Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 19 As Jacob left, with one of his hands pressed over his aching side, he called back in a firm and confident tone, "You're saying all those things out of anger, Penny. I don't believe a word of it! After loving me for eight years, there's no way you'd so easily let go of it! "One day, I'll coax you out of your anger and bring you home!" Penelope ignored him. She helped Peter onto the couch and treated his wounds for him. "Your waist is badly bruised," she said seriously.

"Let me help you with your baths for the next few days." Jacob's furious voice carried through the window." You're not allowed to help him bathe! You'd better not test the limits of my tolerance , Penelope Hall, or I'm not going to let you off!" In response, Peter circled his arms possessively around Penelope's waist and looked challengingly at him through the window. "Do you still not understand the situation , Jake? She couldn't even be bothered to glance at you even though you were injured.

Instead, she was only worried about me. "You know better than anyone else what that means. Stop making pointless attempts to redeem yourself ---- and accept reality." When Jacob looked at Penelope obediently nestled within Peter's embrace, he could not help but feel as if his heart was being sliced to pieces. Suppressing his anger and disappointment , he asked hoarsely, "You're just a tool she's using to get back at me, so what's there for you to be smug about?

In the end, I'm the only one she loves!" Peter smiled faintly. "Will you sing a lullaby to put me to sleep tonight, Penny?" "Sure," Penelope replied without hesitation. Jacob , who had been chased out of the villa, roared like a wounded lion, "You're not allowed to sing him a lullaby , Penny! You gave me that lullaby as a gift for my 18th birthday, so it belongs only to me! Please don't sing any songs for him! "Don't do this to me! I can't take it!

I'll buy you the best seaside villa available, and I'll have the most extravagant dress custom-made for you! I can do anything for you, so just please don't sing for him!" No matter how much he screamed and cried, he could not stop Penelope's gentle singing from starting up. Her voice was like a sharp blade piercing his heart. He clutched at his heart and collapsed onto the ground.

Ascene of him lying on a bed in a mental hospital ---- while Penelope sang to him by his bedside flashed through his mind. Her cold, slender fingers stroked his hair gently, and she hummed a soft melody. "Sleep, Jacob. I'll always be by your side." "Will you stay with me forever?" "Yes," "Will you only sing for me?" "Yes" "Will you really never leave me?" "T won't," she said firmly.

"Even if the Grim Reaper takes me from your side one day, I'll simply continue to remain by your side as a ghost." Her familiar singing voice drifted through the air. However , she was now singing for another man and not for him. Jacob covered his face and sobbed bitterly. He felt so regretful that he wanted nothing more than to kill his past self. He should not have gotten back together with Rebecca out of his damn desire to come out on top.

Moreover, he should not have deceived Penelope with a fake marriage certificate and thus broken her heart. ---- Did he still have a chance to make amends? Was there still hope for a day when she would be willing to sing him a lullaby again? In an instant, his eyes took on a hysterical look. " Penny's a really soft-hearted person. As long as I'm willing to put in the effort, she'll definitely forgive me! "
