Chapter 613


    Emily grabbed Kobi''s hand. Her eyes were filled with helplessness as she slowly muttered


    something.


    "You said that you loved me, then why do you stop loving me now? Did I do something wrong? Tell


    me, I can amend it."


    "Also, I don''t mind if you still like Ariah. Just treat me well in the future and I''ll be content..."


    Emily had never been so insignificant before.


    Right now, she was willing to do anything for Kobi.


    Standing by the side, Ariah was worried but she couldn''t do anything. Why did Emily have to be this


    stubborn? It was just a man. She could always find another one.

    Why did she have to ce herself so insignificantly?


    Meanwhile, Kobi stroked Emily''s face and asked with a smile, "Babe, do you really wanna leave


    me?"


    "No, I don''t wanna leave you..." Emily shook her head.


    Just as long as Kobi was good to her and treated her as he did in the past, she would pretend none


    of this had happened.


    "Great." Then, he turned to look at Ariah and said with smug, "Did you hear that? As I said, she


    couldn''t leave me. So you can''t take her away."


    With a sneer, Ariah refuted, "Tsk, I can''t believe that you use her love as a tool to keep her! You''re


    just unbelievable!"


    "Well, what can I say. She loves me."


    "Kobi, she''s your fiancee, and she loves you a lot, so why can''t you just treat her well?"


    Wouldn''t he get guilty in breaking Emily''s heart this way?


    Nevertheless, Kobi chuckled upon hearing her words and leaned over, whispering, "You''ve seen


    that she couldn''t leave me. So even if I hurt her, she would still stay."


    What a jerk!


    To be fair, Ariah wouldn''t get angry this easily, but tonight, Kobi was really pissing her off!


    She just didn''t understand how Kobi could be so heartless?


    Hadn''t he thought about how Emily would feel at all?


    What a selfish man!


    Seeing Ariah ring at him in frustration, he suddenly smirked and said, "I didn''t know that you''re


    so considerate about Emily. However, have you thought about yourself? Because I think you''re the


    pitiful one."


    Ariah frowned. "What do you mean?"


    "Jimmy doesn''t really love you, yet you''re still with him. Aren''t you pitiful?"


    "Tsk, are you trying to sow discord between Jimmy and me?"


    "It''s understandable that if you don''t trust me. You should just ask him. He''s been looking for Nicole


    all these years."


    Ariah was stunned.


    Once again, Nicole''s name was brought up.


    This name was mentioned by Anna before, and now Kobi.


    It seemed that this woman must have some kind of close rtionship with Jimmy.


    "Anyway, take your time." Kobi looked at her deeply and said ambiguously, "If there''s anything that


    you''re not clear about, you could alwayse to me. I''ll tell you whatever you wanna know."


    After that, he went to Emily''s side and caressed her face as if he was petting a pet. "Don''t go


    anywhere. Wait for me, okay?"


    Emily responded with a nod. "Okay."


    He then left.


    The bedroom soon quieted down, leaving only the two girls there.


    A whileter, Ariah turned to Emily and asked, ''Are you sure you still wanna stay? It doesn''t look


    like Kobi is treating you well."


    Hearing that, Emily bit her lips. "Ariah, I don''t wanna be like this either. I know that you''re upset at


    me and I''m too."


    "Then why don''t you tell him just now?"


    "I''m scared..."


    "What?"


    "I''m scared that Kobi will leave me if I reallye with you. Please just forget about what I said


    earlier. I didn''t really mean it."


    A bitter smile spread across Emily''s face. "Sometimes, we just say things to protect ourselves


    because we''re scared inside."


    Sighing, Ariah held her hand and reassured, I totally understand. But if you need anything, just


    come to me. Don''t keep everything to yourself."


    Now, she only hoped that Kobi would treat Emily better soon.


    Emily hugged her and said with a smile, "Ariah, you''re so kind to me."


    Downstairs-


    Mack spotted Kobiing down.


    Clearing his throat, he called out, "Kobi."


    Kobi stopped and turned around.


    "Come here." His father waved at him.


    With a questioning look, Kobi walked over, wondering why Mack had called him.


    "Sit down first." Mack pointed to the chair opposite him. "And let''s y chess."


    "Had someone y with you already?" ncing at the chessboard, Kobi asked.


    Because the chess pawns were moved. So obviously, Mack was ying with someone else before


    him.


    "Yeah, but Jimmy went to talk to your mom just now. And then, you came back." Mack exined


    why Kobi didn''t see Jimmy. Then, he raised his chin at the chessboard and said, "Anyway, don''t


    mind about him. Let''s y."


    Saying that, he moved his pawn.


    Kobi could only do as he said.


    After a few rounds, Mack gradually frowned. He looked at Kobi and questioned, "Howe you''re


    getting worse at this? You made two mistakes in just three rounds. Back then, we could be equally


    matched."


    Now, Kobi was even worse than Jimmy.


    With a wry smile, Kobi exined, "I''ve been focused on my research abroad in the past few years


    and I hardly y chess anymore. So naturally, I''ve got worse."


    "Fair enough, but still, it was like you''re new to this." Mack shook his head. "I might as well just y


    with your brother."


    "Ahem."


    Kobi was choked speechless.


    Seeing that, Mackughed and reassured, "Don''t worry. I''ll practice with you before you go back.


    Just take two hours a day and I''m sure you''ll get back to how you were before."


    "Sounds good."


    "So why don''t you stay home more often so I can teach you about chess. Lately, you''ve been


    spending more time outside than at home."


    Then, Mack added casually, "What''s so fun outside? Or are you busy with something?"


    Kobi merely replied calmly, "Nah, I''m just hanging out with my old ssmates."


    "It''d better be that."


    Mack took a deep look at him as he was clear about what Kobi was up to in the past few days.


    Then, with a serious look, he warned his son lightly, "Don''t do anything that you shouldn''t have


    done. Do you understand that?"


    Instantly, Kobi''s heart skipped a beat and he nodded. "Yes, I understand."


    "Good. Now, go and find your brother. He''s been looking for you." Mack''s face was full of smiles


    again as he waved his hand. "Besides, it''s no fun to y chess with you anymore."


    "Alright."


    Kobi got up and went to the living room.


    Looking at his son''s back, Mack sighed as he knew that Kobi wasn''t hanging out with his


    ssmates recently. Instead, he was investigating something that happened a few decades ago.


    It was something that Mack didn''t want anyone to find out about, which was why he warned Kobi


    just now.


    He hoped that his son could understand that and stop looking into it.


    Some things were best to be kept as a secret.
