Chapter 716 As Long As My Wife Is Happy (1/2)

The next day, David and Rita went over for a visit to the Tyrone Mansion again.

They waited for Emily in the hall as she was still asleep. Due to her pregnancy, Emily had a tendency to sleep in longer than she usually did. Fortunately, Jacob was there to keep their guests entertained.

David inevitably struck up a conversation about work that most men might be interested in, ”Jacob, I haven't seen you in the company for a while. Aren't you worried about how things are going over there?”

”I appointed Sam to run the company before I went abroad. I'm sure the company is in good hands. Besides, for me, there is nothing more important than Emily, and I've decided to stay with her during this time.” As Jacob spoke of Emily, a hint of tenderness appeared on his grim face. It was like the sun had finally shone in a dark and desolate world.

David coughed slowly to cover up his awkwardness, ”Okay.”

Yesterday when the couple saw Jacob taking care of Emily, they thought Jacob was too heartbroken to accept the fact that his beloved was dead, and was so mentally broken down that he found himself a replacement for Emily to deal with the loss.

Only later did they realize how wrong they had been.

As it turned out, the woman wasn't a replace; she really was Emily in the flesh.

Thinking of how the couple behaved yesterday, Jacob frowned and warned, ”If you guys are trying to find fault with Emily, then I'd suggest that you go home right now. I won't let you do that to my wife. I don't care whether you're my good friends or not.”

”Yeah, about yesterday! See, that's why we're here.” David was rather embarrassed, ”We didn't mean to upset her. What happened yesterday was a mistake. We are extremely ashamed of how we treated Emily.”

Rita added, ”Yeah, we were wrong to doubt you and Emily. We didn't recognize her yesterday. Anyway, we came here to apologize today.”

”Really?” Jacob squinted at them skeptically as if the couple had some new tricks up their sleeves. Needless to say, he didn't believe what they had said.
