Chapter 43: A Real One?

2025-03-09 00:00:22When 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

Emily’s heartbeat raced because it was an unexpected request from Harold. 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.”

Saved by the arrival, Harold grinned at Emily.“We arrived, baby. Let’s talk later, okay?”Tom opened the door for them while the nurses removed the buckles to lift Jason and Mia. Then Tom took a stroller from the baggage and prepared it, so the nurses could put Jason and Mia inside. The stroller was designed for two babies, so it was more practical for everyone.Harold put his hand on the small back of Emily, then they entered the garden. The nurses pushed the stroller slowly behind them.They headed to a secluded area under an oak tree. The tree was a large one as it was planted a century ago.There was a table and four seats nearby. The nurses sat at one side while Harold and Emily were seated on another side.

The woman, Gwen, widened her eyes, then she dramatically exhaled. Later, she pouted and turned her body, walking away from there.Emily glanced at Harold. “Who’s that? What schedule did she mean? Are you supposed to work today with her?”He chuckled as his relationship with Gwen wasn’t working, but he couldn’t reveal it to Emily. “No, not at all.”“Oh …”“What?”“Nothing.”He grinned and asked again, “Are you sure?” He enjoyed teasing her. If she was jealous of Gwen, it meant she had feelings for him.“Yes.”

She blushed as it was the first time he opened her dress buttons when she wanted to breastfeed the twins. Yet, she said nothing.Meanwhile, she fed Mia, Harold took Jason from the stroller and talked with the baby as if his son understood, “Do you think your mommy is the most beautiful woman in the world? I think she is.”The two nurses exchanged smiles because they knew how much their boss loved his wife. So, it wasn’t a new thing.Jason burped and kicked his feet. He smiled and blew his saliva joyfully to hear what his father said.The father chuckled and kissed the baby’s belly. “You are so excited today, huh? Why? Because you enjoy the garden or is it because you can go outside?”

After Jason and Mia’s first birthday, Emily gathered her courage to visit her parents. She instructed the nurses to put on a pink dress for Mia and a blue shirt and trousers for Jason. She was nervous because she didn’t know if her parents would accept her well.With all the mistakes she did: leaving home without telling her parents, not telling them her current location, even putting a secret about her pregnancy, the delivery of the twins, and the father of her children, there were too many mistakes. However, she missed them, and she truly wished they would forgive her.She already discussed with Harold that he would come later. She needed time to talk with her parents first. If her parents accepted her and the twins, then most likely, they would accept him, too. She prayed everything would work well as planned.

“So, what happened?” Daniel asked. “Where have you been and why didn’t you tell us where you were?”“She just came home.” Elsa shook her head. “It can wait.”Emily glanced at her mother, then at her father. Gulping because it was the most difficult time as she had to confess everything, she inhaled deeply. “I’ll tell you everything, but please if you want to be mad at me, wait until I finish.”Daniel and Elsa nodded. “Go ahead, sweetheart,” Elsa said. “Tell us what has happened.”So Emily told her parents about her fear of being Amy’s replacement after hearing Jacob and Tanya’s conversation on the phone, then many of her doubts about Jacob. She didn’t r

I also want to buy something for Pauline. You, too, should buy something for Al.”He closed his eyes, pretending to let out a sigh, but then he opened his eyes again and grinned. “Fine!

Some of Jacob’s staff from JJ’s Properties were there too.Jacob and Al stood outside of the church on a terrace. They could see the parking lot and the church door clearly from their place.He glanced at his wrist many times to see the time.

Emily stared at Jacob and the ring. She bit her lower lip because she didn’t know what to say.Jacob took a deep breath because he wasn’t ready to accept a refusal. Then he forced a smile. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob. So, it’s a yes.”Jacob immediately stood and put the ring on her finger. Then he kissed her lips and hugged her tightly.He laughed and shook his head. “I thought you would say no. I don’t know what I would do if you refused me.”She giggled and cupped his f

Jacob, Jason, and Mia went to a Chinese food bistro. Jacob already ordered by phone various dumplings for them all, wonton soup for Jason, then salt and pepper chicken, stir-fried beef with ginger, Peking duck, and seafood fried noodles.The service was fast. After they arrived, in five minutes, all the food was served. Mia frowned because she didn’t have the wonton soup either.“Dad?”“Yes, sweetheart?”“Why I don’t get the soup?”“It’s because your brother has a cold. Do you want the soup?”The little girl glanced at Jason’s bowl and nodded. So Jacob raised his hand.

The offer is fifty trillion with fifty years of credit and a trillion of payment each year and a trillion for the down payment,” Jacob said.Harold whistled to hear the number, but he knew with various businesses the Gold Cleaner had, fifty trillion was a reasonable price. “Anyone in your team want to enter our boat?”“Nope, they are happy with us.” He was smiling when saying it. “So, it will be purely a facility, land, building, systems, and the networks we will sell and transfer to you.”

Warning: violent scene. Please proceed with precautions for readers sensitive to violent scenes.“You called him too, Al?” Jacob asked. “I also called him back then, but he didn’t pick up the call nor called me back either.” He let out a sigh. “Now we know why.”Al said nothing, but his eyes glared at Stanley. It was an unforgivable act because Stanley’s betrayal cost Art’s life.Jacob’s eyes were chilly when he gazed at Stanley. “You told us earlier that Gold Cleaner is your family and will stay like that. You even said you didn’t want to work under Montgomery and the Silent Syndicate.” Then Jacob added slowly to emphasize his words, “Now we all know it’s all just bullshit!”
