A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 276 You Are So Cute

Ever since Emily was taken away by Mr. Gu's men, Jacob had been greatly concerned about her safety. He didn't let her go back to work. He also took her wherever he went.

As a result, Emily followed him in and out of the Gu Consortium. They were inseparable and all of the staff thought that they were married.

"Jacob, I'm not a kid anymore. Why should I be following you every goddamn time?" Emily sat by the extra desk in Jacob's office. She scowled as she put one hand under her chin. "Stop treating me as if I'm still in kindergarten."

Jacob grabbed her hand and kissed the back of it. "Please understand me this time, okay? I wanted to be with you all the time."

"How old are you again? Only children need adult supervision," Emily's pout turned into a teasing smile.

Jacob dramatically spoke, "I really want to see you by my side. If I don't, I won't be able to function. If I won't be able to function, I won't be able to work. If I won't be able to work, then business is going to crash!"

Emily couldn't help but laugh, "You're quite a drama queen, aren't you?"

"I'm not exaggerating. It's how I really feel," Jacob spoke, putting a hand on his chest. These past few days, Jacob had a strange hunch that something might happen to Emily. That was why he kept her by his side to keep her safe.

Emily smiled. She perfectly understood how Jacob was being overprotective towards her so she decided to compromise with his wishes. "Very well then. I'll keep you company."

'Just in time! Maybe I can take this chance and really relax for a while, ' Emily thought optimistically.

Jacob decided to set a few rules, "You can use the computer but only for one hour. If you use it more than an hour, it's going to strain your eyes."

"Okay, okay. I heard it loud and clear. No need to nag," Emily replied, scratching her temple, giving a helpless smile.

"Are you getting sick of me? Sorry for being such a nagger. I am just worried about you and the child. Can't you see it?" Jacob said with puppy eyes as he reached out to squish her cheeks. "Hey, your face. It has gotten rounder and fluffier."

Emily's eyes widened, "Oh my gosh! Have I gotten fat!?"

"Well, let me check..." Jacob put his large hands on her white delicate cheeks and kneaded them like dough. On the other hand, Emily glared at him, not amused. "No, you are not fat. I mean, it's just getting round." He finally let go of her face.

Emily decided to play along and pretended to be serious and asked, "Is being fat different from being round?"

"Of course they are different. A fat woman is not that aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. While a lady with a round face is very cute!" Jacob said seriously.

Emily was speechless for a moment, feeling flattered. The next second, Jacob suddenly reached out and touched her belly.

She was shocked by his sudden movement. Was this really Jacob? He finally touched her unborn child!

Emily prayed the Jacob was the father. However, doubt was already planted in his mind and they weren't sure who the father was.

So that explained why Jacob had a dislike towards the unborn child. She couldn't blame him for that. She thought that she could be the greediest woman in the world. She wanted to be with Jacob but she wanted to be with her child also.

Why was she still blessed with so many good things in the world? She knew that a time would come wherein she needed to choose between love and motherhood. She had to choose either Jacob or her child.

Fortunately, Jacob didn't force her to choose between them.

Jacob caressed her belly, snapping her back to reality, "Your belly is getting more protruded as days pass by. The child is growing so quickly."

Emily wanted to cry in happiness. A tear flowed out of her eyes and sniffled. "Y-You are right..." Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She saw that Jacob was trying his best to accept the child for her sake, even though there was a possibility that the child wasn't his.

"Did you catch a cold?" Jacob asked, feeling nervous when he heard her sniffle.

Emily tried her best to hold back her tears and smiled at Jacob, "Don't worry. I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" Jacob reached out to touch her forehead. When he checked her temperature, he concluded she didn't have a fever. Even so, he was still worried about her so he went to the first aid kit inside his office and took out a thermometer.

Emily obliged and took her temperature. She handed him back the thermometer after a few moments. "97.7 degree. No fever," she spoke.

Jacob could finally set his heart at ease. He gave Emily a cup of milk then finally let her roam around his office freely.

The desk for Emily was the same style as Jacob's, but smaller. Emily sat at the desk, played some computer games, and glanced at Jacob.

Jacob was serious during work. He sat on his chair with no hint of expression and with the first button of his shirt unbuttoned. In her eyes, he looked charming as he went through the company documents.

"This one's from accounting..." he muttered as he signed the check.

Emily couldn't help but admire him from afar. In her opinion, men were attractive when they were working and it seemed like Jacob did his work effortlessly.

"Why are you looking at me?" Emily was snapped back to reality when Jacob asked her that question. He was looking at her, as he held a document, raising an eyebrow. A slight smirk was growing on his lips.

"I couldn't help but admire how handsome you are right now! Now I am wondering how women are willing to throw their selves on you." She sighed heavily, her cheeks turning pink.

Pleased, Jacob put down his documents and gave her a hug from behind. "Aww, are you feeling jealous again?"

"I'm going to be frank," Emily said in a serious tone. "I feel jealous and I don't want any woman take you away from me!"

"Call me strange but I feel so flattered whenever you get jealous," Jacob chuckled. He tapped his finger on her nose then gave her a kiss on the cheek, At first, he couldn't work properly because Emily wasn't in his sight. However, he was still distracted at her presence! Oh, how he wanted to ravage her inside his office and fill her with his love. But it was work time and he needed to concentrate.

He began to kiss her hair as one hand slid down on her thigh. Emily smirked and pulled herself away from him. "You need to do your job properly, chairman."

Damn that woman. She was being such a tease!

But what else could he do? Those desires could wait until later. Right now, he had to deal with a lot of paperwork.

Emily spent some of her time playing with the computer again and then watching over Jacob. She gave a soft yawn and tried to fight off the drowsiness she was feeling.

Before she knew it, she gradually fell asleep.

When Jacob noticed that she fell asleep, he decided to carry her on the sofa and laid her down there. Then he pulled up a blanket on her so she would not catch a cold.

There wasn't much work for him to do but he decided to be productive and finish everything that was due next week so he could spend his time-off with Emily.

Jacob knew that he couldn't keep her in his office for too long.

Jacob's work lasted until evening. The employees went off from work one by one. However, Emily was still asleep soundly. She had been sleeping heavily due to her pregnancy.

While she slept, she felt a hand caressing her face. She saw Jacob's handsome face when she woke up. Then he gave a teasing grin, "Are you awake now, you lazy little piggy?" Jacob approached her ear, as he chuckled and kissed her on her cheek then her red lips, "Are you feeling hungry?"

"I'm not hungry," Emily answered, shaking her head.

"Since you're not hungry, let's do something else..." Jacob whispered huskily and kissed her ear. She felt a surge of pleasure trickling down her body.

"Hmm... what else should we do?" Emily put her hands to push him away, causing her to be blushing profusely. "I am pregnant right now so we can't do that!"

"I was going to say...let's just cut your nails! What have you been thinking, huh?" Jacob laughed out loud as he opened his right hand. He took out a nail clipper from his chest pocket, and said, "Sit down. Let me cut your nails."
