Chapter 821 An Uncanny Dream (2/2)

She closed her e

e dream. I was forced! I was a victim! So why do I have to feel guilty?' Emily thought in bewilderment, her heart still racing.

Jacob didn't ask more details about her dream, for he was loath to see Emily in such agony and thought it best that she forgot whatever she had dreamed about. Instead, he tried to assuage her panic by making fun of her saying, ”Did you have an erotic dream?”

It was an unintentional joke on his part, but it cut straight to the point.

Emily looked at him with astonishment and felt her heart sink. She feared that Jacob could see through her and read her dream. It would be impossible for her to explain if Jacob ever knew about her dream.

But when she realized that Jacob was just kidding, she sighed and drew a deep breath, pretending to be angry. ”No! It was not an erotic dream! What's on your mind? You always think about erotic things. But do you really think that everyone thinks about that kind of stuff just like you?” Emily grumbled.

Seeing that Emily was angry, he felt relieved that she had gotten rid of the nightmare. He held her hands to his heart and asked, ”Then tell me, what am I thinking about now?”

Emily curled her lips and said, ”How can I know? Anyway, it's probably not something good.”

Jacob laughed and kissed the tops of her fingers. ”It's okay that you scold me. But how can you scold yourself? I won't allow anyone to scold you, including yourself. It hurts me.” He stroke her hair and looked at her tenderly.

”Wait. I didn't...” Emily was about to argue.

”Ah, but I was thinking about you. And just now you said that what I was thinking about was not something good. Right? Are you going to deny that you said it? That's not what a good girl would do.” Jacob smiled and kissed her cheek.

”Well!” Emily thumped him hard and continued, ”You dare to make fun of me! Jacob, you are really the big bad wolf now!”
