A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Tears welled up in Estelle's eyes. She bowed to Emily and said in a trembling voice, “Thank you.“ She sincerely felt grateful to Emily from the bottom of her heart because Emily had chosen to give her a second chance even after she had cheated and betrayed her.

With a complicated look in her eyes, Emily nodded at Estelle's bow and said in a cold tone, “You don't have to thank me. Just so you know, I don't completely trust you anymore. I just don't want to waste these sketches.“

Emily's words were direct and somewhat hurtful, but Estelle simply shook her head and smiled, “It doesn't matter.“ She understood that it would take some time for Emily to be able to trust her again. “Please carry on with your work. I won't bother you anymore.“ Knowing that Emily was now facing a critical moment, Estelle packed up her sketches, turned around, and left.

After Estelle left the office and closed the door behind her, frustration quickly took over Emily's mood.

“Ahhh!“ She felt as if her mind was collapsing. She ran her fingers through her hair in distress.

She stared into space and felt completely helpless. Estelle, a newcomer, was able to design new products while she, her senior, still hid in her office and progressed at nothing.

The shadow of desperation loomed over Emily as she longed for inspiration to flow in her veins.

No matter how desperate or exhausted she became, she would never give up. She pulled herself together and threw herself back into her seemingly endless creative process.

“I'm home.“ After a day without any sort of progress, Emily came home tired and depressed.

“Mommy!“ Hearing Emily's voice, her eldest daughter and elder son ran to her happily.

When Emily saw her two adorable kids, she immediately put away the tiredness on her face and smiled brightly at them. She squatted down and opened her arms. “Beryl, Bowen!“

“Mommy!“ The two angels threw themselves into their mother's arms and then raised their little faces and said to her, “Welcome home, Mommy. It's so wonderful to have you home.“

Hearing the sweet words of her children, Emily immediately felt tremendously warm in her heart. She hugged them both tightly. “Thank you, my beloved babies. I feel rested now that you're in my arms,“ she replied with a bright smile. As she spoke, she rubbed her cheeks against her children's faces. In the presence of her two wonderful kids, she felt at peace and satisfied.
