Jack was gladdened that they had made limited eye contact, otherwise he would have been tempted to actually blindfold Emily to stop them ogling each other.
She looked down at the ground, as if lost in her thoughts. "I want to eat something now," she said to Jack.
He immediately suggested, "Okay, let's go to my private room."
His private room had been booked for them, and now was the perfect time to have lunch.
Even though she hated Jack, she would not hurt herself by starving herself. After all, the unborn baby still needed nutrition. So they had a harmonious lunch together, without much conflict or argument.
After lunch, Jack saw that the atmosphere was amicable enough, so he took the opportunity to propose, "Emily, you haven't been out of the house in all this time. It's a beautiful day. Why don't we go to the movies together?"
She seemed to be thinking of something, and after a few seconds of deliberation, she said, "OK."
"OK?" He did not expect she would agree so swiftly. For a moment he didn't grasp her answer, "You, you promise?"
"No," she rescinded.
"I heard you say yes!" Jack wanted to be assured of her words.
"So why are you still asking then?" she retorted.
"I just want to make sure of it." He could not be more flattered, and he speculated that she had agreed to see the movie with him, because she was in a better mood today.
Afraid that she would go back on her word, Jack hurriedly booked tickets for them. Seeing she didn't have any objection to his choice, or maybe because her mind was not on the film at all, he schemed and chose a love story for them.
In the cinema, Jack did not have the theater specially cleared for them, and they quietly went in. Because of the dim light, no one recognized them, taking them as another pair of ordinary lovers who came to see the film.
Jack protectively guided her to their seats as the movie began.
She was holding a bucket of popcorn, while he whispered to her in a soft tone, "Emily, do you remember we used to go to the movies when we were in college? Back then..."
Before he could reminisce about the past, Emily interrupted him directly, "I don't remember."
The smile froze on his face. "It doesn't matter. I could tell you all about it..."
However, she refused to listen to his nonsense, "Just stop talking. You are getting in the way of my seeing the movie.
fter hearing his banter, Emily could not help but look at him speculatively for a few more seconds. After a long pause, she spoke, "Stop it already. Aren't those the people you called over?"
He was astounded by her keen powers of observation, while his eyes sparkled out of guilt, "Emily, what are you talking about... How could they possibly be the people I called?"
She was speechless, and could not understand how the man's brain worked. "All the humiliations I have experienced, do you really want to try them out one by one? Don't forget this. I was not only smashed by eggs, but also splashed with sulfuric acid. Would you like to try that one out?"
"Emily..." Jack didn't know what to say to defend himself. He really wanted to go back to the past and punish whoever had insulted Emily and get them arrested. How he wished he could let those people pay for their sins!
But he neglected to acknowledge that he was the person who had insulted Emily the most.
Emily couldn't be blamed for seeing the truth so easily. The actors were too careless, for they just broke the egg over them, which was such a harmless thing. Besides, she also knew that the outside world constantly viewed her relationship with Jack. The hearsay was much more nasty than what the actors just scolded them with...
Finally, he had always been so penny-pinched and narrow-minded. There was no way for him to suffer such a humiliation without any of the surrounding people getting caught in the cross fire. Unless he planned it all!
Did he really see her as a three-year-old kid to be manipulated?
