It was a fact that Jara was very well-known in this circle, and almost to the point where everyone knew him. In this area, nobody would disrespect him. But the public thought he had a problem, which was that he had never had a woman around him, and he never approach a woman. How exaggerated was this rumor? It was so exaggerated that some people even said he was gay. After all, a man with such a strong background and such great strength had no woman around him. So it was possible that his sexual orientation was questioned. Moreover, when Emmeline and Jara were together at that time, both of them were very low-key. In addition, Emmeline had joined the Salvation Club back then, so it was better to not make it public. Therefore, except for the few people who were extremely close to Jara, no one in the outside world even knew that he had a girlfriend. In this case, it would not be surprising if there were any strange rumors. However, at this
At the moment, Emmeline felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was Isaac's birthday party. When they were eating earlier, Isaac was present too. It was only when he received a phone call that he said he had to pick up someone and left. It took him a long time to come back. Logically speaking, as guests, she and Jara should not leave the table before Isaac came back. Now, the two of them had left ahead of schedule. Hence, it was all too awkward. So she hurriedly explained. "I didn't go anywhere, we were just walking around." After a pause, her eyes fell on the girl behind him. She wore a white short flower print shirt and a pair of tight jeans and carried a small bag on her back. Her hair was tied high into a ponytail and she styled it with a hair clip at the back. Overall, she looked very young and agile. Emmeline couldn't help but smile and ask, "Isaac, this is..." Seeing this, Isaac quickly smiled and introduced them. "This is Esme Romero,
Soon, Emmeline's phone rang again. Knitting her eyebrows, she didn't want to care about it at first, but she couldn't stand his gaze, so she could only pick up the phone. As soon as she opened it, she saw another text message. 'I was wrong.' Seeing that, she was stunned. Following that, her frown deepened. Then, she turned to look at him and saw that he was looking at her seriously. His eyes, which were usually cold and deep, had now lost all the sharpness. He looked at her guiltily, and with his watery eyes like a puppy. Seeing that, Emmeline felt her heart tightened. For some reason, she felt an itch as if she had just been brushed by feathers. She didn't know what he meant. Was he pretending to look guilty? Hmmph. She wouldn't fall for the trap. With the thought in mind, Emmeline put the phone away and pretended to turn a blind eye. Jara took a look at her and realized that this move had no effect. After thinkin
Just then, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside. Emmeline didn't expect that someone would look for her at this time. Therefore, when she took a shower, she didn't care about closing the door of the bathroom. After all, she was the only one in the room. Usually, even if Yunne wanted to come in, she would knock on the door first. Who would have thought that someone would suddenly barge in? Therefore, she didn't have her guard up. However, at this moment, someone had indeed broke in. Because her hearing was so sensitive that she came to her senses almost as soon as the door was opened and someone stepped into the room. Opening her eyes abruptly, and the next second, she was met with Jara's eyes. "Ah— !" A scream was heard, and the next second, Jara was heard shouting as well. "Get out!" It was said to the doctor behind him. In fact, the doctor had not yet stepped into the room, so she didn't k
When Emmeline realized that he poured out some medicine cream as if he was about to help her rub it on her legs, her heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "You don't need to do it. I—I will do it by myself later." With a pause, he looked at her and sneered. "Are you sure you can do it yourself?" "Uh..." Hearing that, Emmeline took a glance at her swollen legs. It seemed that it was really a little difficult for her to do it on her own. However, she was still unwilling to let Jara help her, so she hurriedly replied, "I can ask Yunne to help me. Otherwise, I can ask the doctor to help me too." When she finished explaining, Jara sneered, "Yunne is just a maid. Do you think she knew how to do it?" After a pause, he added, "Also, do you really think that the doctors here have nothing to do and will help you rub the medicine every day? Does she not have other things to do and have other patients to see?" Hearing that, Emmeline was slightly stunne
They had dinner in peace. After the meal, Jara went back to his study to work, while Emmeline asked Yunne to watch TV with her in the living room. In the past, she did not like to watch TV series because she thought it was a waste of time and quite boring. However, since she had been injured during this period of time and had to stay at home every day, she became more patient. Gradually, she developed the mood to watch these things. The two of them sat on the sofa, each holding a bag of potato chips, watching as they ate. One of the plots in the TV series was about the supporting actress, who used some tricks to confuse the male lead so that he would misunderstand that the female lead was the one who stole the company's information. Suddenly, Yunne blurted, "This style is comparable to Kayla's." Surprised, Emmeline turned to look at her. With a teasing smile, she said, "She's already gone, but your resentment against her hasn't subsided yet."
When it came to a matter of the Jade of Heaven, Jara didn't mention any of it to Isaac because it involved too many things. Furthermore, Isaac did not know that four and a half years ago, the pendant was the reason for the war between Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard. Therefore, when he found out that Jara, who had never enjoyed attending such occasions, actually appeared, he even laughed and teased. "Jara, now that you have a lover, it seems like you're different now. In the past, you would stay at home and won't go anywhere, but now, you're actually in the mood to attend an auction? But, honestly, there are really a few good things today. I heard that those pieces of jewelry were worn by the Queen of the Uqobia from the royal family. They must be very expensive. You can have a look." Hearing that, Jara glanced at him impassively. "I'm not interested in that." Immediately, Isaac put on a look of disappointment and said, "Hey, I'm not saying that you are..
As soon as Emmeline said that, Isaac's white and tender face suddenly turned red. Stuttered, he was afriad to admit nor deny it. He was afraid that Esme would fly into a rage out of humiliation and leave him at once if something went wrong. That way, they couldn't even be friends in the future. Therefore, when he heard Emmeline's words, he was a little flustered. Immediately, he turned to look at Esme, only to find that she was not angry at all. Instead, she was smiling and looking at him slyly. "I see. Emmeline, I really don't know if you did't tell me." Realizing that she was not angry, Isaac heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he smiled obsequiously and said, "Esme, I... I wanted to buy gifts for you not because I wanted to pursue you, but I—I really think that you are a wonderful person, and you deserved the best things in the world. I..." The more he spoke, the more he wished he could bite off his own tongue. His tongue was usually
