Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 17 Penelope felt as if she was being suffocated in Jacob's embrace. She tried hard to push him away. Overwhelmed by the man's passionate kisses, she felt angry and embarrassed. She shoved him away forcefully and yelled, "You have no right to do this to me! Let me go!" In an instant , Jacob pounced on her like a tiger. His arms trembled as he held her face in his hands and examined her carefully. It was as if he wanted to carve her appearance deep into his memory.

As he looked at her, with his lips trembling violently and unable to say a word, he suddenly lifted her hand and slapped himself with it. Penelope was stunned, and in that moment, he grabbed her hand and slapped himself with it again. He sounded as excited as if he had won the lottery when he said, "The slaps hurt quite a lot! I'm not dreaming! My Penny is finally back! She's back!" He continued to repeat these words in a murmur as tears welled up in his eyes.

"You've lost so much weight that your jawline has become sharp. You must have suffered a lot in the past four years, right? "I'm sorry, Penny. I did many things that hurt you in ---- the past, and I really regret them. Please give me another chance, alright?" He took out a document from his pocket and declared with reddened eyes, "I divorced Rebecca after you left. From now on, you'll be the only Mrs. Thornton!" "Your affairs have nothing to do with me.

I'm living quite a good life," Penelope interjected with a displeased frown. "The Penelope Hall who loved you is long dead, and the one who lives on is Tracy. Let go of me. I want to go home!" Jacob picked her up in an instant. "I know you're still mad at me. I'll be sure to make it up to you. In the future, I'll never make you cry again!" She struggled desperately but was unable to get free. Just as she was panicking , Trevor hurried over with some men on his heels. "Please let go of Ms.

Sale, Mr. Thornton, and refrain from restricting her freedom." Jacob snorted. His face was livid with rage. "Don't even dream of taking her away and imprisoning her again with me around! Men, clear mea path!" The two groups of people started fighting each other. In the end, Trevor managed to get Penelope into the car. Jacob, who was isolated by the crowd of people, looked at her with reddened eyes and yelled, "Don't ---- be afraid, Penny!

I'll think of a way to get my stepfather to let you go, so just wait for me!" She rolled down the window and said calmly, "Your stepfather did not lock me up. I'm voluntarily staying with him." Jacob was dumbfounded . His face scrunched up, and he struggled to form a coherent sentence. "What? Y- You... and him... The two of you-" "That's right. It's exactly as you think," Penelope said coldly. "I'm the girlfriend he plans to marry. Your future stepmother.

From now on, we'll go our separate ways and will no longer have anything to do with each other!" Jacob's eyes were red with anger. He fell to the ground with his hands over his chest. "That's impossible ! I don't believe it!" Penelope did not spare him another glance and simply rolled up the car window. "Start the car!" She had stopped loving Jacob long ago, so whether he was happy or in pain, his emotions would no longer affect her.

Jacob was so angry to hear that Penelope and Peter were ina relationship that he suffered a heart attack and had to be rushed to the ER, after which he was transferred to the ICU. ---- She did not visit him. The next day, just as she was about to lie down to rest, her bedroom window was opened from the outside , and a large shadow leaped in through the window. Jacob steadily approached her and pressed her up against the wall. "I know you're still angry with me, Penny.

That's why you're deliberately using my stepfather to provoke me. I understand , and I don't blame you for it. "Come on! Come home with me!"
