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 place 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 glaring 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 relationship 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 always come 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 while later, 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..."
