A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily spoke out frankly,"Jacob, I know that you're already engaged to someone else. Could you please stop pursuing me from now on? I don't want to be the third party, so please don't try to convince me otherwise..."

She found it hard to resist and refuse someone who treated her so kindly.

"Fiancee?" Bemused by Emily's assertion, Jacob frowned and asked,"Who is my fiancee?"

When did he get engaged? Jacob couldn't understand where Emily could have gotten that bizarre idea. Somebody must have lied to her!

"Tina..." Emily looked up and met his eyes, then she lowered her voice,"She told me that she is your fiancee..."

"And you believed her?" asked Jacob, astounded. He was very unhappy with Tina's self-assertive behavior. "No matter what others say, you always fall for it easily. No wonder you were cheated on."

"Okay, I am stupid. I deserve to be cheated on. Are you happy?" His last sentence crushed Emily's heart and let her down.

"I agree, you are pretty silly," Jacob nodded and agreed with her.

"You..." Emily got angry at Jacob's arrogance. However, as the saying suggested, one had to be humble when trapped in a compromising situation. Since she was in Jacob's place and eating the breakfast that he was paying, Emily shut her mouth and kept silent.

"Tina is not my fiancee." Jacob passed her some small steamed buns, and squinted his eyes at her. "Trust me, okay?"

'What difference would it make whether I believe you or not? I don't see the point anyway, ' Emily thought to herself, though, she answered,"Okay, I trust you."

Jacob would have no reasons to cheat on her. In truth, Emily was not an extraordinarily beautiful woman. What did Jacob see in her?

"Jacob, why do you like me?"

"Because... you are stupid."

Speechless, Emily was boiling with anger.

Emily thought it was pointless to continue talking to Jacob, since he wasn't even taking her seriously.
