Chapter 328 - For His Sake
Jonathan wants Emma dead?
Jeremy found his heart skipping a beat. With what Bobby told him and with Jonathan targeting Emma, did Emma do something deserving the threat to her life?
"Ah, Emma…" Jerlina shook her head and Jeremy peeked a look at her phone.
"Amanda was in contact with Emma these few days. Somehow… Gordon got Amanda\'s phone records and she sent the images to Emma first. She sent it to you after receiving a call from Emma… [email protected]! How did Gordon get all these details?" Jerlina raised her brows.
Seeing her exposed shoulders, Jeremy covered her in his embrace. "Wear your clothes. Don\'t get sick…" he held her closer and kissed her behind her ear.
As always… she is focusing on the unnecessary details… It won\'t be hard for Gordon Faraday to acquire this many details. And Emma… What is she planning by doing this? Should I ask her to stop this? She might royally piss off that descendant of Dracula if she keeps on with this…
"Gordon wants to call me…" Jerlina said reading the next message and Jeremy nodded.
"No!"
She kept on saying. And he could understand that she was talking in support of Emma. She was not pleading, more like she was telling Gordon not to touch Emma.
"She always does juvenile tricks like this. It\'s now she gets high. Just let her be. And that ignorant husband of hers too. And their family. I don\'t want to use your great influence for pieces of trashes like them. Leave them be…"
She kept on saying.
When she talked in support of Emma, Jeremy didn\'t like it. But when she started talking about Gerard and his family, he couldn\'t bear it.
"Just let them do what they want, Jeryl…" he said rubbing her abdomen.
But she was not listening to him. He understood her. And she understood Jonathan too. He wants to remove Emma from their side too, but killing her is a bit too much.
After arguing with Gordon for a while, Jerlina ended the call and leaned on Jeremy with a sigh.
"I don\'t think he listened, Joel…"
"Mmm…" Jeremy said nothing.
He didn\'t know what to say in this situation. But he knew whose side he will take no matter what. It would be the side the woman in his arms is.
"I hate Emma, but I don\'t want anyone to do anything against her using my name or for my sake. I just hope one day Emma realizes that she is wrong and she is hated for a reason," Jerlina said.
"Why?" Jeremy asked.
He is glad that she is thinking along this line and has an idea why she is thinking this way. It is her character. But he was a little curious as to why she thinks this way and wanted to hear it from her lips. He knew he\'d fall for her more once she says it.
"Why? Do you want her dead, Joel?" she turned to look at him but he kissed her cheek, keeping her facing forward.
She then sighed and held his hand.
"I hate her. And you show yourself to not care for her. But I know, Joel. You won\'t like her to suffer. You are not such a person to throw away the love you had for her just like that. And I won\'t blame you for that. I would never want to change that part of you. Because if you are not such a person, you wouldn\'t have waited for me for ten long years. And I wouldn\'t have gotten you as my husband…"
She kissed his hand.
"You may say you won\'t mind if something happens to Emma in my name…? But I am not sure… I am not going to take that chance. I don\'t want you to have a single misgiving against me in your heart. I won\'t lose your love even a bit. I\'ve gotten greedy…"
Jeremy buried his forehead in her neck and chuckled. His heart started to pound and he felt the same feeling he had that day he met her in the pub.
She never misses his expectations. She only goes far and beyond his expectations.
"I don\'t think I would fall out of love with you, love…" he said as his voice shook. "Loving you is all I know…"
"Yeah, I am blessed," she answered.
She knew that he loves her the most. And she knew she is right about the feelings he has for Emma. He still doesn\'t hate Emma. He might still run to help Emma if she needs it. But he won\'t leave her to be with Emma like before.
It is a little hard for her to accept, but she is not going to let Emma come between them in any form.
Who knows? Although she has no hopes for it, Emma might turn a new leaf and will become a good human. And then they can be together as a family.
Well… I don\'t think it is possible but…
To be honest, I don\'t want that to happen. I don\'t want to get along with Emma after everything she did.
But I will accept it if it does happen.
For Joel\'s sake!
"I am thinking of meeting Mark\'s lawyer tomorrow," Jeremy said.
He\'s been putting off that meeting for a long time now. He should face it.
"That\'s good," Jerlina patted his hand. "He probably left the rock by the pub for you!" she giggled. "He told me how much you liked that place…"Like a lone wolf, he\'d stare at the moon\' he told me about you. It was poetic…"
"I did stare at the moon whenever I felt lonely," Jeremy said. "And whenever I missed you, which was a lot of times…"
"Aww, baby…" Jerlina turned to face him and kissed him. "I\'m here now, aren\'t I?" she pressed her forehead on his.
"You are!" he held her cheek. "And I have you naked in my arms! I am the one who got blessed!"
He kissed her and slowly their kiss got deepened.
"Was it the day you got drunk?" he asked parting her lips.
That was the day everything started to change in their life and he is forever grateful to Mark for that.
"Mmm," Jerlina nodded. "I didn\'t tell you this before?" She asked.
"Not sure," he smirked. He would hear this a thousand times without getting bored.
"I wanted to ask you something," She pecked his lips. "Why did you change your mind on our wedding day? Weren\'t you planning on letting me go until then? Or did you lie?" she asked.
She wanted to ask him this for a long time but she never got the chance.
"I just felt like it!" he shrugged.? And he seemed to be blushing.
"Why? Did you change your mind that day for sure?" She asked.
Her heart started to pound and she wanted to know more.
"Yes… Till then, although I didn\'t want to, I was planning on letting you go…" he brushed the hair falling on her cheeks and smiled at her.
"But I am glad I changed my decision now," he kissed her.
