A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

After wrapping up their affairs, Jacob took Emily back to Jingshi City, Z country. On arrival at the Jingshi City, Emily felt as if she had left this city for hundreds of years. She really missed everyone and everything here.

The first thing she wanted to do was, visit her parents. Jacob, reluctantly drove her to their temporary accommodation.

When she arrived at their door, Emily saw her parents sitting on the sofa. She shouted excitedly, "Dad, mom, I'm back!"

Andrew and Debby raised their heads and saw Emily, who was walking towards them. However, instead of looking happy, they looked very surprised.

Emily went to Debby to seek comfort, just like she did when she was a child, but sadly, Debby's look threw cold water on her face.

'They... don't look so happy to have me back. Why can't I see any signs of happiness on their faces?'

Emily thought, sorrowfully. Having noticed Emily's despair, Jacob glanced at Andrew and Debby coldly

The look on Jacob's eyes seemed to have brought them back to their senses as they realized that they should have behaved like they were happy. With smiles on their faces, they both stood up immediately and said, "Emily, you're back! Do you know how worried we were about you? We're so happy that you're safe! So happy!"

Debby even tried to hug Emily, but Emily, although unintentionally wanted to avoid it, still forced herself to hug Debby back, reluctantly.

Forced by the pressure Jacob was asserting, Andrew also hugged Emily unwillingly, expressing his concern for his "daughter". He said, "Emily, I've been worrying about you a lot. From now on, you must be careful and take care of yourself when you go out..."

Jacob gave their cold stares again. He knew that they were faking their feelings for Emily, but he didn't call them out. After all, they were still Emily's parents, and she have been desiring for their love, even though, they didn't love her.

What baffled him the most was why they couldn't love their daughter? If not for Emily, Jacob would have never visited this greedy couple and treated them with respect. 'What are they planning for? What do they want?
