Chapter 1868

"Last night..." Debra started.

Andrew bent down to slip her shoes onto her bare feet. "Told you a million times. No running around barefoot."

"It's fine. The floor's warm." She shrugged.

The Potter Mansion hadn't had underfloor heating until Andrew installed it because she kept going barefoot. It was meant to keep her from catching colds, but now she skipped shoes even more.

"Were you with me last night?" she asked, swinging his arm happily. "I knew you'd never leave me hanging."

"I was busy with an international meeting last night," he said, tapping her

forehead. "Don't pull that stunt again."

"Ow." Debra rubbed her head. "But I felt you right there."

He stayed quiet, and she stepped back, keeping some distance.

Erica had said they were too close. That closeness made it hard to tell if her feelings for Andrew were familial or romantic. Andrew was just perfect in everyone's eyes.

She studied him again. He was tall and upright, radiating a quiet strength that made her feel safe.

"What's up?" he asked softly.

She shook her head. "Erica said we're too close. I tried looking at you from farther away, but you're still just you. Nothing's different."

His lips tightened, but he said nothing.

She asked, "Have you ever had a crush on a girl? Erica said when you like someone, your heart races and your eyes follow them. You wanna see them all the time and be with them forever. People say tons of women out there want to marry you."

She waited nervously for his reaction.

Erica always shared circle gossip. Jordan dismissed it as nonsense, but she ate it up.

Debra remembered a girl who swore she'd marry Andrew after meeting him. She chased him for 99 days, only to leave with a broken heart. She never returned to Seamar City.

Rumors had it that Andrew scared her off, but no one knew how. Content originally comes from Find1Novel.net

There were other stories, like tycoons offering huge deals to marry into the Potters

or girls chasing Andrew to his office just for a glance.

He was always polite and gentlemanly, but he kept his distance.

Eventually, no one dared approach him. They went for Jordan instead.
