A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily raised her head and smiled back. "Why? What should I be careful about?" she asked.

Suddenly, Jacob pulled her to his loving embrace and tried to kiss her.

However, Emily, being as nimble as she was, evaded his arms and quickly moved to the gift boxes. "Can I open it?" she said, laughing while reaching for one.

Jacob grinned like a cheshire cat and replied,"Of course you can."

Emily unwrapped the box and found something scintillating inside. "Diamond?" she exclaimed, her eyes glowing with wonderment.

She opened another, and then another box... It turned out every box had a fine-cut diamond.

Emily's eyes dazzled with astonishment. Baffled by Jacob's gifts, she asked,"You put a diamond in each of these boxes?"

Jacob didn't say anything, and he just smiled back at her. He had always thought that diamonds were the perfect gifts for Emily. "You said you liked jewelry," he said.

"I did, but I meant designing jewelries, not owning so many diamonds! These must have cost you a lot," she said. The thought of the cost of such extravagant gifts made Emily gasp.

"I have money," said Jacob, as humbly as he could possibly sound.

"I know, but you shouldn't..." Emily complained, but she was also flattered by his loving gesture. "I prefer the Christmas tree you made more than these diamonds," she said to him.

Jacob's ears were burning again, patiently, he replied,"... as you wish my dear."

People on the square were all astounded when they realized that each of the gift boxes contained a shining diamond inside them. Is this what rich relationships look like? A diamond tree, for God's sake!
