Chapter 341 - Absurdity

Although Jaquan didn't know what was happening, he still followed her.

Randy muttered as he ate the drumstick, "Are they going to be reconciled and become friends again?"

He found it hard to understand, so he didn't care about them much and kept eating the food on the plate. Lord Top was also quietly having her meal on the side. The team members quieted down and were having theirs at ease.

Lord Top was full, so she sat down on her chair and swiped her phone.

"Don't check your cell phone during mealtime." Randy said vaguely as he was eating the drumstick.

"Okay!" said Lord Top. She wore her earphones and played the music. Then, she closed her eyes and bent over the table.

"There's a tent over there. Have a rest in it." Randy knocked on the table.

"Okay!" Lord Top stood up and left.

Randy looked at Lord Top's back and thought to himself, 'Lord Top is so cute when he is stable.'

Randy was shocked. His face twisted. 'Is Lord Top cute? God! What am I thinking about?

This bastard once fought with me just because I touched his keyboard!'

Randy bit off a piece of meat hatefully. Actually, Lord Top still had many advantages, though he was a little picky. In Randy's eyes, Lord Top was a good member. If he practiced more, he might become the best one day.

Arabella walked to a tree, and Jaquan followed her unhurriedly. When Jaquan was beside her, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"You..." Arabella looked at him and found it hard to ask a question.

Jaquan misunderstood and he thought that it embarrassed her to see each other after they broke up. "You don't want to see me, right?"

Arabella frowned, "No."

No?

But it could tell from her expression that she was lying.

Jaquan changed the topic, "How have you been lately?"

"Just fine." Arabella turned back and looked at the tree in front of her. There were many trees around, lush and vigorous. The trees were towering, under which people appeared so tiny and powerless.

"Jaquan." Arabella called him. "Do you like Emma?" She asked with uncertainty, hesitation, disbelief, and a sense of absurdity.

But Jaquan just kept silent.

She turned around instantly and saw Jaquan. He was pursing his lips and didn't know how to answer.

Obviously, Arabella knew the answer from his expression.

She was furious. "Are you crazy? Emma was married! She has a child!"

"I know." Jaquan pressed his eyebrows. "I'm not going to tell her or do anything. I just..." He didn't know what he was going to say.

'Maybe I'm satisfied with the current situation.'

It was impossible, but he didn't know what else he could do. He promised his mother that he wouldn't find Emma.

However, he took the advantage of what his mother said. Felice only said that he could not find Emma, but that did not mean that they could not meet each other by chance.

He couldn't know what would happen in the future.

Perhaps it was just a whim for him, or perhaps he would be fond of Emma and keep thinking of her. Not until he met the right woman and got married would he forget her gradually.

Perhaps it wouldn't happen. Nothing would happen. He would remain single, and she would bring up her child.

'This is the best for me!' he thought.

"Why do you like her?" Arabella's eyes turned red. "Why? Did you break up with me because of her?"

Jaquan raised his hands and said, "Wait a moment. Arabella, it was you who broke up with me."

"It's because of her that you lose your mind, isn't it?" Arabella hit the nail on the head.

Jaquan was silent.

Arabella hated him being indifferent now. "Jaquan, I hate you! I hate you!" She smacked his shoulder, but felt that it wasn't enough, so she fiercely slapped him in the face. "How can you do this to me? I hate you! Why do you like her...?"

"Did I do anything wrong... Why would you fall in love with a single mother rather than me?" She cried as she slid down and sat on the ground.

Jaquan helped her up.

"I hate you. Don't touch me! How can you do this to me...?" Arabella pushed him hard. She covered her eyes and tears flowed out through her fingers.

"It's my fault. I'm so sorry." Jaquan whispered, "But Arabella, I liked you, and wanted to marry you."

"I don't want to hear it! Go away! Go away!" Arabella shouted hoarsely.

Jaquan had no choice but to let go of her and walk back. "Alright, I will leave now. You can come out when you calm down."

Arabella ignored him. She cried for a long time and wiped her tears with a tissue. Hearing footsteps coming from behind, she sniffed and said, "Go away!"

When she turned back, she saw three strange men. She was so frightened that she dragged herself back. However, sitting on the ground, she had no time to get up. Seeing the three men reaching for her quickly, she only let out a short scream.

