Chapter 497 I Don''t Want To Like You Anymore


    "Your flower is about to bloom. Don''t you want to have a look at it?" Jack said it in a low voice while


    looking at the flower tenderly, as if looking at someone through the flower itself.


    But when the maid looked at his eyes, she only felt a kind of unspeakable sadness. She had a


    premonition that perhaps her young master''s loved one would nevere back.


    "Give me the flower." Jack suddenly broke the silence.


    "Sure," the maid replied respectfully. She carefully handed the flower pot over to Jack.


    Jack held it with both hands preciously.


    "When the flower blooms, you wille back, won''t you?"


    No one dared to respond to him. Only the cold wind whistled through the silence. But the small flower


    bud in the pot seemed not to be afraid of the cold. It shook with the wind, which looked adorable to


    Jack.


    Jack touched the buds tenderly. A small smile curved on his face, but soon it faded away.


    "Let''s go," Jackmanded his man.


    "Yes, Mr. Jack."


    Jack took the pot of flower to thepany. Nobody dared to ask and nobody dared to discuss about it


    either.


    In the evening, at the Xu''s Mansion.


    Rita just lulled both her son and Beryl to bed, when David came back, exhausted and tired.


    "Do you have any information about Emily, yet?" That was the first thing Rita always asked David every


    time he came home.


    David finally showed a smile after all the sighs and the frowns she got every time she asked. "Yes, we


    finally have some clues."


    Rita was so excited that she immediately caught David''s arm. "Is that true? Where is Emily now? Is she


    alright?"


    "Don''t get too excited, yet." David was afraid that she would fall down because of the excitement, so he


    held her waist and helped her up. "We just found something, but we are not very sure of it," he


    confessed.


    "Just tell me now!" Rita got so anxious that she could not stay still.


    David walked her to the sofa and told her, "By chasing after Magee, we sort of figured out where they


    are now. They should be at a remote location, in the mist mountain outside of Jingshi City. Rivers in


    Jingshi City pass there before they run into the ocean. I guess Emily was willing to leave with Magee,


    probably to find Jacob."


    "But why?" Rita''s eyes turned wider with shock. The news was unbelievable to her. "I thought Jacob


    was already dead? If..."


    "What we saw was not necessarily true." David seemed to have aplex and heavy expression on


    his face. "But I believe in Emily. She wouldn''t do this if she knew it was hopeless or a lie."


    "That''s great, if all of it is true." Rita took a deep breath and wiped the tears around her eyes. "If Emily


    and Jacob can return safe and sound, Beryl would be thrilled."


    This whole time, Beryl was more obedient but also more silent in their house, as if she was keeping


    something in her heart. Rita had seen all of it and her heart ached for her, but there was nothing she


    could do. Although she loved Beryl with all her heart, she could neverfort little Beryl like her


    mother could.


    She was d that she had a son that was about Beryl''s age, who was naughty and outgoing, so that


    he could cheer Beryl up and talk to her.


    "So what are you still waiting for? Send people there! Quickly!"


    Rita could not wait any longer to have Emily back. If it had not been the fact that she had two children


    to look after, she wished she could set out for Emily herself at this instant.


    "It''s alreadyte in the evening. How can we look for them? We had better wait till tomorrow. I just got


    this new, and I need some time to make some ns." Under David''s eyes were dark circles, because


    of the tiring and sleepless search these days. "Remember, we must keep our news a secret. We


    cannot afford to let Jack find out about it, otherwise, they would be in danger!"


    Rita agreed with his suggestions, "You are right. We cannot let that monster find out. Or we will never


    know what kind of thing he could do!"


    They had learned enough from their previous experience that Jack and his men were capable of


    everything, and he was willing to do anything to keep Emily by his side.


    Since there was finally some major breakthroughs in searching for Emily, the depressed atmosphere


    was finally at ease and the stone in Rita and David''s heart had finally dropped down.


    It was not until this time that David had the mood to mess around with Rita. "All you care about is Emily.


    What about me? Who is your husband? Emily or me?"


    Rita kicked at his belly without mercy, "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you jealous of Emily?


    Can you two be the same? Of course not."


    "So are you saying that we do not have the same status in your heart?" David drew her close and


    hugged her tightly. The tiredness in his beautiful eyes was wiped away and reced by some kind of


    expectation.


    Rita had figured out what he was thinking about, but she was not in the mood to fulfill his wish. "Sure.


    How can you bepared with Emily? Who gave you the courage?"


    David''s face copsed all of a sudden, "Rita, do you have any conscience at all?"

    "What is conscience? At what price can it be sold?"


    "You!" David was pissed off. He jumped to his feet. He said with reluctance, "I must have been blind to


    fall in love with you! Do I not deserve to have any reward, after I have been searching for Emily all


    these days?"


    "Are you shouting at me?" Rita pushed David away and refused to look at him. "If you are reluctant,


    you don''t have to find Emily. I won''t bother you any more."


    David felt more angry with her words. He got more dissatisfied. Grief rushed over his heart like tide


    water. "You! You..."


    He could not bring himself to beat her or even scold his beloved one.


    So eventually, David made himself cry.


    "You are so horrible! I am working so hard every day to find Emily! You only ever ask for Emily when I


    get home. What about me? You never cared for me...Not even a word..."


    In the end, he choked with sobs.


    Rita was surprised to see David cry in front of her. She was lost in thoughts and did not know how to


    react. "You..."


    "What now? I don''t want to like you any more!" David turned around, heart-broken. However, he was


    secretly waiting for Rita to soothe him.


    Rita felt like David looked exactly like their son when they lost their temper. They were indeed father


    and son, and they were both childishly silly.


    Also, David was crying cause he was pissed?


    What had gotten into him?


    So Rita pretended to ignore David''s sorrow and decided to mock him, "You are a grown man. Why are


    you crying like a 3-year-old kid? You are so childish, but this is so funny to me."


    David was speechless at Rita''s reaction.


    He was sad and he couldn''t talk about it, not even cry for it!


    Rita also took a few photos of David whileughing. "Come on, little David. Look at the camera. Aunt


    Rita will take some photos of you so that you can remember your embarrassing moments."


    ''This is too much!


    I can''t stand this woman any more!'' David thought to himself.


    David stared at Rita''sughing face as he said to her, "Rita, you are going to pay for


    this!"
