A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Emily didn't understand how Jacob could be so hard-headed about this kind of thing. Jonas was her friend, no matter who he was. Shouldn't friends trust each other no matter what?

His identity shouldn't matter to anyone. The only important thing was that he was a friend of Emily's.

However, Jacob just couldn't fathom that idea at all.

"You talk to me in that manner, again and again, all because of this Jonas person. Is he really more important than me, your husband? The person you love?" Due to his intoxicated state, Jacob was able to get rid of his filter and finally spoke out the things he wanted to say to her.

Every time that Emily defended Jonas, Jacob couldn't help but get jealous and think crazy thoughts. It would invade his mind and make him restless for days.

However, Emily always made it seem like it wasn't a big deal. She turned a blind eye to his discomfort about their friendship. She would mention Jonas again and again, as if they had a special relationship or something. It frustrated Jacob to no end.

"You always think too much. Jonas and I are just friends, I told you that. What else do you want me to do? Right now, you are acting very childish about this whole thing!" Hating the fact that she was being accused of being less than loyal, Emily shouted at Jacob.

She was aware that the two didn't get along well with each other. Jacob really didn't like Jonas.

For some reason, whenever she mentioned Jonas, Jacob would become angry. It was as if he turned into a completely different person that she just couldn't communicate with.

Today was definitely no exception. She was also tired and had lost her patience, so she decided to walk away. Quietly, she marched to the bed to get some rest and left a sulking Jacob behind.

The two of them gave each other the silent treatment again. Neither one of them wanted to talk to the other first.

On the early morning of the next day, Jacob returned to the same bar and ran into the same woman from the night before.

His presence was well-received. For a moment, the woman was shocked to see him, but she eventually walked up to him with an alluring smile.
