Chapter 755 Promise Me (1/2)

”Emily, let me help you with this. It's really no trouble,” Jacob said without hesitation.

”No, Jacob. I won't have you help,” Emily firmly replied.

”You've already helped me a lot and I don't want to trouble you anymore. I always rely on you so this time, I want to do it by myself,” she added.

”You silly girl… I am your husband. Of course, you can always rely on me. Don't think too much about it, alright?” Jacob's tone was sincere.

Looking into Emily's eyes, he pulled her in for an embrace. Truly, he felt happiest when he could be close to her.

”Emily?” he murmured. Leaning down, he pressed his forehead against hers.

All he wanted to do was remove all of the obstacles in Emily's way and pave the path for her career. Ray and Dina, in particular, were huge hurdles she had to cross. While he had helped her deal with Ray, he wanted to go and face Dina. No matter who it was, Jacob would never pardon someone who caused Emily trouble.

Feeling his breath on her cheeks made warmth bloom inside her. Suddenly, her breathing hitched as her face flushed—she couldn't help but gently chuckle in embarrassment.

”Jacob, I know you want to help me, and I appreciate it. But your help makes me feel a bit useless sometimes,” she whispered. Smiling at him, she secretly reached out her hand for the cake on the desk behind him.

Emily's sunshine-filled smile lit up Jacob's heart. Truly, Emily was the only one who Jacob was willing to open his heart up to. As he cared about her deeply, he would never allow her to be perplexed by such unnecessary problems.

Smiling back at her, he hugged her even tighter. ”I don't care. I will spoil you forever, my dear,” he sweetly replied.

Suddenly, he felt something soft and sticky on his face, snapping him into confusion.

After a moment, he reached up to feel his face. At that moment, Emily stepped back out of his arms, laughing loudly.

With a shaky finger, she pointed at Jacob with a hand covered in cream.

”You… you really are a cunning woman, aren't you?” he smiled.

Lowering his hand from her face, he looked at the cream on his own hand and chuckled at Emily's little prank.

”How naughty!” he added.

”Aha! I won!” Emily cheered for herself. It was clear she was truly happy about her own trick. ”Now, you can see that I'm not a useless person. I'm capable of playing tricks on you easily,” she added.
