Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 His Protection
Emily hadn't seen Jackson for almost a week.

The last time at the city hall, if it weren't for him, Nathan would have forced her. No matter how bad Jackson's attitude was, Emily remembered his favor.

"Um..." Emily asked awkwardly, "What's bothering you?"

"My heart."

"...Heart disease?"

Jackson was furious. "No heart disease. My body is as strong as a bull, my heart is perfectly fine!"

Emily took a step back, avoiding his anger.

"If it's not a heart problem, then what is it?"

"I just can't figure it out," Jackson stood with his hands on his hips, looking down at her, "You're pretty, but there are many pretty women out there, and you have a bad temper, not to mention you're dumb. I just don't understand why I feel uneasy when I haven't seen you for a few days?"

Emily was stunned. "Huh?"

"What's with the 'huh'? Are you pretending to be stupid again?" Jackson glared at her angrily. "I asked my brother, and he said that he and you are not in a relationship. He may be a bit uptight, but he never lies, so I believe him. Since you and my brother have no relationship, where did he take you from my car that day? And what did you do afterward?"

Emily took a deep breath and frowned. "Is that what he said? We're not in a relationship?"

"Yeah, do you have any other relationship with him?"

Emily denied repeatedly, "No, no, whatever he says is what it is, I'll take his word for it."

Jackson's expression softened a bit. "I was actually planning to look for you. I've thought it over this week. If you're my brother's woman, I'll back off, but if you're not, I won't let you go."

Emily sensed his implication and wanted to explain, "Boss, let me explain, I actually..."

"Okay, I know what you're going to say," he interrupted. "You're married, right? You have someone you want to spend your life with? I've thought about it, and none of that matters. I don't mind at all. I'm completely fine with it. As for the person you like now, I'm wealthy and good-looking. Besides my brother, I'm confident I can win you over. You might reject me now because of him, but it's okay. I'll let you know that I'll be your best choice."

His passionate speech might have moved an ordinary girl, but Emily found it troublesome.

She could tell that Jackson respected Allen Parker a lot, but she couldn't reveal the truth to him. Mr. Satan didn't want his identity exposed, and she couldn't interfere with his plans.

It was awkward.

"Boss, have you ever considered your future life? Like how many children you'll have?"

Jackson was puzzled by her question. "Why? I don't care; I can afford to have as many children as I want."

Finally finding a way out, Emily said, "I have infertility."

Jackson was taken aback. "..."

"I was diagnosed in this hospital. I have a diagnosis certificate from the doctor. Do you want to see it?"
