Chapter 465 Keeping Her Under His Spell (1/2)
It finally hit Emily that Jack was comparing the movie's ending with their lives. She rolled her eyes as she spoke sarcastically, ”Wow. I'm so touched. Boo-hoo.” Then her tone changed into an irritated one. ”Jack, stop lying to yourself. Stop those ridiculous delusions you tell yourself!”
”Emily, please forgive me,” Jack pleaded, his head hung low. He felt so guilty about the death of her baby.
If he didn't irritate her, Emily wouldn't have a miscarriage. That very miscarriage caused the baby's premature birth, only to end up dead. Unfortunately, Emily knew nothing about it. The baby brought into her arms actually belonged to another woman. In her perspective, her son was alive and healthy.
It didn't matter what kind of amends Jack was willing to do. He could never make it up to Emily or bring her son back to life.
He decided that it would be a secret he would take to his grave. With it, he also had decided to spend his entire life making it up to her.
Jack tried to find comfort in his thoughts. 'Emily, you may have lost a baby because of me but I also have given you one. Don't worry. We will have lots of children of our own in the future...'
Emily felt pity as she looked at how guilty and regretful Jack was. She felt something was missing but she couldn't pinpoint what it was.
'How strange.
Why do I feel like I am missing something?
How did Jack turn so gentle despite having a short fuse before? Is it because of the premature baby?' Emily thought inside her mind.
She could only sigh in confusion, trying to shrug off the nagging feeling in her gut.
Suddenly, she was back to earth when she heard the baby cry in her arms. She wasted no time in order to soothe the baby.
The baby wasn't easy to be comforted, unlike Beryl during her babyhood. Emily thought that it could because he was premature and lacked sense of security. There were times she couldn't stop his crying and had to ask for help from the nurses.
”Shh, shh, my baby, stop crying.” she cooed, ”Mommy is here.”
