Chapter 1189 Show His Affection for Her
Walking outside, Alana suddenly realized that Jamarion called her ‘Nana’ again.
She couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Jamarion, who was walking beside her. If her memories served her right, he once called her by the pet name, and she corrected him.
After that, he obediently called her ‘Alana’. Considering the fact that he was a smart person with a high EQ, she did not think that he had forgotten it or made a mistake on purpose.
“What’s wrong?” As she was sizing him up and down, Jamarion beside her paused and asked her in a low voice.
As he was much taller than her, he bent in a gentlemanly manner while talking to her.
He looked unapproachable in the usual, but he immediately put on a smile when looking at her. The change in his facial expression made Alana feel she was unique to him.
“Nothing.” She smiled faintly, withdrew her eyes, and continued walking forward.
She thought, ‘Maybe he’s just trying to get closer to me by addressing me intimately.’
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and stopped worrying.
They came to the parking lot and put the suitcase in the trunk before they got into the car. Then Alana started to drive him to the residence.
Nina and Cameron bought a villa for Jamarion, which was right next door to Alana’s.
Nina did this to make it easier for her son to get close to Alana, but she explained to Julian and others that she did it to make it easier for them to take care of each other.
Julian was so mad.
Julian had believed that Jamarion had no affection for his daughter. But he realized he was wrong when he knew Jamarion was going to attend his daughter’s school.
Only then did he learn that Nina and Cameron had bought Jamarion a villa next door to Alana’s!
Now Julian was surer of Jamarion’s intention, and he was even surer of Nina’s and Cameron’s. They tried to set Jamarion up with Alana!
Julian was so angry that he complained to Emelia, but Emelia calmly said, “Whatever we do doesn’t matter. It’s all up to Alana.”
“If Alana doesn’t love Jamarion, their support will make no difference. And if she does, do you want to break them up?”
Julian said grumpily without hesitation, “Why not?”
Emelia glared at him and didn’t say anything.
If he really broke them up, what was the difference between him and his mother, who insisted on breaking up them before?
Emelia believed that Julian would not inflict the pain he had experienced on his daughter and that he was just reluctant to admit it for the time being.
As she expected, he soon fell silent. Just now, it occurred to him that his mother once broke up Emelia and him. For him, it was not a pleasant memory.
He knew that Emelia’s words made sense and that his way of thinking had been wrong. Perhaps what he needed to do was to accept it slowly.
Alana parked the car in front of Jamarion’s villa and got out of it. Looking at Jamarion carrying his luggage, she offered help as an elder sister, “Do you need me to unpack your luggage and sorted it out?”
Jamarion shook his head, “No. I didn’t have much; there is no need to sort it out.”
His luggage only included a computer, some clothes, and necessities. He planned to buy other things when he arrived here so that he could ask Alana to go shopping with him.
With that on his mind, he said, “I’ll treat you to dinner tonight. Thank you for picking me up today. I’d like to ask if you could do me another favor.”
Alana smiled in resignation and said, “Save those polite words, okay? I’m obliged to take care of you.”
Apart from Benedict, she and Alaric were the eldest among their peers. Now that Jamarion and she were in a foreign country, she should take good care of him.
Jamarion pursed his lips. He knew she just took him as a younger brother and her attitude toward him would remain the same for the time being, so he didn’t say anything about it.
After they waved goodbye, he entered the villa to sort things out, while Alana went back to her apartment next door.
Alana told Nina that she had picked up Jamarion and sent him home, and then made a video call to her parents to have a brief chat.
Her father, Julian, said seriously on the phone, “You should better keep your distance from Jamarion and draw a clear line between you two.”
Alana was confused and said helplessly, “Dad, why? Jamarion studies abroad with no friends or family around him. How can I leave him alone?”
Alana didn’t understand why Julian asked her to stay away from Jamarion. Her parents were on good terms with Nina, and thus he should have told her to take good care of Jamarion.
“Do what I ask.” Julian couldn’t explain the reason to his daughter.
Emelia added, “Your father wants to say there should be boundaries between you two as you are grown-ups now. Although you regard him as your brother, he is not your real brother.”
Julian was speechless.
He was afraid that his daughter would overthink it, so he didn’t say it explicitly.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
However, Emelia told it bluntly to make Alana realize something. Julian was pissed off.
Alana laughed over the phone, “Mom, you and dad think too much. Jamarion is just a younger brother in my eyes.”
Julian sighed with relief.
The family of three chitchatted for some time and hung up.
At dinner time, Jamarion rang Alana’s doorbell and invited Alana out for dinner. Alana intended to drive but was stopped by Jamarion.
Alana was puzzled, and then he smiled faintly, “Let’s have a drink, just to celebrate my arrival.”
Jamarion suggested it because he thought maybe they could get closer if they had a drink together.
But Alana rolled her eyes and said, “Jamarion, you just became an adult, then you can’t wait to have a drink?”
Jamarion looked composed, “As you said, I’m an adult, and it’s okay for me to drink some alcohol, right?”
“No.” Alana firmly refused, and then pulled him into her car.
In Alana’s eyes, Jamarion and the others were still children, so drinking was a no-no.
Jamarion, who was under strict control, sat in the car helplessly. It seemed he had to prepare some wine at home in case he needed to embolden himself with alcohol before confessing his love someday.
