Chapter 112 Do Not Objectify Emily (2/2)
Emily, however, did not notice Jack when she came in. From time to time she would peek at Jacob, with a look of dependence on her face, which made Jack even more angry!
Who the hell was Jacob! Jack wanted to make Emily regret choosing Jacob over him!
After everyone settled in, the meeting finally commenced.
Emily sat next to Jacob. She knew that her duty was to write down the key contents of the meeting. Soon, however, she was overwhelmed by the new and unfamiliar terms that came at her one after another. Clueless, she felt like
has her own thoughts and her own independent personality. I will never try to control or disrespect her.
Why don't you try asking her. Ask her if she wants to be with you or me? If her choice is the former, I will have nothing to say.”
Caught in between, Emily found her thoughts running around in her mind, not knowing what to do.
Jacob said that she was not an object. She was her own person, and he would give her absolute respect...
Emily felt like she was on a roller coaster ride. Her feelings were scattered all over, but there was a hint of joy somewhere in her heart.
This man, seemed different than he used to be. He did not directly refute Jack's statement. Instead, he left it for her to decide. This meant that his thoughts about her were also changing. Finally, he was starting to take her feelings into consideration...
”Why do you like to cry so much?” Jacob teased, as he gently brushed his hands over her hair, and the love in his eyes was almost overflowing. He continued,”Are you still a child?”
”No...” Emily squinted her eyes and forced her tears back. 'Thank you, ' she said to him, in her heart.
'Thank you for everything that you've given me. Freedom, respect, safety...' Emily had suffered enough in life to know when to cherish the kindness of others.
”So, do you choose me or him? Well?”
The answer was very obvious. Emily would never choose Jack even if he were the last man on earth.
Jack's face darkened as he said,”Oh Jacob, good talk! If you don't regard her as your toy, then why don't you just marry her?”
