Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: I Have Someone I Like Now

As she was looking at Lyle Westbrook, Lyle was also looking at her. When he saw that the person entering the room was her, the surprise in his Peach Blossom Eyes gradually turned into disappointment and bitterness.

Emilia Goldsmith was distracted, so she didn’t notice the subtle changes in his eyes. She took a deep breath, lifted the corners of her mouth, and walked to his hospital bed with feigned ease, saying, “Long time no see.”

“Yeah.” Lyle had hidden the disappointment and bitterness in his eyes and greeted her indifferently.

Emilia, who had been repressing her emotions, felt a twinge of pain in her chest when she saw that after half a year, he was still the same as before, as if there had been no break in contact with her at all. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and tried to appear calm and rational, “How did you get into a car accident? What did the doctor say? How are you feeling?”

“I’m fine.”

Lyle shifted his gaze away from her and refocused on the laptop.

Emilia, not new to knowing him, realized he was again worried about Westbrook Family matters. She pulled up a stool and sat down by his bed, quietly observing his face.

Her gaze was incredibly complex. Suddenly, she broke the silence, “I’ve thought a lot in these six months without contact.”

The man who had been looking down at his laptop raised his head. Although he was aloof, he was gentlemanly enough not to continue with his work while she spoke and turned his Peach Blossom Eyes toward her.

Emilia could feel the gaze on her, as well as her own Heartbeat accelerating because of it.

She seemed to gather her courage and abruptly stood up, placing her hands on the bed, leaning forward, and moving to kiss those thin lips…

Just as she could smell the scent of rosemary, she was stopped by a hand on her shoulder.

The man propped up on the bed furrowed his brows and pushed her away, showing some displeasure, “What are you doing?”

It was the first time that Emilia had taken the initiative to offer a kiss only to be rejected so impassively. She looked directly into the eyes that stirred her heart and spoke with deliberate seriousness, word by word, “Lyle Westbrook, I like you!”

—Lyle Westbrook, I like you!

—I like you!

—Like you!

Each word was pronounced with conviction, immensely firm, as if she had wanted to say this for a long time.

“I know, I used to say the same to you, and back then I always said it in a joking, probing tone. You might have thought I wasn’t serious, but I was. The reason I used that tone is because, after all, I am the First Young Lady of the Goldsmith Family. Even if I don’t care for my own pride, the family does. But now, I don’t want to beat around the bush with you anymore, I like you! Seriously! I’m not getting any younger, and I want an answer, or at least a deadline. Tell me, how much longer do I need to wait for you to consider a suitable Wife?”

She had finally spoken the words in her heart, pouring them all out at once.

“I know you don’t have someone you like yet, but you will have to marry eventually. I’ll say it again, I don’t require you to like me now, only that when you’re considering a suitable marriage partner, you know that I like you and consider me as your first option. I understand Westbrook Family’s situation, and nobody is more suitable than I am to stand by your side. You also need a Wife who can help you adjust family member relations and manage social interactions, I think I…”

She hadn’t finished speaking when she was abruptly interrupted, “I’ve found someone I like.”
