Chapter 37 Her Self-Delusion
With a harmless look on his face, Jacob snapped the man''s hand that was trying to reach over and
grab Elena again, "I wonder if you have an invitation, Sir?"
The man scowled when he saw that someone had stepped in. It was obvious that he was a cowardly
bully. He pulled out the invitation and handed it to him, "Here it is. Now get out of my way."
He hinted at Jacob that he was so drunk and dizzy that he wanted to find someone to vent his lust,
"Look. Leave us alone. I want this pretty girl just for fun."
Just for fun!? Elena had been insulted with the vilest words ever, but no one had ever spoken like that
in front of her! The way he spoke was like he was treating her like some sex toy. Such an insult caused
her face immediately turning red and her whole body shaking in anger.
Logan noticed andforted, "Let Jacob fix that. I haven’t eaten anything on the way and was hungry."
Elena''s attention was immediately drawn to him anxiously, "So you''re hungry, huh? What do you want
to eat? I''ll take you there."
Jacob heard the voices behind him fading away, narrowed his eyes, "Invitation?"
He took the invitation and nced at it, tearing it into pieces slowly and tossing it casually into the trash
can, "Now, where''s your invitation?"
"W... what?" The man blinked, unable to respond for a moment, "Didn''t you just take it? It''s in your
hands! What, you threw it away! Why did you do that?"
Still smiling, Jacob reached out and beckoned security staff, "It barged in without an invitation, didn''t
you agree that pets are not allowed inside? Did someone bring it in, or did someone forget to tie the
rope?"
"What did you say!? You called me a dog!?" The man red, his red eyes looking straight at him, "I''m
this groom''s brother-inw! How dare you!?"
The security guards looked at Jacob and then at the man. Jacob gave a frown, "What? Your hotel know
the drunk man is causing trouble and just let him do that?"
The security guards got a jolt, thinking that they would have to suffer if a big trouble was caused by
him. Then they didn''t hesitate to pull the man out, "Excuse me sir."
Jacob nodded and watched the man being thrown away, thinking what he should do next to make
Logan happire.
On the other side, Elena thoughtfully brought Logan food of all light vors from the buffet and took a
full te to him as if she was waiting for the credit, "Here you are. You''re starving, just eat."
Looking at the piled food, Logan found her funny. How much did she want him to eat?
Elena prodded, "Aren''t you hungry? Have some of this first. I had tasted all vour and they were
delicious!"
There was some gloating in her sweet voice. Logan''s eyes became soft and he naturally opened his
mouth. Elena immediately understood and cut small pieces and put it in his mouth, "Is it good?"
He nodded, "Delicious." She fed it, how could it be bad?
Elena smiled and cut another piece of bacon, "Have another bite!"
He subconsciously opened his mouth, however, the bacon took a turn and ended up in her mouth!
Staggered, Logan looked up and saw a pair of sly starry eyes suddenly.
Jeremy, the wedding protagonist of the day, had been distracted with his eyes always looking in all
directions, looking for just one figure.
The inattentiveness provoked grumble from Emma several times. But when he finally found the
woman, a heartwarming image fell into his view. So, she could be that happy too, he tried to search in
his memory, had Elena ever smiled like that to him, too?
"Jeremy ..." Emma was making a toast. But when she turned back, she saw that the man beside her
hadn''t moved and had to pulled his shirt, "This is my aunt and uncle, make a toast."
Jeremy faked a smile in a toast and drank all of it. Caroline, the maid of honor, was taken aback and
whispered, "That''s strong liquor that hasn''t been mixed with water yet!"
Before she finished her words, Jeremy had already had a few more drinks in a row. Caroline didn’t get
a chance to stop him. In just a few minutes, the bottle of strong liquor had be empty!
Jeremy stumbled and led Emma to Elena and Logan with red-eyes, not sure if it was from the drink or
something else.
"Elena, I''m married." He murmured, with great grief.
Emma had a broad smile on her face, as if she hadn''t understood his true meaning.
Elena smiled frankly, "Congrattions on your marriage and wish you to have a baby soon."
"Thanks ... thanks." Jeremy was irritated for a moment and couldn''t resist taking another swig from his
ss. The spicy wine stimted his whole body, making him more awake and more confused
somehow.
"Elena, I''m sure with your blessing, we''ll have a great time!"
Emma squeezed in the middle of the two at once with an unnatural smile, "Ah, yes, you have been
married for so long too, dad hope that you will have a baby soon!"
"... Thanks." Elena nodded, but she was timid to look at the man beside her!
Logan saw this and smiled in a good mood.
Jeremy''s heart ached even more as he watched the sweetness before him, unable to breathe.
Emma grabbed his arm and pulled him with as much strength as she could, "Jeremy, we have to make
a toast to other guests."
"Okay." Jeremy lowered his eyes, hiding the sh of pain.
...
At the wedding reception that night, Jeremy was so drunk that his feet were woozy and his head was
even more groggy, "I, I''m going to drink again!"
Emma and the best man supported him for a while before they finally pulled him onto the bed. She
smiled with apology and said, "Sorry to bother you guys."
The groomsmen, who all were Jeremy''s best friends, waved their hands and left. With a snap, the room
door was closed, Emma''s smile disappeared instantly and she pulled Jeremy, who was sleeping like a
pig, "Jeremy, get up and take a shower. You stink!"
"Mm." Jeremy frowned and looked up. He pulled Emma onto the bed and pressed her soft body
underneath.
Emma put her arms around his neck and suddenly all the annoyance she felt just now dissipated, "My
husband?" she said in a sweet voice. Finally, Jeremy was her husband now.
Jeremy reached out and touched her cheek with unending love. She closed her eyes in deep love and
waited for the moment toe.
"Elena ..."
The unprecedented tenderness kept touching her body, but right now she felt like it was cold and
freezing in winter, and she instantly stiffened, "You, what did you just say?"
"Elena, don''t go, I can''t let you go." Jeremy couldn''t even hear her, muttering in a small voice.
Panic and fear took over herpletely at once! Emma sat up in panic and cupped his face, forcing
him to look at her, "Jeremy! Look closely! I''m not Elena! It''s Emma! I''m your Emma!"
"Emma?" Jeremy restated her words, his eyes dull.

She nodded quickly, "Yeah! I''m your Emma, and I''m right here with you!"
"Emma ..."
"Yes, I''m here!"
Jeremy''s eyes instantly sharpened and he pushed her away without mercy, "What Emma! Who is she!
It''s Elena I love! I just want to be with Elena! Why? Why!!!" Why did the God punish him like that? Only
when he lost Elena did he finally realize that he had always loved Elena!
Emma felt she was struck by a thunderbolt as her eyes went red! She clung to Jeremy''s body and cried
out, "No! Jeremy, it''s Emma you love. It''s me! Not Elena!"
How could it be Elena! There were so many people in the world, why her!
"I''m in love with Emma?" Jeremy was drunk and confused.
Emma nodded heavily, spitting out word by word, "Yes, you love Emma, and only Emma!"
"I love Emma, not Elena ...Emma ..."
Emma''s tears welled up again because of excitement. In the endless dark night, she felt as cold as ice
in her heart... She knew better than anyone that she was just fooling herself ...
