A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1429

Jacob's hands were still full of detergent foam. However, he was careful not to stain Emily's clothes as he put his arms around her. "I'm so happy that I can't control myself. Emily, my Emily...I love you so much," he said, smiling from ear to ear.

Emily felt her heart soften. She gazed at him lovingly and said, "This is the good news. But there is an even better news. Do you want to hear it?"

Jacob gazed back at her, his eyes narrowing a little as he playfully faked confusion. "How is that possible? How can there be news that's better than this? This is the best news for me!"

Emily giggled and told Jacob about her plan to set up a foundation for people suffering from depression.

Suddenly worried, Jacob frowned and said, "It's not difficult to set it up, but you've just recovered from a serious illness. Won't you be too tired? I don't want you to wear yourself out."

Emily hated it when her husband worried about her, so she looked him straight in the eyes and said, "I'm fine."

Then, she learned in and kissed his lips, hoping that it would reassure him.

Slowly losing his head because of the kiss, Jacob swallowed hard. His arms wrapped around her tighter, not wanting to let her go. His wife's face had always been a silent allure for him. She was lovely and beautiful, and he'd never been able to resist her charms. He kissed her back fiercely, pulling her closer to him.

It was not difficult to set up a fund organization with enough money and talents, but there were still trivial details to attend to that took up most of Emily's time.

"The free clinic will open at nine o'clock tomorrow and close at five o'clock in the afternoon. The venue and the personnel have already been arranged." On the other end of the phone was Taylor's confident voice. "Will you come tomorrow?"

"I don't have anything to do tomorrow. I'll be there in the morning," Emily replied. She still had a lot of work to do, including monitoring the status of all the work that was yet to be completed. She flipped through the schedule and asked, "Is the pamphlet for raising awareness on depression ready?"

"Of course, they are getting printed now. I will send them to the venue overnight," Taylor replied.

"That's good," Emily said as she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she added, "Thank you all for your hard work these days. Tomorrow evening, after the medical treatment, I will treat you to dinner!"

Taylor chuckled on the phone. "Well, then I must eat a lot of expensive food!"

After hanging up the phone, Emily sighed again. She rubbed her eyes, which were sore from tiredness, and looked up at Jacob, who stared at her pitifully.

Stunned, Emily asked, "What's wrong?"

In an upset tone, Jacob said, "Well, my wife has been doing a lot of work recently. She's even busier than me these days."

Emily hesitated and, with furrowed eyebrows, asked, "Are you unhappy about that?"

Jacob frowned. "Why would I be unhappy? My wife is doing a great public service. The internet is buzzing with the news, and even the company's stock has risen several percentage points," he said.

However, Emily didn't buy it. "Tell me the truth," she said helplessly.

"You think I'm not telling the truth? Come here, see how others have praised you," Jacob said as he spread out a newspaper in front of Emily. The front page was a huge report about the foundation newly established by her.

Jacob pointed at the article and said in a voice dripping with sarcasm, "'Kind, kind person, ' 'living Bodhisattva, ' 'Buddha in the flesh.' My wife is really great!"

How could Emily not hear the sourness in her husband's voice? It was all around him like an aura. "Tell me, what's wrong?" she prompted again with a sigh.

Jacob snorted. "My wife is so busy right now. She is a successful woman! How can you have time to care about me?" he whined, his voice sounding like that of a child wanting to get his parents' attention.

Emily's patience was growing thin. "If you don't tell me what's wrong now, I won't talk to you anymore," she said.

Feeling defeated, Jacob looked at her and said, "You haven't cooked for me for more than 10 days..."

Indeed, she had been busy with the fund organization these days and neglected Jacob, but it was only now that she realized it. She almost hadn't even realized how many days had passed because of all the work that she had had to do. Her heart softened and she replied, "I'm sorry, I'll cook for you later."

Jacob frowned and added, "You haven't gone out with me in more than 10 days."

"After the free clinic tomorrow, I'll spare two days to spend with you," she replied.

Sure that there was more that Jacob wanted to say, she waited patiently. "And... We... We haven't..." Jacob began to speak, but he suddenly stopped.
