"Hey, are you ignoring me on purpose?" Jennifer glared at Jacob. She didn't expect that kind of response from him.
Jacob only spoke flatly, devoid of any emotion, "Oh, hello, Jennifer."
Jennifer finally smiled, "Jacob, it's been a while. How have you been?"
"It's quite long, isn't it?" said Jacob, still not showing any expression.
Emily gulped as she watched them interact with each other. It really looked like they went long back.
She felt uncomfortable and tightened her grip at Jacob's hand, "Jacob, is.. she your fiancee?"
Not letting Jacob reply, Jennifer spoke up first, "I told you not to mind what Uncle Gu had said. He always preferred the misfits."
Emily frowned, "But that's not what you said earlier."
"Ah, Jacob, your girlfriend might have misunderstood us. Could you clear things up for her?" Jennifer kept an innocent smile like a little girl who was hiding what she did wrong.
Emily felt a bit of distress.
Jacob didn't find anything wrong as he held Emily's hand back, "Emily, Jennifer is just my friend, not fiancee; so please don't be jealous."
"That's correct, and even if I was once called Jacob's fiancee, it was back in our childhood. So does it really matter now?" Jennifer interjected.
Jennifer wanted to make it clear to Emily that she and Jacob were just childhood friends. They treated each like siblings and there was nothing beyond that.
Hearing what Jennifer said, Jacob frowned slightly and looked at Emily. Emily's distrusting gaze turned into a warm smile, "Ah that explains it. You only mentioned that now."
Jacob could not help feeling disappointed because he thought that when Jennifer explained it, Emily would be jealous.
Jennifer was used in playing tricks so she pretended to be shocked, "I thought we couldn't get along because of a misunderstanding. Let us not mind that now. At least, we cleared it up now, right?"
"Well, I trust Jacob," said Emily. Emily smiled and looked up at Jacob gently, hugging his arm a bit.
Jacob felt so happy as he embraced her in his arms; and suddenly he glimpsed at the tea and said, "You know, you shouldn't be drinking tea right now."
Emily's eyes slightly widened, looking innocent, "I didn't drink anything, dear."
ay from her?
"Ouch!" Jennifer screamed loudly, quickly catching the couple's attention.
Emily asked with worried eyes, "What's wrong?"
Jennifer bent down slightly and pressed her ankle with hand as she frowned, "I think I have sprained my foot. Ouch! Jacob, may I go to the hospital with you?"
The couple looked at each other as they didn't have any reason to refuse her.
Jennifer's ankle swollen and carefully lifted her injured foot, hopping towards the couple. "Come on. Let me go to the hospital with you."
Upon seeing this, Emily felt guilty for doing nothing. She broke herself out from Jacob's arms and went to Jennifer.
Emily was kind of suspicious since there was a possibility that Jennifer had hurt herself on purpose. But her kindness prevailed her thoughts.
"Jacob, can you put me down and help Miss Jennifer?" said Emily.
Jacob sighed, furrowing his brows. But he finally heeded Emily's words.
"There should be medicine in the mansion," Jacob spoke.
Jennifer interrupted, "You know what? I sprained my ankle and it's better if I go to the hospital because it might be something fatal. You think I am going to be a third wheel between you two?"
"Yes," Jacob answered directly.
Jennifer was shocked at his answer then crossed her arms with her nose in the air, pouting, "Fine! You don't need to tell me that I'm lonely and single as a pringle!"
After saying that, she suddenly felt someone lift her up. Her eyes widened because it was Jacob.
