Chapter 48 Her Softened Heart (1/2)

”No.”

Emily calmly said, ”You don't have to make these romantic gestures anymore. Whatever your purpose is, it's of no use to me.”

”Why won't you believe me?”

Jack persisted. With eyes as deep as the sea, he gazed into her eyes. ”Is this about Rose?

I've already separated from her.”

”Separated? If I say I hate her, and I want you to make her experience every bit of misery I've ever experienced, will you do that for me?”

”Emily, how could you be so cruel?”

Jack couldn't believe what he was hearing.

”Answer my question.”

Jack remembered the state Rose was in when she left reluctantly, and his heart softened with pity. ”Emily, Rose only did those things to you to make me happy. It wasn't personal. She is innocent. If you want to dish out your anger, you can come to me, okay?

”Hahaha...”

Emily sneered, unable to tell whether she was more disappointed or more bitter. ”You're protecting her?

Everything that had happened to me was your doing?

So it was you who ordered those ruffians to rape me?”

Her accusations made Jack frown in an instant. He lowered his voice and asked, ”Do you think I was behind that? If that's true then why did I save you?”

”Who knows.”

At that moment, the romantic atmosphere that was purposefully created by Jack had been completely destroyed by their dispute, and it was spiralling downwards from there.

Jack tried his best to restrain his anger. ”Emily, if you don't want to be with me, you can just say so. You don't have to make excuses.”

”Do you think I need an excuse to not be with you?”

Emily dropped a bomb on him, shoved his hands away, and turned around to the roadside to hail a taxi.

Jack watched with his eyes wide open, as she got in the taxi, and then he started his own car to follow her.
