Chapter 557 How Dare You Claim Yourself As My Wife (2/2)

Noticing the time on the large wall-clock she considered her next move. Walking towards the kitchen, she decided to cook din

ey were interrupted by a low, piercing voice.

”Wife?” Jacob asked frostily.

Both women turned to look at him as he walked into the kitchen with measured steps.

”Mr. Jacob...” The maid stuttered. She was terrified and didn't know what else to say.

'How much of this did he see?

I did not bully this woman. I was just mocking her. It's all her fault! Why should she be so arrogant?

Mr. Jacob would not blame me for that, right?' she thought, cold with uncertainty.

Watching Jacob walk towards them, Emily could not tear her eyes away from him.

He seemed different, but also so similar to the Jacob of old that it made her heart ache.

He reminded her of when she hadn't been with him. He had regarded others as ants then as if they were undeserving of his attention. He was aloof and withdrawn in those days. It had been such a long road from there to the Jacob that she loved so well.

Jacob was always the one who deserved everyone's admiration.

”Wife?” He repeated with even more chill in his voice. Then he sneered before adding, ”How dare you claim yourself as my wife? I do not remember even marrying you.”

All of sudden, Emily's face turned pale white.

Her great regret had been that they never did get married, even though they were together for such a long time. It was always their intention to marry, but time and fate had conspired to deny them the joy of matrimony. They had suffered too many setbacks and obstacles...

She had twice given birth to his children, but she was still not his wife. 'How ironic life is?' she wondered sadly.
