Chapter 25: Chapter 25: First Physical Contact
Evan fought hard against the urge to kiss Emma. He kept reminding himself: when chasing a girl — especially your sister-in-law — you must be patient and take it step by step!
Being too eager would only ruin everything!
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? I’m your brother. We’re family. Besides, I understand your situation better than anyone," Evan said gently. He naturally placed his hand behind Emma’s head and softly pulled her closer, letting her rest her head on his shoulder.
"Emma, you’ve been carrying too much. If you want to cry, just cry. From now on, if you feel unhappy or run into any trouble, just tell me. As long as I’m here, I won’t let you suffer."
Evan gently stroked her soft, thick hair, enjoying the sweet, intoxicating scent of her body.

Seeing the wariness and unease in Emma’s status, Evan knew this was the limit. Pushing further now would backfire.
"Alright, Emma. It’s getting late. Let’s go eat," Evan said as he started the car and smoothly drove out of the garage.
After their intimate moment, the atmosphere between them had clearly warmed up.
On the way, Emma became more lively and bold.
Perhaps because she could continue chasing her dream, she happily put her long, smooth white legs up on the dashboard and hummed cheerful songs.
Her round, snow-white thighs made Evan’s mouth water.
Evan drove to a large shopping mall nearby. After treating Emma to Korean barbecue, he followed her suggestion and went shopping with her.
He had already guessed she would want to shop after eating, so he chose the biggest mall in the area.
More importantly, this mall had an LV store.
Evan’s goal today was simple: spend money!
He would use money and emotional support to slowly open Emma’s heart.
But spending money also required skill!
If he had directly given Emma $15,000 to spend, her proud personality would have made her refuse. She might have even become more suspicious.
But framing it as supporting her dream and helping her as family created a completely different effect.
The same applied to buying a bag.
Evan could directly buy Sophia a Bulgari watch, but he couldn’t just buy Emma an LV bag out of nowhere.
He needed to create a natural opportunity for her to accept the gift.
That way, it would feel more sincere and touch her heart.
Remembering that Emma liked bubble tea, Evan bought two cups from Starbucks while she was trying on clothes.
"Evan, let me buy you some clothes? Yours look a bit old," Emma said happily as she took the bubble tea from him and naturally linked her arm with his.
"Sure. I trust my little sister’s taste. Pick something handsome for me," Evan replied. Having Emma hold his arm made his heart flutter with joy.
It really felt like they were on a date.
Shopping with Emma made Evan feel like he was back in his university days.
"Miss, would you like this dress? It looks great on you. Ask your boyfriend," a sales assistant smiled warmly and held up a floral dress.
"Ah!..."
Emma’s face turned bright red. She quickly let go of Evan’s arm and said shyly, "You misunderstood... He’s my brother..."
Evan smiled and pointed at the dress. "Emma, this dress really suits you. Do you like it?"
Just because the assistant was so good at talking, Evan decided to buy it.
"No need... I already have lots of clothes at home... The clothes here are so expensive..." Emma whispered in his ear, trying to pull him away.
Evan smiled calmly and said to the assistant, "Wrap it up. I’ll take this dress."
With over $130,000 left to spend, buying a few clothes was nothing.
Having money felt really good.
