Chapter 458 Play Me My Whole Life Please (1/2)

'Honey? Wait a minute. She called me honey. She called me honey!' Jack repeated in his thought in apparent disbelief.

It was years ago when Emily last called him that. He was extremely touched by the affection the petname brought forth. He couldn't help staring at Emily with love, ”Honey, honey, honey...”

Emily raised her glass for a toast and something flashed in her eyes, ”Now that we're happy, I think we should at least celebrate with him. Let's offer this toast to him.”

Of course, ”him” meant Jacob.

Jack's passion was instantly shut down.

'Jacob! It's Goddamn Jacob again!' Jack cursed inwardly.

Emily noticed the change in his demeanor, like a light had died inside him. She then explained, ”Rest assured. This is the last time I will ever utter his name in your presence. I promise I won't ever force you to do anything that involves him as well.”

”Really?” Jack stared at Emily with wary eyes.

'Emily... You'll really let go of Jacob for me?' Jack thought in disbelief.

Emily knew that Jack, as always, misunderstood her intentions, but she didn't plan to explain anything to him. She just smiled gently while looking straight at him, ”Starting tomorrow, I promise I'll let go of everything in the past.”

”Okay, to Jacob and for our new beginning.” Jack answered quickly for fear that Emily might have a change of heart in the next few moments. If a toast was all it took for Emily to forget about Jacob, he could have done ten.

They stood up, and made their way to the nearby picture of the deceased Jacob. They rasied their glasses and toasted in his name. Before Emily's wine glass touched her lips, Jack reminded her, ”Don't drink too much. It's not good for the baby.”

Emily nodded passively, ”Yeah, got it. Just a sip and nothing more.”

After one or two sips, she added, ”Thank you for taking care of me during this difficult time.”
