Chapter 72: Build the Relationship
Last Updated:
2025-03-23 12:00:24The next day, Jacob sent a text message to Emily because he wanted to meet with his children. ‘Emily, I want to meet with Jason and Mia. Can I buy them ice cream?’ At first, he only wanted to use his children to approach Emily, but after interacting with them, he liked Jason and Mia and wanted to build a relationship with them.
Yet, Emily didn’t reply, so he waited for a half hour. Still, she hadn’t replied yet. So, he called her number. In the second ring, she picked up the phone.
“I told you to text me! Why do you call?”
“If you replied to my text, I wouldn’t call you.”
She groaned and talked to herself in her mind to stay calm. “Fine. I’ll read your text and reply.”

He held her chin and smiled because of how nervous she was. “Tell me something.”“What?”“Why are you so nervous when I’m near you?”“Because you treat me as if we were close.” She glared at him.Jacob grinned because his plan to taunt her worked well. “Of course we are close. You were my ex-fiancee, and we almost wedded at church, remember?” Then he patted his finger to his chin. “Ah, we also had two adorable children to prove how close we were.”“Jacob, what do you want?” she asked.“I want to get back what’s mine. You and my children are mine.”

“Why?” she asked. “You didn’t know me at all back then. Why did you change your mind?” Then she gulped. “Because my face reminded you of Amy?” Even after almost three years, recalling the past was still hurtful.“How do you know that?” He creased his forehead.She bit her lower lip and let out a long sigh. “When we …. When we …” She couldn’t continue her words. Her face was crimson because she remembered their lovemaking.However, he understood what she meant. So, he helped her by continuing her words, “When we made love, and what?”“Yes, you called me Amy.”He shook his head. “No, it’s i

“Mommy?” Jason asked.“Yes, sweetheart?”“Do you still love him?”Emily took a deep breath because she didn’t expect to get such a question from her son. “Why do you ask?”Her son stared at her for a second. “Well, from the TV, I saw a movie that daddy and mommy love each other. That’s why they could have babies. Mr. Jefferson and Mommy had Mia and me, so you loved each other, right?”It was a flawed logic, but Emily smiled to follow her son’s thought. Jason was intelligent, much more than the average children of his age.She reached out her hand to caress his head. “Yes, it’s true.”

When they would go home, Mia clung to Jacob, unwilling to let go of his hand.“Dad, will you visit us again?” she asked.“Of course, sweetheart, but maybe next week.”“Dad, why don’t you stay with us?” the little girl asked again.Jacob grinned to hear such an innocent question. “Well, if your daddy isn’t at home, I can stay there.”The little girl was quiet as she pondered Jacob’s answer. “Mommy, why don’t we stay with Dad?”Emily gasped because she didn’t expect her daughter to say that. “Mia, don’t say that.”“Why not?

Emily stood and said to Jacob, “Will you excuse me? I got a call to take.” Then she walked inside to the living room. “Yes, Harold?”“Baby, let’s go outside tonight. It’s been a while since we haven’t gone to dinner. Just the two of us. What do you think?”“Sure. I’ll tell the nurses to look after Jason and Mia.”“Yeah, I’ll bring something for them. Will Mia love a castle with a princess and a prince inside?” He was talking about a set of castles with a prince and princess who lived in the castle. It was a new toy set that many little girls liked.But then Emily shook her head. “No, Mia is still too little to have that kind of toy. Besides, we spoiled her too much.&rdqu

She wanted to experiment if Harold would treat her better if she tried to make him think she was a bit like Emily with the wig.So she waited until he awoke. Harold was disoriented at first because he forgot where he was. After a few seconds, he remembered he was in another suburb house with Gwen. Yet, when he saw the brown hair, he couldn’t stop thinking that it was Emily.“Baby?”Gwen grinned and lay on her position without moving or saying something.

Emily was worried because Harold hadn’t gone home last night. She waited for him all night long until she was asleep on the living room couch. She wondered if she should apologize to him.Jacob’s words crossed her mind as if he mocked her. He was right. Harold was a normal guy who had sexual needs. If she denied him for years, he might have someone to fulfill the needs, but she only wished it wasn’t true.When her phone rang several times to show there were some text messages, she immediately reached for it because she wondered if Harold might text her. However, when she saw the message, she almost dropped her phone because the pictures were of his naked husband with a naked woman. No words were in the messages.Her husband was asleep, but the nakedness had already told her why he didn&

Knowing Harold’s betrayal changed everything. Emily even considered if it was enough reason to divorce him or to hurt him back by going to Jacob and accepting his third option.However, after she could calm herself, she knew it wasn’t a suitable solution. It could create an additional problem. If she wanted to hurt Harold by cheating on him, she was the same, even worse than him because she already felt how hurt it was to know her husband was unfaithful to her.Despite hearing his confession that it was only for sex, she couldn’t accept it. She pondered about what she had to do to the point she frequently became absentminded.Jason, as he was observant, immediately discovered it. “Mommy?”“Yes, sweetheart?”

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.

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.”

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!”
