Chapter 407 Will You Still Love Me, Mommy (2/2)
Jacob kissed her with excitement and answered, ”You're carrying our second baby. Do you know what that means? I'll become a father again!”
Jacob always regretted being absent during Beryl's childhood. But now that he's going to be a father again, he vowed to never miss any of it and be there to watch the baby grow up. He would do his best to be the greatest father
e right from wrong. ”That's good to know. Mommy will never be mad at you. Of course, I forgive you. You are always Mommy's dear daughter,” Emily said as she hugged Beryl.
Jacob stroked Beryl's head and said, ”My good girl.”
Although he was happy to hear Beryl confessed, deep down, there was a doubt in Jacob's gut feel as to whether Beryl did realize her fault. After all, her apology came too soon based on Jacob's assessment. Just like yesterday, they thought that Beryl had a good start, but turned out that she had a malicious plan behind her kind behavior.
But Jacob thought that it wasn't the right time to tell those things to Emily, not when his wife was happy to see her daughter and finally hearing the words she needed to hear. He just hoped that Beryl's apology was sincere.
Beryl behaved unusually better that she used to do. She glanced around the room and saw the medical staffs outside the room. With a concerned look on her face, she asked, ”Mommy, are you sick?”
”No, Mommy is not sick. I'm pregnant and you will be a big sister soon,” Emily happily shared the news to Beryl. She unconsciously touched her belly. Until now, she couldn't believe that she was expecting and couldn't feel the baby inside her yet.
Beryl's eyes widened in disbelief and put her little hand on her mother's tummy. She then asked, ”The baby is in here? But will you still love me even after the baby comes to our home?”
”Of course! Mommy will still love you. You're my first baby and nothing will change,” Emily assured Beryl as she gently held her daughter's hands.
”Promise?” Beryl stared at her mother's still flat tummy and a spiteful look flashed in her eyes. Jacob caught that expression in an instant.
Jacob became suspicious and couldn't keep the thought to himself. He didn't take away his eyes from Beryl.
'Beryl, what are you thinking?' he thought to himself, trying to figure out what Beryl was planning.
