Chapter 1012 I Like Her (2/2)
Wanting to take Jacob back to their room to let him have a good rest, Emily didn't have the time to focus on the meaning behind Michelle's words.
”Don't... Don't leave me...”
Frowning and grimacing, Jacob mumbled. Though his eyes were still shut, his voice was deep and gruff. He sounded desperate and sad. He waved his hands, looking like he was trying to call Michelle back.
Shocked, Emily froze in place. The onl
had turned out to be the weakest thing in the world.
”I am still your wife... Your wife is still me. Why do you want her? Why?”
Emily sobbed. She didn't understand what was happening between them. She refused to accept the facts in front of her. She struggled to find a good excuse that would explain everything. However, the pungent perfume on Jacob made her want to throw up.
Feeling Emily's sorrow, her painful words stabbed Jacob's heart like a sharp knife. If there was another way, he would not hurt Emily like this. However, he had no choice. Darren had met the people behind the black market several times. Even though the KING Group was in serious debt, Jacob knew Darren was going to recover soon.
Michelle meant nothing to Jacob. He was just using Michelle to put up a show for Darren. Having the same enemy, Jacob put up with Michelle despite knowing how Michelle felt for him. He would continue to do so until they took down their enemy.
”Do you want to know why? I will give you the answer then. I like her! Are you satisfied? Since you kicked her out and decided to continue to be my wife, I guess I have to put up with you then. Take off your clothes!”
Deep and dark were Jacob's eyes. His look and his tone told Emily how angry he was. Broken, Emily felt like she was drowning in the center of the deepest ocean.
When Jacob admitted that he liked Michelle, Emily felt her heart stop beating. Her blood and her whole body turned cold.
