From the balcony at the end of the floor came a whiff of cigarette smoke.
Jack walked towards the balcony and found Jacob coughing in the corner. The next moment, Jacob's fist was whizzing towards Jack.
Jack quickly jumped sideways, evading Jacob's attack. With disdain in Jack's eyes he said," Jacob, you are not as nimble as before."
Jacob stared at him expressionlessly, retaining a natural aura of power.
Due to Jacob's physical condition, he was no match for Jack at that moment. Jack snorted," I've heard that you got badly injured. Shouldn't you be in bed resting instead of disgracing yourself here?"
Jack had always been respectful of Jacob, but that was before he had learned that Jacob was having an affair with Emily! As a man who also fancied Emily, Jack could not put up with it!
"Maybe it is you needs to behave yourself," said Jacob, his eyes were as cold as ice.
"Hope you can always hold your confidence."
"You lied to her," said Jacob, all of a sudden.
Jack tensed up at Jacob's words, quickly realizing that Jacob was talking about the fact that he had deliberately kept the truth about the earthquake from Emily. He arrogantly lashed out," So what? What matters is that we have set aside our differences, and I will do whatever is necessary to keep it that way."
"What is it that you really want?"
Jacob did not believe a single word coming out of Jack's mouth. Jack was notoriously popular for being petty and narrow-minded; he wasn't the kind of man who could turn a blind eye to what Emily had done to him in the past.
Strangely enough, Jack looked calm as ever, considering the circumstances. What did Jack intend on doing?
Jack could see right through Jacob. Just the memory of seeing him with Emily that day, was like a dagger to his heart. With a cold face, Jack said," What I do or don't want to do, is none of your business. Most importantly, matters between me and Emily are exclusive just to us, and you have nothing to do with it."
After a pause, Jacob chuckled," You are right. And I am looking forward to hearing the news of your break-up with her."
His wish was like a curse, piercing through Jack's ears word by word.
"Don't you worry about that. Sooner or later we will get married and have kids."
anaged to keep a calm face, but deep down she was freaking out, panic-stricken.
She recognized the cufflink without a moment's hesitation. It must have been from Jacob's coat when he visited her on her birthday.
"Well? Are you sure?" Emily could not tell from Jack's expression whether he believed her or not. She watched as Jack tossed the cufflink onto the table.
"Yes," Emily nodded and put the tray on the table.
Jack suddenly grabbed Emily's hands, pulled her in his arms and held her tightly on the sofa.
"What's up with you today?" Emily asked.
"Nothing. Just let me hug you for a while."
The girl in Jack's arms was delicate; the fragrance from her body slipped into Jack's nose and slowly calmed him down.
"Emily, can you tell me what happened after we broke up?"
Emily was taken aback by Jack's question. She couldn't find the right words to help her give him an answer with a proper expression.
The air between them grew thick and room got silent.
They both said nothing to each other for a while. Finally Emily pushed Jack away and asked in a calm tone," Do you really want to know?"
Jack's throat tightened, as if a beast was trying to break out from within him; if it did manage to break out, everything would go out of control.
Jack was starting to get anxious, like the walls were closing in on him. The thought of running away from there had crossed his mind more than once.
"No, now I don't want to know."
That's because he had already discovered the truth.
