Chapter 1477 Exnation


    At that moment, the old, go-getter Jacob was back to life once again. He loosened his grip on Emily a


    little so that she could sit a bit morefortably. Then, he tried to feel out if she still felt any animosity


    towards him. He knew it was better to be careful and wait for her to calm down before talking to her.


    "Honey, I''m really sorry. I didn''t mean to lie to you," Jacob firstly admitted his mistake before saying


    anything else. He thought it was a good way to appease Emily. After that, he stared longingly into her


    eyes and softly uttered, "It''s just that I miss you so much and I wanted to be with you. This was the only


    thing I could think of."


    Emily knew in her heart that she had given Jacob the cold shoulder the past few days since she still


    had doubts about what had really happened between him and Jonas. However, she couldn''t choose


    who to believe and had avoided making that decision until today.


    Since Jacob acknowledged that he was wrong, Emily took that opportunity to find out how he really felt.


    "Do you think I''m being unfair to you?" she asked.


    "Of course." Jacob gave a straightforward response. But as soon as he replied, he saw the look on her


    face and quickly shook his head. He then added, "No, no, no. Please don''t misunderstand. Even


    though I said yes, it doesn''t mean that I''m upset with you or anything."


    "So you''re not mad at all?" Emily asked while she lifted her head up so that she could clearly see the


    eyes of the man holding her. "So you admit that you did something wrong today, right?"


    "Yes," Jacob quickly replied while subconsciously nodding his head in agreement. However, he


    suddenly felt that there was a trap right in front of him, like a big hole in the ground just waiting for him


    to jump in. With that thought, he changed his mind and shook his head. "Actually, no..."


    Emily couldn''t help butugh at her husband when she saw the confused and helpless look on his face.


    He was acting like a student who had just been asked a very difficult question.


    "What are youughing at?" Jacob didn''t hesitate to ask since he was still struggling over whether to


    answer yes or no. The smile on Emily''s face only worsened the confusion he felt at that moment. He


    couldn''t handle it anymore and finally asked, "Did I do something wrong or not? Please tell me already."

    Emily cleared her throat and put on a nk expression on her face. She pulled away from Jacob''s


    arms then said, "Can you really not figure out if you''ve done something wrong?"


    Jacob was so perplexed at that moment that he feltpletely defenseless. He dreaded the thought


    that Emily would ask him such a question since guessing what a woman was thinking was not his


    strong suit, especially if thatdy was annoyed at him. But he knew in his mind that it was a bad idea to


    act like he was clueless. His past experiences with women had enlightened him to the fact that showing


    ignorance would only make an angry woman even more furious.


    Although Jacob wasn''t good at guessing, he was excellent at changing the topic.


    "How about we just talk about all of this some other day? I swear I won''t forget my mistake today,


    okay?" Emily thought that his request was reasonable. The air between them was finally pleasant and


    she didn''t want to ruin that. However, Jacob took advantage of the good atmosphere to try and exin


    another head-ache inducing topic. "Honey, I want to clear something up between us. It''s about that


    woman who took my phone the other day."


    As soon as Emily heard the words that came out of Jacob''s mouth, the expression on her face


    suddenly changed. Although it didn''t seem like she was resentful, she didn''t look happy either.


    Upon noticing the look on her face, Jacob feared that Emily would try to walk out the door again. He


    quickly pulled her back into his arms and said, "Honey, please don''t be upset about that anymore. I


    know you were peeved that night. I tried to exin my side of the story but you didn''t listen to me since


    you were so infuriated at that moment. You said you believed me. But I know deep in your heart that


    you must have felt like you were stabbed in the back, right?"


    The woman in his arms met him with silence and he didn''t need a response to know that he was right.


    The words he had uttered that night had done little to dispel the uneasiness in Emily''s heart. Jacob


    knew that he needed to tell his wife every detail to appease the sorrow she still felt.


    "The other night when you called me, I was really in the bathroom. I left my phone on the counter like


    an idiot and a random woman answered. She wanted to get even with me, you know?" Jacob said.


    "Why did she want to get even with you?" Emily asked in a soft tone with her head tilted down.


    After hearing Emily''s question, Jacob''s spirits lifted. He knew that the only way for her to believe a word


    he said was if she was in a peaceful state. Seeing that Emily responded calmly, he felt that it was the


    right time to tell her everything that had happened that night.


    "She flirted with me! That woman wanted me for herself!" At the thought of what happened that night,


    Jacob was even more aggrieved than Emily. He continued, "Honey, can you believe it? She even sat


    next to me and tried to seduce me! Of course, I shouted at her to leave me alone. I hate women with


    heavy makeup. But she must have gotten upset and wanted some payback!"


    "So you''re telling me that if she had a pure and lovely face, you would have entertained her?" Emily


    asked out of the blue. She red at him while waiting for his response.


    ''Damn!


    I might have just dug my own grave!''


    Jacob thought. He raised his hand and pped himself on the mouth, ming himself for saying too


    much.


    He immediately regretted everything he had just said and wished that he could just turn back the clock


    hand by just a few minutes. Meanwhile, Emily buried her head in Jacob''s arms while she was


    snickering at him.


    That night, she had been in a fit of rage, so she naturally hadn''t listened to what he had said. But after


    that, when her anger dissipated and she had regained herposure, she had understood the ins and


    outs of the matter.


    At that moment, Jacob had nothing to worry about since Emily''s questions were just her way of teasing


    him. After all, he had pretended to be sick and greatly worried her. It was just a bit of payback.


    Jacob couldn''t think of anything to say. Emily was just enjoying this rare moment of serenity between


    them. But since Jacob still thought that his wife was upset with him, the silence was almost suffocating


    to him.


    After quite some time, he finally moved and made a sound.


    "Honey, I..."


    Jacob didn''t have the slightest clue about what he was supposed to say. He feared that Emily would


    continue to have thoughts of him being with other women. But he was hesitant to open his mouth again


    since it might just make matters worse.


    "I trust you," Emily sat up straight and said to Jacob with a sincere look on her face. After doing so, she


    added, "I believe what you said about what happened in the bar that night."


    "Really?" Jacob asked with a look of pleasant surprise on his face. The moment he heard her words,


    he felt like a heavy load had been lifted off his shoulders. He was still in disbelief so he had to ask,


    "Honey, do you really believe me?"


    "Yes, I do, dear." Emily knew when to stop messing with her husband. She nodded with a smile. "After


    all, you have such a beautiful wife at home. I''m sure you have no need to flirt with other women, right?"


    "Yes, yes! That''s right!" Jacob blissfully agreed with a joyous smile on his face.


    Now that the problems looming in their hearts had been cleared up, the two of them smiled happily like


    they were a newly married couple. But suddenly, Jacob couldn''t help saying something that would ruin


    everything.


    "I have such a beautiful wife, so I know how to stay away from women. What about you?" He had a


    serious expression on his face while he spoke. In fact, he sounded a bit condescending. "You also


    have such an excellent and handsome husband, but the only thing you do these days is take care of


    other men."


    Emily was stunned and the lovely smile on her face disappeared. She hadn''t expected that the man in


    front of her would talk to her like this. He spoke so righteously, as if taking care of a friend in the


    hospital was one of the most horrible things she had done.
