Chapter 553 I Promise You (2/2)

of her. Slowly, she stretched out her arms on her side gracefully despite her frail body. She looked like she was going to fly away like a butterfly.

Sean's eyes widened in fear as he knew what Emily was about to do. Without thinking about it, he called out, ”I promise you! I promise you anything you want!

As long as you come down here and don't jump, I promise that I will not push you anymore. Just, come down here please!”

Emily opened her eyes and scoffed. In a cold voice and a hint of irony, she said, ”I don't believe you.”

Sean stared closely at her with wide eyes afraid that if he blinked, she would be gone right in front of his eyes. He trembled and could not help but feel nervous, ”What should I do to make you believe? Should I write down a legal contract? Tell me, please!”

”It's simple. Let go of me,” she said without any hint of emotion in her eyes and tone.

Sean shook his head slowly. ”That's impossible.”

He would never promise her that as it was his last resort. ”But I can promise you that no matter what I do, I will always ask for your permission first and never force you to do anything against your will from now on. Do you hear me?”

For a short while, they just stayed in impasse like this.

In that moment of time, Emily could feel her energy draining away as her legs began to shake and tremble. She knew that she was going to fall any time now.

Sean trembled as well. Watching her like this made him really anxious and scared.

He wanted so much to drag her back here, but he controlled himself and never dared to act rashly especially when Emily was just one small jump away from death's door.

That was why, Sean decided to coax her away from the edge first, but before he could speak, a subordinate came to talk to him and whispered something in his ear. Emily wondered what could that be.

She noticed how Sean's expression turned complicated. As for him, he had expected that something like this would happen. He looked at Emily and thought about it for a second before he spoke in a gentle tone.

”Emily, come down please. Jacob is here for you.”
