Chapter 645 Dont Leave Me Alone (1/2)

Emily was astounded by his reaction. She could never imagine a strong man like Jacob to cry in front of her. She stammered, ”You... What's wrong with you? Did someone say something to you?”

Sniffling like a child, Jacob murmured, ”They're going to kick me out of here...”

”Don't worry. I won't let that happen. I won't let them kick you out of here...”

Emily patted him on the back to comfort him. ”Did you forget it already? You are my little brother. No one would dare to do anything to you. Don't worry...”

Jacob latched onto her leg and implored, ”Please don't leave me alone...”

He didn't know why, but deep inside his heart, he always felt a fear that someday he would lose Emily. He felt as though he had lost her once, and every now and then, the piercing pain would strike his heart and disappear without a trace.

The panic was like a deluge of ice water surrounding his every limb, creeping higher until it passed his mouth and nose. That was when the attack became absolute, shutting his body down faster than he could react.

”Trust me.” Emily coaxed Jacob for a while and managed to get him off the ground. All of a sudden, she felt extremely exhausted.

This was the first time Emily had to comfort someone, as Sean would always be the one to take care of her when she needed help.

”Let me take you out for lunch. Just two of us.” Emily took Jacob to the dining hall. The two of them walked in holding hands.

Jacob obediently followed her wherever she went. He would often take her soft, white hand whenever the opportunity presented itself. When he realized that Emily wasn't annoyed by it anymore, his heart gladdened.

After lunch, Emily ordered some desserts.

Jacob always hated sugary foods, so in a subconscious gesture of disgust his nose wrinkled and he drew his head backwards. Emily giggled at his repulsion and enjoyed the desserts on her own.

As for Jacob, just staring at her was enough to fill his heart with sweetness. With her in front of his eyes, he didn't need to look anywhere else.

The moment Emily looked up at him, she met his faithful eyes and felt embarrassed immediately. ”Don't stare at me. It's rude to stare at people like that,” she complained.

'No one liked to be stared at while they ate.

Why was that so hard for him to understand?' Emily sighed at her heart.
