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.

Why don't you cook something for me?"

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."

Emily was amazed at the strong chemistry Jacob and Beryl shared with each other. Their father-and-daughter relationship warmed her heart.

"If we go to the beach today, will we be in a rush?" asked Emily.

"No, I have gotten everything done. We just need to go," Jacob answered.

"But I haven't set my work up..." Emily looked for excuses, but she changed her mind after Beryl gave her the puppy-dog eyes, pouting her bottom lip ever so slightly. "Okay. I will make some calls and set it up."

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

Who could refuse such a cute and adorable child?

After making arrangements for her work, Emily agreed to set out. She didn't need to bother about anything else except for her essentials because Jacob had prepared for everything else.
