Jacques Isn't the kind to act impolitely even with her enemies. She's been that way all her life and she has no intention of changing herself now, but she was surprised he is saying this to her now."Even to your sister?" she asked."Yes, even to Emma." He nodded.He was serious with no playfulness in his eyes and Jacques Bit her lips."What changed? Just days before you were shouting at me not to speak a single word about Emma," she asked."There is a reason," he held her hand. "That's what I am going to talk about to Emma now. And I want you there."Jacques Bowed her head. He probably investigated and found out something about Emma.As much as she hated Emma, she didn't want to be watching her when she was confronted by her brother about the truth. Getting humiliated in front of your perceived enemy is one of the worst feelings and she wanted to spare Emma of that.For that, and Jacquesfeared retaliation.Jeremy might be acting against Emma to make sure she's not lost. Out of his lo
"Your face..?" Emma asked knitting her brows pointing at Jerlina's face.Jacques Saw the slight smile banging on to be let out at the corner of Emma's lips."You look worse," Jacques Said with a fake concerned face. "What happened?"Emma clenched her jaws for a second before turning towards Jeremy with a smile. "Jerry, you didn't hurt Her thinking of getting back at Gerard, did you? You have to control your anger. She and Gerard are different people and..."This ****! Why would Jeremy hurt me trying to get back at Gerard? Does she actually believe this or inciting Jeremy to do this?Jacques Wanted to grit her teeth, but then her jaws would hurt and so she didn't. She looked at Jeremy and he looked stunned and pale.Yeah, Joel... Your dear sister thinks you are someone who'd act like a savage! Does it hurt? I'm sorry."Joel," she held his arm and smiled gently to distract his thoughts. "What's for lunch?""Ah, yes... I cooked soup for you. Because you had an extraction yesterday, you c
Jacquesstaggered back holding her chest. Her eyes clouded and she leaned on the wall for support.The truth is out! He finally realized the truth!It won't change anything from the past, but she felt vindicated. She knew it. She knew Emma was behind it but her voice wasn't heard. A lot happened, but finally, the truth came out.She wouldn't say she was happy. There is nothing to be happy about in this circumstance. But she was relieved. She now knows that her beliefs weren't wrong and Emma is the source of most of her troubles.She let out a sigh.She looked at the tall back in front of her, shielding her from Emma. His voice was shaking and she could feel his pain.Is he showing me that I am more important to him? By confronting his sister in front of me... By confronting the one I thought was his most important person in front of me, is he telling me that he takes my side?No, it should be because the truth is on my side.But he insisted on my presence here. Although he's hurt, he w
Jerlina's eyes clouded.He apologized!She thought it was enough that Jeremy knew the truth. She didn't know she needed the apology.Turns out, she needed the apology.Everything that went wrong in her life, started with her meeting Emma again. She lived in fear and stress for months. After she lost her baby, she almost lost her mind trying to find out the reason behind everything.She slowly learned a lot of truths and little by little each of the knots in her heart got removed. She learned a lot, she changed a lot and she grew a lot for the better. She lost some and gained some. She learned that a lot of people truly love her; more than she thought.The biggest shock for her was the fact that Jeremy never hated her and he really wanted to protect her.But she feared him for the better part of her life thanks to the lies of Emma.And for Jeremy to not believe that his sister is not a saint till now, was a big burden in her heart. She didn't know why, but she didn't like Jeremy thinki
Jacques Pressed her lips and raised her eyebrows."Wife, huh?""Yes, of course," Jeremy said, puffing his chest.They are married. If she is not his wife, then who is she?"Who agreed to be your wife?" she asked, biting her lips.One of her brows was raised and that bunch of her hair hanging by her cheek made her look a thousand times more adorable."You didn't?" Jeremy raised his brows."No! When did I?" Jacques Raised her voice. The corners of her lips were lifted up and Jeremy couldn't help but pull her closer holding her waist.Leaning on the counter by the stove, he pressed her waist on his. Jacquestried to step back, but he pulled her closer. "Then what did you agree on? Who are we?"They've never defined their relationship properly till now. She used to hate him and now she doesn't. He has always loved her and now he has confessed to her. They are legally married.So what is their relationship?He was leaning casually on the counter and was almost at eye level with Jerlina. Jac
She says there is a chance... I have a chance!Jeremy hugged her. He wanted to jump and scream it to the world. But he decided to keep it for when she accepts his love.I really hope it is sooner!Will we have a baby by this time next year? I wish we had a girl. We can name her after our mothers.He went on dreaming."I'll be tending the roses," she kissed his cheek. "You finish washing the dishes," she turned and left, seeing him reveling in that little kiss she gave him."I love you, Jerlina... You're my Luna forever!" he shouted as she left the house.His heart was happy beyond comprehension. Humming a song, he went to finish doing the dishes. He saw the plate Emma used and his smile reduced.Emma... how could you consider Jacquesto be your enemy? Why do you hate her that much? Who can hate that one with the purest heart?-----She patted her face that was blushed red. Her heart was pounding and she ran to the garden.What's with me! I am not a teenager! Why am I fuzzing about a ki
Jacques Looked at the man lying on her lap, playing with her fingers. She prepared dinner that night since he seemed so out of it. After dinner, he asked her to join him to watch television and he didn't seem to be watching that comedy sitcom either."You can talk to me about Emma if you want, you know..." she said, caressing his hair. "Good memories, bad memories... I'll listen..."She won't mind much, and it would help him if he talks about Emma. Jacquesalso wanted to know what Jeremy actually thinks of Emma. And if she knows of that, she might rightly point out how Emma had manipulated him and how the signs were earlier there that he ignored his love for her.Jeremy was in deep thoughts, but it was not about Emma. He didn't want to be thinking about Emma today since this is the day Jacques Said that she'd give him a chance.He was actually thinking about what he should call her.He wanted to give her a unique nickname. Jacques Is a nice name but it is long. And Jer is out of the qu
Jeremy had very little hope, but he decided to wait. Waiting for her comes easy for him.He waited for some time and her door was still open. And as he watched, she came out of her room, still with her pout on.Is she still feeling bad?"Tell me more stories from your childhood, Jerlina!" he tried to use his normal voice, but his excitement to see her walking towards him got revealed by his excited voice."Really?" he saw her eyes widening with relief."Yes, tell me more about your grandpa... he seems like an interesting guy," he said pointing at his bed."He is! Geez, I have a lot to tell you about him...Where shall I start..?"With no care in the world, she walked to his bed and he kicked out the pest Earl who tried to sneak in. He made sure to lock his door.No one is permitted inside tonight!-----Jacques Woke up in the morning feeling a little dampness on her forehead. She opened her eyes groggily and met eyes with a smiling Jeremy.Her neck felt like it was resting on a block o
