Chapter 215 Thank You For Your Compliment (1/2)
Emily finally woke up at around 9 p.m.
”Where on earth has happened to Jacob?” Emily murmured to herself, puzzled, as she sat up slowly, rubbing her aching waist gently with her hands.
She remembered that she had made an appointment with Debby. Unfortunately, it was too late to keep that promise. Emily wondered whether Jacob had done that purpose to stop her from seeing Debby.
'How long did mom wait for me today?
Maybe… She didn't wait long before she left. After all, she doesn't care much about me.'
Emily was lost in various fancies and conjectures. All of a sudden, the door was pushed open by someone from the outside.
”You're awake,” Jacob said, his voice as magnetic and gentle as ever, filled with concern. He continued, ”Do you want to get up and eat something first?”
Jacob's words made Emily realize that she was very hungry. She had a hollow, empty feeling in her stomach, in dire need of food. Her stomach even growled because of hunger.
”How dare you ask me this! It's all your fault…” Emily complained, whispering into his ears.
”My fault? What have I done wrong?” asked Jacob in a teasing tone.
”Hmm… I don't care! I said it's your fault, so it's all your fault…” faltered Emily. She was too shy to speak plainly about what had happened between them a few hours ago. Tiny hues of red spread from her cheeks to her neck. Slightly annoyed, she said, ”I made an appointment with my mom, but now it is too late to meet her. If you hadn't thrown me on the bed and… I wouldn't have fallen asleep. Jacob, you were so rough and brash.”
Jacob's mouth curled into a teasing smile, as he said with a wicked glint in his eyes, ”Were I rough and brash? It seems that you still don't know me well enough. I don't mind letting you know that what a brash man, such as myself will do.”
