A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Magee knew she was just being curious, so he blurted out, "Since you two are so mushy, you are making me feel lonely. It isn't easy to find a girl in the jungle. It was a mutually beneficial arrangement, even though I don't really like her."

Emily pulled a face in disgust, "You are such a jerk, as usual."

"I'm flattered." Magee said insouciantly, "In a way, I have avenged you, you know. Now, how about serving me a cup of tea?"

Daintily she poured a cup of aromatic tea for him, "What do you mean?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

Running his fingers along the rough cup's pitted surface, he replied, "Don't you see? Whether Rose or Cherry, they both bore a grudge against you. But both of them loved me, and I dumped them. It broke their hearts. So, now they suffer for their deeds."

"That's a horse of a different color. You are a jerk by nature. Don't justify your love affairs with my suffering." Though she couldn't condone his deeds, she never felt any sympathy for women dumped by Magee, including Rose and Cherry.

In any case, it was their choice, so they must each bear the consequences.

In a way, she believed that they asked for it.

"I'm surprised that you still remember Rose," Emily said sarcastically, "I thought you'd forgotten her."

No one could be as cruel as Magee.

When he was interested in someone, he was willing to do anything to please her. But when his love faded, he would ruthlessly turn his back on them. His was a fragile and worthless love.

That was the reason why Emily had refused Magee. He was incapable of loving anyone except himself, to her that made him scum.

She would not choose him, even if she had never met Jacob.
