A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"If that's the case, I'm sure Jacob will gladly agree." Emily didn't have it in her heart to refuse Jonas for a second time and eventually accepted his invitation. Besides, being able to bring Jacob along made it a lot easier to do so.

'Jacob shouldn't have any problems with this, right?'

she asked herself. Making her husband jealous was the last thing she wanted to do. Since Jacob was coming with them and Jonas didn't mind having him join, Emily was finally able to calm herself down.

A blissful smile made its way on Jonas' face when Emily finally accepted his invitation. On the other hand, Emily tried her best to hide the joy she felt when she saw Jonas' smiling face. Her heart almost melted because of it. It was something quite soothing to see, like a spring breeze in the hot summer. Luckily, she had the willpower to stop herself from having these kinds of thoughts.

If Jacob were to find out about how she felt just now, there was no doubt in her mind that he would explode like a bomb on her. Emily took a deep breath to gather herself, and then showed a casual smile to Jonas.

"Now that it's settled, I'll pick you up after work, okay?" Jonas asked Emily in an elated voice.

Soon after Jonas walked away, a troublesome thought popped into Emily's head. 'How should I tell Jacob about this?

Won't he get angry?'

After a few minutes of sorting out her thoughts, Emily finally decided to stop worrying about it since there was nothing else she could do. She had already promised Jonas that they would join him for dinner, and she wasn't a woman who turned back on her word.

While she went about with her day, Emily's heart was still filled with concern. Fortunately, she had work to finish before the day ended, which kept her quite busy.

At the end of the day, a few minutes before she eventually got off work, Emily took out her phone and anxiously dialed Jacob's number.

"Hey dear, I have something to tell you. Do you remember the doctor named Jonas? You met him a few days ago. Anyway, I ran into him today at the charity foundation for depression, and he invited the two of us out for dinner. Do you want to go?" Emily was uncertain about how her husband would react, so she tried her best to sugarcoat her words.

She felt completely terrified that her question would greatly upset Jacob. After all, whenever she even mentioned another man's name, he would get jealous in the blink of an eye.

Jacob's apathetic voice responded from the other line.
