Chapter 571 Love Me Again (2/2)
Jacob's worried frown on his face gave him away. He put his hand on Emily's forehead to take her temperature. The fact that she didn't catch a fever set his mind at rest
de him want to taste them again and again. But Jacob refrained, and peered straight into her eyes.
”You haven't answered my question yet.”
Emily stopped musing and said, ”I... I don't want to lie to you, but I also don't want to explain everything right now. Can you give me a little time?”
Jacob narrowed his eyes at her, perhaps to observe her facial expression and said, ”No.”
Emily avoided his gaze and murmured, ”I'm sorry.”
After a long silence, Jacob released her and asked, ”Then tell me. Why do you want to be with me?”
Emily was still at a loss for words, but the sorrow in her eyes gave her away.
Jacob sat there in an attitude of profound distress. The tension in the room continued to mount drastically and it was becoming difficult to breathe.
'Why can't she just tell me the truth?
Whatever. I don't care anymore.' Jacob's frustration was apparent.
Jacob turned around to leave when Emily suddenly embraced him from the back to stop him from leaving.
”Don't leave. All right, I'll tell you.”
Jacob could have easily pushed Emily away without any effort, but he stood there on the spot.
All he wanted was an explanation.
Emily pressed against his back. His warm body gave her support. She took a deep breath and said, ”I only have one wish. I want you to love me.
Jacob, love me again.”
