Chapter 477 It Is Not Emilys Fault (1/2)

Jack drove back to his villa as fast as he could. When he got there, he didn't have the time to park his car in the garage. He just left it there by the door and ran to the manor where Emily was staying.

The noise Jack made disturbed the sleeping butler and maids. They were curious as to where the noise was coming from, so they went out to check. They were surprised to see Jack and they asked, ”What's the matter, Mr. Jack?”

But Jack's cold and strong presence made them tremble with fear. Jack asked indifferently, ”Where's she?”

The maid, despite her fear, answered politely, ”Her Ladyship is sleeping in her room.”

Jack checked his watch and saw that it was only two in the morning. He asked, ”Are you sure?”

The maid nodded and answered firmly, ”Yes, Mr. Jack. I went to her room earlier tonight when I saw the light was still on. Her Ladyship said she wanted some water and the lights was soon turned off after that. She must be sleeping now.”

But Jack was not satisfied with the maid's answer. He decided to check by himself and went upstairs quietly. When he arrived at Emily's door, he knocked.

”Who is it?” Emily answered.

Upon hearing Emily's voice, Jack was relieved. ”It's just me, Emily. I'm home now.”

The maid saw the sudden change in Jack's facial expression. Earlier, his face was fuming with anger. But now, it was as if nothing happened with his face as calm as the sea. In the maid's mind, she thought, 'Mrs. Gu is really an incredible person. Only she can turn the beastly Mr. Jack into a gentle and sweet creature.'

After hearing no response from Emily, Jack asked again, ”Emily? Can you hear me?”

He leaned his ear harder on the door to hear Emily better. He heard a faint sound, ”I'm exhausted. I will sleep now.”

”All right, then. Have a good rest,” Jack replied. Though he wasn't satisfied with Emily's answer, it somehow removed his doubt. He was about to leave to let Emily rest when he felt something strange.

He turned around and something suddenly occurred to him. Jack frowned and leaned against the door again. He tried to open it, but it was locked from the inside. He got nervous and said, ”Emily, can I come in? I just want to see you.”

”I'm exhausted. I will sleep now.”
