion, noisy all day, finally settled into complete quiet.

Amelia returned to her room on the second floor.

The room was silent. Mason did not come.

Ever since they had confirmed their relationship during the trip, this seemed to be the first time Mason had not appeared in her room.

And she had already grown accustomed to falling asleep each night with someone whose presence felt so strong beside her.

An inexplicable emptiness settled in Amelia’s chest.

She walked over to the bed and sat down, her mind replaying his expression during dinner without her meaning to.

Is he upset?

The moment the thought surfaced, her heart tightened slightly.

She knew she should not think that way. Mason was not that kind of person.

But when it came to feelings, people were always prone to insecurity.

She tossed and turned for a long time. In the end, she could not help reaching for the phone on the nightstand.

Carefully, she typed three words and sent them, testing the waters.

“Are you asleep?”
