A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Ina served breakfast on the table.

Jacob just took one bite at Beryl's request and his lips frowned as he looked at Emily and said, "Your cooking is better.

Jacob looked at her with great expectations, but Emily smiled and put a damper on his mood, "You wish! I haven't cooked for a long time."

"I can cook for you!" said Jacob enthusiastically, sounding more excited rather than disappointed.

Beryl broke into applause, and she cheered, "Dad, I didn't know you could cook. That's so cool!"

Jacob was very satisfied with Beryl's reaction, "Dad will cook for you every day."

"Mom, how nice of you!" Beryl let her face flood with a smile and she clapped her little hands, pulsing on her toes.
