Chapter 759 I Love You, I Love You (1/2)

'Why would you compare yourself with a little boy like Ray?' Emily couldn't understand Jacob's reason for feeling insecure.

”Of course not! You are much better than him. You're mine,” Emily answered.

Disregarding his anger, Emily reached out and wrapped her hands around his neck like a koala bear.

”When I say 'different', I mean that if you help me the people in our company will blame me for relying on you to do everything. But if Ray helps me, it means that I'm being resourceful. If I'm not resourceful, what is the point of me being the director?”

All Emily wanted was to demonstrate that everything she had was achieved through her hard work and diligence and not handed to her on a plate by Jacob.

Emily's composed and well-structured answer registered in Jacob's brain and he realized that she wasn't the young naive girl she once was, and she was a grown-up, who was capable of handling things on her own.

Jacob fell silent.

”Honey, you could not keep me hidden under your wings forever, right?”

Emily gently caressed his chest urging him to understand what she was trying to say.

Emily knew that Jacob loved her and also loved to spoil her. But that was also why she wanted to become a self-sufficient person who deserved to be with someone like him.

”You little twerp. You know what? Sometimes I wish I could...”

Jacob heaved a deep sigh and shifted his body to bury his head in Emily's shoulder.

”Emily, sometimes I wish I could just shrink you so that I could carry you with me wherever I went,” he said slowly.

'Or hide you somewhere so that no one could see your beauty or steal you away from me...' he spoke the rest in his mind.

'Wait! Is he trying to restrict my freedom and personal space again?' Emily's brows furrowed with frustration at the thought that Jacob even knew her daily schedule.

”Jacob, are you... having difficulties, like dealing with the closing of the company?” Emily asked hesitantly, but out of concern.
