Not One, But Two!
Chapter 146
Chapter 146
Jonathan happened to be distressed about what he could do to finally see Abigail again, and Emma's phone call had undoubtedly given him hope.
"Of course. I'll be there ASAP!"
Despite knowing Jonathan had agreed to come, Emma was still seething with jealousy right then.
This man's feelings for Abigail had gotten deeper since five years ago. He had even thought about calling off their engagement for Abigail. Even though she had called Jonathan over as a buffer for dinner that night, hearing his eager and happy voice, Emma clenched her phone in response so hard that her knuckles turned white.
Then, she heard the dial tone. Jonathan had ended the call. But Emma's heart tightened, twinging.
Five years! She had spent five years of her life on Jonathan. It'd be impossible to say there was no love between them.
How would she have given her body away if she hadn't taken a fancy to Jonathan back then?
As a daughter of the Kain Family, she knew her purpose was to be a pawn that would bring her family benefits through a union. And because of this so-called benefit, she actually had no say in who she would marry in the end.
However, Abigail captured Jonathan's heart.
Emma didn't know what Abigail had done to deserve it, but Jonathan was hot. Compared to those grandad or ordinary trust-fund babies, he was leagues above them!
Hence, she instantly got infatuated. She even stopped at nothing to replace Abigail. However, was she still not able to make him fall in love with her when she had given him her all in the last five years?
How could he still be smitten with Abigail?
Why?
What had that woman done to have Jonathan fall so head over heels for her?
How could she even attract the great Greg Buckley's attention and seduce him into protecting her?!
Emma chucked her phone away and screamed with her head buried in her hands, unwilling to resign to fate the more she thought about it. "Ah!"
"Goodness me, do you have a death wish!?"
Sasha had only gone to change her clothes when she heard Emma's scream. With that, she hurriedly covered Emma's mouth and took a wary glance at the study. Seeing that Philip didn't make any significant responses, she heaved a sigh of relief.
"What the heck were you screaming about? I know you don't like Abigail, and it upsets you that she's riding on Greg's coattail now, but we can't stop them from coming, can we? If you really can't stand the sight of them, just find an excuse to eat out. Why don't you call Jonathan? You two haven't gone out on a dinner date for a long while."
Sasha thought her idea was brilliant, but never would she have thought she had hit Emma's sore spot dead in the center.
Had her mother not noticed that Jonathan wanted to break up with her?
How could the Jonathan at present miss out on a chance to talk to Abigail?
Emma was really upset, but seeing her mother, who cared about and thought wholeheartedly for her, she couldn't say anything.
How should she?
