Chapter 876 Memories Echoing (Six)

• Emily gazed at Chadwick Fullner and suddenly smiled, saying, "Chad, don't you feel like you're acting like a protective boyfriend, worried that your friends might misunderstand your girlfriend?"
• "I..." Chadwick Fullner was momentarily speechless, but quickly responded, "You've got it wrong. There's nothing between us, we're just good friends. She's really nice... I was just concerned that her thoughtless words might have made you uncomfortable." He added somewhat awkwardly, "I was quite upset when she asked that question. I put myself in your shoes and felt the need to clarify things."
• Emily fell silent for a moment, her expression serious this time. She calmly stated, "Chad, we've known each other for years and have been through a lot together. I understand you quite well. You have a tendency to be chauvinistic, with a strong sense of pride that you constantly uphold. We both come from humble backgrounds, striving to maintain our pride. However, this sometimes clouds our true feelings."
