Eleven Years All to the Wrong Man novel Chapter 282

After a moment of hesitation, she deleted the message she had just typed and wrote a new one:

[Emma: I’m physically okay, just a little tired. Thank you for asking, Mr. Allen!]

After sending it, Emma stared at the screen, her heart inexplicably tightening again. Was that tone… too formal? And it was so late. He was either busy on duty or already asleep. Would replying now bother him?

Emma bit her finger, already regretting her response.

Just as she was about to unsend the message, her phone vibrated.

[Nathan: Okay. You got back so late, did your mom notice anything?]

[Emma: She did! She almost saw the report. I had to pull off a whole spy movie routine to distract her and hide it. It was terrifying!]

Emma’s fingers flew across the screen. Only after she sent the message did she realize her tone might have been a bit too playful.

Fortunately, Nathan replied quickly.

[Nathan: A spy movie? So, you completed an “impossible mission” by deceiving the person who cares about you most?]

Humor…

Reading the line, Emma felt the heat return to her cheeks.

Even through the screen, she could almost picture Nathan typing that, his face expressionless but his eyes holding a faint, playful glint.

She replied:

[Emma: (An emoji of a face laughing through tears) Mr. Allen, please don’t tease me. I’ve hidden the report in my closet now. It should be safe… right?]

After she sent this message, she waited for a while but received no reply.

Assuming Nathan had gotten busy, she was about to close the chat and open a video app when another notification popped up at the top of her screen.
