Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change? novel Chapter 929

"Why would you think that?"

Emily was taken aback, "Wasn't she someone you deliberately placed by my side?"

"..." James found himself at a loss for words.

Indeed, he now deeply regretted his actions!

How could he not have seen that Caroline was up to no good, bringing trouble right to his doorstep!

"You don't think..."

Emily's eyes sparkled mischievously, a playful smile forming on her lips, "You know she's got a crush on you, right?"

"!" James stiffened, his face turning rigid, "You... knew?"

"Yeah."

Emily nodded, chuckling, "I've known for a while now."

"Since when?" James was genuinely surprised.

"The first time I met her..."

Emily reminisced, "It was that time you mentioned you were 'switching girlfriends,' in your office, when I saw her."

Was it then?

James vaguely remembered, but the details were hazy, "That early? How could you tell?"

"It was obvious."

Emily shrugged, "It was clear as day that Caroline only had eyes for you..."

"That obvious? Just by looking?"

Suddenly, he grasped her chin, forcing her to look at him, "What about me? I only have eyes for you. How come you never noticed?"

"..." Emily was taken aback.

She wasn't prepared for his sudden romantic outburst.

Failing to respond, James could only offer a wry smile, changing the subject, "You never want to share anything with me. Are you upset that I brought Caroline into your orbit?"

Emily pursed her lips, not denying it.

Indeed, she wasn't particularly fond of Caroline.

"Don't worry, I'll find a way to remove Caroline from the picture, so she won't bother you anymore."

James sighed, a mix of helplessness and affection in his tone, "I spoil you so much, yet you never take advantage of that, do you?"

Emily simply pouted, remaining silent.

James's phone began to vibrate in his pocket.
