A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 376 Then You Can't See Him Anymore

Emily bent over quickly and picked Beryl up with haste. Emily turned to Jack and calmly stated, "You can't expect kids to keep remembering things."

"I guess you're right, plus I haven't been able to see her these days," said Jack. Jack nodded in agreement, but he soon changed the topic, "You just came back from seeing Jacob, haven't you?"

"Yeah." Emily didn't see any reason to deny this.

Jack clicked his tongue in disappointment, averted his gaze and said, "I knew it."

Emily looked straight into Jack's eyes and asked seriously, "Jack, why did you lie about being Beryl's father?"

"Wait, you know?" Jack was surprised when he heard this, but settled down soon after. He continued, "Of course you do. Was it ever possible that Jacob would choose not to tell you the truth?"

His answer was a shock to Emily. She was just bluffing when she asked that, not really sure if Jack was going to bite. He did. "So, you mean that four years ago, you and I didn't.."

"Yes. I regret that we didn't," said Jack, morose.

Jack thought that if he took advantage of Emily that time, Beryl could've been his real daughter. But now, Jacob had it all.

Emily, on the other hand, was emotionally in turmoil. She doubted this even before that Beryl was his daughter, but she didn't dare voice it out. She was unconsciously trying to escape reality.

Escaping from what exactly? She had no idea.

When she learned of the truth at this very moment, Emily didn't experience the relief she thought would wash over her. Because of deliberate misinformation and misunderstanding, Jacob and her had missed four years of bringing up Beryl.

And time was fickle.

"Do you hate me then?" asked Jack intently. He sounded weary but insisted on an answer.

Emily wordlessly looked at him. She just looked down, and shook her head slowly looking sorrowful. She then answered, "I did before, but now I just don't feel anything."

Jack laughed at this. His face was showed a bitter expression and his eyes hinted a moment of madness. He yelled straight at Emily's face, "That's because you don't care about me now, so much that you don't even have the feelings to invest to hate me! I knew it all this time. But I refuse to accept it."
