Chapter 605 Please Handle My Heart Carefully (1/2)
Emily's cheek pressed against Jacob's firm chest. She heard and felt his heart beating loudly. The intimate distance made her feel uneasy and awkward. ”No, it's not like that, ” she started. ”I'm not afraid...”
”I know you're keeping something from me,” Jacob said abruptly.
Emily felt shocked; her heart skipped a beat. What the hell could Jacob possibly know? And what was with the sudden change of his attitude?
She had no idea whether or not she should be worried. Last time, Jacob remembered something that made him feel upset. He got crazy and the situation just got worse and worse. This was the last thing Emily wanted to happen right now.
Sean mentioned that with continuous memory stimulation, Jacob might gradually lose control and completely become a mad man.
Emily didn't want that outcome at all.
Jacob waited for Emily's response, not realizing that there were so many thoughts going on her mind right then. He grew impatient and continued, ”Your silence means you admit it. But I forgive you.”
Emily did not expect Jacob to say that. She looked up at him with an astonished look on her face. ”What did you say? I don't understand what you mean,” she said.
Jacob grinned, ”You do.
I...
I have a secret of my own. I guess we can call it even then.”
Emily got more and more confused. ”What are you keeping from me?” Emily asked in a puzzled tone.
Jacob raised his hand and pressed his index finger at the middle of her soft lips, shushing her gently. ”I can't tell you right now,” he said, ”but you'll find out soon enough. When all the other problems are solved, we'll exchange secret. How about it?”
Emily looked at him in a trance, her thoughts flying all over the place. She wanted to say something, but was unable to bring herself to utter a single word.
Did destiny give her good news this time?
She opened her mouth and was about to say something, when a lovely voice interrupted.
”Secret? Daddy, mommy, what little secrets are you talking about? I want to hear them, too!” Beryl squeezed between them, looking back and forth from Emily to Jacob, her big eyes brimming with curiosity.
