Chapter 38: Trying to Find Emily and a Doubt
Last Updated:
2025-03-06 12:00:35Jacob took the picture in his pocket to see Emily once again. She sat in a garden with a hand protectively on her stomach. She looked radiant and peaceful.
He missed her more than he wanted to admit, but it was shocking to see her pregnant. Was Gwen right? Was Emily pregnant with another man’s baby? What if it’s his?
His thumb caressed her face in the picture. Then he tried to analyze the surroundings. It could be everywhere because nothing was unusual he could recognize to help identify the place. However, his mind wandered to what Harold said.
It was obvious Gwen and Harold knew each other. It was possible Gwen worked for Harold. Also, Emily used Montgomery’s Express on the day she ran away. Was Emily with Harold? Could it be that the baby was Harold’s?

He also waited for Al to call him because he wanted to meet with Emily soon.When Al called, Jacob immediately picked it up. “Yes, Bro?”“After I checked again, the garden is a garden in Argentina, but the problem is it was an edited picture.”“What?!”“Both Emily’s picture and the garden picture are real, but they were mixed together.”Jacob blew his breath. “So, it’s enough to conclude Emily isn’t in Argentina.”“Yes, I don’t think she’s there. If she were there, they wouldn’t n

Harold froze to hear what Emily said. He didn’t expect her to say yes. In fact, he prepared himself to convince her with many things in the hope she would finally accept his proposal.Since he said nothing, she put her hand on his cheek. “Harold, what’s wrong? Did you hear what I said?”“I did.”“Say something.”He grinned, then bent his head forward and captured her lips in a tender kiss. “You make me the happiest man, baby.”“But I only agreed to what you said.” She bit her lower lip and whispered, “A fake marriage?” Her voice trembled as she was uncertain if it was what Harold truly asked.

Harold bent his head forward to whisper in Emily’s ear. “The woman who just left is classy. I’ll tell you the complete story later.”Emily nodded and smiled at her husband. She was curious but their marriage was just an arrangement for giving a public appearance. So she didn’t want to ask further. Yet, these women’s envy toward her was obvious.Before Emily could say something, a woman who sat next to Harold said, “Despite your being a married man, I wonder if we can still spend some time together.” She even dared to squeeze Harold’s thigh.He immediately stood. “Change seats with me, baby?” he whispered in Emily’s ear.Emily raised her eyebrow but did what he asked. The woman’s audacity

When they were already in the car, Emily leaned her head to the seat and closed her eyes because she was exhausted. Talking, smiling, and trying to bring herself as Harold’s wonderful wife was such a hard chore.She didn’t lie to the women when she said she was sure Harold was serious with her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t say yes to him. Yet, paying a role as his actual wife was draining.They sat on a limousine, and Tom, Harold’s driver, already set the car partition down so the newly wed could have privacy.She sighed because Harold’s hand massaged her shoulder. But then, when his hand moved to her bosom, she gulped.While holding his hand, she shook her head. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want this …. It’s

She said nothing because she didn’t want to create suspicion from the nurse.Then Harold lifted her into his arms and grinned toward the nurse. “Madam and I need alone time. Please watch our babies.”“Yes, sir,” the nurse said.He brought Emily to their bed because they would sleep in the same room according to their agreement. He locked the door and removed his tuxedo.Emily gulped because she was nervous. Harold striped his shirt too, so he was now bare chest.When he saw Emily’s blushing cheeks, he grinned. “Like what you see, baby?”

Emily woke up to see Harold wasn’t next to him. She put her hand on the bed where he slept before, only to feel the sheet was cold. So he possibly awoke much earlier.Recalling their conversation last night, she wasn’t sure she could come to love him in a year. Yes, he was handsome, rich, powerful, but also kind, trustworthy, and caring. She was foolish not to love him, but she was afraid to love again.Having Jason and Mia in her life was enough for her. Love wasn’t a priority anymore because her consideration was more to see her children grow well and happily. But then, would loving Harold make their lives better?She let out a long sigh because it was another question she couldn’t answer right away. Harold had already done so many things for her and the twins, but she couldn’t

His tenderness and sweetness were something that made her feel so much guilt. She wanted so much to fall in love with him, to return his love, regardless of what he said earlier.Harold had never forced her to do something against her will. For that, she was grateful. Even when he seduced her, and she said no, he would stop.Emily sighed and closed her eyes. Why should she know Jacob first? She even didn’t know her feelings toward her ex-fiance anymore, yet she hated it to create a wall between her and Harold.He squeezed her hand. “What’s wrong, my dear?”She opened her eyes and shook her head. “I … I just thought if we knew each other first, it would make things easier.”

“Are you serious?” Jacob raised his eyebrow. “If you are interested in our business, the underworld ones, I would talk with others first.”“Right. You can’t make a crucial decision on your own.”“Indeed.” Jacob tapped his fingers on the table, trying to think. After a while, he said, “I can’t make an exact calculation for now because at first, I must get others’ approval first. But if we want to sell the businesses to you, our financial chiefs must work to prepare the business transaction offers. Of course, it’s after getting all leaders’ approvals.

Knowing later Emily was pregnant, it was like a second chance with me. I fell in love with her gradually, but with the twins, it was love at first sight.” He looked at the sky again. “They were so small, but then they filled my heart with love. The moment I saw them, I knew I would do anything to protect them.”“Including giving your name?”“It’s the smallest thing I could do for them.

Probably he wants to wait for the patient.”“Thank you.” Jacob then glanced at the twin. “I’ll go inside. You two wait here, okay?”“Yes, Dad,” Jason said. Mia nodded, saying nothing.He crossed the hall and walked in the direction where Harold had left before.
