"Jacob?" Emily tentatively called his name. She continued,"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone to look for Tina without informing you, but I only reacted to the urgency of the moment... Jacob? Jacob, why aren't you answering me?"
Displeased, Jacob gave her a cold look and made her contemplate her mistakes.
"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, okay? Jacob? Mr. Gu..." she pleaded.
"You're always ready to apologise, but you're not willing to change," he said. Jacob gritted his teeth with disappointment and said,"Do you always have to wait until it's too late for you to realize that you are wrong?"
His words disheartened Emily, but she knew he was right. Jacob's unwavering concern for her safety filled her heart with warmth and affection. She reached out to embrace him, but Jacob pushed her away. "I know I was wrong..." assured Emily.
"Don't hug me. Go hug your parents," replied Jacob.
However, Emily ignored him. She reached out again for his arm. This time Jacob did not push her way. "Don't be so mad at me. Why are you jealous of my parents? They gave birth to me and raised me. I should care about them," said Emily.
"Then, what about me?" asked Jacob.
"You are different from them," she replied.
Jacob raised his eye-brows and looked at the little one in his arms with scepticism. He asked,"How am I different from them?"
When Emily realized that Jacob's anger was dissipating, she pouted her lips and said,"You are my one and only."
"..." Jacob's heart started beating like a drum in his chest. "Dong, dong, dong..." The beating was so loud and vibrant. Jacob felt like his heart was going to pop out.
Damn, how could he be softened by this woman's sweet one-liners every time?
The next second, she slipped her arms around his neck, and pressed her pink lips against his. Her kiss was soft and comforting in ways words couldn't express.
Sam who was in the driver's seat, was surprised by their sudden show of intimacy. He silently raised the partition to give them privacy.
"Do you think this is enough?" he asked. Jacob was still stiff and expressionless, as Emily couldn't find a single change in his facial expression.
Emily bent her head and thought for a moment, then she said,"Well, would another kiss do?"
She was just... so...cute!
Jacob felt weakened by her charms. He felt like his masculinity would be questioned, if he continued to pretend to be a gentleman!
The next moment, he slammed his lips to Emily's, nearly knocking all the wind from her lungs. Emily hardly had a moment to react, before he pressed his tongue to the seam of her lips and delved inside her mouth. Her arms reached up and tangled around his thick, strong neck. She moaned to the contact of his body heat against her own...
When they broke apart to breathe, Emily rested her head on his chest and asked,"Are you still mad at me?"
"Of course, I am still angry," he replied.
Emily, put on a stern expression at once and said,"I feel like I am losing out."
"Losing out?" said Jacob, amused. He pinched her cheeks hard and said,"It is you who enticed me first. But, if you feel like you are losing out, you can kiss me back if you like."
