Chapter 263 His Beloved Woman (2/2)
Why should Emily be disappointed with him? She was the one who betrayed him after all! Did she really think she could undo what had been done if they just broke up? How dare she?
Emily had just fallen asleep when she felt something heavy pressing on her and was running out breath. She opened her eyes and found some drunken man kissing her.
Things like this happened every night. No matter how indifferent they were to each other during the day, but at night, the man was like a fierce beast, pestering her with strong pass
er words in one breath. She lowered her eyes, trying to hide her pain, and waited silently for Jacob's reply.
Even if Jacob was willing to accept her, she couldn't forgive herself. She had been passive and humble in this relationship. She couldn't imagine that after such thing happened, she would continue to stay together with Jacob as if nothing had happened.
She was undeserving of his love.
At this moment, he realized that she was determined to break up with him. No other questions asked.
”I won't break up with you.”
”So, are you going to keep punishing me?”
Her words deeply stung Jacob's heart. He replied, ”No.”
Emily couldn't believe what he said. The corners of her lips rose up, but she didn't say anything. She just turned her head and buried her face in the pillow.
The atmosphere was so thick that one can cut it with a spoon.
There was silence between them until Jacob slowly lied down beside Emily. He stretched out his arm and hugged Emily gently from behind, with his chin against her neck, whispering, ”Emily, it's my fault. I am so sorry. I love you so much, you know.”
Emily's body stiffened at his touch. It was clear that she wasn't asleep yet.
Neither of them had a good sleep these days after all.
Even thought there was no response from her, Jacob took a deep breath. He sniffed her fragrance as he cuddled her. He continued, ”Let's forget about this and start all over again, alright? We'll start over as if nothing happened.”
