A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 320

"Okay then, let's go now and I'll buy you your strawberry cake," Emily kissed Beryl's little face and kept her in her arms as they walked towards the cake shop.

"Mommy, I can walk on my own," Beryl insisted as she struggled to get out of Emily's arms. She didn't want her mommy to get tired.

Emily put her down and held her little hand. She said,"Okay!"

When they arrived at the cake shop, Beryl was amazed at how many cakes there were. She had a tangled expression on her face as she decided among the cakes which one she was going to get.

But her mommy only promised to buy her one so she was going to choose just one.

After looking through all the cakes, Beryl finally decided on a pinks strawberry cream cake but she still looked longingly at the other cakes on display.

Emily reminded her,"Beryl, you can only buy one."

"I know I'm just looking," Beryl said as she stared at all the other cakes.

Emily laughed as she headed towards the counter to pay.

Beryl took another look but she realized that the longer she stared at the cakes, the more she wanted to buy. And since she couldn't resist it anymore, she decided to wait outside the cake shop.

A beautiful woman dressed fancily was hurrying by and didn't notice Beryl standing there. Her bag slipped off her shoulder knocking over the cake Beryl was holding.

"Oh, no!" Beryl exclaimed She was so surprised that she exclaimed,"My cake!" in German instead of Chinese.

"I'm sorry! But I can give you money to buy another one," the woman said. She understood German. Although she was apologizing, there was no trace of it on her face. "Here, is this enough?" she asked

as she handed Beryl a stack of hundred-yuan RMB.

Beryl looked up at her with her pure and innocent eyes. She answered slowly in Chinese,"No, I don't need your money."

This little girl had a pair of bright and big eyes, her nose was upturned, and her mouth was cherry red - she was just like a porcelain doll. She looked oriental but why was she speaking German?

For some reason, Jennifer resented this little girl that stood in front of her. Maybe, it was because she reminded her of Emily.

But she wasn't about to haggle with this girl - she wasn't that petty. Jennifer just said,"This is enough to buy you more than one cake, so just take it."

"Sorry, we don't need that. We can afford to buy our own." An indifferent voice came which oddly enough rung familiar to Jennifer.

Jennifer froze when she looked up at the woman who had just come out,"You... you..." she stammered.

Emily walked over and took Beryl in her arms,"What's going on?"

Beryl pouted and grumbled,"She knocked my cake over and tried to give me money to try to..."

She paused trying to think of the word,"To belittle me!"

Coldness replaced the gentleness in Emily's eyes. She raised her eye brows and glared at Jennifer and spoke harshly,"Well, it seems as if this lady is used to just handing out cash like candy."

Jennifer always held her pride first and she always thought of herself so highly in order to hide her dark and evil side.

Nonetheless, Jennifer lost all her poise and grace when she saw Emily. She was so shocked, and she was stammering,"Emily! Wha-what are you doing here? Are-aren't, aren't you...? Dead? Wh-why? Wh-why are yo-you here?"

She was too shocked to speak in complete sentences.
