Chapter 862 You Are Mine
So she tugged at him and said, "I'm not feeling well. Can you take me to the restroom?"
Isaac turned around and nodded, then he took another look at Mr. Payne and let out a snort.
After that, he told Jara and Emmeline to wait for them at the same spot before turning around and went to the bathroom with Esme.
After he left, Mr. Payne also left with a gloomy face.
This time, he didn't even exchange a greeting with Jara. It was obvious that he wasn't happy about it.
However, Jara was not that kind of person who would hold grudges.
Not only did he not haggle over it, he greeted him attentively. "Mr. Payne, take care along the way."
Hearing that, Mr. Payne almost tripped over as he was about to leave.
Emmeline couldn't help but laugh, turning to glare at him angrily. "Why are you making fun of him?"
Raising his eyebrows, Jara replied, "I'm not. I worried for him. After all, he's still so ambitious at such an old age. He's not a person to be trifled with."
Helplessly, Emmeline shook her head.
"You have the nerve to say that he is ambitious. After today, I'm afraid everyone will know how ambitious you are."
Upon hearing her words, Jara laughed.
Suddenly, he turned around, facing her as he lowered his head and said, "My greatest desire to win is to obtain you. To the ends of the world, and I will not rest until I die."
When Emmeline heard his words, she was stunned.
Her face turned red almost in an instant.
When Jara lowered his head, her whole body was enveloped by his tall figure, and surrounded by his breath.
Feeling a little flustered, she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, her legs seemed to be a little weak. When she was about to take a step back, the man grabbed her arm and pulled her toward him. Her whole body suddenly fell into his arms.
While hugging her, he gently caressed her head as he said, "Emmeline, you are mine. You can only be mine."
Listening to his sweet talk, Emmeline felt she was in a mess.
During this period of time, Jara's feelings towards her were as clear as day.
The man didn't seem to hide his urge to possess her as if he wanted to nibble away her rationality.
Of course, Emmeline knew that it was not a good idea to keep avoiding him.
But other than avoiding him, she didn't know what to response for now.
Neither of them spoke for a while.
Suddenly, they heard someone teasing from behind. "Hey, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are hugging each other already?"
Startled, Emmeline looked up, only to see that Isaac and Esme were walking toward them from the bathroom.
Blushing, she quickly pushed Jara away as if she did something wrong.
On the other hand, Jara was very calm. He took a glance at him and said, "Is your skin itching again?"
Isaac giggled as he glanced at Emmeline and Jara, as he seemed to have understood something.
Then, he came over and clapped on Jara's shoulder, saying with a smile, "Fine, I'm justing joking around with you. If you don't like to hear it, I'll shut up then."
Alhough he didn't say anything, his espression had explained everything he wanted to express clearly.
Seeing that, Jara couldn't be bothered to argue with him. It wasn't long before the staff came over to get his signature.
After signing the paper, the staff handed the Jade of Heaven to him.
Before leaving, the staff kindly reminded him. "The item is expensive. Please take care of yourself, Mr. Holland."
Hearing that, Jara nodded his head.
Only then did the group leave.
Isaac and Esme had something else to do in the afternoon, so naturally, they did not follow.
Jara and Emmeline went straight back to the castle.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon. Both of them were hungry. As soon as they got home, Uncle Poick had prepared an exquisite lunch on the table.
Since they had the package, they were not in a hurry to see it anyway, so they might as well sit down and fill their stomach first.
Both of them finished their meal very quickly.
After the meal, they left the dining room to the servants to clean up, and went upstairs together.
Uncle Poick didn't know why they were going upstairs for, but when he saw the two of them acting so amiable, he was very happy.
So, after cleaning up, he prepared a plate of fruit and went upstairs in person.
At this moment, in the study upstairs.
Jara and Emmeline sat on the sofa respectively. Seeing Uncle Poick come in, Emmeline stood up and took the fruit.
With a smile, Uncle Poick said, "I shall leave you both alone now."
Nodding, Emmeline then waited for him to leave before closing the door and came over with the fruits.
She put a piece of fruit in her mouth with a fork and nodded. "Wow, it's so sweet. Would you like to have one?"
Raising his head, Jara looked deeply at her.
After a while, he opened his thin lips and replied. "Okay."
Emmeline did not think much about it, so she picked up a piece of fruit with her fork and stuffed it into his mouth.
Jara held her hand and ate it.
Whether it was intentional or not, his chin accidentally brushed across her fingers.
He was already a thirty year old man. Even though he had just shaved his beard in the morning, tiny buds of hair had grown.
It tickled when it brushed acrossed her finger, it carried a unique masculine sense.
Suddenly, Emmeline's heart trembled.
And her body shivered slightly.
However, the man seemed to be unaware of it. After he finished eating, he took out the box, putting it on the table and said, "Do you want to open it or me?"
Seeing that, Emmeline withdrew her hand and tried to control her feelings. She pretended to feel nothing and replied, "You open it."
Then, Jara nodded and opened the box.
A piece of crystal white jade with shiny glow was lying there quietly.
Although it was not the first time for them to see this thing, after four years, they could not help but be amazed by it when they saw it again.
Following that, Emmeline couldn't resist to pick up the jade.
There was a bone-chilling cold when she held it. With the help of the lamplight, one could see that there were faint lines of words engraved on it. It did not look like calligraphy, but more like some special symbols instead.
The four corners were polished to be round and smooth, but the three-finger-wide piece of jade was like an ice in her hand.
But it was more comfortable than the coldness of ice. It was like a layer of cool water, seeping into one's body through the jade pendant.
Seeing that, Emmeline couldn't help but gulped.
It had to be said that even if she ignored the bizarre rumors brought about by this jade, it would still be a priceless treasure to look at.
Meanwhile, Jara sat there, quietly looking at the jade in her hand.
After a while, he asked, "Do you see any clues?"
Looking at it carefully, she shook her head.
Then, Jara stretched out his hand. "Let me take a look."
So, Emmeline handed over the jade piece.
The crystal clear jade pendant became even smaller and translucent in Jara's big palm. Under the light, the texture on the jade seemed to be slightly more vivid.
