Chapter 42
‘He loves me? Is it true?’ Emerald asked herself. She was working in her office in ACEGame, but she couldn’t concentrate because of what had happened to her and Jace. She’s not denying that she likes it and admits that she still loves her husband. The way young Higginson confessed his love to her changed something in her. ‘No! I shouldn’t forgive him just like that. He had to suffer the way I did. Emerald, don’t let your feelings for him get the better of you. You should make it difficult for him to appreciate you more.’ Young Morgan thought before she shook her head and tried to focus on work.
As soon as she started working, all her attention was on her computer. Although she was in ACEGame, she looked at the ACE Family Grocers sales report, formerly Morgan’s Grocer. Elise successfully changed the store name, but Emerson was unhappy.
Seeing how their sales changed, Emerald was very happy. She knew they could increase their sales, especially when she got good suppliers. She started planning future upgrades for the store and was determined to make that happen.
‘Although it was still early to think about it, I knew this would materialize.’ Emerald thought. She also checks their database to see if something is happening to prevent future problems. She was busier than before, but she didn’t care as long as she could show her family that she was not a jinx, as they made her believe.
Liam: Hi, M.
A chat from her friend popped on her screen, to which she replied immediately.
Emerald: Yes, Liam? How are you? Do you have news about my nanny?
Liam: I’m fine, M. And yes, I have news for you, but I will tell you personally.
Emerald: You’re coming back here?
Liam: Yes. I need to meet a friend to confirm.
Emerald: When are you coming back? Doesn’t my problem cause you delays with your work?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Liam: Not at all, M. You know that I didn’t think that way. And you’re not making any delays with my work. What can you do? I’m just good with my stuff.
Emerald: When are you coming back?
Liam: Next week. Would that be okay?
Emerald: Of course! See you then.
Liam: See you.
Their chat ended, and Emerald was back in her deep thoughts. She started to worry about her nanny, Lucy, again, and her eagerness to find her became stronger. Young Morgan temporarily forgot what happened to her and Jace while thinking about the possible cause of her nanny’s disappearance. She couldn’t fully understand why anyone would take Lucy when she was ordinary. Even though she found out that her nanny came from a rich family, no one knew about it, so she can’t connect Lucy’s disappearance for the second time, especially when the man who took Lucy said that he thought Merly had nothing to do with what happened because he still collects money from her mother by blackmailing.
Emerald promises herself that she will do everything to find her nanny because, to her, she’s the only family who gives her unconditional love. She wants to return to her the love and care Lucy had given her during those times when young Morgan’s family had been treating her badly.
It was the weekend, and Jace went to Emerald’s mansion to get Ace and bring the boy to the Higginson mansion. Young Morgan is busy on her laptop in her room when her husband knocks and gets in. “Are you not going out to send us off?” Young Morgan looks at young Higginson and returns her eyes to her laptop. “What’s keeping you busy?” He asked again, walking closer to her before looking at whatever she was doing.
“You’re not allowed to look at my work,” Emerald said before she closed her laptop. “What is it that you want?”
“Ace and I are leaving,” Jace replied. After what happened to them that night and the morning after, young Morgan’s attitude didn’t change. She was still hostile to him and only talked if it was about work-related topics.
Emerald got up from her bed and started walking to the door. But when she noticed Jace wasn’t moving, she stopped and looked at him. “What are you waiting for? I am not going to leave you here.” Then young Higginson started walking, but when he was in front of her, he stopped before pulling her closer and kissing her.
Just like before, Emerald responded wantonly. She has no power over Jace, who has the power to weaken her knees by just looking at her. She wanted more than just kissing, and young Higginson knew that. Her panties were soaking wet when he inserted his hand inside after he lifted her dress.
“You’re wet for me, dear wife,” Jace said, making Emerald swallow hard because she didn’t want Jace to know that, but she had no way to hide it either. Then she heard him unbuckling his belt and the sound of his zipper being pulled down before he carried and pinned her behind the closed door. Young Morgan wrapped her legs around her husband’s waist, pulling him closer so she would be able to feel his hardness. “I want you now, dear wife. Tell me you want me too.” Jace commanded, and Emerald was like a kitten who did as she was told.
“I want you too, Jace. Fuck me already.” Then, without warning, after Jace slid her panties to the side, he roughly thrust himself before pounding on her faster and deeper the way young Morgan wanted it.
“Ahhh.. Emerald.. Fuuuuck… You fucking feel so good.” Jace screamed.
“I’m going to cum, Jace.. Faster.. Please…” Emerald screamed as well, making young Higginson continuously thrust in her core until they both cummed.
Jace realized that Emerald wanted him the way he wanted her, and he was glad it was the case. He thought that they would be able to get back together as long as young Morgan felt the same way as he did.
Emerald looks at Jace in the eyes, and it mirrors her desire. “I love you, dear wife, and fuck, I can’t get enough of you. You’re the only woman that could make me feel this wanton. I want to make love to you every time we’re together.” Jace said and kissed her again. Although he wanted Emerald to say the same thing or tell him she loves him too. Jace also knew that he had to be patient and give her time. He knew that what he had done was unforgivable, so he wanted to show his wife that he was willing to wait for her until she fully accepted him in her life.
‘For now, I’ll be content with what you can give me. If it’s just sex without your heart, I am going to do everything to win your heart and love back so we would be making love instead of having plain sex.’ he thought.
