Chapter 1 Don’t Make A Mountain Out Of A Mole-hill (2/2)

Hmph, if it were not for Jack, she would have never made friends with a woman like Emily! Now that she had accomplished what she set out to do, making the extra effort seemed quite unnecessary.

”Emmy, don't make a mountain out of a mole-hill, ” said Jack impatiently. ”I've promised that I will only love and marry you. What else do you want?

”Make a mountain out of a mole-hill? By love, do you mean sleeping with other women and lying to me the whole time? Sorry, but I will not stand for that kind of love any longer!”

”Is it not enough that I love only you and you alone?”

”It's not enough. Love needs loyalty. But, you obviously, are not loyal to me!”

Jack burst out laughing because he found her words to be amusing and as naive as a newborn babe. He said to her, ”Emmy, I'm the firstborn and only son of my father; the Master of Gu clan. I will never have only one woman by my side no matter if I'm single or married. Do you understand?

You should learn to accept that before we get married. The sooner, the better.”

”But the place of my wife will only be left for you. Other women will come and go, but your position will never change.”

In his head, Jack imagined that he sounded romantic and charming, while waiting for Emily to be moved by his words, and jump into his arms.

”Thwack!” Emily served him a mercilessly, tight slap across his face.

Jack's face stung as he tilted his head. Clearly visible under the street lamp, her hand had left a red welt on his face. His eyes were filled with shock as he staggered backwards.

How dare she slap him?

Rose was stunned, motionless. She recollected her senses and feigned concern by checking his face, only to be rejected by Jack at once.

”Emily, what's wrong with you?” Jack howled angrily, looking at her with disbelief and fury.

Born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never been hit by anyone since he came to this world.

Thinking of his cruel words and his lack of remorse, Emily also trembled with rage. ”I never realized how deplorable and arrogant you are, until now.”

Share a husband with other women? How could he even dream of this?

Although she was looking right at him, her eyes felt an odd sensation of strangeness, as if she had never really known him at all.

”Jack, I'm breaking up with you. We're done.”

Emily was ready to leave, exhausted and lacking the strength to put up with the drama any longer. She harbored resentment in her heart but soon realized that there was no point in allowing him to extend her misery, because he would turn her world upside down.

”I disagree!” Jack roared. Suddenly, he sensed a fear of loss as if he was going to lose something valuable and irreplaceable to him...

Just as he was about to run after Emily, Rose came from behind and hugged him tightly.

”Jack, don't leave me alone…” Rose skillfully placed her arms around Jack's waist and touched him while persuading him gently, ”Emmy is just too angry to think clearly right now. She didn't mean that. You should give her some time to calm down. You are such a great guy. How could she give up on you?”

Once Jack understood what Rose had said, he eventually calmed down.

The Gu clan, a prestigious clan with centuries of prosperous history, was the main source of the city's political power. They could almost do whatever they wanted in this city. Jack Gu was his father's only son and heir, which showed his incomparable status in society. Apart from that, he was also blessed with striking good looks. How could Emily find another man like him?

It would do her good to take a few days off to cool down and reconsider their relationship. Meanwhile, Jack thought she must came to be aware of the fact that even though he loved her; his patience was not without limitations. If he had been slapped by anyone else other than Emily, he would have broken their hands!
