Emily felt content in her heart and showed it with a lovely smile. She quickly walked over and sat beside Jacob. She tenderly wrapped her arms around him and tilted her head sideways to meet his gaze. Then, she spoke in a soft and sweet manner. "You're such a wonderful husband. I'm so lucky to have you."
Jacob pursed his lips and rubbed the bridge of his nose, pretending it was itchy. He then asked her in a low, serious tone, "What did you do today?"
Emily had no clue that Jacob was onto her. Because of that, she simply replied, "I went to the foundation to deal with a few emergencies."
Jacob didn't care about the fact that Emily was hiding something. The only thing that mattered to him was that particular dinner.
"Is there anything else?" he asked. There was a subtle hint on Jacob's face, but his questions seemed like they were just out of concern.
However, Emily keenly sensed that something was wrong. Jacob wasn't acting like his usual self. He wasn't the type of man to probe this much.
Everything that had happened earlier that day flashed through Emily's mind for a brief moment. Her cheerful spirits lessened a bit when she recalled the confrontation with the angry woman earlier.
After a bit of time, she remembered her dinner earlier and decided to tell the truth to Jacob. "By the way, I met Dr. Lin earlier today. He helped me this afternoon when a woman was troubling me, so I treated him to dinner to repay him."
Upon hearing this, Jacob felt like a great weight was lifted off his shoulders. With this feeling of relief, he blissfully chuckled and gently pinched her soft cheeks. Afterward, he lightly teased her, "You're so heartless. It took you that long to tell the truth."
Suddenly, Emily came to her senses. She opened her eyes wide open and asked in disbelief, "You... Did you send someone to follow me?"
Jacob didn't know whether to tell the truth or not. While he was thinking, he played with Emily's hair that fell on her cheeks. A few seconds later, he gave her an answer. "You should know that Darren doesn't give up that easily. He might try to harm you again. I just don't want that to happen."
While he was speaking, his glad expression turned serious.
Jacob made a solid point.
However, the information still made Emily upset. Of course, it was nice that Jacob cared about her, but she didn't appreciate the thought of being watched like a hawk all the time.
Emily's emotions at that moment were at odds with each other. She needed some time for herself to think it
lightly chuckled and then whispered, "I want your help with investigating this Jonas. It seems that he studied abroad."
David couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this. He was about to curse on the phone again, but he was able to calm himself down. "Why not ask your assistant to do this? I'm sure Sam should be able to do this by himself, right?"
'So this is the only reason why Jacob woke me up?' David was utterly pissed at the thought of this.
Jacob anxiously rubbed his phone with his slender fingers. He placed the lighter back on the table and replied in a serious tone, "Sam has more important things to do. I had no other choice but to ask for your help with this matter. I also know that you're not busy, so I found something for you to do."
In the end, after Jacob's request, it seemed more like he was teasing David rather than asking for help.
David was furious when he realized that Jacob was toying with him again. He cursed at Jacob nonstop and exclaimed, "Why in the world would you do this to me? And who told you I was free? For your information, I'm quite busy cultivating my relationship with my wife.
Besides, it won't be easy to conduct an investigation since I have business matters to deal with. And also, I—"
Jacob had had enough of David's nagging and heartlessly hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, David was rendered speechless. He stared at the screen which showed that the call was over. He was fuming, but could only grit his teeth in response. 'What a bastard! How dare you hang up on me after assigning me such a shitty task!
When it comes to your wife, you just forget all your friends!' David thought bitterly.
