Chapter 381 Because Daddy Loves Mommy


    What kind of negotiation was this? It was crystal clear that he was taking advantage of her.


    Emily was dizzy from the euphoric kiss when Jacob stopped for just a moment to let her speak. She


    conceded, "Okay, you can stop kissing me now…"


    Jacob didn''t heed this and went back in his words, he proceeded to kiss her violently. He only stopped


    when someone knocked on the door, his face full of unsatisfied regret.


    "Rat-a-tat." The knock went on at a steady pace, apanied with Ina''s voice, "Miss Lu?"


    Upon hearing this, Emily snapped back to reality and red at Jacob then pushed him away. With her


    temper leashed, she proimed, "I''m alright!"


    Ina continued, "Miss Lu, I brought the food I got from the market, but I''m not sure if the okra I bought


    was the one you wanted. Would youe out and take a look?"


    Clearly, Ina didn''t want Emily to be alone in a room with Jacob.


    With a gleam of displeasure in his eyes, Jacob wordlessly stood up and fixed Emily''s hair then smiled,


    "Now it''s settled. We, a family of three, will go to the seaside."


    A family of three…


    Emily had to admit when she heard the word ''family'', a warm feeling spread throughout her body, like a


    small hole was opened on the walls of her heart.


    "Miss Lu?" Ina urged again, this time with a tinge of nervousness in her voice.


    Emily couldn''t stay in the room with Jacob anymore, so she went out with Jacob in tow.


    As soon as Beryl saw Jacobe out of the room, she ran and wrapped her arms around his legs and


    eagerly asked, "How was it Daddy? Did Mommy agree?"


    Jacob patted her little round head, winked and gestured an OK sign to her. Beryl''s smile almost


    reached the heavens as she raised her hand for a high-five.

    "You''re the best, Daddy! Even Mommy listens to you!"


    Seeing the evident adoration on his daughter''s expression, Jacob''s weary heart couldn''t help but feel


    revitalized. "Why, of course. Mommy''s always obedient to me..."


    "Am I?" Emily''s cold voice came from behind him, "You''re saying that I''ll obey your everymand be


    it right or wrong?"


    "No, you got it wrong." Turning slowly with a solemn expression, he lied through his teeth, "What I


    meant to say to Beryl was that Mommy liked me best."


    Beryl''s eyes widened in amused surprise. Daddy was under Mommy!


    Emily snorted softly and wordlessly turned around and walked towards the kitchen. She heard the faint


    voice of Beryl, who sounded surprised.


    "Daddy is afraid of Mommy!"


    "No." He corrected her instantly. "Daddy loves Mommy, remember?"


    With a long sounding "Oh", Beryl replied, "Yes, I remember."


    Emily''s heart softened. This man touched her innermost emotions. She thought that with agees


    emotional maturity, but she was as emotional as ever.


    "Miss Lu?" Ina asked after observing her distracted face, "The man..."


    "Huh?" Emily snapped back to reality. Looking at Ina''s suspicious eyes, she exined, "He''s really


    Beryl''s father."


    Ina continued, "Do Sean and Mrs. Lu know?"


    Emily walked towards the kitchen counter and pondered for a moment, she then said, "Whether they


    know or not, I hope this stays between us."


    "I see, Miss Lu." Ina''s eyes became emotionless, but a flicker of something that Emily couldn''t quite


    understand shed in her eyes for a brief moment.


    Jacob was a man of action, so the next day he had already arranged the seaside trip and went there


    extra early to pick up Beryl and Emily.


    Brimming with excitement, Beryl opened the door. As soon as she saw Jacob, her eyes lit up and


    beamed at him, "Daddy, you''re here!"


    Jacob bent down to pick her up and kissed her little cheek, "Where''s Mommy?"


    "Mommy''s still sleeping, she''s lying down on her bed." Beryl raised her chin proudly. "Beryl didn''t stay


    in bed today!"


    "Beryl is great." Jacob was never one to hold back praise for his daughter. In his eyes, Beryl was the


    best as well as his wife. "Come on, let''s wake mommy up."


    Ina, who was cooking breakfast in the kitchen, was about to stop Jacob from going up, but was stopped


    by his intense aura and dignity.


    Paying no attention to the nanny, Jacob held Beryl in his arms and slowly ascended the stairs into


    Emily''s bedroom.


    Emily, who was still lying in bed, had her eyes closed. Her longshes cast elegant shadows that


    resembled painting brushes over her eyelids. Her breath shallow yet at a rhythmic pace, her sleep was


    peaceful and she looked beyond beautiful.


    Jacob wouldn''t have destroyed such a beautiful sight if he could help it.


    Beryl tugged at his cor and spoke, almost whispering, "Don''t forget we''re going to the seaside today,


    wake mommy up!"


    "Why don''t you wake her up, Beryl?" Jacob asked softly.


    "But, I''m scared that mommy would get angry at me." Beryl replied, pouting.


    "So you want me to do it?" Jacob didn''t know whether tough or cry at this.


    She replied with perfect assurance and a smug face, "Because daddy loves mommy."


    The excuse was watertight. No getting out of this one, Jacob thought.


    He stretched out his hand to caress Emily''s face and spoke softly, "Emily, wake up."


    With a twinge of doubt in her voice, Beryl said, "My mommy is Cloris, not Emily."


    Jacob paused for a while to think of a way to exin theirplicated rtionship, but to no avail. So


    he instead said, "It''s your mommy''s nickname that only I can use."


    Beryl seemed to understand the underlying love, "Oh."


    At that moment, Emily could feel a soft touch grazing her cheek, prating the barriers of sleep.


    Dazed, she slowly opened her eyes, and was met with the Jacob''s devilishly handsome face.


    "Well, get up!"


    "Go away, I want to sleep..." Emily turned the other way, eyes closed. Her voice was soft but sounded


    alluring like a kitten.


    Jacob was enchanted by this, he suddenly closed in and kissed her on the cheek, "Come on, my kitty


    cat, get up."


    Emily ignored him and went about sleeping. Jacob continued to coax her to get up, "If you don''t get up


    in the next five seconds, I''ll hold you up."


    Emily disregarded this and pretended to still be asleep. True to his word, after five seconds, Jacob was


    holding Emily up with one hand, just like a child.


    Still groggy from the rude awakening, Emily was dumped over his shoulder, "What do you think you''re


    doing?"


    "Holding you." Jacob answered simple and left the room with Beryl in one hand and Emily in the other.


    Beryl was amused. She pped her hands excitedly. "You''re amazing, Daddy! You can carry two


    people at the same time without breaking a sweat!"


    As far as Jacob was concerned, as long as Emily was willing to give birth, he would hold up all their


    children.


    When they reached the living room, Emily started to really wake up. She struggled in Jacob''s arms and


    even punched him, "What are you doing so early in the morning?"


    Jacob face was a mask of innocence, "I just held you up."


    As if it was a perfectly normal thing to do.


    Beryl''s expression almost mimics the innocence in Jacob''s face. They looked almost exactly the same.


    Looking at both of them and noticing the uncanny resemnce, Emily couldn''t stay mad at Jacob


    anymore.


    "Never mind, I don''t want to talk to you."


    It only took a short time for Beryl toe to her father''s side.


    It was true that a growing girl couldn''t be kept at home. She didn''t forget that Jacob''s attractiveness


    won the heart of Beryl, and even wanted to be her boyfriend. Now, she was also content with Jacob


    being her father.
