A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 564 Don't Jump On Me

The familiar male voice, like a constantly raging blizzard, sounded above her.

When Emily heard this sound, her brain "buzzed" for a moment, as if it had been crushed. It took several seconds for her to recover enough to react. Then she raised her head.

The man looked down at her. His tall body was outlined against the light from the passage behind him. He trapped her with his penetrating stare, and like a bird in a small cage, she could not escape.

"Jacob?"

"Are you an idiot?"

He wanted to say something to completely break her. He desired to give her a thorough tongue-lashing. However, as he looked into her glittering eyes and saw her tear-stained cheeks, he felt the violent urge vanish. He was suddenly unable to speak harshly to her.

She looked at him in surprise. "You were not inside?" She realized that he had come from the passageway and not the study.

He was struck by her fragility in that moment, and he felt that she was like a lost puppy, and equally cute. Unable to restrain himself he bent down and held her, his hand gently stroking her hair.

'This must be another one of her tricks. I should not be fooled again, ' he thought.

"Why should I be inside?"

Still confused, she shook her head to try and clear her thoughts. She suddenly stood up and asked, "Then who is the man inside..."

It was all happening so fast. Although her mind had recovered from the initial shock, her body had apparently not kept up with it and was still weak.

Jumping to her feet proved too much, and unsteady, she started falling to the ground. The world was spinning around her.

Without thinking, Jacob reached out and caught her, cradling her in his arms. It seemed to be an infallible instinct of his to keep her from harm.

Her face resting against his solid chest, she heard his heart thumping. Her ear was filled with the powerful sound, "doef-doef".

Every time his heart beat, it seemed to resonate with her own.
