    Emily red at him shyly. “You always take advantage of me.“ She withdrew her hand and ignored him.


    Jacob smiled. “It''s natural for me to take advantage of my wife.“


    “You are so glib.“ After taking a look at the soup, Emily took a small spoon, scooped a little of the soup,


    and tasted it. She felt that it was a little light, so she reached out for the salt while answering Jacob''s


    question. “I finished my work ahead of time, so I came home early. Well, aren''t you home early too?“


    It was only noon, and Jacob was already in their kitchen.


    “That only means we think alike, don''t you think?“ Jacob pointed at the ne around his neck, the


    one designed by Emily.


    At the sight of that, Emily smiled.


    Seeing that Emily had returned to being energetic and happy like before, Jacob felt very contented. He


    reached out to touch her face and said, “Now you can get some good rest.“


    Before the new productunch took ce, Emily had stayed upte to work every day. Jacob had


    watched her grow weak and her skin turn sallow. He had felt sorry for her. But since he had known that


    she was doing something that meant a lot to her, he had had no choice but to support her all the way.


    “Okay.“ Emily put her hand on Jacob''s and nodded.


    While the two were busy enjoying each other''spany, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Emily and Jacob looked at each other. Then, Jacob went to open the door.


    “Hello?“ a voice called from outside the door. It was Rita, who had been smiling brightly until Jacob


    opened the door. She froze for a moment. “Jacob...“ She had thought that Emily would be the one to


    answer the door.


    Jacob smiled and nodded politely to her. Then, he stepped aside and let her in.


    “Thank you, Jacob.“ Rita thanked Jacob with a stiff expression, walked into the house, and took off her


    shoes.


    Jacob closed the door behind them.


    “Is that Rita?“ Emily was busy in the kitchen. After the soup was ready, she turned the gas off. Hearing


    Rita''s voice, she walked out of the kitchen.


    “Emily!“ When Rita saw Emily, she immediately rushed to her happily and hugged her, almost yelling


    excitedly, “I heard about your sess at the new productunch! You''re so amazing!“


    Rita had heard about what Emily had done at the new productunch. She was very happy for her and


    her recent design sess.


    Her sudden visit was really to celebrate with Emily in person.


    “I''m so proud of you!“ Rita was so excited that she wanted to jump up and down.


    Seeing that her best friend was so happy for her sess, Emily was also very joyful.


    While the two women were busy talking to each other, Jacob sneaked into the kitchen to cook the


    remaining dishes, leaving Emily and Rita some space and privacy to chat.


    “But...“ The smile on Rita''s face suddenly disappeared. She put her hands on her hips and looked at


    Emily with dissatisfaction.


    “What''s wrong?“ Emily looked at Rita in confusion.


    “Why haven''t you sent me one ne as a gift? Am I not your best friend?“ Rita angrily questioned


    Emily and pretended to be jealous. “I know I''m not as important as your husband and your three little


    kids, but I''m your best friend! Don''t you miss me at all? I''m so sad!“ she said.


    Hearing Rita''sint, Emily smiled and gently tapped her head. “Quit acting like a spoiled brat. Wait


    here.“ Then, she turned around and walked toward her room.


    At the sight of this, Rita''s eyes lit up. “I love you so much, Emily!“ she eximed.


    Soon, Emily came back with a delicate gift box and handed it to Rita. She rolled her eyes at Rita and


    said, “How could I forget you?“


    Rita happily took the gift box and opened it. It was the ne with petals that was designed by Emily.


    It was mainly pink. Rita liked it very much as soon as she saw it. Then, she happily hugged Emily and


    said, “Emily, you are so nice! I knew you wouldn''t forget me!“


    “All right, all right. My three little kids are still taking a nap. Keep your voice down,“ Emily reminded Rita


    while patting her on the back.


    “Humph!“ Rita did not mind Emily''s reminder because she was still too happy about getting one of her


    nes as a gift.


    After lunch, Rita invited Emily to go shopping to celebrate.


    “Jacob, please lend Emily to me for some time. I''ll return her to youter.“ Rita did not forget to ask for


    Jacob''s permission.


    Jacob took a look at Emily and thought that if she went shopping with Rita, she could find time for


    herself to rx. She had been so tired at work over the past few days. She deserved the down time, so


    Jacob nodded and agreed.


    “Oh, yeah! Let''s go, Emily.“ Rita happily took Emily''s hand. They were about to leave when a small


    voice rang in the room.


    “Mommy...“ Beryl and Bowen, who had just woken up for lunch, were unhappy to see their mother


    being taken away.


    Emily turned back tofort them. “Your godmother and I will be back soon. You stay at home with


    Daddy, okay? Otherwise he will be lonely.“


    Beryl and Bowen looked at Jacob, who immediately took the opportunity to cooperate and said, “Will


    you y games here with me?“


    “Hmm...“ After hesitating for a few seconds, the two little kids finally thought that their father really


    needed them to apany him, so they nodded and agreed to stay home with him. But of course,


    they did not forget to tell Emily, “Mommy, you have toe home early.“


    “I will.“ Emily nodded.


    Rita also told the kids, “I will bring you gifts when we get back.“


    “Humph!“ The kids were disappointed that their godmother was taking their mother away.


    “Well...“ Rita felt a little embarrassed.


    After changing her shoes, Emily patted Rita on the shoulder andforted her. “Ignore them. Just


    bring them the gifts you promised, and they will like you again.“


    “Okay.“ Rita felt relieved.


    To celebrate Emily''s sessful new productunch, Rita took her shopping at the mall. As Emily''s best


    friend, she paid for everything that Emily got as reward for her recent sess.


    Emily epted the reward without hesitation.


    Soon, after hopping from one store to another, Rita''s and Emily''s hands were full of different shopping


    bags. However, Rita was not yet satisfied. She still wanted to buy more things.


    “Rita.“ Emily was tired. She caught up with the excited Rita, who was walking fast and did not seem to


    be tired at all. “We''ve bought enough. Let''s go home,“ Emily said. She really could not walk anymore.


    She would rather lie prone on a desk or draw than go shopping some more. She felt so much pain in


    her feet.


    “How can those be enough? We still have a lot of things to buy.“ Rita looked at the bags in their hands


    and seemed to be indicating that they were far from enough.


    “What?“ Emily looked at Rita in horror. “What else do you want to buy?“ They had already bought


    clothes, shoes, bags, cosmetics, and every little thing women deemed essential.
