Unexpected Love

Chapter 21 (Is It Possible Again?)

Andrew: What?
Emma turned to him angrily. She spoke in a low voice, so he didn't hear her well.
Andrew: What did you say?
Emma: I didn't say anything! I said let's go quickly so we don't have to stay with each other too long.
Emma said with a provocative smile. Andrew looked at her with dull eyes, then turned to focus on the way.
At the hotel, Ayşe and Kerem were sitting in the hotel cafe.
Kerem: What was that tension between Emma and those men? He also asked her to stay. And that man, Andrew, they were looking at each other in a strange way! Who are they?
Ayşe got nervous and tried to evade the question.
Ayşe: I told you many times on the way. They're cousins, and there were some problems between their families in the past.

Kerem: Might they be provoking her because of these problems? I mean something like persecution!
Ayşe: Of course not, Kerem. They love her so much! They know that she has no guilt in these problems. Anyway, let's order something to eat. I'm hungry.
Ayşe and Kerem ordered their food, and while they were eating, they saw Emma and Andrew entering the hotel.
Ayşe: Emma! Over here!
Emma saw her and went to them. Andrew followed her.
Emma: Are you still sitting here?
Kerem: Yes, why did you get here so late? I was so worried.
Andrew: She was with her family! Why were you worried?

Ayşe: He didn't know! He meant that we came together, so we should take care of each other.
Andrew: Hmm, got it!
Ayşe: Sit down, then!
Andrew: No, we came to take Emma's things and leave.
Kerem: Where to?
Andrew got angry from Kerem's constant questions, so Emma tried to control the situation.
Emma: Hmm, Kerem, my aunt told me to stay there, so I didn't want to disobey her.
Kerem was about to say something when Andrew interrupted him.
Andrew: I think you should go and get your things. They're waiting for us at home.
Emma nodded and left. Andrew turned his gaze to Kerem, trying to stay formal. He didn't want to argue with a newcomer.

Emma returned with her bags and met them in the hotel cafe. Andrew took the bags from her.
Ayşe: We'll meet at the company, Emma!
Emma: Okay!
Kerem: Take care, I'll miss you!
Kerem hugged Emma, and Andrew watched them with a wry expression until they parted. Emma and Andrew left the hotel and got back in the car.
Andrew: I wish you had told him that we aren't kidnapping you! You're meeting him in two days anyway, what's with all this nonsense of taking care and hugging? What's happening!?
Andrew spoke angrily while starting the car. Emma watched him in amusement as he vented his frustration. When he finished, he looked at her and saw her laughing.

Emma: I wonder if you're a little jealous?
Andrew was confused.
Andrew: Jealous? I'm just bothered by the way he acts with you, as if you're going to live in the forest or join the mafia!
Emma: You're exaggerating so much! It's a normal thing between us. We should take care of each other and be concerned about each other, and that's what Kerem does.
Andrew didn't reply and drove the car. They arrived home, where Madlen hugged Emma tightly. Sia told them to sit down.
Madlen: I missed so much!
Emma: Me too!
Mark: It's been a long time since we all gathered like that, guys!
Noah: Yeah, thank God!
Emma looked at everyone and felt happy and comfortable. After sitting for a while, everyone went to their rooms. Emma's room was the same, with everything in it unchanged. After unpacking her bag, she found a picture of her and Andrew and another one of her parents. Emma looked at them for a moment and then decided to put them in the drawer. Emma went to sleep and finally felt at home and comfortable.

The next morning, Emma woke up to the sound of the maid knocking on her door for breakfast. She quickly took a shower and went downstairs.
Emma: Good morning!
Everyone: Good morning!
During breakfast, Emma and Andrew stole glances at each other but didn't talk.
Andrew: I have to leave now. Are you coming, Dad?
Noah: Yeah, wait for me in the car with the driver until I grab my jacket.
Emma looked at Andrew with a questioning look, but he quickly left. Noah also grabbed his jacket and left. Emma decided to ask Sia and Olivia.
Emma: Why doesn't he drive the car? He never let anyone drive him or use his car before.
Olivia and Sia looked at each other, confused, but Olivia spoke up.
