Chapter 459 Close to Happiness (1/2)

At that moment, Jack suddenly opened his eyes and raised his hand as he grasped the blade accurately. If he was a second late, Emily would've stabbed him successfully. Even so, the dagger landed on his chest, leaving a shallow wound.

”You…” gasped Emily. Everything happened so fast that she didn't know what to do. One minute Jack was asleep, but now she was staring at him with wide eyes, frozen in shock.

Immediately, he turned over and pressed her firmly beneath him, holding her wrists against her head with one hand. Despite everything, he remained careful not to press her belly.

Suddenly, a clattering sound was heard. The blood-stained knife was thrown on the floor by Jack.

”I am not drunk!” he said, raising his voice. With eyes full of sadness, ”Emily, do you want to kill me?” he asked. Staring at her, his heart gradually sank while waiting for her reply.

Jack might have drunk a lot of wine, but he was not really wasted. He was just so happy that he was caught off guard, and he was almost killed by his own lover.

All the while, he pretended to be drunk to get closer to her, to hold her. But in the end, all he got was a cold dagger and a woman who wanted to kill him.

Gradually, Jack's white shirt stained bright red. It wasn't clear whether the blood came from his hands or the wound on his chest. Suddenly, ”I said, do you want to kill me?” he said in a sad and angry tone. But in the back of his mind, 'I would believe her if she says no. Just please, please say no, ' he thought.

Blinded by his love, he slowly lost his rationality.

In fact, he could even find an excuse for her. If she denied, he could forget her attempt of killing him and act like nothing had happened.

But again, he was disappointed.

”Yes,” Emily calmly replied, lying in bed and looking straight into his eyes. ”I want to kill you,” she paused and continued, ”I wanted to kill you, but I failed.” Her words resonated in his mind.
