Chapter 852 Propose To Her
Soon, Emmeline's phone rang again.
Knitting her eyebrows, she didn't want to care about it at first, but she couldn't stand his gaze, so she could only pick up the phone.
As soon as she opened it, she saw another text message.
'I was wrong.'
Seeing that, she was stunned.
Following that, her frown deepened.
Then, she turned to look at him and saw that he was looking at her seriously. His eyes, which were usually cold and deep, had now lost all the sharpness. He looked at her guiltily, and with his watery eyes like a puppy.
Seeing that, Emmeline felt her heart tightened.
For some reason, she felt an itch as if she had just been brushed by feathers.
She didn't know what he meant. Was he pretending to look guilty?
Hmmph. She wouldn't fall for the trap.
With the thought in mind, Emmeline put the phone away and pretended to turn a blind eye.
Jara took a look at her and realized that this move had no effect. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly picked up a box of toothpicks from the table and began playing with it in front of him.
The rest were busy teasing Isaac and Esme, and no one noticed his unusual behavior.
After all, everyone knew him and knew his character. On such an occasion, it was already good enough for him to come. It was impossible to expect him to join the group chat like them.
Therefore, no one noticed what he was doing at all.
But Emmeline did notice it.
However, because she didn't want to give him the attention, she didn't really look at him. Occasionally, she would just take a glance at him from the corner of her eyes.
Seeing that he was no longer using his phone and sending text messages, but was sitting there fiddling with the toothpick, she thought that he was just playing with it.
Sneering in her heart, she thought Jara was really becoming like a kid because he actually played with the toothpick. Did he really think that he was a three-year-old child?
However, she didn't want to bother about him. Since he wanted to play, she would let him be. As long as he didn't annoy her, it was none of her business.
Thinking of this, Emmeline ignored him and let him be.
However, after a while, someone poked her arm lightly.
Subconsciously, she knitted her brows and glared at him angrily. She wanted to use this as a warning so he wouldn't provoke her again.
Surprisingly, he did not do anything, but pointed to the table in front of him, indicating her to look at it.
Then, when Emmeline looked over, she suddenly froze.
On the table, there were several letters arranged on the table with toothpicks, and they were 'J loves E.'
Perhaps, others wouldn't know what J and E meant, but how could she not know?
Wasn't that Jara was represented by J and Emmeline by E?
He...
She was so annoyed that at that moment, it was as if she was like a punctured balloon, and suddenly deflated.
But she was both angry and amused at the same time.
Meanwhile, Jara was still fawning over her as he revealed a big smile on his face, and Emmeline was so angry that she wished she could reach out and hit him.
However, in the end, there were too many people there that made it inappropriate to do so. Hence, the urge was suppressed.
In turn, she picked up the phone, and typed a text message in a hurry, then sent it to him.
"Stop doing those useless things. No matter how hard you try, I won't accept you, so drop the idea!"
After that, she pressed the 'send.'
Then, Jara's phone buzzed, and he immediately picked it up to take a look.
Although Emmeline had sent a text message, out of the corner of her eye, she had been paying attention to his face.
Seeing the change in his expression, from the beginning when he was happily picking up the phone, to when he saw the text, Emmeline noticed the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed. Somehow, she suddenly felt a little sorry.
Immediately, Emmeline came to her senses.
What was she doing?
Was she sympathizing with him now?
Ha, that's ridiculous. Why did he need sympathy?
Clearly, he was targeting her soft spot. If she really fell into his trap, pitied him, and forgave him, she would be the most stupid person in the world.
Figuring this out, Emmeline put the phone away and ignored him.
Probably because he was rejected again, the man's self-esteem was more or less hurt. Thus, in the following time, Jara didn't bother her again.
After the meal, in the afternoon, everyone wanted to go singing together.
Hearing that, Isaac was a little eager to join, but because Esme was there and he didn't want to accept it directly, so he asked her for her opinion.
Unexpectedly, she was very carefree, throwing her hair behind, and said, "Sure! Why not? Isn't today your birthday? If you don't celebrate it well today, are you planning to wait for the next time?"
Upon hearing these words, Isaac immediately broke into a happy smile.
Then, he immediately agreed. "Okay, I'll go and arrange for it."
This was a lackey's attitude, and his friends were all shaking their heads upon seeing this.
"Isaac is finished. He was originally a rich kid, but now he has become a slave under someone else's command. It is depressing."
"Sigh. Isaac's obsessiveness toward women is inherited. Don't you know this?"
When he said this, everyone suddenly thought of the loving couple of Isaac's parents, and they could not help but shudder.
They were nothing else but love birds.
As a local big clan, the families here were all familiar with each other, and they all had interactions. The only difference was the level of their relationships.
However, regardless of whether they were close or distant, as long as they had met Isaac's parents, they would have seen their affection toward each other.
They were so affectionate that only those who knew them knew that they had been a couple for 30 years. Otherwise, others would think that they were a new couple who had just held hands yesterday.
As they thought about it, they could only bear with the fact that Isaac was acting like a snob now.
Soon, Isaac had made the arrangements and the venue was on the top floor of this hotel.
Of course, the rest of the guests would not be going. Only the good friend who shared a table with Isaac would go.
It was fine for Emmeline to have a meal with them, but since she couldn't drink, she thought it would be a little disappointing if she went to karaoke.
And because Jara saw that Emmeline's feet had been a little swollen just now, he was not willing to let her stay out any longer. He only wanted to take her back so the doctor could have a look at her legs.
So he refused Isaac's invitation to go join him for the karaoke.
Seeing this, Isaac did not insist. After saying goodbye to the two, he led the group of people to the party.
Only then did Jara bring Emmeline back to the castle.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when they got back to the castle.
But it was very sunny outside. When Emmeline got home, even if she sat in the car, she couldn't help but sweat a tonne when she got out of the car and returned to the room.
Naturally, Jara went back to his room, and she also went back to her room.
Thinking that she had nothing to do now, and it was still early, she might as well take a nap in the afternoon.
But Emmeline was always a clean freak, so she couldn't sleep well if she was so sweaty. Thus, she was ready to take a bath first.
After that, she took off her clothes and walked into the bathroom.
Now that all the traumas on her body were basically healed, it was not a problem for her to take a shower.
In the meantime, Emmeline was immersed in the bathtub, enjoying the comfort of being wrapped in warm water.
