Chapter 1019 Do Whatever You Want (1/2)

Lying on the couch, Emily closed her eyes from fatigue. Time passed by slowly. She didn't know what time it was when she heard the car engine roar outside the house. But she knew that Jacob was back.

She sat up straight and pretended that she was reading a magazine. However, her heart was beating fast, and she felt uneasy, nervous, and a little excited to see him. She tried to hide these feelings, but her gleaming eyes sold her out. Her emotions were laid bare on her face.

When Jacob walked in, he saw her weak and frail figure. He was stunned for a moment. The rage in his eyes had dissipated, and his eyes softened. However, before Emily looked up at him, he pulled a long face.

”I am... I am going upstairs.”

Emily put down the magazine and stood up, but she didn't move with any real purpose. In the depths of her heart, she was hoping that he would say something to her.

”Wait!”

Jacob finally said. The lights in the house were not on, and he stood in the dark shadows. Emily couldn't see his face, but his voice was cold and distant-sounding. She felt her heart hammering in her throat.

”Hm?”

Emily's hope was rekindled. She quickly turned around. Her big, clear eyes were twinkling, and she couldn't help but feel anticipation.

”I am not going to work tomorrow. Please, be quiet in the morning!”

Jacob walked to the couch and sat down on it. He seemed bored and he was carelessly spinning a pen. However, his other hand, which he had clenched behind his back, was shaking.

”Okay.”

Emily's slender body froze. The light in her eyes slowly died. Her red lips drained of color and became pale. She tried to say something, but in the end, she said nothing and only nodded.

It seemed that Jacob didn't plan to give her any explanation.
