A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 62

Emily was still waiting for Jacob to ask her for an explanation; unexpectedly, he had disappeared for a few days and did not come to find her, which came as a relief to her.

Meanwhile, she was getting along with Jack quite well, but she gradually realized that she would never have the same feelings she used to have for him again.

Emily wasn't the same person she once was, and neither was Jack. Did she do the right thing by getting back together with him?

Emily couldn't stop doubting herself.

However, since she had made her choice, she was willing to try and maintain their relationship.

At lunch break, Emily and Jack had lunch together as usual. She was walking behind Jack, slowly, when she noticed one long strand of hair on his shoulder.

Emily calmly picked up the strand of hair and asked,"Jack, what's this?"

Jack turned around and squinted his eyes, as if to observe that hair carefully. He smiled heartily and replied,"It's just a strand of hair. You must have left it on me."

Emily nodded, holding that hair between her fingers lightly,"Maybe..."

"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Jack was dissatisfied with her answer, but he brushed her hair gently with his hand and whispered,"I only have one woman, and that's you. I hope you wouldn't misunderstand me."

"I was just asking." Emily didn't say anything more.

During lunchtime, Jack left for the washroom, and left his phone on the table.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated as a new message had popped up on the screen.

Emily did not have a habit of checking her boyfriend's phone, but this time, she couldn't resist the temptation and picked up Jack's phone to check.

The new message had come from an unknown number. It was quite short, only with one sentence: I miss you.

Emily swallowed, nervously, not knowing what to think. When she was about to put the phone back, a person's hand patted her on the shoulder.

"Peeking at my messages, huh?"

Jack was just joking, but when he saw the look on Emily's face, he immediately looked at the phone, only to see that message on the screen.

He became nervous, and overwhelmed with fear. "A message?"

Emily put down the phone and looked up right into his eyes. It seemed like she was waiting for an explanation.

Jack attempted to explain, as if it was nothing,"Rose has been harassing me lately, texting me all kinds of messages every day, but trust me, I didn't reply to her, not even once."

He spoke confidently and declared himself right away, suggesting that it was not a big deal.

Her doubts were dispelled eventually. Looking into Jack's eyes, Emily licked her lip and replied,"I trust you."

'But you'd better live up to my trust.'

Jack seemed guilty when he looked into Emily's eyes. A slight sense of insecurity skimmed over her heart, but it faded within seconds.

He raised his left eye-brow, and changed the topic quickly. "There will be a feast in a few days. Would you like to come with me?"

"Would it be appropriate for me to attend such a feast? I don't think that's a good idea."

"What's wrong about it?" Jack smiled mischievously,"You are my girlfriend. If you won't be my partner, where will I find another one?"

After a moment's consideration, she nodded her head and agreed.

The welcoming feast, in honor of the daughter of the Tao clan, finally came a few days later.
