As strange as it were, Jacob was jealous of the baby as he firmly said,"I won't let you go."
Emily wasn't sure whether she was angry or disappointed. She knew that it wasn't right for her to ask Jacob to stay there alone, but she needed to get some food for Rita to help her regain strength.
Jacob made a concession again when he saw Emily's worried look. "I'll have my cook prepare something and deliver it here," said Jacob.
Almost instantly, Emily's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. She got up and hugged Jacob. "Jacob, you are such a sweetheart! I love you very much!" said Emily happily.
"But your love is not sincere at all," Jacobs snorted and complained.
Emily knew exactly what he meant, so she smiled and put her lips close to Jacob's. "Well then, how about a kiss?" asked Emily.
Jacob pursed his lips, pretending to be stubborn and stayed still, as if nothing could temp him.
Emily cracked a smile, wrapped her arms around Jacob's neck and then stood on her toes.
"I can't reach your lips," she said. Emily was frustrated, as she struggled to reach his lips.
Jacob, however, didn't help her. He plainly said,"That's your problem."
Emily furrowed her eye-brows and gritted her teeth. She knew it wasn't her height that was the problem, this man was just so tall!
Emily held onto his arms and bounced around like a bunny. All she wanted to do was kiss the man on his lips!
Amused, Jacob, smiled, with a certain air of suaveness around him, as he watched Emily jump again and again trying to reach for his lips. "Not high enough," he said.
Soon, Emily's legs were starting to give out. When she noticed that Jacob was smiling at her misfortune, she glared at him, annoyed, and said,"I don't want to kiss you anymore."
Slighted, Emily turned around to walk away, but Jacob grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back to his arms.
"What?" yelled Emily. Annoyed, furious and disrespected. Emily was feeling all three emotions at once.
Jacob, turned her to face him and then lifted her up like a child. Now, Emily was a few inches above him. Emily looked down to see his handsome face, staring at her, expectantly.
"Little baby, don't be angry. Uncle Jacob will take care of everything?" said Jacob.
Emily laughed so hard, and she almost spat on his face. "I'm not a baby. Hm," murmured Emily.
With Emily looking down, he raised his head to kiss her lips and breathed in her sweet aroma.
Emily, slowly laid her hands on Jacob's shoulders and gradually reciprocated his passion for her. They locked lips in a deep and passionate kiss that lasted longer than anticipated.
After a while, Jacob tore his lips from hers reluctantly and put Emily down on her feet.
Emily's knees felt so weak that she wobbled and almost fell to the ground.
Jacob chuckled and stretched out his long arms to pull his girl into his loving arms. "I haven't done anything else yet, and you're already finding it hard to keep your feet on the ground. That's not good," Jacob teased her.
"Shut up!" Emily's cheeks flushed red with shame, as she immediately looked at Rita, only to find her in deep sleep.
Emily breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad that Rita wasn't awake to see them like that, as Jacob was never the kind of man to shy away from being intimate in front of everyone. Fortunately, Rita was sound asleep and didn't see what had happened.
Soon, Sam brought all the things Jacob had asked him to bring for the newborn baby. To his surprise, when he received a call from his boss earlier, there was no way he could have expected what Jacob was asking him to get.
'Necessities for a newborn baby? Whose baby it is?
Is it the boss's baby? Perhaps that's why he called me personally to have me fetch all these things?
