A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1422

The two children, Beryl and Bowen, looked at each other and just stood there, unsure what to do. They seemed to have been paralyzed on the spot. Their mother, whom they had been thinking of day and night, stood in front of them. Looking at her beloved children, Emily slowly squatted down. Her mouth was dry, but she was able to blurt out five affectionate words. "I've missed you so much."

Almost at the same time, Taylor and Louis sighed with relief. The children suddenly threw themselves into their mother's arms. Emily showered them with kisses as she cried a river of happy tears.

Taylor felt a comforting warmth spread through her chest like the first rays of sunshine in early spring. Louis smiled and secretly texted Jacob the good news.

Jacob was in a meeting when he got Louis' message. He smiled and wished he could be there with his wife and children. He dismissed the meeting with a wave of his hand and announced that there would be an employee bonus of ten percent for the month. Sam stood confused next to him with a lot of documents in his hands. 'He must have heard some good news about Mrs. Gu to give away bonuses just like that, ' he thought.

Jacob went to see Emily at once. The children immediately ran to him when he arrived and demanded the reason for his long absence. Louis piled on, and Jacob rolled his eyes at him. Jacob then patiently explained that he had to work on something important with regard to Darren. Finally, he promised to spend more time with them moving forward.

The love of family filled the air with quiet sweetness, like flowers floating in the wind.

"Do you have any other ideas?"

Some time back in the meeting room, Jacob stared sharply at the people in front of him, who lowered their heads and kept silent.

For a long time, no one spoke or dared to look up at him. The atmosphere grew tense and somewhat depressing.

Then, Jacob's phone rang. It broke the silence.

Jacob frowned, picked up the phone, and glanced at the screen. It was a message from Louis.

'Why is he messaging me now? Could it be something important? Could something have happened to the kids?' he thought.

Jacob felt anxious at that thought. He quickly checked Louis' message and then locked his mobile phone.

Everyone remained quiet in their seats. Some secretly looked up at the head of the table.

Seeing Jacob gradually relax and smile, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief. They could not help wondering what had suddenly changed their boss's mood.

It had never occurred to Jacob that Emily would be able to see the children so soon without any discomfort and could stay with them for so long.

It was so unexpected.

After reading Louis' message, he could not sit still. He wanted to immediately reunite with Emily and their children.

So, he raised his head and looked at his employees, who were still cowering in front of him.

He waved his hand and said, "This meeting's over."

Everyone looked up at Jacob in a mixture of anxiety and surprise. Jacob started gathering his things.

Before he left, he knocked on the table, smiled, and said, "By the way, everyone will get a bonus of ten percent this month."

Jacob squatted down and embraced them tightly. He kissed their cheeks and said, "How are my babies? Have you missed Mom and Dad?"

"We're doing great. We've missed you so much," Beryl answered. She put her arms around Jacob's neck.

"Where have you been for so long, Dad? I thought you forgot about us." Bowen pouted.

Hearing this, Beryl let go of Jacob and said, "He's right. It's been..."

Beryl raised her hand and began to count with her fingers. "One, two, three, four..." But she could not remember how many days exactly.

She immediately gave up and said, "You haven't been here for many days. Don't you love us? Do you have other babies?"

"You used to come to see us a lot, and you also brought delicious food. And then you stopped showing up and bringing us food and toys," Bowen seconded. He stared at Jacob intently, waiting for his answer.

Jacob could not decide whether to laugh or cry.

Before he could explain, Louis piled on. "Well, like you two, I haven't seen Jacob for a long time. I've really missed him, too."

Seeing Louis put his hand over his chest and pretend to be sad, Jacob rolled his eyes at him. "What are you, a child?" he said sarcastically and shook his head.

Ignoring Louis, Jacob looked at the children again and smiled. He began explaining to them patiently.
