Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

Chapter 360

“No way, I couldn’t just be taken away like that.”

When Jeremy saw Emma, his eyes lit up.

Desperately, he pleaded with Emma, “Emma, help me out. Say something for me. I know you still care about me. You wouldn’t want to see me go to jail. Emma, trust me, once this is over, I’ll marry you right away. That’s been your dream, hasn’t it?”

Jeremy was grasping at straws, babbling incoherently.

Emma’s eyes flickered slightly, yet she walked toward Jeremy.

Overjoyed, Jeremy exclaimed, “Emma, you really do…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Emma raised her hand and delivered a slap, her face devoid of any emotion.

Jeremy was dumbfounded.

In disbelief, he looked at Emma, “You… you hit me?”

Seeing his reaction, Emma felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

With a detached tone, she said, “You’ve had that slap coming for a long time, Jeremy. You’re paying for your own mistakes now. Let’s just leave it at this – we’re done seeing each other.”

With that, Emma turned and walked away.

Eason glanced at Jeremy and then quickly followed Emma.

Jeremy, still reluctant to give up, wanted to shout out something, but the police shoved him into the patrol car.

On the street, Emma kept walking.

She walked so fast and so purposefully as if walking was the most important thing in the world to her.

Eason silently followed her, saying nothing.

They walked all the way to the riverbank before Emma finally stopped.

Eason stood beside her.

Beyond the railing, below, the river rolled on relentlessly.

Emma quietly watched for a while.

It felt like all the darkness, fear, and helplessness of the past were being washed away with the river.

After a long moment, Emma turned to Eason and said. “There’s something I’ve told you several times before. But now, want to say it again.”

A bright light shone in Emma’s eyes as she spoke. “Eason, thank you”

Truh, thank you.

1 never thought that Jeremy would actually face punishment.

1 also never imagined that the past could really be left behind.

This time. I knew Jeremy would definitely face the consequences he deserved.

1 finally let go completely

“I’ve also said it several times already. No thanks needed,” Eason remarked.

Emma blinked with a hint of shyness and asked, “Are you really sure you’re into me?”

Eason paused for a moment.

Looking at Emma’s slightly flushed face, he felt a stir in his heart,

He thought to himself, I’m not entirely sure whether I like Emma or not.

But Emma… she’s definitely someone special to me.

Seeing her so vulnerable, I feel this strong urge to take care of her. The idea of her in any pain is unbearable. I want to give her the best of everything, all for the reward of her smile.

Is this what liking someone is like?

1 just don’t know.”

Emma didn’t wait for Eason’s answer. She mustered up her courage, a bit shyly, “If… if you still like me, maybe we could…. give it a try?”

Her voice grew softer, almost inaudible at the end.

“You mean…” Eason doubted he heard her right

Emma refused to repeat herself, blushing, “Just think about it.”

With that, she quickly slipped away.

Eason watched her leave, feeling a strange emotion stirring within him.

He thought, 1 am not sure what liking someone is like.

“But I am certain that I don’t want to leave Emma’s life just like that.”
