A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1453

As the old saying went, aged ginger was more pungent. When Hunk used his smooth tactics, the young ones didn't stand a chance.

Standing by the door of the room, Louis wanted to say something, but decided against it. He and Emily were still talking to each other when they noticed their father slowly going downstairs.

"Do you want me to cover for you again?" Emily asked out of kindness. She had no idea if she would be scolded by the old man if she were to interfere.

With a sigh, Louis shook his head. Even though it was just a verbal argument, he still felt drained from that interaction. He didn't even know if it was because of his defeat from his father's insistence or because of his strong desire to protect the woman he loved.

"Are you sure you don't need my help?" Just from observation, Emily could feel how much her brother loved that woman. Even though she really wanted to help, there wasn't much she could do. Taylor was the type of woman who could easily touch others and gain their trust from just a few words. Despite that, it seemed that she was a difficult woman to love.

"Yeah. Thanks, though."

It was the only reply that Louis could give to his sister at that moment. He turned around and went back to his room. When he closed the door again, he found himself thinking of Taylor again. He knew he had to let go of the past, but it was easier said than done. He just felt lost. He still loved Taylor as much as before.

He had turned into a man who had lost his soul. Even his greetings had no life in them. It was as if he had turned into a zombie that mindlessly walked around the earth.

Whenever Louis saw his reflection in Emily's eyes, he could tell that he was no more than just an empty shell. He had no life left in him.

"You should at least buy a gift for Janet. I know you haven't seen each other for quite a long time, but I reckon she will be happy if you bring her a bunch of roses,"

Emily reminded Louis before he left home. Instead of answering, he just dismissively waved his hand and drove away.

Without really giving it any thought, Louis headed towards LX Club.

He could already predict what was going to happen as soon as he arrived at the club. He was sure that his father was going to call him upon his arrival and inform him that he and Janet's father were going to play some golf. Then, they would both leave to go to the golf course together.

It was a predictable plan, but it would mean that Louis and Janet would be forced to eat lunch together. It didn't matter whether they loved each other or not. His father was determined to unite the two families through their marriage.

Fortunately, LX Club wasn't that far from the mall. Once Louis parked the car, he decided to walk to the jewelry store in the mall. Following Emily's advice, he bought a necklace to give to Janet.

When he looked through the glass display of the jewelry store, he thought he saw a familiar figure on the other side of it. He wanted to follow that person, but he didn't know where she went.

"Sir, do you need a gift box for the necklace?"

the saleslady asked politely. Louis felt that maybe he had lost his mind. He nodded slightly at the saleslady. When he walked out of the shop, he happened to pass Taylor, but he thought he was just imagining things.

After he went to LX Club, Janet arrived an hour late, just as he had expected. "I'm so sorry for making you wait."