Jaquan wasn't far from Arabella, about fifty meters away. He had his back to Arabella. He was looking at Emma and Stony who were in front of him. They had finished eating and were cleaning up the mess left behind. No matter what they did, they would do carefully and quietly. They were neither arrogant nor impetuous.

From afar, Emma seemed to look up in the direction where Jaquan was. Jaquan didn't know if she saw him and waved his arm at her.

However, Emma turned her head. She probably didn't see him.

When he turned back, Arabella was nowhere to be found. He panicked and went to look for her. He shouted, "Arabella! Arabella!"

However, no one answered.

Not far away, Ferne and Noah heard the shout. They rushed over and asked, "What happened?"

They were also in the forest. Just now, Ferne and Noah had a fight. When Ferne was thrown to the ground, he seemed to have seen a few figures running past. He even told Noah but Noah did not believe him and thought that it was Ferne's trick, so he pressed Ferne to the ground and beat him up again.

"Arabella is missing. She was here just now." Jaquan pointed at the ground beneath.

"After what happened last time, she didn't dare to rush into the forest again, so I don't think she will run around alone."

"What do you mean?" Noah knitted his eyebrows and looked at him, "Did someone take her away?"

Ferne's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be...?"

Although he didn't say it, Noah knew what he wanted to say.

"Go and ask everyone to look for her. Leave a few people here." Noah turned to look at Jaquan and said, "You and Emma stay here."

If it was the group of people from the GY Temple who came to seek revenge, then they wouldn't go easy on Emma.

"Mr. Jaquan!" Stony cried not far away. He rushed up to Jaquan and gasped, "Arabella has been taken away. Mom has chased after them!"

"What?" The three of them were shocked.

As Jaquan ran back, he anxiously asked, "What happened? How did she meet them? Where did she meet them?"

Stony also ran along and pointed in a direction. "Mom saw them when she put the trash in the car, and then she chased after them."

Jaquan ran at full speed in the direction pointed by Stony.

There was no one else in the dining area except two members. Others were probably looking for Arabella.

Jaquan felt it was dangerous to leave Stony alone. He held Stony in his arms and ran forward. He recalled what happened last time in the GY Temple. Emma was as reckless as she was in the temple. Couldn't she think about her child?

However, if Arabella was in trouble, he would risk his life to save her as well.

Ferne exchanged a glance with Noah and was sure that the other party came for Arabella and Emma. They were most likely the people from the GY Temple who came to take revenge.

"They took Arabella away on purpose and wanted Emma to see it, because Emma did the same thing last time." Ferne gritted his teeth.

Jaquan paused when he heard this. "What do you mean? Do you know who they are? What do you mean by last time?" He was stunned for a moment before he realized that it referred to the time when they were in the temple.

Were they that group of people from the temple?

"Jaquan, hurry up. Since they want to take revenge, they will definitely torture Arabella and Emma. You know what the greatest pain is for women." Ferne couldn't put it too bluntly. He was numb since he had seen such cases many times during those years in the police station, but now as the victim was Arabella, he was somewhat painful.

Jaquan gave Stony to Ferne. Then, he ran into the forest desperately. He saw Emily and Vincent. He saw Harold and Rex. He saw Randy and his team members, as well as Armando and Janessa. They stood apart and shouted while looking for Arabella, in order to threaten the group of bad guys with their voices. They hoped that it would keep Arabella safe for a short time.

Jaquan ran along the way. After a long time, when he was completely out of breath, he found Arabella. Her jacket was taken off and her hair was messy. She was covered with dirt, and palm prints could be seen on her face. She walked forward trembling, hugged her shoulders, and shrunk her head in fear.

Jaquan rushed to her and grabbed her hand. "Arabella, why are you here? Where's Emma? Do you see her?" he asked.

Arabella trembled all over and sobbed, "She..."

"Where is she? Where is Emma?" He roared hoarsely, "Tell me!"

Arabella pointed at the back.

Jaquan immediately ran in that direction. He kept praying in his heart, 'Emma, don't worry! I'm coming. You will be fine! Wait for me!'

When he got there and saw the scene, his eyes turned red.
