Chapter 644 What Should I Call You (2/2)

”Okay!” Jacob answered and nodded in a trance.

Emily understood that his mind was only capable of processing certain things at a time, so she stopped to relieve his stress. ”Since you have the difficulty of remembering things and clearly you have nowhere to go, you can stay in my house until you recover. But if you're going to stay here we'll have to figure out what you're going to address me as.”

Jacob attentively observed Emily

the maids thought to themselves.

The person Emily had described to the maids was completely different from the moody and cruel Sean they all knew and feared.

Emily had only seen Sean's gentle side.

It was clear that Emily had never seen his other side.

”Come on! I trust my judgement. Don't worry! I will take responsibility for everything. No one will blame you if anything happens.”

After she ordered the maids to leave, Emily leafed through a French book in her hand as she walked to a carved pillar along the corridor. ”Who's there? Are you a thief?”

When the man heard her voice, he quickly hid behind the carved pillar and lowered his head in shame.

Emily waited for a while, but she didn't see him coming out. She lost her patience and threw the book away before walking over to him. ”Why are you sitting here like that? Are you hatching eggs?”

The man, almost like a big dog, squatted behind the pillar and lowered his head despondently. If he was a real dog, he might have drooped his tail and ears now.

”Hey! What's the matter?” Emily asked him with puzzlement.

She leaned forward to pull him up, but she failed to do so because he didn't want to get up. Then she said, ”If you don't get up now, I will abandon you!”

Emily's words stimulated him as he looked up at her at once with moist and red eyes. He looked so upset. It seemed as though he was going to burst into tears any moment.

Emily could not believe what she was seeing. 'What's going on? Why are you crying?' Emily wondered.
