A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 321

Jacob and his entourage marched toward the exit of the shopping mall, and when he came to the gate, he sensed something important compelling him to turn around for some reason.

As he turned around, his eyes met a cute little girl's eyes looking back at him from upstairs.

The little girl, waved at him with a bright smile on her face and shouted, "Hey! My future boyfriend!"

Jacob paused to think for a moment and then he remembered that she was the little girl from the car who had accosted him just a few days ago. No wonder she looked familiar. Since she was standing far away, Jacob couldn't hear what she was saying, but he could still somehow understand her by reading her lips.

This little girl, dressed in a pink floral dress trimmed with white lace, with her chubby cheeks and her round eyes, brown as sweet chocolate, looked so adorable. She could melt anyone's heart with just a smile.

When she smiled at Jacob, her brown eyes crinkled around the edges, like two crescent moons hanging on her sweet face. Jacob stared at her, blankly, and for reasons unknown to him, he just couldn't help thinking of Emily's eyes, that were forever engraved in his memory, and how similar they looked.

"Mr. Jacob," someone next to him reminded.

Suddenly, Jacob woke up from his half-conscious state. When the little girl sent him a flying kiss from upstairs, he burst into laughter.

Jacob fondly wondered what kind of parents could nurture such a cute and interesting daughter.

Meanwhile, his subordinates around him were astounded by the smile on his face. They had not seen Jacob laugh from the bottom of his heart like that in a few years. It was a rare occurrence and they felt blessed to have been able to witness such a feat with their own eyes. Jacob hardly smiled and even when he did, his smile would bring shivers down everyone's body.

However, at this moment, because of that little girl, Jacob actually produced a genuine laughter from his heart. What an amazing sight!

All his subordinates following him were surprised by his unusual behavior. But next second, Jacob turned around, and the smile on his face had already disappeared, as if it was just an illusion. "Let's go," he said.

Baffled, it took almost a second for them to respond. "Yes, Mr. Jacob," they replied with one voice.

Jacob fought the strange urge to take the adorable girl away with him. Instead, he strode away in his long legs and did not look back anymore. Just when he stepped out of the mall, a woman appeared behind the little girl. It was her mother. The person Jacob thought of every day and night, but unfortunately, she slipped through his fingers again.

"Beryl, why are you running around?" Emily scolded, as she ran towards Beryl with a worried look on her face. She looked her daughter up and down and was relieved to find that Beryl was all right. Emily took a deep breath and continued, "You can't run around by yourself again. There are a lot of bad people outside, they'll take you away and you will never see me again, don't you know?"

"I will never do it again," Beryl replied, and hugged her mother warmly. "Mommy, do you know who I saw just now?" she said excitedly.

Emily's heart skipped a beat, and for reasons unknown to her, she had a bad feeling in her stomach. "Who?" she asked nervously.

"The handsome man from the car next to us," Beryl answered. She recalled Jacob's face with pleasure, and announced loudly, "I've decided to let him be my boyfriend in the future!"

Looking at Beryl's sweet innocent face, Emily's nervousness vanished in an instant. Emily shook her head, wondering whether she should laugh or cry. "What are you talking about?

Do you even know what 'boyfriend' means?" she teased Beryl.

"Of course I know what boyfriend means. My boyfriend will buy me lots of cakes, just like you. He will be very kind to me!" Beryl answered quickly.

"Okay, so where is your boyfriend?" Emily humored her.

Beryl turned around and pointed her little finger at the door of the mall. "He just left, but I'm sure that we'll meet again in the future. We've already met twice! Mommy, he is heaven-sent... He must be my prince!" she said.

Emily didn't take her words to heart, instead she allowed Beryl to enjoy her colorful fantasy. "Okay, the next time you see him, you can introduce him to me. I'm curious to know what the man of your dreams look like," she said in a soft voice.

Then, Emily held Beryl's hand and soon they both went home.

Meanwhile, Jack's secretary had already found out Emily's current address for him. Jack sat on the sofa, hesitating and wondering whether he should go to visit Emily or not.

Naturally, Jack's strange behavior had flagged Jacob's attention. Jack wasn't sure whether he should tell Emily about Jacob. Jacob, however, was not an idiot. Sharp as a tack, Jacob was smart enough to see through Jack's skittish mind clearly. Sooner or later, he would find out the truth.

Although, Emily had changed so much that only a few people could recognize her and be convinced that she was actually Emily, Jacob would be able to recognize her in a heartbeat, just as quickly as Jack had recognized her.
