"I can't take the risk, not at all..." Era shook her head and misted her beautiful eyes. She suddenly said
in a sad and low voice, "Mr. Lin, do you know how miserable it is to live alone in this world..."
Hearing this, Jay's black eyes flashed a trace of excitement. How could he not know the misery of living
alone and helpless in the world. He had been wandering alone until he was 15 years old...
The secret he had hidden for a long time was now triggered. He misunderstood her!
He couldn't help having more compassion for Era, which reminded him of his little sister who had been
missing since childhood. At that time, she was only three years old, and now she was almost the same
as Era. She should have become a beautiful girl.
Well, he sighed. In fact, he had a special feeling for her when he first saw her. She was more like a
lovely little sister than a woman. "If... If you call me brother, I might really forget that you are pregnant."
"Brother..." Era was so smart that she could open her mouth as soon as he finished his words.
"Hehe, get up. It's cold on the ground. You are pregnant now. You should take care of yourself. You
haven't had dinner yet. I'll have someone prepare the dinner and you must eat more."
"Thank you, brother." Era nodded. Jay's tone was gentle with the warmth of the family. Unconsciously,
her cold heart seemed to be filled with a warm current...
The moonlight quietly poured like the flowing water with the deep starry stars on the surface of the
swimming pool. The blue waves reflected clear ripples.
By the side of the huge pool, Jacob sipped the wine and lazily leaned his strong body against the back
of the chair. There was no warmth in his dark eyes.
Jay slowly approached and sat in a rocking chair beside him, looking at the starry sky.
"She has had dinner and went to bed."
Without uttering any words, Jacob just glanced at him coldly. His slender fingers shook the crystal cup.
The red wine in the glass was as red as the blood of a woman.
"She reminded me of my long lost sister, and I couldn't help but adopt her as my sworn sister."
Jacob stared at Jay with his sharp eyes, and his body was shrouded in chilling coldness.
Jay continued as if he didn't feel it. "So, be nice to her from now on. She is poor, lonely and helpless..."
All of a sudden, Jacob narrowed his eyes and drank up the wine in his glass. Then he waved his hand,
raised the goblet and drank up the wine in it——
Slap! The crystal clear glass was smashed into pieces by a powerful force. Her silvery and sharp voice
echoed around the swimming pool.
"Jay, you really can't change your tender nature for women." He gets angry at the thought of her
around Jay, Jacob said in a mean tone.
That woman was not simple. She just disobeyed him again and again, and she turned around and
called Jay brother.
Did she think that Jay could be her shield? Hum, she was so naive!
A lump came into his throat. He glared at his friend angrily, the ferocity and eagerness in his eyes
seemed to kill him at once.
"I have no choice..." However, Jay didn't care about it at all. He sighed, "I can't watch a flower in bud
wither like this."
"What do you mean? Say it clearly." Jacob was still wearing a gloomy face.
"She told me that she didn't want to live anymore. She was alone and helpless. She would be bullied
by others. She was so pathetic. So I agreed to let her be my sworn sister..."
She didn't want to live anymore! Jacob's heart missed a beat. Before Jay could finish his words, he
stood up and turned around to leave!
It was so quiet in the room that he could even hear a faint breath of air. Since Jacob came back from
the swimming pool, he had been staying there.
He bent over and gazed at the sleeping Era. It was the first time that he had looked at her so carefully.
She had a pure and innocent face. The fan-shaped eyelashes were close to her eyes, her delicate
nose, her fragrant cheeks were somewhat annoying, her delicate cherry lips, the delicate oval face was
as smooth as jade, and her skin was as cold as snow...
His black eyes flashed with pity that he didn't notice. Then he lowered his head and lightly fell on her
dry lips.
It was the first time that he had been so angry and out of control tonight. He had been able to control
his emotions well since he was a child. But this woman always had ways to make him out of control
and broke his rules again and again.
Just because she disobeyed him?
Or because of her eyes which preferred death to grievance?
Or was she unfriendly to him?
Until now, he really couldn't understand his mood. A woman should not have let him waste his time like
this. But he just couldn't help thinking about it.
He couldn't sort out his feelings and he even didn't want to deal with the mess anymore. After he saw
her long eyelashes tremble, he straightened up and leaned against the bedside.
Era didn't sleep well. She felt something was touching her lips and opened her eyes immediately.
Then she saw his black eyes, which were full of unknown thoughts, fixed on her. It reminded her of
what happened tonight. She covered her lower abdomen subconsciously, quickly shrank in the corner
of the bed and stared at him with wide eyes alertly. Did Jay regret and tell him about her pregnancy?
There was a touch of apology in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. However, he was a little unhappy
because of her dodge.
She was his woman. How could she be so afraid of him?
"Come here!" His heart ached for her. He reached out and tried to hug her, but he saw that she shrank
back in fear, and he paused in the air.
"I won't hurt you again. Come here."
Her distrust made his heart ache. The emotion from his dark eyes was well known as something that
he had never experienced before. And it began to spread.
There was regret, pain and guilt in his eyes, but Era could only see the cold-blooded black eyes in the
swimming pool.
"Era?" Seeing that she was still staring at him with a frightened look on her face, Jacob stared blankly
and mumbled her name, but he didn't reduce her resistance to him.
Jacob clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Finally, he loosened his grip and rushed out of the bed.
Early in the morning, the first ray of sunshine shone into the room and Era got up.
In the bathroom, there was no need to cover the body of the woman who had just taken a bath.
Standing in front of the mirror, Era looked at the pale and haggard woman in the mirror, and slightly
raised the corner of her lips.
She smiled even more happily, with her hands on her flat lower abdomen. Now she was not alone, so
she had to cherish her life. She wanted to live on and live a good life! From now on, she would be a
new and optimistic Era!
After breakfast, Era decided to go to Elton. After all, her case needed more time to be investigated. She
couldn't wait any longer.
She refused Jay's offer of driving her home.
She would become a mother and be more independent. However, it was out of her expectation that she
became the common enemy of everyone in Elton in just one day.
"Liar and shameless! How dare you come back!"
"You're not Elton's pride, you're disgrace!"
"Yes, get out of Elton! Get out of Elton!"
As soon as Era entered the gate of the school, their eyes were filled with disdain and their voice full of
sarcasm...
No wonder when she went out, Jay stared at her strangely and asked, "are you sure you want to go to
school on your own? You are still very weak. I think you'd better stay at home to have a rest."
He is a good man. He must have guessed what she would suffer if the news of her engagement got
out. And that was why he tried to stop her. In contrast to his kindness, Jacob was still as cold as ice. He
didn't even look at her at breakfast.
This was also the reason why she insisted on coming to Elton. Since he didn't want to see her, she
would stay far away from him and let him have a good time!
However, she didn't expect that her classmates would treat her in this way——so many people didn't
believe her and even took pleasure in her misfortune.
When Era was in a daze, a thin figure ran over to her. It was Allie. She stood in front of Era and said,
"don't talk nonsense. Angie is not the kind of person you're talking about!" But her voice trailed off in
the uproar.
Rotten vegetables and eggs flew over. She turned around and hugged Era, crying.
"It's okay, Allie. You can go to class now." Era pushed her away. She appreciated her kindness, but she
didn't want to get her into trouble.
"No, Angie. I will accompany you." Cowardly and scared, she was in a total mess on the third day of
new school, teased by several boys.
Everyone was laughing at and cheering at her. But only Angie came over, pulled out a handkerchief
and wiped the stains off her face. She was told that in this world, if you were not brave and strong
enough, no one would take the initiative to pity you. You could only make yourself a laughing stock of
others...
