The only time he ever took action was when he saw Casey, a royal descendant, passionately pursuing Emilia, and took Emilia off the field.
The two of them running against the sunset on the field, with everyone around cheering for them, it was like they were acting out some epic romance movie.
Ethan laughed disdainfully, he thought Emilia would not accept Casey, so he didn't care at all. That was, until George told him, Emilia hadn't come home.
At that time , Emilia had rented a house outside of school, which was owned by George for the convenience of painting.
Worried about Emilia's safety, Ethan asked George, who lived next door, to check on her frequently.
It so happened that this time when George came back, he saw that the lights in Emilia's room had not been turned on, so he called Ethan. When Ethan heard that Emilia hadn't come home, he stopped the paintbrush in his hand, and what came to his mind was the picture of Emilia tiptoeing and kissing Casey's cheek. He felt like he was going crazy. Emilia only liked him, why would she kiss Casey?
He reassured himself, it's impossible!
But the more he thought about it, the more irritable he became, he threw away the paintbrush in anger, picked up his coat, and drove to find Emilia. He searched for her the whole night, until he saw her coming out of Casey's house, and his blood felt like it was boiling suddenly. He bolted out of the car, grabbed Emilia's hand, and demanded to know why she came out of Casey's house.
Emilia was a little surprised when she saw him, but she didn't speak, and pushed his hand away. Ethan felt a pang of anxiety for the first time when Emilia pushed his hand away.
Desperate, he grabbed Emilia, who tried to leave, and growled, "What are you hiding?"
Emilia kept her head down, refusing to answer, as if she had suddenly changed her mind and didn't care about him anymore.
Ethan was very angry, pushed her to the car door, grabbed her shoulders tightly, and lowered his head to ask her, "What were you doing at Casey's house last night?"
His anger seemed to blur Emilia's vision, "Ethan, do you care what I did with Casey?"
Ethan, still fuming, didn't want to hear more from her, he just wanted an answer, "Answer me!"
"Ethan, I've been chasing you for so long, you never responded. When Beth came back, you got along so well with her, you even let her hold your hand, didn't mind her kissing your face. The things she did, the things I did, they're the same, even the way I pursued you was the same, but you obviously prefer her. I guess, if you already have someone you like, it would be meaningless for me to pester you."
Beth was his next-door neighbor, the two grew up together, their relationship was closer.
Same as Beth, she also forcefully held his hand and kissed his face when he was unprepared.
But after these two times, Ethan never let Beth get close to him again, but he didn't realize that Emilia saw both instances.
Ethan didn't explain, he just stared at her moving lips, finding her speaking manner very attractive.
Without a word, he lowered his head and kissed her. When he kissed her lips, she finally stopped talking.
