A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1523

“I...“ Rita wanted to say something more, but she paused and stared blankly ahead.

Seeing this, Emily looked in the same direction. She was surprised at what she saw. “Darren? Bonnie?“

Three meters away from them, Darren and Bonnie were standing there and looking at them with equal surprise.

“Emily!“ Bonnie was the first to walk happily to Emily and Rita. She waved to Emily and chirped, “What a coincidence!“

“Yeah, what a coincidence!“ Emily looked at Bonnie with a smile and then took a glance at Darren, who still seemed to be in a daze. Then, Emily asked, “Have you also come here to shop?“

“Yes,“ Bonnie replied. Bonnie then took and held Emily's hand. “I saw your new product launch event, Emily. You were so brilliant! After your necklace is launched on the market, Darren and I are going to buy one for each other. Right, Darren?“

Bonnie looked at Darren only to find his gaze fixed on Rita. “Darren?“

“Yes? What's wrong?“ Darren came to his senses and looked at Bonnie.

Bonnie squinted at him and then looked at Rita.

Seeing this, Emily took Rita's hand and said, “We're done shopping. My kids are waiting for me at home, so we'd better get going now. Bonnie, let's have dinner some time when you're free.“ Before Bonnie could say yes to her, Emily was already towing Rita away.

Although Emily did not like Darren, she did not want things to get worse for him for Bonnie's sake.

Bonnie just waved at them and watched them leave. The moment she turned around, she saw Darren staring at Rita's receding figure.

Bonnie lowered her head to hide her emotion.

Only after Bonnie and Darren were out of sight did Emily and Rita slow down their steps.

Emily looked back and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Rita was a little angry. “What the hell was that about, Emily? Do I have to avoid him every time I bump into him for the rest of my life?“

Hearing this, Emily patted Rita's shoulder to comfort her. “The less trouble we get in, the better.“

“But I don't want to be the one who looks guilty every time!“ Rita glared at Emily.

Emily smiled and decided to change the subject. “Do you have anything else to buy? If you're done, then let's go home.“ Deep inside, she hoped that Rita would just give up and go home with her.

“Of course I'm not done. Let's go and shop some more.“ Now that Rita's good mood had been spoiled, she had to continue shopping to make herself feel better. Emily should have known.

“Fine.“ Seeing that Rita was no longer in a good mood, Emily had no choice but to accompany her to shop some more.

Half an hour later, Rita finally decided to go home as Emily had been wishing.

Both of their hands were full of shopping bags. There was no way they could hold more.

Emily guessed that this was the only reason Rita had decided to call it a day.

“Emily!“ Emily and Rita had reached the exit of the shopping mall and were about to walk out when a loud voice called from behind, which frightened Emily a little.

Frowning, she turned around and saw Darren walking toward them with a serious look on his face.

Bonnie was not with him.

Seeing that it was a call from Darren, Jacob wanted to hang up, but Emily was worried that Darren was calling because something bad had happened to Bonnie. She quickly grabbed the phone from Jacob, which made him look at her strangely.

Emily briefly explained the situation to Jacob, and then reached out to answer Darren's call.

“Darren, have you found Bonnie?“ Emily answered the phone and asked Darren directly.

After a few seconds of silence, Darren hung up.

Emily was stunned and looked back at Jacob. “What... Why would he hang up like that?“

Had he called to play a trick on her?

Jacob reached out his hand to stroke Emily's hair gently and explained, “He probably called because he thought that Bonnie had come here, but from your question, he knew that Bonnie's not here, so he hung up.“

“Well, that was rude.“ The gesture angered Emily.

“Hmm.“ Jacob nodded in agreement.

“And what's wrong with that guy? He looked for Bonnie all afternoon, but he still didn't find her?“ Emily continued to show her annoyance.

“Shall we help him?“ Jacob asked her directly. He took out his mobile phone as if he would immediately call someone to look for Bonnie as soon as Emily agreed.

Emily looked at the phone in his hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded. “Okay. Make your calls.“ She was worried that Bonnie was alone somewhere at this time of night.

If something happened to her, Emily would spend the rest of her life feeling guilty about it.
