Chapter 93 I Dont Love You Any More (1/2)

Jacob was just lying in bed next to Emily, doing nothing. The awkward silence filled the space between them.

”Are you still awake?” he whispered.

”Yeah...” Emily opened her mouth for a second, and then fell silent again.

Jacob had sensed that Emily was itching to say something to him, but he had no intentions of forcing her. After a while, he leaned his head closer to Emily's belly, put his ear against it and asked softly,”Are you awake too, my little darlin'?”

Nonplussed for a moment, Emily could not hide her amusement,”What makes you think that the baby will understand your question?”

”I just know it,” Jacob chuckled, and then he continued in a confident manner,”Hey, my little baby. Why are you so upset today? Tell me.”

'He was more like a baby, ' Emily thought, amused by his childish nature. ”Upset? How did you know...”

She suddenly paused, when she thought of the fact that Jacob was actually talking to her.

'Did he ask if I am upset?' Emily wondered.

Anyway, she shouldn't be surprised if Jacob found out that there was something wrong with her, because she was not good at concealing her emotions. Meanwhile, Emily did not know whether she should tell him about her problems or not.

”My little baby has something important on its mind, I guess?” It looked like Jacob was talking to the baby in Emily's belly, with a tender and loving tone, but Emily knew that he was actually asking her,”Would you like me to kiss you and hold you in my arms?”

”Please don't do that,” Emily muttered in a low voice. Since she did have something weighting on her mind, she was not in the mood for jokes,”I am tired. Good night.”

With a clear look of disappointment in his eyes, Jacob's smile turned upside down.

'Why won't she share her secrets with me?'

The next day, Emily spent the whole morning in torment, sitting in her office trying to ease her worries. When suddenly the phone rang.

”Well. Emily, have your prepared your answer?” From the other end of the line, Jack's smug and ambitious voice came in and doubled her worries.
