Chapter 566 Sweet Words Are Poisonous (2/2)

She had grown accustomed to being wronged by Jacob.

Jacob didn't get the sense of satisfaction he was expecting. Instead, there was great discomfort in his heart. He stood up and walked away without a word, tearing himself away from Emily as soon as he could.

Emily watched Jacob walk away and she could hardly think of a time when she felt this helpless.

Everything she did was to get close to Jacob only so she could repair their relationship.

She would h

ion firmly.

Jacob still refused to give her an answer. ”Emily, I want to make one thing very clear to you. As long as you are my woman, no one, will be allowed to hurt you or harm you in any way. Except me. You belong to me, mind, body and soul. Even you, yourself no longer have the right to bring harm upon yourself. Do you understand?”

After making his point, Jacob then turned around to leave.

Emily wasn't irritated by his arrogance because she knew that Jacob wanted what was best for her, and his bark was worse than his bite. She stopped Jacob and gently said, ”As you wish. Well, why don't you have dinner first before going to bed?”

Jacob paused and turned around to Emily. ”I said, no!” He stormed out of the room.

Did she just ignore everything he had said? Did she just cast aside his words as if they were rubbish? Emily really hit a nerve this time! Anger boiled deep inside Jacob, churning within like hot lava and hungry for destruction.

Emily, however, understood that he was only angry because he cared for her from the bottom of his heart. With a satisfied smile on her face, Emily stared at Jacob's back, feeling warm.

Jacob went to the study and opened the windows to get some air. A minute ago he felt like he was being swallowed by his darkness, but the cold breeze felt like it was flowing through his veins, calming him from head to toe. Having the anger dissipate in him felt nice, and he decided to take a shower before calling it a night.

As he stepped into the bathroom, a faint, unfamiliar fragrance invaded his senses.

The unfamiliar fragrance made him feel relaxed, but it also aroused his vigilance. Where was that smell coming from? He was certain that it couldn't be his perfume or his shower gel, or else he would have known.

The fragrance emitted a refreshing scent, making him feel as though he was standing in the sunlight and enjoying the beauty of nature with a gentle breeze caressing his face.

The sound of water flowing from the faucet brought him back to his senses.

'Who dares to take a bath in my bathroom?' Jacob wondered.
