Chapter 506 Why Do You Take off Your Clothes

Jacob climbed down as fast as he could, but the rope was not long enough and he was still far from
touching the cave underneath.

By the looks of it, the rope wasn't going to hold much longer either.

Jacob quickly made up his mind as he took out a dagger and cut the rope quickly.

He pulled himself close to that tree with all his strength as he finally caught a branch and jumped into
the cave!

He could hear the voice from inside the cave draw closer towards the entrance.

Jacob couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Emily. He rushed to her and embraced her in his arms.
"Emily, I've finally found you. I'm so happy that you are alive," he said.

Tears of joy burst out from Emily's eyes as she was just as happy to see him again. "Someone pushed
me down. I thought I was going to die and I was never going to see you again..." she wept.

If she hadn't landed on the tree near the cave, she would have surely died.

There was a time when Emily did not fear death, but now everything had changed after she found
Jacob. She didn't want to die, instead she wanted to live a good life with him.

"I knew you would come for me. I knew it..." Emily murmured.

"Of course I would! What else would I have to live for?" Jacob kissed away her tears and he felt so
guilty he said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I should have been there to protect you."

'If I had pushed Cherry down just now and jumped down afterwards, I would not have found her. I
would have been dead, ' Jacob thought in his mind but he didn't mention that to Emily.



Furthermore, if he had not come down, she would have had no other way but to die here alone...

Fortunately, Jacob listened to Cherry and soon he heard Emily's voice from the edge of the cliff.

Only God knew how important Emily was to Jacob!

"We will never be separated again, okay?" Emily wrapped her arms around his shoulders and gave him
a kiss.

"Yeah. We will never be separated again," he repeated. They stared at each other in an odd way, as if
communicating in silence. Jacob held her gently, cupping her face with one hand and then pulled her
into a kiss.

Their tongues entwined, until tears of joy arose, and they found themselves crying.

Jacob wanted to hold her close to his body as long as he could, but he was afraid of hurting her. He
made sure to be delicate with her and showered her with gentle kisses.

After some time, Jacob finally let go of Emily reluctantly.

He wiped her tears with his abrasive fingers and looked at her ruddy lips affectionately.

"Jacob, how do we get out of here?"

Emily leaned on Jacob's warm chest, worn out and exhausted.

Jacob kissed her forehead and comforted her in a low and soothing voice, "Don't worry. I'll figure out."

Emily felt relieved, as if someone had breathed life into her again. She smiled at Jacob and said,
"Okay, I believe you."



However, they both decided it would be best to get some rest for a while. A few hours later, after Jacob
had regained much of his strength, he began to search the cave for something he could use to get
them out of there.

Since he couldn't find anything of use, he took off his clothes.

"Why did you take off your clothes?" Emily was curious. She had not seen him like this for a long time
and her face flushed red as she felt a little awkward.

"I'm trying to make a rope," he answered briefly. Soon, Jacob was half-naked, revealing his tanned skin
with scars, old and new, a constant reminder of a hardened life.

Emily hadn't seen these scars since she took his clothes off the first time she saw him again in this
village. Jacob didn't want her to see his scars either because he didn't want to frighten her.

Once again, Emily laid eyes on the scars on his body and she couldn't help but feel sad and sorry for
him. If only she knew how much he had suffered for her since they first met each other.

'I'm so sorry, Jacob. I'm so useless. I can't even help you...' Emily blamed herself in mind.

'Thanks to Mr. Barefoot for saving your life and bringing you back to my life again.' Emily felt deep
gratitude.

Emily stared deep into Jacob's eyes, with love and passion. Jacob gave her a cheeky smile and said, "I
know I'm handsome but could you please not stare at me like that? Why do you think I took my clothes
off?"

Jacob's witty remark brought Emily back to her sense as she wiped her tears and said, "What do you
mean? How would I know why you took your clothes off? I don't know. I...I really don't..."



"Oh, really?" Jacob could not keep himself from smiling and he jested, "Then please do not peek at me
like that, Miss Emily."

He sensed what she was feeling. If Jacob could turn back time, he would rather not show her the scars
on his body because he knew that every time she saw them, she would feel sorry for him.

Emily thought that she had hidden all her sadness from him but she did not know that Jacob could see
through her clearly.

"I'm not peeking at you. I'm just looking at you, right now, right here! Do you have a problem with that?"
Emily raised her head high.

"But...I feel shy," Jacob retorted in a low voice.

"That's what I don't want to miss!" Emily laughed.

"If you keep making me feel shy, I don't know what I'll do. I can't confirm nor deny that I won't do
something naughty. Does that not worry you?" Jacob lowered his voice and spoke in a timbre of
arrogance.

It was clear to Emily that he was flirting with her. She felt the heat rise up her face. "Really? What
should I be afraid of?" she asked.

Jacob stood up and moved towards her slowly. He looked at her affectionately and said, "You might be
afraid that I would do something bad to you. I might act like an animal. Aren't you afraid of that?"

Emily's laughter suddenly echoed throughout the cave.

"So you are calling yourself an animal, right?"



"Not calling, just saying. I might 'act' like an animal." Jacob leaned in so his forehead touched hers and
then bit her lips softly. "I'm afraid...I'm afraid that if I set the animal within me free, I won't be able to
contain it anymore."

Emily finally understood what Jacob meant as she met his dark and lustful eyes, dragging her body
closer to him with an invisible force.

"Don't look at me like that." Jacob's voice became husky and he continued, "If you keep looking at me
like that, I won't be able to control myself."

"What..." Before she could finish her words, Jacob grabbed hold of her hands.

Flustered, Emily pulled her hands back quickly and said, "J...Jacob, what are you doing..."
