Chapter 961 Only Jacob And Emily Left (1/2)

In utter puzzlement, Harriet racked her brains trying to figure out why these two handsome men were in love with someone like Emily.

As she found herself deeply attracted to Jacob, Harriet felt nauseated by the scene unfolding right before her own eyes. In her delusional mind, she even drew a picture of the man she would choose if both of them had proposed to her. She glared at Emily through the crowd, stifling a contemptuous cackle under her breathe to hide her true feelings.

”I don't care who you are, but she is my wife and I'm taking her back with me. As for what you've done to her, I'll see to it that you pay your dues!” Jacob said in a cold voice.

He stepped in front of Emily and hid her behind him, deliberately maintaining eye contact with Seamus. He was proclaiming his sovereignty over his kingdom like a lion would.

Jacob might have appreciated the fact that Seamus had saved Emily's life, but he would never excuse Seamus's dreams of making her his wife.

”Do you think you're just going to walk out of here willy-nilly?” Seamus asked, looking back at Jacob with an easy grace.

Seamus felt an unpleasant sensation, a sense of confusion, rising from the bottom of his heart. In truth, he was beginning to question the morality of his actions. After all, he was asking another man's wife to marry him. However, Jacob's intimidating attitude aroused a side of him that felt like he needed to prove himself.

Seamus was well aware that he didn't feel strongly enough about Emily. His attraction was initially born out of curiosity and as they got along easily, he had confused his infatuation for love.

”Seamus, please stop! I don't know what made you think that I would agree to marry you. We barely know each other. I owe you for saving my life, but we both know that it's not love. You need to think about what you're talking about before rushing to conclusions!” Emily said emotionally from behind her husband.

Emily had come to learn that Seamus was a nice person after getting to know him for a while, but she had no idea why he insisted on marrying her even though she had turned him down on multiple occasions.

Emily was reluctant to see Seamus turn against her and Jacob. For one, she had grown tired of making her list of enemies any longer than it already was, and secondly, Seamus was not a malicious person. She hoped to come to a peaceful compromise with Seamus so that she could go back to living her life with Jacob and their children.

Seamus, however, remained silent, placidly gazing at Emily with an indecipherable expression.

”Seamus, this is my husband and I'm going to leave with him. Don't try to stop us. I love him and will never leave him for another man,” Emily said firmly.
