A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

At that moment, the old, go-getter Jacob was back to life once again. He loosened his grip on Emily a little so that she could sit a bit more comfortably. Then, he tried to feel out if she still felt any animosity towards him. He knew it was better to be careful and wait for her to calm down before talking to her.

"Honey, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you," Jacob firstly admitted his mistake before saying anything else. He thought it was a good way to appease Emily. After that, he stared longingly into her eyes and softly uttered, "It's just that I miss you so much and I wanted to be with you. This was the only thing I could think of."

Emily knew in her heart that she had given Jacob the cold shoulder the past few days since she still had doubts about what had really happened between him and Jonas. However, she couldn't choose who to believe and had avoided making that decision until today.

Since Jacob acknowledged that he was wrong, Emily took that opportunity to find out how he really felt. "Do you think I'm being unfair to you?" she asked.

"Of course." Jacob gave a straightforward response. But as soon as he replied, he saw the look on her face and quickly shook his head. He then added, "No, no, no. Please don't misunderstand. Even though I said yes, it doesn't mean that I'm upset with you or anything."

"So you're not mad at all?" Emily asked while she lifted her head up so that she could clearly see the eyes of the man holding her. "So you admit that you did something wrong today, right?"

"Yes," Jacob quickly replied while subconsciously nodding his head in agreement. However, he suddenly felt that there was a trap right in front of him, like a big hole in the ground just waiting for him to jump in. With that thought, he changed his mind and shook his head. "Actually, no..."

Emily couldn't help but laugh at her husband when she saw the confused and helpless look on his face. He was acting like a student who had just been asked a very difficult question.

"What are you laughing at?" Jacob didn't hesitate to ask since he was still struggling over whether to answer yes or no. The smile on Emily's face only worsened the confusion he felt at that moment. He couldn't handle it anymore and finally asked, "Did I do something wrong or not? Please tell me already."

Emily cleared her throat and put on a blank expression on her face. She pulled away from Jacob's arms then said, "Can you really not figure out if you've done something wrong?"

felt completely defenseless. He dreaded the thought that Emily would ask him such a question since guessing what a woman was thinking was not his strong suit, especially if that lady was annoyed at him.
