Chapter 328 Chewing Gums Chewed by Others (2/2)

Emily looked at him with hatred in her eyes. Her hands formed fists in her pockets. They were closed so tightly that her nails were digging into her palms.

For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. All they could see in each other's eyes were themselves.

Jacob bathed in the silence but he couldn't keep it in any longer and called her out. ”Emily.”

Emily's lips quivered slightly. But instead of talking to Jacob, she turned to Jack. ”Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with me?”

Jack was taken aback but he reacted quickly. ”Yes, what would you like for dinner? I'll book a table for us.” He

y relationship they could have was a business relationship.

When she saw his eyes widen in shock, it became clear to her that he never thought of their bond that way. ”Emily,” he began, ”I know I was wrong before. I'm really sorry for what I've done to you. I've realized what a big mistake it was. If you could just give me a second chance...”

He let his words hang, not knowing what else to say. He was planning to have a fresh start with her, and it made him happy that he was given a chance when she lost her memory. But never in his wildest dreams did he think that she didn't lose her memory at all.

”I'm Cloris, and from now on, I will live my life as her. Emily's been dead for a long time,” she said, explaining her desire to leave her past behind.

Jack shook his head. ”I don't care if you're Cloris or Emily. I like you all the same.”

She raised her hand to stop him before he could continue. ”But I don't like you, Jack. And I don't want to waste your time.

Jack felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His heart hurt, and he was unwilling to give her up. ”Love can be fostered, Cloris. You don't have to say it now. I can wait until the day that you're ready to tell me you love me,” he told her.

”Do you know what it tastes like, the chewing gum already chewed by others?” she asked.
