After delivering coffee to Ethan daily, I just wanted to retreat, but was stopped by him.
I quickly went over it in my mind.
Repeatedly confirmed several times there was nothing needed to discuss one-on-one with me, only then dared to generate a few points of expectation.
Not official business, then what could it be?
Ethan looked up at me,
"Did Caleb trouble you again today?"
Turns out he wanted to ask about his brother's recent situation.
I suppressed the disappointment in my heart, reporting dutifully:
"No, he just asked me some questions."
Unexpectedly Ethan sneered:
"Joined three months still have endless questions, then his Imperial College London degree is wasted."
Caleb certainly isn't that stupid.
On the contrary, he is very smart, sweet and caring.
Asking me questions, picking times when I was not in good condition.
Answering some simple questions, not counted as slacking off at work, could also rescue me from heavy work, letting me take a breath.
Not to mention, his constant feeding made my condition much better during this time.
But anyone could see, he was pursuing me like this.
My eyes flickered, didn't want to talk about this issue with Ethan.
Being liked by the brother of secret crush object, actually not counted as happy.
But Ethan obviously didn't think so, tone deep and slow:
"He was born with a lack of emotion and pain sensation, so he likes to pursue stimulation. When abroad, he liked playing extreme sports, drag racing, skydiving, entered ICU several times. Parents and I as brother are very worried about him."
