A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Oh, Jacob! You are outrageous!" Emily yelled at Jacob, as the memories of the other day when Jacob made love to her so hard that she needed to beg him to stop before her brain could start working again. "Why is it so difficult for you to be polite? Should I remind you that you're the one who's been lying to me all this time?" she added.

"Just as I've said, I lied to you for your own good," said Jacob, as he kissed Emily's neck and chin.

Emily had run out of patience; she covered Jacob's mouth with her hand and stressed, "It's not good to lie to someone, even if you think you're doing it for their benefit."

"So what do you want me to do?" asked Jacob.

"First of all, stop kissing me..." replied Emily.

Before heeding Emily's request, Jacob turned his head away from her hand and pecked Emily's tender lips one more time.

"You don't want me to be a member of Tao family, do you?" asked Emily.

"What is your decision? Do you want to go back to them?" Jacob replied with a question of his own.

Emily pondered for a long while before she came to the conclusion that Jacob was making a lot of sense. Since everyone in the Tao family considered Tina as the apple of their eyes, it would be impossible for Emily to be a part of that family, especially since she did not get along with Tina at all. Moreover, Emily believed that Bess and Abbott only wished to take her back home because they wanted to make up for their mistakes, so they could absolve themselves of their guilt.

Taking everything into consideration, Emily felt that if she had to choose between the Tao family and Debby, she would be more inclined to choose the latter.

Emily shook her head slowly, and then firmly uttered, "I know nothing about them, just as they know nothing about me. I just want to be by your side."

Satisfied by Emily's confession, Jacob's eyes lit up and he smiled from ear to ear. "You've made a wise decision," he said.

"But," Emily thought deeply, before she decided to add, "Since Mrs. Bess asked me to see her, maybe I should meet her and tell her my decision in person. What do you think?"
