Chapter 7 When Jacob saw that I was truly angry , his previously arrogant expression suddenly dropped . His eyes . quickly filled with tears . I suddenly realized how much his acting skills had improved over the years . Jacob stepped forward , grabbed my sleeve , and , crying , said . Emily , you know , I married Jessica for the publicity , it was all for my career . Besides , because you didnt show up that day , the wedding didnt take place . You cant be so angry . Its not like the investment from J & H Group has been canceled . Please come back with me , okay ? I know you didnt like the marriage your family arranged for you . Lets go back and live together , okay ? Looking at Jacob , who was crying with snot and tears , I suddenly felt how unfamiliar this man was to me . I began to question why I had ever fallen for such a hypocritical and pretentious man . I realized Jacob came to find me today for a reason , but I never expected him to bluntly state his purpose like this . I knew this had to be my fathers doing . Unlike my mother , who always thought things through carefully , my father must have decided that since I was married to Mason , there was no need to continue investing in Jacob . Thats why he withdrew the investment without informing me . But it was fine ; otherwise , I would have had to bring it up with my father today . Jacob saw that I wasnt speaking and tried to hug me . I suddenly snapped back to my senses and took a large step back to avoid him . Then I looked at him and smiled . Jacob , how do you know I didnt like the marriage my family arranged for me ? My husband is great , kind , and thoughtful . On our first day of marriage , he knew about my stomach issues . And you ? We were together for eight years , and you only ever teased me for having a special ability where I wouldnt feel hungry even if I didnt eat all day . When Jacob heard me mention our past , it seemed like he found some hope in my words . His previously low mood suddenly became more lively , and he tearfully said . Emily , I was just joking with Jessica . Besides , I really do love you . I originally planned to announce to the public that I was breaking up with Jessica after filming that drama . Our relationship with her was just for show . I didnt expect you to really care . Looking at Jacobs nonsense , I felt helpless . I took out my phone and pulled up the car dashcam footage from the night before I left . I shoved the phone in front of Jacob and pressed play . A series of intimate sounds came from the phone , and Jacob froze , staring at the footage . It took him a long time to realize what was going on . He grabbed my phone and hit the pause button . 75.0 % I looked at Bamb and smiled helplessly Jash . I didnt confront you about these things behre because I looed you I was willing to endure the branilation . Fat the moment I let you . I mopped wing you . I will chose not to argue about in case I wanted to give us both a dignified ending . I hope you understand , dont keep pestering the Lets go our separate ways from moon is that okay ? When Jacob heard this , he suddenly dropped to his knees in front of me , crying as he said Emily , please , just one last favor . Dont cancel the investment for my next movie . You know , this is my last chance to move up . If I miss this opportunity . Im really done … Sering Jacob like this , it was impossible not to feel a little moved , after all , we had been entangled for eight years . But when I thought of the slap I gave myself in the mirror that day and all the harsh treatment I had endured from Jacob over the years , I still shook my head helplessly . Its impossible , Jacob . My family has already sacrificed a lot for you over these years . The road ahead . youll have to walk on your own . I wish you good luck . After saying that , I turned around and went back to my room , closing the door behind me . Through the door , I could still hear Jacobs desperate cries , but this time , his cries could no longer bring my heart back . After dosing the door and returning to the quiet room , I suddenly felt a bit awkward . Those unbearable past events , those ugly scars in the relationship , had eventually been seen by Mason . 81.2 % Chapter # Chapter 8 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
