A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Jacob spoke with tenderness. "Whether you accept it or not, it's your call. But it's still up to me to give it to you or not. I promised you that I will not hurt the baby and I will give the baby the best things life can offer."

Emily didn't know how to answer. She looked at the papers and back to Jacob, "I-I can't accept this..."

Money had never been the reason why Emily chose to be with Jacob, after all.

Jacob said gently but firmly, "My principle is I never take back what I have given away." Then continued, "Come on! Think about it. If I annoyed you just a little, you can drive me away and I will be left with nothing! I will end up in the street!"

"Wait, what? What are you saying?" Emily tried to stop herself from laughing.

"See? If you kick me out, you're going see as a dirty beggar in the street. Alms, alms, please give me alms," Jacob put out a cupped hand around his mouth, making a funny face. Then he turned serious, "See? I am willing to give you everything." He reached out his big hands to hold a Emily's small ones, "Will you try to trust me more, please?"

Emily tried to process what he just did. How crazy could Jacob Gu be? She opened her mouth to speak, "I...I'm sorry."

"If you disappear from my side, I will surely go crazy. Stop running away from me. Please stay with me."

Jacob knelt in front of her with pleading eyes. Feeling guilty, Emily couldn't help but to sigh and nod.

"Now that I have nothing, you cannot abandon me now." Jacob stood up and smiled. He hugged her and rested his chin on her neck. Inhaling her scent, he felt a sense of relief washing all over him.

Emily didn't struggle to break the hug, "How come will you have nothing? It's impossible for you to go out and beg in the streets. You are a member of the Gu Family!"
