A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 382

Ina served breakfast on the table.

Jacob just took one bite at Beryl's request and his lips frowned as he looked at Emily and said, "Your cooking is better.

Why don't you cook something for me?"

Jacob looked at her with great expectations, but Emily smiled and put a damper on his mood, "You wish! I haven't cooked for a long time."

"I can cook for you!" said Jacob enthusiastically, sounding more excited rather than disappointed.

Beryl broke into applause, and she cheered, "Dad, I didn't know you could cook. That's so cool!"

Jacob was very satisfied with Beryl's reaction, "Dad will cook for you every day."

Emily was amazed at the strong chemistry Jacob and Beryl shared with each other. Their father-and-daughter relationship warmed her heart.

"If we go to the beach today, will we be in a rush?" asked Emily.

"No, I have gotten everything done. We just need to go," Jacob answered.

"But I haven't set my work up..." Emily looked for excuses, but she changed her mind after Beryl gave her the puppy-dog eyes, pouting her bottom lip ever so slightly. "Okay. I will make some calls and set it up."

"Mom, how nice of you!" Beryl let her face flood with a smile and she clapped her little hands, pulsing on her toes.

Who could refuse such a cute and adorable child?

After making arrangements for her work, Emily agreed to set out. She didn't need to bother about anything else except for her essentials because Jacob had prepared for everything else.

Emily snuggled up with Beryl inside Jacob's car. Little did they know that someone was watching them secretly from a distance until they drove away.

"How long do I have to wait?" Fists clenched, burning rage flowed through Jack's body like boiling lava, as he helplessly watched the three of them drive away together. Despite Jack's placid temperament, he twitched occasionally, as if his eyes would burst wide awake. Deep in his heart, he couldn't wait to step forward and separate them!

Sitting next to Jack, Mr. Gu, with a cane in one hand and the other covering his mouth, coughed intentionally to get Jack's attention. He looked at Jack with a little contempt and said, "Lack of forbearance in such small matters can upset great plans. All this for a woman. Is she worth your worries?"

Mr. Gu's bad health was a constant reminder that his age had caught up with him. It also reminded him of why he had to be careful of Jacob. Mr. Gu thought very little of Jacob after they had a falling out. No matter at what cost, he could not let his power fall into Jacob's hands.

However, his heir apparently was his only grandson, Jack. Even if Jack was weak and unfit to take over his empire, he could still groom Jack.

Unfortunately, Jack was too naive in comparison to Jacob.

"Forbearance? You want me to forbear?"

Jack sneered. Emily could end up being with Jacob if he continued to forbear. So how could he willingly continue to forbear?

Mr. Gu coughed again, "If you want to get what you want, you must be patient until the time comes when you are powerful enough to strike your enemy."

"Jack, remember this. Anger without control is meaningless."

"Bang!" Jack slammed his fist on the hood of the car and his face darkened. "You are right," he said to his grandfather.

......

Emily thought that they were just going to the closest beach, but to her surprise, Jacob had scheduled a trip overseas. She was fooled into boarding the plane and by the time she realized what was happening, it was already too late.
