"Since you know that I don't like Kobi, then why are you still jealous?"
Ariah held on to Emily's hand and continued, "Emily, I know that you're not a narrow- minded person. You don't think that I have something to do with him just because I've known him before, do you?"
If that was the case, then Ariah was truly being wronged.
"Of course not!" Biting her lips, Emily shook off her hand and snapped, "I know that you're not interested in him, but he is!"
Instantly, Ariah's heart skipped a beat. Now, she finally knew why Emily was angry.
Emily must have suspected that Kobi was interested in her.
With that, of course, she would get angry because she loved Kobi too much.
Upon realizing that, Ariah did not mind Emily snapping at her.
She pursed her lips and said, "Emily, Kobi loves you. You must have misunderstood something..."
"I misunderstood something?"
Immediately, Emily cut her off. "No, I heard it myself."
"He... told you that?" With a frown, she asked.
"Tsk, I wish." Emily smiled bitterly.
To be frank, she would rather Kobi make it clear to her than having to hear it through eavesdropping. It was just unbearable.
"I overheard his conversation with his father. He confessed that he... likes you."
With some difficulty, Emily said that, and her eyes turned red. "Ariah, what should I do?"
Ariah didn't expect that she would suddenly cry and was at a loss. "Do you want me to question him?"
"Nah." Emily shook her head. "If he doesn't love me, then I won't marry him. I'll just go home after some time."
Although she loved Kobi, she still had pride.
She would not marry him shamelessly.
Hearing that, Ariah had nothing to say. If Kobi was indeed unfaithful to Emily, then she would definitely stand on Emily's side.
She believed Emily could still live a happy life, even without Kobi.
However, she didn't expect that Kobi would actually like her...
And he even said those things to Mack. How was she going to face Mack later?
Ariah was in a dilemma.
Besides, she didn't understand why Kobi would fall in love with her now, instead of back then when she shamelessly pursued him? Why now?
"Ariah."
Abruptly, Emily called out to her.
Ariah came back to her senses and asked, "Yes?"
"There's something that I need your help."
"What is it?"
"I wanna go home now, but Kobi won't let me go. He has my passport and I don't know where he keeps it." Emily bit her lip. "I don't wanna stay here anymore. I wanna move out."
"Wait, what? He keeps your passport?"
Now, Ariah was truly furious. "How could he do that?"
Unbelievable! Only a despicable man would do such a thing!
Despite being heartbroken, Emily still couldn't help speaking up for Kobi, "Well, he'll be awkward if I leave suddenly, and his family will definitely question him. So I understand that...."
"No, you don't!"
