Chapter 105: I Want Everything I Desire
Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes hurt others.
But these wrongs and this pain often heal slowly over time... There are no knots that can't be untied, only people who are unwilling to try.
Emily has always remembered this phrase vividly because it was something her German psychologist often said to her. If you're wrong, you have to pay the price for your actions.
In the case of Jason, both Emily and Jason were at fault, as were David Clark and Lisa Moore.
The four of them were like a collective whose fates were intertwined; everyone was wrong, and everyone had hurt each other. Former friends turned against each other, and former lovers broke up... But five years have passed, and time heals all wounds.
Emily has always believed in this.
Now that she has returned to her homeland, she has finally found the person she has been thinking about for five years.
It's none other than Jason!
At this moment, he is accompanied by a woman, who is wearing a light blue gauzy dress with a thin sun-protective jacket on top.
Her delicate figure appears even more petite under the dress, with small, upright breasts and an impossibly slender waist. The knee-length dress tightly wraps her plump hips, creating a beautifully curved line like a crescent moon.
Below her hips are a pair of slender and graceful calves, without a hint of excess fat, with beautiful and elegant lines.
And her face, though not delicate, is quite pleasant to look at. The woman is currently smiling and linking her arm with Jason's. Jason is also looking at the girl with a face full of indulgence. Their intimate and close behavior is just like how Emily and Jason used to be.
Five years have passed, and not only has Emily changed, but Jason has changed as well! He now wears glasses, and he is no longer as sharp-angled as before. He has become more mature and steady. He doesn't look like a boyfriend anymore; his demeanor is more like that of a husband.
Emily observed carefully and was relieved to see that there were no wedding rings on the fingers of Jason and the girl. This means... they are not married yet! This discovery made Emily's restless heart somewhat steady. At least... she still has a chance, doesn't she?
She took a gentle sip of her coffee, crossed her legs, and watched the two walk by intimately through the glass.
"I didn't expect you to come back!"
Just as Emily was lost in thought watching Jason and the woman pass by, a voice full of sarcasm rang in her ear, pulling her back to reality from a distance.
Emily turned her head and looked up and down at the person who had come over.
Five years had passed, and time had not left any marks on her face. She was still as beautiful and pure as ever. Her eyes were bright and clear, and her fair skin, whether due to makeup or natural, had no wrinkles or sagging. It was still so tender that it seemed to be dripping with water.
"Didn't you know David and I are getting married? We're already planning to take our wedding photos in Germany..."
The woman sitting opposite didn't care about Emily's gaze at all. She put her designer bag aside and slowly sat down.
"Of course I know. David is now a big streamer with millions of fans! He even has many fans watching his live streams abroad!"
Emily didn't hide her scrutinizing gaze at all. Her eyes scanned the girl sitting opposite like a scanner.
Although her appearance hadn't changed much, the five years had still affected her, at least in terms of her dressing. Lisa back then was no longer wearing a ponytail; her hair was let down, with lipstick on, looking intellectual and beautiful. Her clothing was no longer as student-like as it was five years ago.
She was wearing a pink long dress with lace on the collar, white knitted tights on the lower body, and a pair of brown high heels. Standing in front of Emily, she looked taller and more charming.
Emily sitting at the dining table was no less impressive. Although she was a few years older than Lisa and not as pure-looking, the five years had changed her a lot as well.
In Lisa's memory, Emily was good-looking, but not as eye-catching as she is now. Perhaps it was because Emily didn't know how to dress up back then, or perhaps Emily back then was just different. The Emily standing in front of her now was no longer the Emily she knew.
Today, Emily was wearing a beige dress that reached her thighs, with a thin black belt tied around the middle, and a white gauzy dress of the same length on top. At first glance, it was full of a woman's intellect and maturity.
Five years had passed, and Emily had indeed changed.
"Have a seat!"
Facing Lisa, Emily gestured for her to sit.
Lisa frowned slightly but still sat down opposite Emily in a composed manner.
"It's been five years. Why did you suddenly think of coming back? You left quietly back then, and now you're coming back quietly. Don't you think that's contradictory?"
Looking at the familiar person in front of her, Lisa had no courtesy at all. Her questions were full of suspicion and wariness.
"Rest assured!"
Emily took another sip of coffee from the table, looking elegant and dignified, completely different from five years ago.
"I'm not here to find David this time. The past mistakes are in the past. Now... I just want to get back what I've lost!"
"So you're here for Jason?"
Hearing Emily's words, Lisa looked up at her.
"Jason is still in this city. He has his own job, his own house, and his own life, which has nothing to do with us. After you left, he moved out of David's house and had no more contact with us. I heard he even has a girlfriend now, and they are getting along very well and are about to get married!"
"I know that!"
Emily took a sip of coffee and put the cup back on the table.
"That's why I'm here to see you!"
"What do you mean?"
"Jason is about to get married. And I... want to take him back from that woman. I hope you can help me!"
Emily's words made Lisa slightly stunned. Then, her gaze fell entirely on Emily's face, as if she wanted to determine whether what Emily said was true or not.
When she saw that Emily's expression didn't seem to be lying, Lisa's lips curled slightly, and she let out a cold laugh.
"It's really funny. After living in Germany for five years, have you become silly? Why should I help you?"
As soon as Lisa finished speaking, Emily took out a familiar small bottle from her bag and gently placed it on the table.
"Because of this!"
The moment the familiar white bottle was placed on the table, Lisa's cold smile disappeared immediately, and her expression became more and more serious.
"I believe you will help me!"
Emily seemed to have already taken Lisa for granted and didn't care whether she refused or not. Her slightly raised lips seemed to have already grasped all of Lisa's changes.
"During these five years in Germany, life has taught me a lesson... I will do whatever it takes to get what I want!"
