A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 325

Jack, guilt-ridden, answered, "No! I just wanted to give Beryl a surprise. I didn't mean to..."

Grim-faced, Emily said, "My Beryl doesn't need your surprise. And she will not accept a puppy you snatched from who knows where. So spare me the drama."

"Well, then, I will take it back," answered Jack. However, Jack was afraid that the dog would bite him again if he took it back.

"That's entirely up to you," she answered. Emily turned around and let Beryl in the house without further delay.

"Wait! Wait! Miss Lu!" implored Jack, as he quickly wedged his hand between the closing door and its frame. He sincerely begged, "I just want to apologize for what I said last time. It was too abrupt and offensive. I'm sorry for..."

Emily glanced at his wounded arm, and without a care in the world, she said, "Go away!"

"No!" Jack persisted. Disregarding Emily's displeasure towards his determination, he threatened, "If you do not forgive me, I will not move from here."

With a deadpan expression on her face, Emily slowly pulled the door inwards, pressing his hand tightly. "Go!" she demanded.

"No!" Jack refused again. It was as if all shame and dignity had abandoned him. "Even if my hand breaks, I won't move from here," he said, confidently.

Jack thought that Emily would give in to him by now, but he forgot that she was no longer the woman she used to be. She wasn't going to entertain his bluffs and deceptions anymore.

Without a warning, Emily slammed the door shut!

"Ah!" screamed Jack. Although, the pain wasn't bad enough, he cried out loud just to escalate the situation. In doing so, he assumed he could somehow evoke Emily's compassion.

Such a pity, that didn't work either!

"Zoe, get him out of here right now," commanded Emily.

As soon as Emily's orders registered in her head, the babysitter pushed Jack away without hesitation. "Sir, you'd better leave now," Zoe suggested.

Then she whispered, "Otherwise, Miss Lu will resent you more." Jack froze for a second and drew his hand back. Emily closed the door on him without hesitation. "Bang!"

Emily's cold voice passed through the door, "I hope Mr. Jack will stop bothering me from now on. I'll move out of here in a few days."

"Miss Lu! Cloris!" screamed Jack, as he knocked at the door. After a short while, he stopped knocking as he didn't want her to resent him any more than she already did. Jack stood in front of the door and frowned at the puppy.

Jack furrowed his eye-brows and said to the puppy, "I thought you would be of great help to me, but things just keep getting worse and worse."

Leaning at the door, in despair, he sighed and thought of his next plan.

It was not good that Emily was getting more and more irritated with him.

'What should I do?' Jack wondered.

'Should I continue to help her with her career? Nah, it's too obvious. It could easily backfire. Should I try to impress Beryl? I'm afraid that the little girl hates me as much as her mother does, ' Jack despaired.

Why was it so hard to believe him? Jack had developed a skull-splitting headache trying to come up with a solution.

When he lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the wound on his arm, his eyes suddenly lit up. Jack shouted, "Cloris, open the door! I'm bleeding. It hurts so much! Please!"

Jack's tone was completely exaggerated. He groaned painfully as he patted the door, and screamed, "It's hurt so much. Could you help me, at least let me in to have a seat?"

Alas, nobody in the house answered his desperate cries.

Regardless of his lack of audience, Jack continued his dramatic performance. "Please! Open the door, or I will die in front of your house..." he shouted.

Meanwhile in the living room, Emily was busy processing long beans, completely unaware of Jack's whining, and the babysitter was cooking in the kitchen.

Beryl looked at her mother and then looked towards the door. She tumbled over in her slippers, carrying a chair with both hands. She slowly placed the chair behind the door and climbed up to see.

"Beryl, stop! It's dangerous!" exclaimed Emily. Her eyes were filled with disapproval and concern.
