Chapter 637 Morning My Princess (1/2)
”I beg your pardon, Mr. Jacob,” Vedder said as he pointed to the picture on the table. A odd smile appeared on his face, and he continued, ”Who is this lady?”
A hint of affection flashed on Jacob's cold face, and even though it existed only for a moment, Vedder caught that expression in an instant.
”She's my wife.”
”Your wife?”
Vedder was a little surprised at his answer. He looked at the picture carefully, but Jacob soon covered it with his hand, as if he were protecting an invaluable treasure.
Vedder sighed and said, ”Mr. Jacob, I didn't mean to stare at your wife's picture. I was just a little surprised, because I recently met someone who looked a lot like your wife. Maybe they're related. Who knows?”
”What did you say?” Jacob's head was sent reeling backwards. He wasn't sure whether he had heard Vedder properly. Intrigued, he widened his eyes, while his voice trembled, ”Please say that again.”
Vedder was also intrigued to see this side of Jacob. This was a rare occasion, indeed. He repeated his own words.
”I said I recently met someone who looked a lot like your wife. Maybe...” Jacob jumped with anticipation. ”What's her name?”
”Well...” Vedder scratched the back of his head and answered with embarrassment, ”I forgot her full name, but I know her last name is Lu.”
Jacob stood up as soon as Vedder finished his sentence. He could not control himself anymore, and he exclaimed, ”Lu? Are you sure that her last name is Lu?”
”Yes! Her last name is Lu. She is the daughter of the Lu Family. Sean really cares about his little sister.” Vedder made fun of his excitement. ”Oh, Mr. Jacob! Look how nervous you are. I almost thought that she was your long-lost daughter or something.”
”No! She's not!” Jacob answered word by word, ”She's my wife!”
Dumbfounded by his words, Vedder said, ”You must be kidding, right? The girl I am talking about is only fifteen or sixteen years old. How could she be your wife? Your wife looked like around twenty five in this picture.”
”Fifteen or sixteen?” Jacob's light diminished when he heard this. 'Did Sean find another girl who looks like Emily, to be his sister?' he wondered.
