Chapter 103 His Second Choice

Emma POV

I was sitting in my office, stressing about the late shipment, when a knock on the door made me put the papers down.

“Come in.” I said, running my fingers through my hair.

The door opened, and Jake walked inside.

“Hey, Jake.” I said, giving him a small smile. “What can I do for you?”

“I’m not here on official business, beautiful.” he said as he sat down on the couch with a huff.

“Is something wrong?” I asked as I stood up and approached him.

He looked up at me and furrowed his

eyebrows.

“Why haven’t I found my mate yet, beautiful?” he mumbled as he took my hand in his.

I sat down next to him and took a deep breath.

This was a question that had bugged him for a while now. He was scared that she died. He was sure that he would never find her. On the other hand, he didn’t want to take a chosen mate. He didn’t want to look at other girls.

I admired it, but I was also worried about him. I didn’t want him to spend his life alone. He was a great guy, and he deserved the best. It saddened me that the Goddess hadn’t given him a mate yet.

“I don’t know, Jake.” I said softly. “I wish

that I could tell you that you will find her soon, but I don’t know that. I want you to be happy. I really do.”

Jake kept his eyes on my hand in his. He played with my fingers absentmindedly.

“Jake?” I called him softly, and he looked up at me.
