Chapter 279 Shell Find Out Sooner or Later (1/2)

The atmosphere in the room was friendly and pleasant. But not for Jennifer. She had been throwing disgusted glances at the couple in front of her.

After the meal, Jacob paid for the bill. ”It was great meeting you both!” Emily smiled, shaking hands with them. Finally, Jacob wrapped an arm around her waist and led her away from them.

Jennifer wanted to go after them but Magee grabbed her shoulder, stopping her tracks.

”Do you really have to embarrass yourself like that?” His eyes were full of concern for Jennifer.

Jennifer got shrugged off his hand and spoke in annoyance, ”Aw, shut up! Have you ever understood how I feel?”

Magee sighed deeply in defeat. He couldn't say anything to comfort her.

The rain was pouring down hard while they had dinner. The couple wondered why the rain stopped the moment they went out of the restaurant. The smell of rain was still fresh in their noses.

Unfortunately, there was a flood which reached until the ankles.

Emily wondered how she would be able to walk through the water. She might be sick and her baby would too. She began taking off her shoes when Jacob suddenly crouched in front of her.

”Hop on!” Jacob spoke.

Emily gasped at his actions, ”But the water reaches until your ankles! Are you sure on what you're going to do?”

Her words sounded silly to Jacob, so he smiled, ”Of course. That's why I am doing this.

If you step on cold water, you might get sick. And from what I know, pregnant women are more exposed to diseases.”

Emily was touched at his gesture. She obliged, hopping on his broad back and wrapped her arms around his neck. ”Jacob, You are such a sweet person.”

Jacob managed to stand up with Emily on his back. An amused smile grew on his lips, ”You just knew about that now?”

”Well, I know you are a sweet person but I just feel like saying it out loud right now, you know. Don't be so cocky.” She rested her chin on his shoulder. ”I feel like I am a princess riding on a white horse.”

”Then I am your noble steed, Princess,” Jacob chuckled.

Emily couldn't help but bend down and give his cheek a small peck.

Jacob felt giddy inside but still managed to hold Emily steadily on his back. He said, ”Hey, cut it out or else we'll fall down!” He let out a hearty laugh.
