Emily pulled her hand back in disgust. She glanced to her side, only to find a familiar tall figure. She stood there stiffly, knowing fully well who it was.
It was Jacob who was walking towards her.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His cheeks looked a little sunken, and his eyes were rimmed in dark shadows. Yet he was still as charming. He was pale, and his eyes, dark as night, held too many emotions.
He was rushing towards her, but in her eyes, each of his steps was slow and calculated, as if each step was pressing against his heart and causing him pain.
They finally met again.
Jack soon noticed that something was wrong with Emily. He followed her line of sight and frowned as he saw who was approaching.
"Jacob, what are you doing here at a time like this?" he asked.
He narrowed his eyes and grabbed Emily by her waist. "Cloris," he whispered tenderly.
His heart pounded loudly. He was so nervous he could feel cold sweat trickling down his temples. He was certain Cloris was Emily, but he was unsure whether she can still remember her past.
"What if she still remembers Jacob?" he thought.
Jack tightened his hold on Emily. His nerves were shot in fear of what he knew. She looked at him with furrowed brows, trying to escape his grasp. All of sudden, a hand pulled Jack away.
"Get away from her!" Jacob yelled, dragging Jack away from Emily.
Jack glared at him and shouted. "What the hell are you doing?" He was furious at Jacob. His eyes were blazing as he stared at him.
But Jacob was not paying attention to him at all as his eyes were fixed on Emily. He tightened his lips, unsure of what to say.
His heart was pounding so loudly it might explode. In his mind, he knew that he had a lot to say. But looking at Emily now, he couldn't even say a word.
Emily looked at him with hatred in her eyes. Her hands formed fists in her pockets. They were closed so tightly that her nails were digging into her palms.
For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. All they could see in each other's eyes were themselves.
Jacob bathed in the silence but he couldn't keep it in any longer and called her out. "Emily."
Emily's lips quivered slightly. But instead of talking to Jacob, she turned to Jack. "Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with me?"
Jack was taken aback but he reacted quickly. "Yes, what would you like for dinner? I'll book a table for us." He
y relationship they could have was a business relationship.
When she saw his eyes widen in shock, it became clear to her that he never thought of their bond that way. "Emily," he began, "I know I was wrong before. I'm really sorry for what I've done to you. I've realized what a big mistake it was. If you could just give me a second chance..."
He let his words hang, not knowing what else to say. He was planning to have a fresh start with her, and it made him happy that he was given a chance when she lost her memory. But never in his wildest dreams did he think that she didn't lose her memory at all.
He knew that with her confession, she was telling him that she knew her true identity as Emily.
"I'm Cloris, and from now on, I will live my life as her. Emily's been dead for a long time," she said, explaining her desire to leave her past behind.
Jack shook his head. "I don't care if you're Cloris or Emily. I like you all the same."
She raised her hand to stop him before he could continue. "But I don't like you, Jack. And I don't want to waste your time. That's the reason why I told you the truth." She tried her best to remain calm and continued. "It's impossible for us to get back together, so please just don't waste your time and your energy."
Jack felt like the wind was knocked out of him. His heart hurt, and he was unwilling to give her up. "Love can be fostered, Cloris. You don't have to say it now. I can wait until the day that you're ready to tell me you love me," he told her.
"Do you know what it tastes like, the chewing gum already chewed by others?" she asked.
