Chapter 841 Please Believe Him
Meanwhile, Jara's gaze was filled with doubt.
"I've never seen you celebrate your birthday so extravagantly before. What's going on this year?"
As soon as he said that, Emmeline was stunned too.
And Isaac scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly.
"Jara, just pretend like you don't know even if you've seen through me. Show me some respect."
Surprisingly, Jara let out a rare smile this time. "Which girl?"
In an instant, Isaac's face turned red gradually, and he was stuttering.
"Well, you'll know when by then."
On the other hand, Emmeline still didn't understand what they were talking about. Seeing this, she interrupted and asked, "What are you talking about? What girl?"
In response, Jara smiled faintly and explained. "Isaac usually hates banquets the most. But, this time, he actually wants to hold a banquet on his own birthday. I won't believe him if he said he is doing it for himself.
There was no other reason. If he had a reason, it could only be that he had a crush on some girl, but he had no reason to invite her to join him as he was not familiar with her. Therefore, he could only come up with a high-sounding reason, such as throwing a banquet.
Many people will be attending the banquet, so the girl won't suspect that he has ulterior motives and will agree to attend. When the time comes, he only needs to make some small moves at the party and create a romantic encounter with her. By then, even the most beautiful woman will fall for him."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline was completely stunned.
It never occurred to her that this was the reason for Isaac's actions.
For a moment, she was laughing in tears. At the same time, her gaze swept across their faces with a faint smile.
"Tsk. Your motives are dangerous. Be careful of being exposed. If she did not fall for you as you imagine, but, in turn, accuse you of being manipulative. I'll see what you'll do by then."
Hearing that, Isaac was stunned by what she said.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
"It can't be, right?"
Of course, Emmeline was just trying to scare him. How could she know what the girl would think?
Therefore, when she noticed his face turning white, she immediately burst into laughter.
"Come on, I'm just joking with you. You're so considerate. Any girl will fall for you. Good luck. I have high hopes for you."
After finishing her words, she raised her fist and made a gesture to cheer him on.
It was only then that Isaac was relieved.
It was the first time Emmeline showed such a relaxed and adorable look in front of others. While Jara looked at her, his pupil dilated automatically.
However, he did not say anything and continued to chat with Isaac for a while. Isaac had other things to do in the afternoon, so he left soon after.
After Isaac left, Emmeline felt that it was inappropriate for her to stay here with him alone, so she turned around and was ready to leave as well.
However, before she got to the door, she was stopped by Jara.
Then, he looked at her with a deep gaze.
In a deep voice, he said, "I will take Kayla to attend Noel's wedding tomorrow."
When the words came out, Emmeline's heart missed a beat.
Her happy mood suddenly sank as if water was splashed all over her.
What did he mean by taking her to the wedding?
Suddenly, a thought came to her mind. Usually, for people like Noel, the guests would bring their family members to attend their wedding.
Was he trying to imply something to her?
It turned out that in his heart, Kayla was the most suitable partner to go with him. Could it be that he was actually serious about Kayla?
As soon as she thought of that, Emmeline's face fell unconsciously, and her eyes were covered by a layer of ash, instantly losing the luster.
Meanwhile, Jara had absorbed everything before his eyes. In fact, he was actually very satisfied, but he didn't show it on his face.
Then, he walked over and looked down at her. "What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, Emmeline came to her senses.
When she looked up, Jara was already standing in front of her. His handsome face was blurred by the dim light in the room, which made her feel even more bitter.
In response, she forced a smile.
"I—It's nothing."
Turning her face away, she looked elsewhere, trying to avoid eye contact with him.
She could feel that she was panicking inside. Suddenly, the things that she believed and confirmed in her heart seemed to have collapsed at this moment.
Without wanting to lose her composure in front of him, she quickly replied, "I'm just a little tired. I'll go back to my room first."
After that, she pushed the wheelchair and was ready to leave.
However, just as she turned around, Jara pressed on the handle of the wheelchair.
He was so strong that she could not resist.
Instantly, Emmeline's heart trembled, and an inexplicable grievance and annoyance welled up in her.
What on earth did he want to do?
Since he had made up his mind about Kayla, why did he have to come and provoke Emmeline again and again?
Didn't he know that he was incredibly annoying that way?
With the thought in mind, Emmeline was upset, but suddenly, she heard faint laughter coming from above her head.
She was stunned as she raised her head immediately.
His handsome face looked unusually chiselled from the dim light, and his deep dark eyes were filled with smiles at the moment. The way he looked at her was as if he was looking at his most cherished treasure.
"Tell me, what were you thinking just now?"
Leaning over, put his hands on the armrest of her wheelchair, and asked in a low voice.
As Jara did this, the distance between the two of them was suddenly narrowed.
With that, Emmeline could almost feel his breath blowing on her face, as she shrank back involuntarily.
But even so, her petite body was still completely shrouded in his shadow.
She moved her lips. After a moment, she said, "I didn't think of anything."
It was obvious that she was just being stubborn.
Hearing that, Jara smiled.
Reaching out, he pinched her chin gently, forcing her to look up at him.
His eyes were very deep, like two black whirlpools. While Emmeline looked at him, it was as if she was about to be sucked into his eyes.
All of a sudden, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
Her heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, her brain froze all of a sudden and went blank. Following that, she felt the warmth and softness projecting on her.
In fact, there was a loud bang in Emmeline's head.
It was almost just a quick peck as his lips left in an instant.
Looking at her, he said softly, "Emmeline, can we get back together after tomorrow?"
As soon as Emmeline heard that, she furrowed her brow.
Reason told her that it was impossible.
Therefore, she replied with a poker face, "Jara, we were done long ago."
Yes, it had indeed come to an end four years ago.
However, Jara didn't care about what she said.
In a deep voice, he continued. "Believe me, things are not what you think. I have never betrayed you. Give me some time, and I will tell you the answer. Not only this time, but also four years ago. I will help you untie every knot in your heart. Believe me."
