A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 328

Emily pulled her hand back in disgust. She glanced to her side, only to find a familiar tall figure. She stood there stiffly, knowing fully well who it was.

It was Jacob who was walking towards her.

He seemed to have lost a lot of weight. His cheeks looked a little sunken, and his eyes were rimmed in dark shadows. Yet he was still as charming. He was pale, and his eyes, dark as night, held too many emotions.

He was rushing towards her, but in her eyes, each of his steps was slow and calculated, as if each step was pressing against his heart and causing him pain.

They finally met again.

Jack soon noticed that something was wrong with Emily. He followed her line of sight and frowned as he saw who was approaching.

"Jacob, what are you doing here at a time like this?" he asked.

He narrowed his eyes and grabbed Emily by her waist. "Cloris," he whispered tenderly.

His heart pounded loudly. He was so nervous he could feel cold sweat trickling down his temples. He was certain Cloris was Emily, but he was unsure whether she can still remember her past.

"What if she still remembers Jacob?" he thought.

Jack tightened his hold on Emily. His nerves were shot in fear of what he knew. She looked at him with furrowed brows, trying to escape his grasp. All of sudden, a hand pulled Jack away.

"Get away from her!" Jacob yelled, dragging Jack away from Emily.

Jack glared at him and shouted. "What the hell are you doing?" He was furious at Jacob. His eyes were blazing as he stared at him.

But Jacob was not paying attention to him at all as his eyes were fixed on Emily. He tightened his lips, unsure of what to say.

His heart was pounding so loudly it might explode. In his mind, he knew that he had a lot to say. But looking at Emily now, he couldn't even say a word.

Emily looked at him with hatred in her eyes. Her hands formed fists in her pockets. They were closed so tightly that her nails were digging into her palms.

For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. All they could see in each other's eyes were themselves.

Jacob bathed in the silence but he couldn't keep it in any longer and called her out. "Emily."

Emily's lips quivered slightly. But instead of talking to Jacob, she turned to Jack. "Didn't you say you wanted to have dinner with me?"

Jack was taken aback but he reacted quickly. "Yes, what would you like for dinner? I'll book a table for us." He felt relieved that Emily took up his invitation.

Emily shrugged slightly. "Whatever you want," she responded emotionlessly.

"Okay." Jack nodded. He was extremely happy that he didn't mind Emily's obvious dull expression. With a smile on his face, Jake turned to Jacob, who looked at their exchange with frustration. "Jacob, as you can see, you have the wrong person. Please don't make this mistake again. Otherwise, Cloris and I would feel very uncomfortable and troubled because of it."

He had purposely made his statement vague, as if to imply that he was dating Emily.

The words stung Jacob, and Jack's arrogant tone just made him angrier. "Do you think I don't know what you're playing, Jack? You're just trying to mess with me."

Jack scoffed. "Mess with you? Are you that paranoid? Why would I waste my time with you? Right now, I have more important things to do." He approached Jacob, standing uncomfortably close to him. In a low voice, he said, "I am seeing someone now. And if that annoys you, just go and find someone who looks like Emily."

"Don't lie to me," Jacob seethed. Seeing that Emily was about to leave, Jacob moved unconsciously, wanting to chase after her.

Jack blocked his path. "I don't know what you're thinking but know this. Cloris hates being mistaken as someone else. When you called her Emily, you just crossed the line. She doesn't want to talk to you."
