A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 47

Emily was not sure whether Jacob was angry or not, so she quickly ended the topic,"Well...

It's getting late, good night."

"Good night."

Jacob's voice sounded deep and captivating. After a while, he added,"You can call me whenever you want, even if you're feeling down."

Emily paused, and then hung up without saying anything else.

The next day, at noon, Emily returned to her home again.

Her father's attitude had suddenly made a complete U-turn. He was surprisingly nice to her this time,"Emily...well, I had too much to drink yesterday. Don't take what I said to heart. Is your face still hurting?"

Emily was nonplussed. She replied,"It's all right...

Are you hiding something from me again?"

Mr. Bai coughed uncomfortably. "What are you trying say?"

Emily was suspicious of his change in attitude. It was too fast and abrupt. She spontaneously assumed he was keeping something from her.

Debby also added,"Emily, I had a talk with your father yesterday. He was just confused and highly intoxicated. He knows he was wrong. Can you forgive him?"

Emily decided to let it go since her dad had offered to be nice. More than anything else, she just wanted her family to be harmonious and happy.

They had lunch together and spent the next few hours catching up. The three of them avoided talking about what had happened yesterday.

Later at night, Emily found out about their true intentions when she went out for a walk with Debby and saw Jack.

Debby smiled as soon as she saw Jack. "I'll give you two a moment to have a chat."

"Mom, I don't want to talk to him."

Emily turned around to follow her mother, but Jack caught her hand on from behind.

"Emily, listen to me. It's normal for a couple to have a quarrel with each other from time to time, but sometimes you need to be a little considerate. A man as good as Jack is hard to come by..."

Emily took a deep breath and explained impatiently,"Mom, I'm not quarrelling with him. We have already broken up!"

Debby frowned and continued,"I'm certain that you two can work it out amongst yourselves. I can see that Jack loves you very much..."

"Mom, you don't understand..."

Agitated, Emily looked at Debby with dissatisfaction. She finally understood why her parents were acting strange all day. The reason behind it all was, Jack.

"I don't understand you young people. I'm sure you can talk about it amongst yourselves..."

Debby gave Emily a gentle nudge and trotted away.

Emily was also about to leave when Jack stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Emily, don't go."

Emily struggled, but couldn't get rid of his grip so she turned around and said,"Jack, why are you here?

Do not say that you are here for me."

"Of course I am here for you."

Jack admitted it directly. Somehow he found out that that Emily was returning to Haicheng City, so he came here secretly from D City to meet her.

"Jack, why are you chasing after me? What's your plot here?"

"Plot? Do you think I have a plot against you?" Jack's face frowned in utter disappointment. "If I didn't feel so strongly about you, I wouldn't have humbled myself before you like this!"

"If you really loved me, you wouldn't have slept with other women!

You don't even have the most basic loyalty to be a man. Don't even try to talk about you loving me. You don't deserve me!"
