Chapter 718 Though Miles Apart (2/2)

That evening, Beryl rejected the company of Jacob and Emily, and finally slept alone.

Emily was still worried about Beryl, and asked Jacob, ”Did I scare Beryl today?”

Jacob held her hand. ”Don't worry. I don't think so. I think Beryl's attitude is changing for the better. She just needs time. Just take it easy, okay?” Jacob soothed.

”Alright.” Emily snug

to say no. She licked her lips and finally said, ”Okay...”

As she said this, Emily's eyes lit up and were full of joy. She squatted down and kissed Beryl.

”Thank you baby! Thank you for agreeing to mom's wish.”

It was several seconds before she realized that she had made such an intimate gesture and she subconsciously held her breath as she watched Beryl's expression, fearing that she would cry like last time.

Beryl just sat there, and didn't react to what happened. Her flushed face looked like a red apple.

Emily was greatly relieved. She tried her best to control the urge to embrace Beryl, and even her tone became cautious, ”Beryl, you can go prepare. Do you need mom to pick out your clothes?”

”No, thanks.” Beryl glanced at her quickly, then lowered her head again. ”I can get dressed by myself. You can wait for me outside.”

”Well, take your time, baby. We will leave once you are ready.” Emily had endless patience and tolerance for her daughter. Even if Beryl said that she wanted the stars in the sky, she would find a way to pick them for her.

Closing the door, Beryl couldn't help but touch her cheek where Emily had just kissed her.

In fact, she didn't hate Emily's intimate touch at all; she actually like it very much. But she just felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed by it at the same time.
