Chapter 324 To My Dearest Princess (2/2)

But Jack had an inkling that this just wasn't the whole story. It can't be this easy. Sooner or later, Jacob was bound to find out everything. In fact, he was most probably be doing something right now to find out the truth.

Jack was changing a lot too - he was no longer the old Jack who had no power. He'd grown enough that he was able to face Jacob head on. Jacob was no longer a threat to him but he was still worried that Emily might still have feelings for Jacob and that would be his biggest problem.

There were so many tangles and obstacles from their past. Jack also knew that he himself was also the reason why Emily left in the first place. And if things started to unravel, Emily might decide to return to Jacob which was the last thing Jack ever wanted to see.
