"I can tell that he likes you. If you also like him, I will be very supportive."
I can also sense Noah's feelings.
"I just want to be with you, Grandma. There is nothing else in my mind."
Grandma smiled and said, "Do you still remember your high school classmate?"
I was stunned.
It surprised me that Grandma still remembered Liam.
"Don't hide it from me. In high school, you used to talk about how amazing he was all the time. Now he has become a big star."
I smiled bitterly. "Yes, he has become a big star."
"He is so excellent, Una. If you like him, have a try and ask if he likes you.
"Show me his picture next time."
Somehow, I hurriedly escaped. "Grandma, I'm going downstairs to see why Noah hasn't come back yet."
I took a few steps out and found that Noah was standing at the door.
"Noah?"
Noah raised the buns in his hand and said, "I bought some buns. Can you take them to Grandma? I won't go in."
He turned around and was about to leave.
I shouted at him, "Noah, did you hear everything?
"Grandma was just joking. Don't take it to heart."
Noah turned his back to me and sighed.
"Una, Grandma meant it.
"Don't worry too much, I'll go calm down by myself."
I watched Noah's figure and called out to him.
"Noah.
"At least for now, I still want to treat you as my brother."
After giving the buns to grandma, I went downstairs to get some fresh air.
Maybe grandma is right. If I start a relationship with Noah, it can put her mind at ease.
Now my life revolves around Grandma, just like she used to run around for me when I was a child.
I pondered over Noah and grandma's words repeatedly, but in the end, I couldn't go against my heart.
I wrote a long message to Noah.
I told him that I only have familial affection for him.
Noah was straightforward, and he replied to me.
[Una, I think what I have for you is also familial affection. Don't overthink it.]
I stared at my phone absentmindedly, not noticing the person next to me.
"Is there anything I can help with?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, I suddenly looked up. My feet slipped, and I was about to fall backwards.
Liam immediately supported me, and I fell steadily in his arms.
I closed my eyes for a second, then quickly stood up and put away my thoughts. "Why are you here?"
