Chapter 897 Do You Need to Explain Yourself to Me?

Listening to her say thank you, Caden Willow’s expression paused, and in the next moment, he smiled again.

For some reason, even though she had been the girl he liked since childhood, at this moment… watching her lean by the side of this man who was strong enough, capable enough to protect her, he suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart.

She was good enough, and only such a man could truly match her.

Now thinking about it, it seems he had never truly entered her life, and seeing her happy now, he should feel happy for her.

With this thought, the sense of loss gradually faded away.

“By the way, Noah Drexler, this is my childhood friend, Caden Willow.” Summer Shawcross raised her head, looked at Noah Drexler, and then introduced him.

When she finished speaking, the hand the man placed on her waist obviously tightened.

Noah Drexler lowered his gaze, his sharp eyes swept over the young man in front of him, staring at him for a few seconds.

“The rain is getting heavier, boss, let’s head back.” At this moment, Sean Morgan also got out of the car with an umbrella and hurriedly said to Noah Drexler.

Upon hearing this, Noah Drexler pursed his thin lips, holding an umbrella in one hand, wrapping his other arm around Summer Shawcross’s waist, turned with her to leave, heading to the car. After helping her into the car, he turned to get into the car from the other side.

Katherine Irving happily squeezed under Sean Morgan’s umbrella, took a seat in the front passenger seat, while Sean Morgan sat in the driver’s seat.

The car slowly started moving, Summer Shawcross rolled down the window, reluctantly gazing at the old house in front of her, her face full of regret.

It seems this house, where she grew up, is not meant to be her destiny…

…

The heavy rain continued.

In front of the window on the second floor, the man sat in a wheelchair, quietly watching the car leave in the heavy rain, his thin, gentle face showing a complex and pained expression.

…

On the way back.

Inside the car.

The man furrowed his brows, stared at her for a moment, then suddenly pursed his thin lips and asked her.

“Summer Shawcross, don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”

Upon hearing this, Summer Shawcross was taken aback, not immediately grasping his meaning.

“What?”

“A childhood friend, why were they standing with you at The Shawcross Family’s doorstep?” He frowned, his handsome face clearly displaying his displeasure.

As soon as he finished speaking, Summer Shawcross understood what he was getting at, and her face immediately showed a helpless expression.

Could he be jealous over what happened just now?

Just because she was standing under the eaves with Caden Willow to avoid the rain, and Katherine Irving was between them.

Although feeling quite helpless inside, she looked up at Noah Drexler’s displeased face and patiently began to explain.

“He’s Aunt Zhu’s child. This time, Aunt Zhu told me that someone was living in The Shawcross Family’s old house, so I came to see. But no one answered when I rang the doorbell, so I went to Aunt Zhu’s for lunch. Caden Willow kindly offered to help me check, so he went with us.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Noah Drexler’s expression became even worse.

“You had lunch together too?” He furrowed his brows tightly, his handsome face full of dissatisfaction, staring at her intently!
