Chapter 850 Showing Attention
It was a fact that Jara was very well-known in this circle, and almost to the point where everyone knew him.
In this area, nobody would disrespect him.
But the public thought he had a problem, which was that he had never had a woman around him, and he never approach a woman.
How exaggerated was this rumor?
It was so exaggerated that some people even said he was gay.
After all, a man with such a strong background and such great strength had no woman around him. So it was possible that his sexual orientation was questioned.
Moreover, when Emmeline and Jara were together at that time, both of them were very low-key. In addition, Emmeline had joined the Salvation Club back then, so it was better to not make it public. Therefore, except for the few people who were extremely close to Jara, no one in the outside world even knew that he had a girlfriend.
In this case, it would not be surprising if there were any strange rumors.
However, at this time, Jara, who was usually not close to women, was showing attention to a woman. What did this mean?
Everyone had a strange look on their faces for a moment.
As for Jara, he pretended as if he didn't see it and continued to do whatever he did.
However, although he thought it was no big deal, Emmeline couldn't stand the eyes staring at her.
When Jara placed another dish on her plate, she finally couldn't resist but whisper. "Enough! I don't want it anymore."
At the same time, quietly lifting her eyes, she glanced at the gaze of others around the table.
As expected...
Gritting her teeth, she felt so uncomfortable as if Jara's was roasting her on fire.
However, Jara had no idea about it. Seeing that she had rejected the food, he asked softly, "Don't you like it? Didn't you like this before? Would you like some soup?"
Hearing that, Emmeline couldn't stand it anymore.
After the confession at the lounge earlier, Jara seemed to become a totally different person.
Before that, although he was a little indifferent, he was at least normal and rational, and he wouldn't make things difficult for her.
Now, he was really...
Why was he so clingy like a little puppy?
Feeling a little helpless, she and could only say, "Jara, do you believe that if you continue to do this, I'll pour the soup on your head?"
After that, she gave him a threatening look by showing her teeth.
With a raise of his eyebrows, not only was Jara unaffected by it, but the corners of his lips also curled up in delight.
"Alright, then I won't do it"
After that, she really turned her head around and ate her food.
Finally, Emmeline was relieved.
But even so, he had already done what he needed to do.
The rest of the people wouldn't think that there was nothing going on between the two of them just because Jara didn't give her any more food afterward.
Instead, it was precisely because of their private conversation just now that it was as if they were intimately whispering into each other's ear, which confirmed their relationship.
Therefore, not only did everyone's gaze not return to normal as Emmeline had wished, but they also became more gossiping and enthusiastic.
There were a few people at the table whom Emmeline played games and drank with earlier in the afternoon.
And Kamryn was also there.
Everyone saw the intimacy between them, and apart from Kamryn, who had long known the inside story, the rest had looks of shock on their faces.
Previously, they thought they would have a chance with Emmeline. Now, it seemed that she had already had a boyfriend. Moreover, she was Jara's woman?
Why hadn't they heard before that Jara had such a woman by his side?
Therefore, the group of people couldn't help gossiping.
Someone asked, "Mr. Holland, you and Miss Illington... seem very close?"
Immediately, Emmeline lowered her head and ate her food, pretending as if she didn't hear anything.
However, she saw Jara turning his head to look at the person. With a slight smile, he responded in a gentle tone, "Yes."
Hearing that, his eyes lit up as he reached out his hands to make a heart gesture. "You are..."
Opening his mouth, Jara was just was about to speak.
Suddenly, with her eyebrows knitted, Emmeline didn't want to be misunderstood by these people, so she simply said, "No! Don't overthink it. I have nothing to do with him."
Upon hearing that, Jara was about to speak but suddenly, he choked on the words that he was about to say.
Turning to look at Emmeline, then he looked back at them and said calmly, "She's in a bad mood today. Don't mind her words. She and I..."
With a pause, he thought for a moment, then continued, "I'm trying to pursue her."
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
There was a series of jeers. Emmeline turned her head and glared at him.
Seeing that, Jara raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile.
Emmeline was angry!
Suddenly, she lost her appetite. Putting down the fork and knife, she got up and left.
Upon seeing this, Jara stopped eating and placed down his fork and knife as well. Then, apologetically and boastfully, he said to the people around the table, "She's angry. I'll go take a look. Do enjoy your food."
After that, he followed her and left.
The group of people around the table glanced at each other, then they couldn't help but sigh.
Initially, they thought that Jara was really a person who wouldn't get close to women, but now it seemed that they were incredibly close.
In fact, he was simply obsessed with her.
However, he was a person with high morale, so he was only obsessed with only one woman. Unlike the rest who fancied every woman.
After gossiping for a while, they no longer continued this topic and proceeded to talk about other things.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As Emmeline left in a hurry, Jara caught up with her from behind.
After catching up with her, he did not grab her or talk to her. Instead, he just followed her and walked slowly.
Emmeline wanted to get rid of him, but because of her injury, she didn't dare to go too fast. The man was like a dog, clinging on to her and unwilling to let go.
In the end, she had no choice but to compromise. She stopped and turned to look at him.
Under the sun, her face was flushed with anger. Staring at him, she asked directly, "Why are you following me?"
Jara stood in the sunlight with his hands clasped behind his back. At first glance, he looked especially like another rich kid who had come out for a stroll.
Looking at her, he said with a smile, "Who said I'm following you? Did you build the road? I can go wherever you want. It's none of your business."
"How dare you!"
Hearing that, Emmeline glared at him. Obviously, he was acting shamelessly.
He was a big hooligan himself. If he really wanted to be a rascal, no one could be a better rascal than him.
Therefore, Emmeline accepted the reality!
With a sneer, she said, "Well, this road belongs to your family. Of course, you can walk on it. I'll go back then."
After that, she turned around and walked back.
As expectedly, Jara had followed her back.
Seeing that, Emmeline was extremely angry, but in the face of such a rascal, she couldn't do anything about it.
In her mind, she thought, Jara used to be a person who valued his image very much. Why did he become so shameless now?
Just as she was about to let her imagination run wild, she suddenly raised her head and saw Isaac walking toward her with a beautiful and tall girl.
"Jara, Emmeline, where are you guys going?"
As he saw Emmeline and Jara, he came over with the girl to greet them in excitement.
