A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

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.
