Chapter 607 The Answer She Wanted (1/2)

Jacob held her soft hands tightly wrapped in his own large hands. He looked into Emily's clear and pretty eyes, and soothed her, ”Everything's fine now!”

Although he could not tell the reason for her fearfulness, he knew how to comfort her, and make her feel safe.

She drew courage from his presence and warm assurance. Holding onto his hands with her own, their fingers formed a tangled web, making it impossible to tell where he stopped and she began. Emily asked then, to assure herself and explain to him, ”Jacob, you will not disappoint me, right?”

She still remembered their shared promise, that they would reveal to each other all their secrets once this was finished.

She hoped that he would then give her the answer she wanted.

”Yes! I promised you,” he answered her without hesitation. He looked into her starry eyes and said, ”So did you.”

...

Jacob became busy after returning to the Gu Consortium.

Emily silently counted the days. What she didn't know was that Sean had been calling her, but had not reached her as Jacob had ordered his calls blocked.

Magee, meanwhile, was considering what Jacob's plan was, given his new actions. Secretly he sneered at Jacob, but made no move against him either.

Magee continued to drive out seeking fun as usual.

He was out and about searching for entertainment, but became distracted by a woman as he was waiting for a red light.

”Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin! It's me!” The woman was a mess, and she ran up to his car and began pounding against his window desperately, leaving fist prints in ash and grime on the pristine surface of his vehicle.

He didn't even acknowledge her but revved his car instead, anticipating the light change. He seemed about to drive through the red light, but he didn't care at all.

The woman, however, ran fearlessly out in front of his car.

Subconsciously he hit the brakes. She was lightly deflected by the bumper and slid to the ground upon impact. Fortunately she was uninjured.
