Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Intimacy Jump
"Evan? What’s wrong? Is there something on me?" Emma asked curiously, looking down at herself.
Because Evan was treating her to a meal, Emma didn’t get angry this time. She simply blushed shyly.
[Current State: Sad, wary, lonely, helpless]
Evan noticed the status bar above Emma’s head. Although she appeared cheerful on the surface, she was actually feeling very sad and down.
She was definitely still hurting from last night and upset about the $15,000 recommendation fee.
"It’s nothing. I was just thinking how beautiful and adorable my little sister is. It’ll be hard to let you go when you eventually get married," Evan said with a gentle smile.
Emma smiled proudly and replied playfully, "Then I’ll do what my sister did and make my future husband marry into our family."
"Your boyfriend is a rich second-generation guy. How could he be willing to be a live-in son-in-law like me? You’ve seen how hard it is for me, right?" Evan shook his head with a smile and opened the passenger door for her. "Please get in, our future big star!"
Hearing the words "big star," Emma’s face instantly fell. She looked lost and dejected.
"Evan, I’ve thought about it... I should just give up. I really shouldn’t ask Mom and Dad for that much money for the audition. Since no one supports me, I’ll forget it. Maybe I’m only meant to live an ordinary life as a regular office worker..."
"Dreams... are just jokes in front of reality!"
As soon as they got in the car, Emma turned her head to the side and said sadly.
Evan noticed that Emma was crying.
Seeing this beautiful, lively girl in tears made Evan feel both heartache and secret delight.
This was the moment when a woman was most vulnerable and needed comfort. He couldn’t waste this golden opportunity!
"Silly girl, who said no one supports you? Didn’t I tell you before? I understand you, and I’ll always support you! If you have a dream, go chase it! Don’t worry about anything else — I’ve got your back!" Evan said gently. He took out his phone, opened his banking app, and continued comforting her.
"Thank you, Evan, but..." Emma wanted to say that his support alone wasn’t enough, but she swallowed the words.
At that moment, Emma’s phone vibrated.
"$15,000 has been deposited into your bank account!"
Emma froze, then quickly pulled out her phone. She stared at the notification in disbelief.
[Your friend Evan has transferred $15,000 to you.]
"Hiss!!..." Emma gasped sharply, her eyes widening in shock.
"Evan! You... this is..." For a moment, Emma was completely speechless.
Excitement, gratitude, and deep emotion flooded her heart.
"Evan said he would support you. Of course it wasn’t just empty words. Use this money to pay your teacher. I’ll go with you to the audition! Whatever difficulties you face, I’ll help you carry them!" Evan smiled warmly and naturally reached out to wipe the tears from Emma’s face.
His action was gentle and caring. Emma didn’t think too much of it and allowed his hand to touch her cheek.
This was their first intimate physical contact, and their relationship instantly grew warmer.
Emma’s skin was incredibly smooth and soft, snow-white and flawless. Touching it made Evan intoxicated.
"Evan... thank you... you’re too good to me..." Emma looked at him with teary eyes, overwhelmed with gratitude. She had so much she wanted to say but didn’t know how to express it.
[Current State: Grateful, touched, happy, excited, hopeful]
[Intimacy: +20 (61 — Familiar)]
[Achievement Unlocked: First Physical Contact with Sister-in-Law — Reward: Appearance +1 (71)]
Seeing the intimacy jump by 20 points, Evan cheered excitedly in his heart.
This $15,000 was spent so well!
Since things had already reached this point...
Should he push a little further?
Looking at Emma’s beautiful, tear-filled eyes and her plump, glossy lips, Evan felt an irresistible urge. Those soft, inviting lips were so close.
Any normal man would want to kiss her gently in this atmosphere.
