Chapter 873 Generous Dowry
However, since they were already talking about it, she had nothing more to hide.
As a result, she nodded.
Then, she said in a low voice, "He still doesn't know I have feelings for him. I haven't told him yet."
After a pause, she looked at Emmeline expectantly and asked softly, "Emmeline, as a girl, what do you think I can do to win a boy's heart?"
In fact, Yunne really did not know. She had never been in love before, and it was her first time to take a fancy on a boy. She couldn't stop thinking about him.
She couldn't wait to see him every day, but she was afraid that if she saw him too frequently, she would make him feel annoyed.
Therefore, she would always come up with an excuse to create an opportunity to see him.
But the more she behaved like this, the more uneasy she felt as if her affection to him was a one-way street.
Instead, he had no idea at all. He had no idea that she liked him, let alone be with her.
But she dared not to pluck up the courage to make a confession.
At the moment, Yunne's feelings was very contradictory.
However, she had stayed in this place for a very long time, and there weren't many people she could trust.
Among the maids, they were forming groups of their own. On the surface, everyone seemed to be on good terms with each other and got along quite well.
But she knew in her heart that this kind of friendship was not stable, and it was even very fragile.
If she told one of them her secret, all the maids in the castle would know that she had a crush on one of Jara's personal guards.
Not to mention what Rudy would think when the time came, even if it was herself, she would have no face to see others.
Therefore, whilst having a crush on him for such a long time, she forced herself to suppress her own mood and did not mention this to anyone.
Looking at her expression, Emmeline knew exactly what she was thinking.
After a moment of hesitation, she comforted Yunne in a soft voice, "Actually, in my opinion, if two people really love each other, they don't have to deliberately win each other's heart."
"Because true love is no matter what you do, he will be happy for you. Your joy, anger, and laughter would be the most precious things in his eyes."
"Of course, the two of you are in a different circumstance now. Perhaps he still doesn't know what you are thinking, or maybe he is just like you and has a good impression of you, but was too shy to say it."
"The worst-case scenario is that he only sees you as a friend from the same hometown or a little sister, and he hasn't had that sort of feeling for you yet."
"But no matter which one it is, remember, while you can put in the effort to make him happy, you have to make sure you are happy too and at the same time, be careful."
"Once you realize something is off, you have to get out of it immediately. Don't drag things out and let him take advantage of you. That way you'd be in an unfavorable situation."
Upon listening to her words, Yunne looked at her and nodded her head as if she didn't fully understand the meaning.
After a while, she said, "Emmeline, I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I know what to do."
Hearing that, Emmeline smiled and patted her on the shoulder. "Yunne, you are twenty years old already, right?"
Yunne nodded. "Mmm, yes."
"Be brave to fall in love. If everything goes well, I'll give you a generous dowry."
As soon as the topic was brought up, Yunne blushed in an instant.
Pushing Emmeline angrily, she said, "Emmeline, what nonsense are you talking about!"
With that Emmeline laughed out loud.
After teasing Yunne, Emmeline was in a good mood. When she returned to her room, she decided to read her book for a while and didn't go to bed until it was really late.
The next day, she secretly asked Uncle Poick to investigate Rudy's background.
The investigation results came back really quickly. Rudy had a clean background and he was a good person. Not only that, he had a good reputation among the bodyguard team.
Previously, when the bodyguard leader was injured, they had to select a new team leader.
Rudy was recommended by many people. Unfortunately, Ii it wasn't because he was too inexperienced and too young to be qualified, he should be Quan's direct subordinate now.
In any case, no matter how she looked at it, Rudy seemed to be a trustworthy person.
Emmeline was relieved to see this.
In the evening, after dinner, she lay on a summer chair on the balcony.
As it was still August, it was still summer time, which was the hottest season of the year.
Staying at home during the day was fine, but she felt a little stuffy at night. Since she was too lazy to go out for a walk, she simply moved the chair to the balcony so
Lying on the bed, she felt a mild headache.
She felt so dizzy that she wanted to vomit.
Immediately, she called for Yunne.
As soon as Yunne came in and saw her face, she said worriedly, "It's so hot these two days. Is it a heatstroke?"
Slightly surprised, Emmeline knitted her brows. "It can't be. I didn't go out during the day and I have been staying in the room all the time, with the air conditioner on."
Seeing that, Yunne replied in concern, "Do you want me to call the doctor?"
There were resident doctors in the castle anyway.
But Emmeline hesitated and shook her head in the end.
"Forget it, there's no need for that."
A lot had happened lately, and it was not her first time experiencing the headaches anyway. When the doctor checked her leg injury last time, she did consult the doctor, and after the examination, it turned out that there was nothing wrong with her.
Anyhow, she assumed it was the hot weather recently and that her discomfort was a result of her staying at home all day.
Therefore, she didn't want to make a fuss about it. Jara was still injured. If he knew that she had called the doctor over, he might think that something was wrong with her.
Then, he would've come over to check on her and would be worried about her again.
Emmeline didn't want others to worry about her. It wasn't a big deal anyway, so she just didn't want to make a fuss out of it.
However, looking at Emmeline's current state, Yunne was really worried.
After thinking for a while, she suggested. "How about I give you another massage with the essential oil? To see if you'll feel better afterward."
When she said this, Emmeline suddenly remembered that after the massage last time, she felt completely relaxed, so she nodded in an instant.
"Okay, let's do that."
With a nod, she quickly turned around and went to get things ready.
Soon, she came back with her equipment. Emmeline didn't move. Yunne reclined the chair flat and began to massage her on the balcony.
Undeniably, Yunne's skill really won Emmeline's heart.
It was as if her pair of small hands was enchanted by the gods because her skills were remarkable.
As she massaged on Emmeline's scalp, her force and speed were just right, so much so that it made Emmeline feel drowsy.
Meanwhile, Emmeline couldn't help but laugh and said jokingly, "I'm doomed. If I can't live without your massage in the future, what shall I do?"
Hearing that, Yunne smiled and replied, "Then I shall follow you forever as long as you don't find me annoying."
