A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"Hey, are you ignoring me on purpose?" Jennifer glared at Jacob. She didn't expect that kind of response from him.

Jacob only spoke flatly, devoid of any emotion, "Oh, hello, Jennifer."

Jennifer finally smiled, "Jacob, it's been a while. How have you been?"

"It's quite long, isn't it?" said Jacob, still not showing any expression.

Emily gulped as she watched them interact with each other. It really looked like they went long back.

She felt uncomfortable and tightened her grip at Jacob's hand, "Jacob, is.. she your fiancee?"

Not letting Jacob reply, Jennifer spoke up first, "I told you not to mind what Uncle Gu had said. He always preferred the misfits."

Emily frowned, "But that's not what you said earlier."

"Ah, Jacob, your girlfriend might have misunderstood us. Could you clear things up for her?" Jennifer kept an innocent smile like a little girl who was hiding what she did wrong.

Emily felt a bit of distress.

Jacob didn't find anything wrong as he held Emily's hand back, "Emily, Jennifer is just my friend, not fiancee; so please don't be jealous."

"That's correct, and even if I was once called Jacob's fiancee, it was back in our childhood. So does it really matter now?" Jennifer interjected.

Jennifer wanted to make it clear to Emily that she and Jacob were just childhood friends. They treated each like siblings and there was nothing beyond that.

Hearing what Jennifer said, Jacob frowned slightly and looked at Emily. Emily's distrusting gaze turned into a warm smile, "Ah that explains it. You only mentioned that now."

Jacob could not help feeling disappointed because he thought that when Jennifer explained it, Emily would be jealous.

Jennifer was used in playing tricks so she pretended to be shocked, "I thought we couldn't get along because of a misunderstanding. Let us not mind that now. At least, we cleared it up now, right?"
