Chapter 775 A Peaceful Mind
In the living room of the main building.
Jara had already changed his clothes and was waiting there.
Today, he wore a white casual outfit. Without his usual solemn temperament, he looked bright and handsome as if he had time-traveled back to his college years.
Sitting next to him was a man who looked ruffled, leaning on the sofa and eating grapes.
"Say, Jara, did you suddenly change your personality? Didn't you say that you will never wait for a woman? Now, which beauty are you waiting for today?"
Isaac had arrived since early in the morning, so he had been sitting there for a while.
In the meantime, Jara was browsing through the news on his iPad when he gave Isaac a look.
His expression was as cold as ice.
"If you're impatient, you can leave first."
When Isaac heard the response, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly added. "Hey, don't take it seriously. I'm just joking with you."
As he spoke, his body relaxed and leaned on the sofa. With a smile, he added, "Anyway, I have a lot of free time recently. It's no big deal to wait for a while. I'm just curious about who is this friend of yours that you are willing to wait for."
When he finished his sentence, Jara glanced at him and didn't say anything further.
Soon, the sound of light footsteps were heard approaching them.
Raising his eyebrows, Isaac jumped up from the sofa at once. and said with a smile, "Hey, the main character is here."
In the next moment, the door of the living room was opened, and a tall and slender figure slowly walked in.
Emmeline was dressed casually today. She wore a light gray outdoor jacket, and a pair of straight and slender legs were tucked under a pair of casual trousers. Her short hair was neat, with a few strands of hair dangling on her forehead. Her eyes were sharp and bright, giving off a fresh look.
When Isaac saw her, he was stunned.
As Jara's best friend, Isaac had known him for nearly ten years, so he could certainly recognize Emmeline.
And he was also aware of their complicated history together.
The conflict between the two had been so intense that it was a do-or-die situation. Nearly every friend knew about it.
In the end, Jara sent her to jail cruelly and mercilessly.
Now, they were actually living under the same roof peacefully?
Were they back together, or had they strike an agreement?
Surprised, Isaac looked doubtfully at Emmeline, then at Jara.
On the other hand, Jara and Emmeline were quite calm about it. After Emmeline walked in, she glanced at Isaac, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Just the three of us?"
Hearing that, Isaac had a strange expression on his face.
Then, Jara put down his Ipad calmly and stood up. After tidying his clothes, he said in a low voice, "There's another person."
As soon as he finished his words, an attractive voice of woman was heard.
"Hey, it's a fine day outside. Jara, you should really go out with me for a walk."
As the voice came closer, the person who entered the house turned out to be Kayla, who was dressed in a Chanel outfit.
Her makeup was exquisite. She had a pair of bright eyes and shining white teeth while her slightly curly hair was resting on her shoulders, swaying slightly as she walked. She looked extraordinary—the kind where she would put people in good mood just by looking at her.
When Isaac saw her, he was once again taken aback.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a sneer.
Naturally, it was Emmeline.
At that moment, with her cold gaze, she looked askew at Kayla in ridicule and disdain.
However, Kayla didn't pay any attention to her. Over the past few days, she had seen and asked everything about the situation between Jara and Emmeline. She knew that they had a history together in the past, which was in fact, very unforgettable.
But so what?
Now, she was the one by Jara's side. As they said, a good man would never dwell on past relationships.
And for someone like Jara, he was obviously a straightforward and decisive person.
Since he could send Emmeline to jail and leave her in prison for four years without bothering to care about her, how could he still have feelings for her?
Therefore, Kayla was not worried at all. Ever since she investigated their past, her hostility toward Emmeline lessened a little.
Then, she walked toward Jara and held his arm as she said coquettishly, "Jara, I heard that you're taking me to play golf today. Is that true?"
While Jara shifted his gaze to his arm, where Kayla was holding, his brows were slightly knitted together.
The strong smell of perfume emanated from Kayla almost made him sneeze.
However, he managed to suppress it. Then, he even reached out to hold her waist and gently nodded. "Well, haven't you always said that you're bored here? I'll take you out for a walk today then."
When Kayla heard that, her eyes lit up in an instant.
She was so excited that she almost jumped up.
"Really? Then I'll change my clothes right away."
"Hey."
Just as she was about to leave, Jara grabbed her.
Looking at her up and down, he then said, "There's no need to change. This is fine. It looks nice."
Kayla wore a fishtail skirt and a white batwing sleeve shirt. It was obvious that she was very thin, but the shirt was bulging around her breasts, which made her waist look even smaller as if it could be fractured easily.
As Kayla noticed the look in his eyes, her face flushed involuntarily as she suddenly felt shy.
"Really? I'll wear this then."
Nodding absent-mindedly, his gaze secretly drifted toward Emmeline's direction.
However, her back was now turned toward him as she stood straight like an unshakable pine tree.
For some reason, he felt his chest tightened as if he had a pent-up frustration that he couldn't release.
With a soft snort, he ignored her, turning around and picking up his coat, he then took Kayla outside.
Only when the pair walked out of the house did Isaac came to his sense. Confused, he watched as they left, then glanced at Emmeline.
In the next second, he asked tentatively, "Miss Illington, are we... going too?"
There was no expression on Emmeline's face, and she stepped out of the house without even giving him a response.
Without expecting that he would be snubbed, Isaac rubbed his nose and felt a little embarrassed.
However, he knew Emmeline had always been like this. She was cold-blooded four years ago, not to mention now.
Only, he didn't know what Jara was up to. Since the two of them have already broken up, then they should go their separate ways, and never have anything to do with each other anymore.
Oddly, Jara was keeping her close. In that case, if they got back together, Isaac would be very happy to see that.
However, judging from the current situation, it was obvious that there was another woman involved. Furthermore, at first glance, he could already tell that Kayla was definitely not a woman Jara would fall in love with. What was he actually up to?
With the thought in mind, Isaac really couldn't figure it out.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, shaking his head and went out with them.
There were two cars parked outside; one was a black Rolls-Royce and the other was a dark gray Lexus.
