Chapter 1020 Kiss Me (1/2)

Emily said as she whimpered. She had been squatting for a long time. Her legs were exhausted and gave up after a while. She soon collapsed onto the ground.

Jacob's eyes narrowed reflexively in an attempt to increase focus. His body reacted faster than his brain. He quickly reached out for her and held her in his arms right away without thinking.

Emily had prepared herself for the fall. She had been squatting way beyond her usual routine and was well aware that there would be dire consequences. However, she didn't feel any pain as she had anticipated. Instead, she felt weightless at first.

When Emily noticed that she was in his arms, she was stunned. She didn't even know where to place her hands.

She was, after all, in Jacob's arms. It could have been considered a normal event in the past. However, it seemed like a dream come true to her right now.

”Why...”

”Hmm!”

Emily struggled to hold herself up a little, but she couldn't feel her legs. She tried to talk but his lips were already touching hers. They were cold but gentle.

Her eyes beamed. Her body froze instantly. She lost sense of her surroundings. For a moment, all she could see and feel was Jacob.

The only thing she could think of was that Jacob was kissing her.

Jacob just couldn't hide his emotions anymore. They had been barricaded for a long time. All his emotions left his body like a gushing flood. Pain, care, love, and anger were mixed together into this long and passionate kiss. She had never felt more alive than she did right now.

He held her as tight as he could and kissed her as if it was their last kiss in their lives.

When he held her, he knew he had lost control of his heart. He was simply doing everything that his heart was commanding him to do.

He couldn't just watch her cry in front of him devoid of every emotion anymore. He had witnessed enough tragedy in life that he shuddered at the thought of having any.

He was afraid of the possibility that Emily might eventually leave him.

”Jacob!”

Emily regained her consciousness after a while and she pushed him away. She was blushing as her red cheeks showed. She gasped faintly as she stepped back. This kiss lit up the last bit of her hope. She looked at him and asked, ”Do you remember something now?”
