Chapter 707 Uncle Jacob And Little Emily (1/2)

Rooted in her place and not knowing what to do, Emily just looked at her daughter. She was sad she could not do anything. Her daughter was still not used to her looking like another person.

She watched at the sideline how Jacob and Beryl treat each other. They even embraced one another.

What she saw just made her feel more depressed.

”There's no need to be sad. Time will come that everything will be alright. To help you feel better, I'll talk to her later.” Seeing Emily's sad expression, Jacob felt a little bit distressed. He put his arms around her and continued, ”Beryl was just too surprised to see you now. But soon, she will understand.”

Despite Jacob's comfort assurance, Emily was still not optimistic. ”I hope so,” she answered sighing softly.

Just then, the maid who looked after Beryl interrupted, ”Sir, let me follow Miss Beryl to see to her needs.”

Whether the intention was deliberate or not, it seemed that the maid neglected to acknowledge Emily.

Though Emily did not see anything wrong, this made Jacob angry. ”Is it only I that you see?” When the maid failed to answer him, he continued his questioning. ”Shall I teach you how to address my wife?”

”No...I'm sorry, ma'am.” This time, the maid answered right away. Her eyes grew large in surprised. She couldn't help but stare at Emily. She thought that the woman in front of her look younger than her and was beautiful with a fairy spirit all around her.

'Is she really Mr. Jacob's wife?' the maid asked herself.

Though Jacob already told her who Emily was, she still felt confused while remembering Miss Beryl's reaction.

'Is it really possible to mother a child at such a young age?' the maid continued wondering. Then the maid speedily calculated the age in her mind. 'Miss Beryl is almost seven years old. This woman must have her when she was between fourteen or fifteen if she's really Miss Beryl's mother.'

'UNLESS... She is a new woman brought back by Mr. Jacob.'
