Chapter 898 Family Rules (1/2)

Jacob instantly felt as if he was dunked in ice cold water from head to toe. His passion evaporated only to be replaced by anger and embarrassment.

'It is time to get new maids! They cannot even watch over a toddler!' Jacob thought with great annoyance.

Bowen tried hard to get the cloth disentangled from his head. Emily had finally reacted and had swiftly dressed in Jacob's T-shirt before lifting Bowen into her arms. Sensing their embarrassment, Bowen became squirmy and tried to free himself from the cloth.

With the quilt wrapped around his lean and powerful frame, Jacob was still angry at seeing the complacent little Bowen who sat in Emily's arms sucking his thumb. Emily smiled apologetically at her disturbed husband.

”Pay me back tonight!”

Jacob ground his teeth and stared at Bowen thinking of how to punish him later! The little tyke was becoming more and more demanding of Emily's time.

Jacob could not help feeling disappointed at suffering this invasion of his marital privacy, so he got dressed quite unhappily. After getting fully dressed, he had calmed down again, though this was not the emotion he had planned on having when he had carried Emily up the stairs moments before.

”Bowen, did you miss mommy?”

Emily tried her best to hold her laughter as she threw a glance at the sulking Jacob sitting next to her, though her own face was still quite rosy with embarrassment. Then, she lightly pinched Bowen's cheeks, making him squeal with joy.

”Miss… miss... Daddy... Mommy... Bed...” Bowen even covered his eyes with his chubby little hands to pretend that he saw nothing.

Jacob pulled Bowen from Emily's arms and said seriously, ”Do not come into our room next time unless you have knocked on the door!”

”Wail… Mommy...” Bowen reached for Emily, hoping that she could take him back and comfort him. He was not interested in his father being so serious all of a sudden.

Slap! Jacob's big palm smacked Bowen's soft bottom. The crisp sound echoed through the big room and Bowen began to cry loudly.

Emily wanted to take Bowen back but Jacob quickly took him out of the room. Soon, a cold and serious voice sounded from outside. ”As an old Chinese saying goes, 'One can be judged for how his adulthood will be when he is still a toddler'. A boy should not always cry! I need to have a talk with him now!”
