Chapter 1480 Be Ourselves (2/2)

In her heart, she really wanted to give him a call. But she was worried that it might just distract him from his work. However, unbeknownst to her, Jacob would come home in just a few short hours.

”Honey, why are you just standing there? Did something happen?” To Jacob's surprise, he opened the door to their home and saw Emily in front of him. Emily was in a complete daze and didn't even notice that her husband had arrived.

Upo

s life with her, just as she had vowed to spend the rest of her life with him.

Remembering the comments she had seen on the internet, Emily let out a soft sigh and decided that it was better to not add anything else to her husband's troubles.

At the thought of this, she bit her lower lip and said in a gentle voice, ”Jonas, I think it's better if we stop going out to dinner from now on. To be exact, we'd better not meet again in the future. I'm sorry.”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. It seemed that Jonas couldn't think of a single response. A few moments later, he replied, ”Is it because of Jacob? Did he ask you to do this?” His voice was hoarse. It was like Emily's request had hit him hard in the stomach.

”It's not because of him. I just don't think it's a good idea for us to meet each other so frequently. I've heard rumors of you and I having an affair. As you know, I'm already a mother. I don't want my children to hear something they shouldn't have to.”

Of course, it was impossible for Emily to explain to Jonas the real reason why she was doing this. She could only tell him the first excuse that came to her mind.

”We don't need to change for others. It's better to be just ourselves. Emily, you shouldn't listen to what people say about us since we know who we really are. We're just good friends, right? Or I can even explain it to everyone. It doesn't have to come to this.” Jonas spoke in a pleading manner. In Emily's mind, it was clear he didn't want to lose the friendship they had. He continued on as a final attempt to change her mind.

”A person like Jacob who can't even trust his own wife, doesn't deserve our consideration. A man like him has less credence than just a simple friend,” he added.

”Forget it. That's it,” Emily replied while her confused eyes became frigid.
