Chapter 661 Memory Restored (2/2)
Finally, she stopped at his bedside.
Jacob could no longer keep his desires at bay and tried to get up, but she was one step ahead of him as she threw herself into his arms before he could even stand up on his feet.
In that split second when her body touched his for the first time, every nerve in his body and brain was electrified. One touch and the intoxication was instant. He couldn't help wondering whether it was dream or reality. How could he not question this intimate moment when this wasn't
o say, he was talking about Sean. Now that the love of his life was back at his side again, he had nothing to fear.
”Okay.” Emily finally closed her eyes, yawning as she said, ”You should get some sleep too. Your eyes are getting red from staying up so late.”
Jacob tried to stay up but eventually he succumbed to slumber right after her as well.
Having been through an emotional rollercoaster lately had taken its toll on Emily and she was both mentally and physically spent. Although a moment ago she was fighting to stay awake, having found comfort in between Jacob's arms, she fell fast asleep.
Jacob, however, squinted his eyes open listening to her soft breathing.
How could he fall asleep? His Emily was finally back in his arms.
She was not Cloris, not Sean's sister, but his Emily, his wife, and the love of his life.
Staring pensively at the beautiful woman in his arms, it seemed as though he couldn't get enough of her. He gave her soft kisses, carefully as to not wake her up.
The sun rose as a canopy of gold, bright amidst the blue, bidding the stars to take their nightly rest. As darkness surrendered, every colour changed from tinges of charcoal to a vibrancy. Dawn had come.
Twisting in the man's arms, Emily found a cozy position and continued to sleep in. The man kept patting on her back, spoiling her and lulling her to sleep.
”Sean...” half asleep, half awake, Emily mumbled. ”Why are you in my bed again? Come on. I'm not a little girl anymore...”
While speaking, she gradually came to her senses. After a clear look at the man's face, her eyes widened like two saucers. ”S-Seventh?! What are you doing here?”
Emily's reaction made Jacob's heart sink, dragging him back into the abyss.
