Chapter 1053 As An Exchange (1/2)

Jacob was sitting idly on the couch in the living room downstairs. He playfully threw his phone in the air and caught it a couple of times while maintaining a dangerous smile on his face.

The thought of sending Darren a big ”surprise” excited him greatly. Jacob was going to make Darren pay for his transgressions against his loved ones.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps from behind, so he quickly put his phone away, concealing his feelings, and said, ”Are you feeling better now?”

Jacob's voice came out of the blue and took Emily by surprise, but she quickly came to and gave him an apt response.

”I am fine,” Emily replied timidly, and she lowered her face to keep him from seeing the blush on her cheeks.

It turned out that Jacob was the best antidote for the drug Darren had given her. After one night of intense love-making, she was absolutely fine.

Emily couldn't remember much of what had happened, but the touch of his familiar gentleness reminded her just how much she had missed Jacob.

What followed, however, left Emily utterly stunned.

”Then, leave!”

After giving her a cold glance, Jacob walked to the dining table and started to eat his food. His actions made it clear that he didn't want Emily to stay there at all.

Emily deliberately ignored this cold and harsh attitude. All she could think of was his gentle touch that warmed her heart. However, her eyes dimmed in confusion when she thought about Jacob's attitude the last couple of times they had slept together.

After all, it wasn't too long ago when he had forced himself on her and claimed her as his sex slave. Afterward, when he was finished, he had left her alone in the bed and then kicked her out of the house.

However, last night was different. Although she could barely keep a clear mind, she knew there was a big difference in the way he had touched her last night. Just the thought of it gave her sweaty palms and butterflies in her stomach.

Emily bit her lip, hesitating to say anything. After a while, she finally walked over to Jacob's side and slowly said, ”Where are my clothes?”

There was no way Emily was just going to walk out the door without any pants and with only Jacob's shirt to cover her body.
