Chapter 29 Emma and I Had Broken Up
Chapter 29 Emma and I Had Broken Up
Logan had heard lots of praise before, but it was the first time she praised him. Although it was an insignificant remark, it made his heartbeat quicken.
"Huh?" Elena stared at his ears which became slightly red as if she had discovered a new world, "Logan, are you shy? Ouch!"
Logan's hand shook. He was distracted and forgot to be soft when he was applying ice on Elena’s cheeks, causing her to cry out in pain.
"No. Close your eyes and no talking!" He deliberately shouted at her, but his behavior was exactly what she wanted to see. She narrowed her eyes and laugh out loud.
She was so complacent that he immediately punished her. Elena only felt burning on her cheek. It was not pain, but burning, as Logan had kissed on her cheeks as punishment.
Finally, Elena was embarrassed by his kiss. Logan then wrapped her with quilt and said playfully, "Take a rest. The doctor will come and give you some anti-inflammatory and medicine applied to your face."
"OK." She felt so sleepy as if lying on on a cloud, and unaware of what he said. She just nodded carelessly, and the ice applied to her face seemed useless and made her face more burning.
Such unreal sensations lasted until the doctor came over. She then felt no burning on her face any more.
Logan asked her to rest and lightly closed the door. Jacob was silent until he felt that Logan looked at him coldly.
Jacob said, "According to the investigation, Emma came to G City because of Jeremy. She hired a private detective to follow him but, unexpectedly, the guy got the wrong room number."
His lips closed tightly. His expression even made Jacob feel cold. He had not deliberately investigated Jeremy's whereabouts before his trip, but he had not expected such a coincidence would occur!
"Forget it. Emma wouldn’t go smoothly even without me."
"Then we’ll do nothing?" Jacob wondered.
Logan nodded but was still a little nervous, "After all, Emma was her family, so it would be appropriate to punish Emma by their family."
By then, even he had done nothing. Jeremy and Mason would no let Emma go easily. She would suffer, but her suffering would never compare with those two slaps on Elena’s face!
"Yes." Jacob knew what he was thinking.
In Room 1809 of the Grand Hotel, Emma was lying on the bed while Jeremy stood on the balcony. He had smoked the whole night. There were lots of cigarette butts on the floor. His face was shrouded in smog.
"Jeremy?" Emma walked out of the room and saw a lonely back. She could not help but hug him on the spur of the scene and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jeremy pulled down her hands which Emma just put on his waist. He turned around with an angry expression that scared her to step backwards.
"You got someone to investigate me?"
Emma's heart jolted. She said, "I..." She wanted to say no, but when she looked at his eyes with a knowing expression, she could not help but feel guilty.
"Yes or no!" He shouted in a low voice. Emma was stunned with her little body shaking for a second. Her eyes became red suddenly, and she reached out anxiously to grab his arm. She said, "No! I don't know, Jeremy. What's wrong with you!" NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
"Then why are you in G City!?"
Emma was confused. Exactly, she was in G City, in his room, but wasn't she in Logan's room, and hitting Elena?
Why she was here now... Did Logan contact Jeremy and then send her back?
She shook her head in bewilderment and said, "I don't know. I passed out."
"Emma, you let me down." Jeremy kept a distance indifferently. There was a cold expression in his eyes.
"No!" Emma took a step forward but was refused, unable to hold him at all, and the tears in her eyes finally ran down and wet her face. She said, "Jeremy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that."
Jeremy pushed her away mercilessly and said, "I gave you the chance to confess, but you didn't want it."
He had asked her, but unfortunately, she did not admit it, and the last hope was gone for good. She gave up the chance herself, so no one should be to blame.
"No. That's not true. Let me explain..."
"No need."
Jeremy had already packed his stuff and took them out at this point. Emma knew what he was doing and subconsciously went up and hugged him tightly. She did not want him to go. She said, "Don't go,
Jeremy. I really know I was wrong. I swear. I'll never investigate you again. I will! Believe me!"
"Emma, you're just embarrassing yourself."
"But..." Emma clenched her teeth as she wanted to say more to let him stay. She hugged him tightly, but she also learned that plaguing him would just make him more and more annoyed.
She gradually loosened her hands that held Jeremy tightly and she said in a sobbing voice, "Go ahead."
Without looking at her, Jeremy walked straight out. Emma seemed to lose her all strength and fell on the ground at a loss.
Elena rested in the hotel for two days before she could go out. She looked at the fingerprints that had disappeared on her face and sighed. She thought that Emma really liked slapping others. Emma had fought with her for several times and every time she chose to slap Elena on her face.
"Logan, I'm all right now. When can I get out?" Her short vacation was halfway over, so she could not help but get nervous. She did not want to spend all her vacation inside the room.
In order to convince him, Elena deliberately got closer to show her face to him.
Logan pretended to examine her carefully, then he kissed her quickly. When he saw her blush, he said in satisfaction, "Well, it really looks better."
Elena looked at him with her eyes wide open, which looked very adorable.
Permitted by Logan, Elena immediately went to wear a fashionable dress considering the weather of G City and then they walked out of the hotel together.
Jeremy came out suddenly and stopped them. He said, "Elena, I want to talk to you. Let’s go somewhere else."
When Elena was about to say no, unexpectedly, Logan said then,"Of course. We should have invited you for dinner earlier."
Hearing that, Jeremy became a little angry. But when he saw Elena, he controlled himself and said "OK!"
......
In the private room of the restaurant, Logan called the waitress and ordered food, which was all her favorite dishes. Jeremy looked at them more and more coldly because of jealousy. He was trying to prove that he knew Elena more than Logan. So he passed the soup to her, "I remember you love it."
Logan took the soup before Elena could move, "She has just got better and this soup is no good to her."
What he said had a double meaning and indicated what Emma had done recently!
"Elena..." There was a heartbroken expression on Jeremy's face. He said, "I apologize on behalf of Emma to you. She was just childish and too willful, ans she should not hit you."
Elena bit her lips slightly and glanced at him, "If it's my sister's fault, why are you here to apologize?"
Then she covered her mouth and said as if she just found out, "Oh. I forgot you're my brother-in-law. Undoubtedly you can apologize on behalf of my sister."
"Elena, it's not what you think." There was a painful expression in Jeremy’s eyes.
Elena did not think so and said, "What? Am I wrong?"
"No." He shook his head and said, "Emma and I have broken up. She’s not suitable for me."
Elena stopped eating and looked over at him. Jeremy became nervous and looked at her sincerely with a hopeful expression.
Logan ignored him and just looked at Elena, waiting for her reaction.
"Elena, I said I broke up with Emma." Jeremy repeated undauntedly.
Elena finally looked up at him with a puzzled look on her face, "I heard that."
"Then..."
"So what?" She asked and did not conceal the sarcasm on her face finally, "Ah, my brother-in-law falls in love with me again, right? But I remember that you’ve said that you can only marry my sister. Right?"
Elena emphasized the word “brother-in-law”, which caused Jeremy embarrassed and mortified. His expression was so complicated that no one could know his feeling.
Elena narrowed her eyes and looked at him. Jeremy had intended to tell her lots of things but became speechless when he saw her expression.
