Chapter 849 Demand To Reconcile
Feeling a little flustered, she tried to push him away desperately, but he didn't move at all. As she was still a wounded person, how could she push him away?
In the end, she had no strength to resist. It was as if she was enveloped in the tenderness of the water, so much so that she did not even have the urge to resist.
Some time had passed.
And Jara finally let go of her.
At the moment, she was completely relaxed, and there was even a trace of mist in her eyes. Compared to her usual sharp appearance, she looked more delicate and gentle.
Reaching out his hand, he stroked the corner of her mouth.
Then, he said softly, "Emmeline, have I told you that your matters are my mine too?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was stunned.
Staring at him blankly, obviously, she didn't quite understand what he meant.
As he held her hand, Emmeline could feel the faint calluses in his palm, which ignited a feeling in her.
In a deep voice, he asked. "Can we get back together?"
Again, Emmeline was stunned upon hearing that.
She didn't understand why the topic jumped so quickly.
They were saying something else a moment ago and out of the blue, this topic was brought up.
Her delicate eyebrows knitted slightly and she shook her head.
"Nope."
Jara had long known that she would not agree so quickly, but he still refused to give up so easily. Hence, he asked again, "Why not?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was silent.
As Jara looked into her eyes, with the current position of him being on top of her, it was undoubtedly very ambiguous.
But it seemed that he didn't have too many dirty thoughts in his mind.
Instead, he stared at her and asked, "Are you still angry with me because of what happened four years ago?"
If he didn't say it, Emmeline would be fine. But as soon as he mentioned it, those bad memories swept through her mind, and Emmeline suddenly became annoyed.
Knitting her brows, she said, "Jara, I've been in jail for four years."
Jara nodded, "I know."
"Then you still think that I will agree to get back together with you?"
But a faint smile appeared on his face.
Reaching out his hand, he gently caressed her face and said softly, "I'm sorry. I apologize to you. Are you willing to forgive me?"
Hearing that, Emmeline was speechless.
Suddenly, Jara raised his eyebrows and added, "Or, how about you come up with an offense and send me to jail, I will stay there for four years to make up to you?"
Without expecting that Jara would be so shameless, Emmeline was so angry that she subconsciously wanted to push him away.
But when she gave it a push, he didn't move at all.
She could only give up and said in a low voice, "Jara, I don't want you to go to jail. I just can't forget what had happened."
After a pause, she added, "After all, I once trusted you wholeheartedly and loved you deeply, but the result was betrayal and suspicion. At that time, I had explained to you countless times that I didn't kill that woman, but you never believed me and sent me to prison. Now, you want me to fall in love with you again. I'm sorry, but I can't do it."
Her words were very resolute.
It was obvious that Jara had put on a long face.
Looking at her, he then asked, "Have you suffered in prison in the past four years?"
With a pause, Emmeline replied, "No."
Not only that, but he had also specially arranged an independent room for her.
And she was not short of anything else whilst she was in jail.
Other than the lack of freedom.
In a deep voice, Jara explained. "So, if you really think that I thought it was you who killed her, do you think your life would be so easy in those four years? And now, will I really be willing to be with a murderer who once killed my cousin?"
When he finished speaking, Emmeline's eyes widened in shock.
"What did you say? That person is your cousin?"
Jara looked at her with a serious gaze, "Or else what do you think?"
"I... "
Suddenly, Emmeline was a little confused.
The memories from four years ago whizzed through her mind.
She only remembered the fight between the Salvation Club and Lost Vanguard. After the collapse of the Salvation Club, she was suspected to be a mole, so she was locked up by Jara.
This trial lasted half a year.
During this half a year, a woman had appeared by Jara's side, and everyone was very respectful towards her.
Also, she faintly heard that the woman was the hostess of the castle. Therefore, she naturally thought that the woman should be Jara's new lover.
So... she was his cousin?
It was only now that she remembered the castle was left behind by Jara's mother.
Since his cousin was from Jara's mother's family, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to address his cousin as the hostess.
At that moment, Emmeline's mood had instantly mixed up.
With a frown, she looked at him, and asked in confusion, "Since you don't think it's me who killed her, why did you do that to me? Don't you know how important this experience is to me?"
In turn, Jara looked at her, feeling complicated.
There were even some things that he was prepared to reveal to her.
But after some consideration, he couldn't say it out in the end.
With a sigh, he said, "Emmeline, I know, it's my fault. I'm sorry. Let's take it as a chance for me to make it up to you, okay? Let's start over."
After Emmeline vented the anger in her, she felt a little tired now.
Turning her head aside, she said softly, "Let's talk about it later. I haven't thought about it yet."
She didn't want to face this problem now.
Because she did not know how to make a decision.
It was not as if she could forget the past that easily, and it was impossible for her to pretend that it had never happened. But now, facing Jara's request, she was reluctant to give up completely.
So she really didn't know what to do.
When Jara saw her attitude, his eyes darkened.
But at the end of the day, he did not force it.
With a soft sigh, he straightened up and stroke her head.
Then, he whispered, "Emmeline, as long as you don't leave me. I don't expect anything else."
When he said that, Emmeline's body trembled slightly.
From the man's tone, she could easily hear his dominating attitude.
Pursing her lips, she said nothing.
At this time, Isaac came over and asked them to go out as it was time to eat, so the two of them went out.
Because Emmeline's feet were swollen, Jara did not allow Emmeline to wear high heels again, thus he directly ordered someone to bring her a pair of flat shoes.
Fortunately, the dress she was wearing today was knee-length. So even if she changed into another pair of shoes, there wouldn't look unmatch.
By the time the two of them arrived outside, the banquet had already begun.
Isaac arranged for them to sit with him, which the table was occupied by all of his closest friends, and also the ones with the highest status.
Everyone knew Jara, so during the banquet, they were toasting continuously.
Because Emmeline and Jara came here together, they were arranged to sit together at the table.
Occasionally, Jara would place some food for her and filled her bowl with soup, which he was completely taking care of her.
It was precisely because of this that the eyes of the onlookers were filled with astonishment.
