A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

At the Tyrone Mansion, The "cold war" between Jacob Gu and Emily Bai lasted for a week. This time, the problem between them could not be easily solved unless one of them was willing to give in and compromise to the other.

At late night as usual, Jacob came back to the mansion drunk.

He drank too much wine today. He hoped to numb himself with alcohol, but the results were obviously not what he expected.

Jacob was quite sober now, more sober than ever.

In fact, he was sober every night when he entered the mansion. This kind of sobriety gave him pain. Why? Because it drove him to remember of Emily's betrayal again and again like a broken record.

Because of his deep love for Emily, he couldn't tolerate anything that would desecrate it.

How could this happen?

It shouldn't be like this!

It was like a thorn in Jacob's heart. No matter how hard he tried to ignore, the thorn still couldn't be pulled out. It kept stinging him all the time. It hurt so bad and he couldn't sleep at night.

He felt trapped in a deserted island and there was no way to ask for help nor find a way out.

The small lamp in the room emitted a dim orange light. Despite the lamp's warmth, his heart felt cold.

Was she afraid of the darkness again? Or the lamp was just open for him?

Jacob couldn't help looking over the bed.

Emily seemed to have fallen asleep. Her face was enveloped by the dim light. Jacob found a long-lost sense of tenderness from her face, but he knew how rotten she was behind that tender face.

Over these days, Emily treated him coldly. Her eyes, which had been full of happiness before, were filled with disappointment now.
