A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

'If Emily really changes her mind about Jack and they somehow get back together, everything I had done before will have been for nothing, ' Rose thought, hatefully.

"Jack, you may have fond feelings for Emily, but she doesn't seem to feel the same way about you."

"That's why it's better for us not to see each other for a few days; it seems that Emily does not like your presence around me."

Jack felt that he had been considerate and thoughtful of Emily, but Emily had not reciprocated his favor. She even left him waiting outside her apartment all night yesterday.

Jack reached for the gift box he had prepared for Emily in his pocket and brought it out. After hesitating for a moment, he tossed the gift over to Rose.

"Here you go."

Rose opened the gift box with delight, but was then utterly disappointed to find a priceless crystal necklace inside it.

Jewelries made with crystals were best suited for people with fair skin color. Although Rose's skin was fair, she could not hold a candle to Emily's snow-white skin.

As a result, Rose never wore crystal jewelries. 'Damn, yesterday was Emily's birthday. This necklace must have been prepared for her.

Why should I accept the gift which is not intended for me in the first place?'

Although Rose felt irritated, she feigned a happy expression and said, "Thank you. I know you still care about me."

Rose's words made Jack frown, and he said, "Rose, we should stop meeting each other for a few days."

"Jack..." Rose's tears came rushing out like a downpour. She said to him, "I won't fight Emily for you. I simply love you and just want to be with you. The thought of being with you fills my heart with happiness... I really love you, even though I can't be Emily's friend anymore because of my relationship with you."

Jack had been in a bad mood recently for he had gotten the cold shoulder from both Emily and his uncle, Jacob. Now seeing the beautiful woman standing in front of him and confessing her love for him, he felt somewhat comforted, so he embraced Rose in his arms.
