A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Both men were so drunk that they could barely stand straight. Louis knew he couldn't let Jacob drive. So instead, he hailed a taxi for him and sent him home.

Jacob safely arrived at his house but when he tried to open the bedroom door, it was locked. He knew Emily was behind this but he had no idea why.

"Emily, I'm back. Come on, please open the door already," Jacob exclaimed since he was completely oblivious as to why she would do this to him. It was taking too long, and he eventually got upset. He started to yell at her, not giving any thought to how it might come across.

Emily was lying in bed and could hear Jacob's knocking. It was easy to figure out that he was completely drunk.

The only time Jacob spoke that way was when he got utterly wasted. Emily had seen it countless times.

The thought of Jacob being with another woman enraged Emily once again. There was no way she was going to let him in.

"Emily, open the door. Please, I'm begging you. I know I was wrong, okay? I shouldn't have doubted you. It was rude of me to investigate Jonas behind your back. I understand that now." Jacob stood and leaned his arm against the door. The chilling wind was sobering him up little by little.

It was now clear to him as to why Emily was acting this way. He had to give it his best and ask for her forgiveness if there was any chance of him sleeping in his own bed.

However, it seemed that his words were falling on deaf ears. No matter what he said, Emily simply acted like there was no one there.

Because of his thin clothes, Jacob started to heavily shiver from the near-freezing temperature. Jacob couldn't take it anymore and started to get upset.

He didn't understand why Emily still refused to let him in even though he had already admitted his mistake. Why was she so cold-hearted even though he had apologized a dozen times already?

"Emily, open the door this instant! You're my wife for crying out loud! Why are you so stubborn? Is that doctor more important to you than your own husband?" Jacob bitterly shouted at the door.

hearing what Jacob just said, Emily's pent-up irritation was ready to erupt like an active volcano. 'Who do you think you are? How could you possibly accuse me of
