Chapter 172 Saving Water

Chapter 172 Saving Water

Elma listened to Mandy and started getting even more angry at her, she clenched her teeth and furiously pointed at the wooden door of their mansion.

"Get the fuck out of my house!" Elma roared as her body started to shake a bit in anger, the image of Mandy kissing Jack, played again and again in her mind.

Mandy on the other hand was also not calm, she kicked the table in front of her, resulting in two soup bowls falling on the floor and shattering.

All the soup spilled on the floor and then Mandy turned around and left, she didn't give a second look at the place.

"Bang!" With a bang, the wooden door of the mansion closed and soon enough Mandy was nowhere to be seen.

Only after she was gone did Elma start to calm down, at first she looked at the spilled soup and gritted her teeth.

'This girl deserved to be punished.' She thought and with fast steps moved towards her room again.

She had no appetite left for the soup anymore.

It was only after getting to her room that her anger calmed down and she looked herself in the mirror.

Her eyes were puffy and as her anger dialled down, tears began falling from them, 'Why does she hurt me so much...' More and more tears began falling from her eyes.

Her posture slouched and she placed her glasses away on the mirror table.

Her body slowly moved and she slumped down on the bed, she then pulled out a photo of Jack and her together that she just clicked when Jack was with her.

She looked at his face and began Carrying even more, 'Even though he is just gone, I already miss him so much... Should I call him?' She contemplated as she kept looking at the photo.

Tears continued to fall from her eyes and after about fifteen minutes she couldn't bear the loneliness in her heart anymore and finally dialed his number.

And just as she did so she regretted the fact, 'He would think I am needy...' She wanted to cancel the call, however, her brain didn't let her do so and in the end, Jack picked up the call.

"Missing me already?" A deep voice came from the other side of the call and the tension in her heart started to drop.

"Yes, I love you," Elma said in a choked voice as she began wiping her tears.

When Jack heard her voice a frown appeared on his face. "What happened?" He asked in a worried tone.

Elma listened to his tone and didn't want to make him worried, so she moved the phone away from her and adjusted her voice, she forced a smile on her face and then moved the phone to her ear again.

"Nothing, I was just missing you, I wonder when we will meet again." She said, her voice still containing a hint of sadness as she spoke.

Jack caught the subtle shift in her voice and turned silent for a moment, then he spoke again.

"Don't worry we will meet soon, I will call you this time." He said, assuring her so she did not worry too much.

"Thanks," Elma murmured.

"Anything else?" Jack asked from the other side of the call.

"Nothing, I just wanted to listen to your voice, I will wait for your call. Sorry to disturb you." Elma started fidgeting with her fingers in nervousness.

She wanted to meet him right now, however, couldn't say so as she didn't want to take too much of his time, he was already a busy man.

And she knew that if she troubled him too much then he might start hating her.

"You can call me anytime you want," Jack said from the other side. "Love you."

"I love you too," Elma said and with a reluctant expression hung up the call. She then started to look at his photo again. "I want to see him right now." She sighed and buried her head in the pillow and one could hear her light sobs coming out of her room.

Jack on the other hand looked at the beeping phone and sighed, he knew that there was something up with Elma.

'She was definitely crying. What happened?' He sighed and placed the phone in his pocket again. n)-o//v/-e).l/-b((1.-n

Elma stayed in her room and kept sobbing for the next fifteen minutes, her chest was hurting and no matter how much she tried she couldn't stop her tears.

Images of Jack and her time spent together kept playing in her mind.

"Knock, knock..." Suddenly she heard some knocks on her door and she turned her head around to look at the door.

"Is she back? I won't forgive her easily this time." Elma stood up from her bed and wiped her tears from her wrist and then she moved towards the door with her posture slouched.

Her eyes were puffy red and so was her nose, with a weak hand she opened the door to berate Mandy again.

However, before she could say anything, her eyes landed on the person in front of her and a shocked expression appeared on her face.

Her mouth stayed open for a few seconds and then her posture turned straight again.

"Jack..." She looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes, just now she wanted to see him badly and now he was in front of her.

She felt like her wish had come true and she had never felt this happy before.

After realising how she was acting she grained her composure again and coughed a little.

"You are back?" She looked at him with a questioning look.

"I forgot something," Jack said and entered the door. He looked at her eyes and then her pale face and sighed.

"Oh, what did you forget?" Elma said and looked around the room, she didn't see anything in her room that Jack forgot.

A frown appeared on her face and she looked at him again when she saw Jack standing there in silence.

"What happened? What did you forget?" She asked again with a questioning look on her face, she was happy by the fact that she could see Jack again.

However, in the back of her head, she was still sad that Jack was only here for a thing that he had forgotten and he will return when he finds that thing.

Jack kept looking at her and when she was about to turn her head around to keep looking, he suddenly grabbed her neck and pulled her towards him.

"Ahh..." Elma grunted as she felt a pull towards Jack, her legs stumbled in his embrace and then she felt a kiss on her lips.

Her eyes widened in surprise for a few seconds and when she realised what was happening her body relaxed and tears began forming in her eyes.

A strange feeling moved through her chest and she moved even closer to him, making her kiss even more passionate as if this was the last kiss she would receive from Jack.

After some time Jack looked at her and smiled. "I forgot to kiss you," Jack said in a deep voice.

Elma listened to his words and looked into his eyes for a few seconds, mesmerised. A smile slowly formed on her face and tears began falling down from her eyes.

She moved her hands around his body and rested her head on his chest.

"Thank you so much." She murmured and buried her face in his chest.

"Can we spend some more time together?" She asked as she looked at him with a hopeful gaze.

Jack saw her tears and her puppy eyes and nodded. "We can spend as much time as you want together." He said and moved her out of her room.

"Let's go on a date." He said with his hand around her waist as he pulled her out of her room.

"Ahh. Wait." Elma looked at him with a smile, there was a slight blush on her face, and her previous sadness was nowhere to be seen.

She was feeling happiness from deep within her heart, for the past hour she had wished that she could see Jack again and now he was in front of her and she felt like her wish had come true.

"What?" Jack looked at her with his brows raised slightly.

"I need to bath first." She said as her blush got deeper. She had just cried a lot and her face was pale, although blood had returned to her body she still felt that she needed to get ready for a date.

Jack started at her for a few seconds and then a mischievous smile formed on his face.

"What a coincidence, I also want to take a bath." He said with a chuckle and then let her loose from his embrace.

Elma listened to him and looked down in shame. A deep smile emerged on her face.

"We can bath together, it will save a lot of water." She murmured.

Jack laughed at her words. "Yes, saving water is good for the environment, you are such a considerate girl."
