Chapter 178 Would Another Kiss Do (1/2)

”Jacob?” Emily tentatively called his name. She continued,”I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to look for Tina without informing you, but I only reacted to the urgency of the moment... Jacob? Jacob, why aren't you answering me?”

Displeased, Jacob gave her a cold look and made her contemplate her mistakes.

”I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay? Jacob? Mr. Gu...” she pleaded.

”You're always ready to apologise, but you're not willing to change,” he said. Jacob gritted his teeth with disappointment and said,”Do you always have to wait until it's too late for you to realize that you are wrong?”

His words disheartened Emily, but she knew he was right. Jacob's unwavering concern for her safety filled her heart with warmth and affection. She reached out to embrace him, but Jacob pushed her away. ”I know I was wrong...” assured Emily.

”Don't hug me. Go hug your parents,” replied Jacob.

However, Emily ignored him. She reached out again for his arm. This time Jacob did not push her way. ”Don't be so mad at me. Why are you jealous of my parents? They gave birth to me and raised me. I should care about them,” said Emily.

”Then, what about me?” asked Jacob.

”You are different from them,” she replied.

Jacob raised his eye-brows and looked at the little one in his arms with scepticism. He asked,”How am I different from them?”

When Emily realized that Jacob's anger was dissipating, she pouted her lips and said,”You are my one and only.”

”...” Jacob's heart started beating like a drum in his chest. ”Dong, dong, dong...” The beating was so loud and vibrant. Jacob felt like his heart was going to pop out.

Damn, how could he be softened by this woman's sweet one-liners every time?

The next second, she slipped her arms around his neck, and pressed her pink lips against his. Her kiss was soft and comforting in ways words couldn't express.
