Chapter 294 What Do You Take Me For (2/2)

Emily observed.

”Really?” Rita was surprised to hear that. When she looked up at Emily, she frowned, ”Why do you look so tired? Are you okay?”

Emily unconsciously touched her face grinding her teeth, ”I'm fine. I just wasn't able to sleep well last night.”

Rita knew what she was worried about so she addressed it, ”Just take it easy, okay? David already promised me he wouldn't tell Jacob.”

”Really? He did?” Emily asked in disbelief. David was so adamant on telling Jacob, so what could have changed his mind?

Rita's face blushed when her mind flashed back to their kiss last night but she kept her face stoic, ”I talked to him so you don't need to worry about it anymore. Just stay here. I got your back,” she promised.

Emily felt her insides warm at Rita's kind words. She nodded gratefully, ”Thank you.”

Sometimes, you didn't need words - all you needed was to feel it in your heart.

Just when Aunt Zhang entered the dining room to bring Emily her breakfast, David stepped out too holding a small steaming pot.

Emily was surprised to see him, ”David can cook?”

She wouldn't have expected that from David based on his background. For Emily, he wasn't the type to get his hands dirty because he'd been so used to having them cleaned by servants. But then she recalled Jacob and how no one else knew how well he cooked.

Emily concluded to herself that it wasn't weird after all that David could cook.
