A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

When Emily saw Jacob at the doorway of the house, her eyes lit up with joy. She stood up, and walked straight towards him. "Jacob, you're here. I was just chatting with my mother," she said.

Clearly, Emily had no intentions of carrying on with the conversation with her mother, so Jacob did not bother to ask her again. "Oh, really?" he said.

"Yeah, that's true," said Mrs. Bai. Her mother smiled at Jacob obsequiously, and said,"Since Mr. Jacob is here. Why don't we have dinner together?"

Jacob nodded to her words. His expression was quite neutral, since he didn't look angry but he also didn't look pleased.

Andrew assumed that Jacob would not mistreat them in front of Emily, so he gathered the courage to finally have a conversation with Jacob. What an honor!

Just when Emily went into the kitchen to fetch a few things, Jacob's face suddenly went cold, as he looked at Emily's parents with a pair of dark eyes. His eyes pierced through their souls with contempt, instead of anger.

"So? I heard that you guys are not happy with the fact that Emily is with me?" he asked.

They weren't expecting Jacob to change his face so quickly. Their heart trembled with anxiousness, shocked by the coldness at the bottom of Jacob's eyes.

"No, of course not! Mr. Jacob you are an outstanding man. How could we be dissatisfied with you? I am afraid that our daughter, Emily is not good enough for you..." Mr. Bai said.

"I don't care what your true intentions are," Jacob said, as he glared at them, emotionlessly. Every word that came out of his mouth pierced their heart as he said,"Don't try to do anything foolish under my nose. Emily is the only one for me. You'd best not interfere in our matters."

Emily's parents finally felt the full weight of Jacob's words, as it seemed like his words were choking them. It wasn't until Emily came back to the table that they were able to breath freely again. Only then did the atmosphere around them became tolerable.

"Let's eat. What are you all waiting for?" Emily asked. Emily had sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't want to pester anyone. She was just glad that everyone was still seated at the table.
