A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 277

Emily was confused at first until she folded her fingers to look closely at her fingernails. Her cheeks got flushed immediately. She mumbled, "Why didn't you just tell that my nails badly needed a trim? Why do you have to speak as if you are going to..." She gulped, feeling more embarrassed.

"Oh dear, you must have misunderstood me," Jacob exclaimed

as he smirked playfully. Emily's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what this man was doing! He had been messing with her and she couldn't help but hit his stomach with her elbow and pout.

"H-Hey," Jacob laughed as he got hit. "Are pregnant women really this violent?"

Emily kept pouting, "Well, if you aren't messing with me, then I won't punch the headlights out of you."

Jacob put his hands up, showing surrender with a helpless smile. "Alright, fine. I'll stop." Then he helped her sit down on the sofa.

Emily didn't expect that Jacob himself would offer to cut her fingernails. She felt so embarrassed that she kept insisting, "Hey, it's okay! I can do that myself!"

"Hey, did you know that pregnancy can make a woman dull and stupid?" Jacob asked with a straight face. Emily looked at him as if he said something outrageous. Jacob didn't stop what he was doing, "Look. You're already very clumsy before you got pregnant. You're going to be more clumsy now that you're pregnant. What if you hurt yourself?"

"Stop teasing me, you dummy, and let me cut my nails," Emily retorted but the other man didn't listen to her. She just rolled her eyes as she let Jacob continue what he was doing. Even though he was teasing her, she felt happiness flood in her system.

Everything felt just fine right now.

"Don't scurry too much!" insisted Jacob, holding her white and slender fingers, and carefully trimmed her nails.

It was obvious that he didn't do such a thing for anyone and one could say he didn't have any experience doing such. At least, he managed to do it gently.

His concentration warmed Emily's heart.

She had thought of this many times but she thanked the heavens for blessing her with such a man like him.

Jacob had soon finished trimming Emily's fingernails.

Suddenly, he knelt down on one knee and put Emily's right foot on his knee.

"That's taking it too far! I'll do it myself!" Emily was getting more and more embarrassed. She tried to move her foot away but Jacob gripped it tightly.

Jacob spoke impatiently, "Don't move, Emily! I won't be at ease if I don't finish this job!" She just sighed and let Jacob trim her toenails too.

"You know, you don't have to do these things for me."

How could she let him trim her toenails? He was the CEO of the Gu Consortium and he was and he was putting his pride too low for her.

Jacob looked up at her and asked, "Well, isn't that what I'm supposed to do?"

"Of course not..." answered Emily.

"Emily, when will you understand that I want to take care of you and do these things out of love? Soon enough, you'll be my wife. What's wrong with what I am doing right now? You know, I have decided to make you my wife and as a husband, it's my duty to take good care of you."

Emily went frozen, trying to process Jacob's words. "Are you sure you are willing to marry a woman like me?"

"I am willing to marry you over and over again in any place you want," Jacob replied, looking straight into her eyes. "Do I need to repeat myself?"

Emily's heart skipped a beat at his words. She once thought that marriage with Jacob was impossible but he made efforts to make it possible. Now it was inevitable that he would be marrying her.

The countdown had begun for their big day.

Emily had never felt such pure bliss!
