The Spoiled Girl

In the CEO office of the KING Group, Darren sat comfortably in his chair with a contented grin on his face.

Harlan was telling him about what had happened to Jacob the past few days. Darren learned that Jacob was having trouble with his wife and that his attention was obviously diverted from work. The fact that his sworn rival was temporarily out of the picture pleased Darren and made him feel somewhat relieved.

With a great opportunity in front of him, Darren gave an order to Harlan. "Since Jacob is busy with his marriage, we have to use this time to speed up the development of the company as soon as possible. I need you to keep an eye on all departments. Make sure nothing goes wrong during this advantageous position we currently hold."

Harlan nodded and replied, "Yes, Mr. Xu. Jacob is quite a terrifying business rival, so I'll try to think of something to add to his problems so that he completely forgets about us. You can count on me."

Darren then added, "Jonas isn't a simple man. We can't trust him. Someday, he might pose a threat to us. Although he seems like a good-natured man, we can't let our guard down."

Harlan found what Darren said to be quite reasonable. He nodded in agreement once again. "I'll get someone to take a look at this Jonas. I want to make sure that he doesn't become a threat to us as well."

Meanwhile, in his office, Jacob shouted in a fit of rage. "Jonas! Jonas again! Damn that man! Why does he have to ruin everything? Emily is spending more time taking care of that man in the hospital than me! It honestly feels like she has forgotten that she has a husband!"

There wasn't any time to fix their problems with each other since she was always at the hospital. And when she was at home, Emily would act as if Jacob wasn't even there since things hadn't been patched up between them.

In the past, Jacob could endure being ignored by Emily. After all, he wasn't a clingy man. But now, the situation was completely different. Another man was the cause of his wife's standoffish behavior. This made Jacob want to play some dirty tricks of his own.

The main reason why Jacob's career had developed as fast as it had was that he never second guessed himself. He always did what he wanted, no matter what it was as long as he believed that it was a good idea. His confidence had been his greatest strength over all those years.

And at that moment, he knew that he needed to use the confidence that he had picked up from the grueling business world to his advantage. A plan was starting to b

go? This might be his only chance in a long time to be alone with his wife.

It had taken him a lot of work just to get her to care for him once again. By all means, he wouldn't let it slip through his hands, especially after having a taste of what it felt like. Additionally, their problems before hadn't even been ironed out. How could he possibly let another misunderstanding between them take place one more time?

"Honey!" Just as Emily turned around, Jacob sat up and gave her a loving embrace. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you. I just wanted to be pampered by you, even if it's just by a little bit. We haven't talked in so long. Right now, I'm even willing to endure the most horrible disease just to..."

"Stop your nonsense!" As soon as Emily realized that this man was about to say something stupid, she struggled to quickly covered his mouth with her hands. She then exclaimed, "Don't you dare say those words."

'My wife really does care about me, ' Jacob thought to himself at that moment.

At the thought of this, he tightened his embrace around Emily. Afterward, he puckered his lips and kissed Emily's little hand that was covering his mouth.

"You!" Emily was completely startled and quickly withdrew her hand. She added, "What do you think you're doing?"

No matter how long the two had been married, such small actions would always make her blush.

The atmosphere in the ward was no longer tense. Jacob felt the woman in his arms gradually give in to him. He really wanted to enjoy this moment of rare intimacy, but on second thought, he wanted to take this opportunity to explain his side of the story. Such a time for romance would come again, wouldn't it?
