A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 160 My Prince, Forgive Me

Rose looked up at Emily with beseeching eyes, and said,"Emily, I know you are a kind person. Please help me and my child... Emily, I know, you wouldn't let Jack kill this child, right? You will certainly help me, won't you?"

Emily refused,"No, I won't."

"Why?" Rose cried out in shock,"I don't believe that. I believe that you will help me."

"Shut up, Rose. I don't believe you at all, even if what you're saying is true..." Emily replied. She stared at Rose with cold eyes, as she said,"I am not as kind-hearted as you like for me to be, and I will never selflessly help my enemies. So why would you even think that I'd help you after you hurt me so many times?

Rose didn't expect Emily to refuse her so decisively. In her impression, Emily was just a silly, softhearted woman. In the past, as long as she pretended to be remorseful of what she had done, Emily, who was known as a good-tempered and lenient woman, never refused her requests... Unfortunately, nothing was working this time.

"You…you've never refused me before…" said Rose, caught by surprise.

"As you've said, all that's in the past. Do you know who made me so cold-blooded? It was you and Jack," said Emily, as she wore a sardonic look on her face, and continued,"I am happy to see you grovelling at my feet, and I've listened to your story, but I am afraid that l have to go now."

"Emily! Don't go! Wait…" Rose watched helplessly as Emily disappeared into the distance. When she started to get stomach cramps, she stopped screaming, fearing that she would harm her unborn child if she continued running after Emily. Desperate and powerless, Rose remained where she was, gnashing her teeth in anger.

'Emily is a heartless bitch! She looked at me kneeling, but still refused to help me. She even mocked me!

Damn it! I'll be sure to pay her back for this in the future!' Rose thought indignantly.

Before long, Emily returned to the LA Company. She was in such a hurry that she forgot to buy coffee. Fortunately, she was not in the mood for drinking coffee.

Although Emily looked calm, her mind was in a total mess. She forced herself to forget what had just happened, but she could not help wondering what if Rose really was speaking the truth.

Rose was a quintessentially evil person. Despite her arrogance and conceited nature, the fact that she knelt in font of someone, showed that she must have been in a really hopeless situation...

'What if she were speaking the truth, that Jack really wanted to get her an abortion... But Rose said that Jack was doing all of that for me? That's preposterous!'

Emily was fretting all afternoon. She struggled to calm down, but it didn't work.

It was not until Jacob came to pick her up for dinner that she felt a little more cheerful.

"What's the matter?" asked Jacob, eagerly, having noticed something was draining the light from her eyes.

Emily shook her head and answered,"It's nothing. Let's go get dinner. I am famished."

Jacob understood that she wasn't telling the truth, but he decided not to pester her. "Okay," he replied calmly.

Jacob took Emily to Beacher Restaurant for dinner. Lost in her own thoughts, Emily unknowingly started chewing her napkin. Soon, she realized what she was doing, so she immediately spit out the

napkin, feeling embarrassed by her absent-mindedness.

"Would you like some more food? Or are the napkins good enough?" asked Jacob in a teasing tone. He deliberately lowered his voice, and spoke in a charming manner.

Emily blushed with shame, and then she whispered,"No. I was just thinking about something..."

At this point, she paused and looked up at Jacob. However, his calm and collected demeanor confused her, as she couldn't read the emotions on his face.

"Something happened earlier today…" she said. Emily knew that Jacob was so smart that he would soon find out what had happened to her earlier through other means. Since, he was going to find out about it anyway, she decided to come forward on her own. Emily continued,"Rose came to me today..."

Emily told Jacob everything that had happened with Rose, and then she looked at him eagerly for his reactions.

When Jacob listened to Emily's story, he sneered, as a spasm of disgust contorted his face.

Jacob figured out exactly what Jack was planning to do. Just as Jacob had expected, Jack was just pretending to obey Jacob to get his guard down, waiting for an opportunity to get Emily back.

"What's your opinion on this matter?" Jacob asked Emily for her opinion instead of asserting his perspective.

Emily laid all her thoughts out on the table. "In my opinion, whatever happens between Jack and Rose, is between the both of them. None of that concerns me. So the best thing to do would be to leave them be. Besides, I'm not even sure if Rose was telling the truth. If I try to intervene and fall for another one of their traps, what would I do then?" she said.

Jacob smirked at Emily and praised her. "Well, you've gotten a lot smarter than before," he said.

The silly little rabbit had finally gotten smarter after taking a beating, albeit, only a little smarter.

"But when I think of what she said, I still feel a little uncomfortable." Emily couldn't shake the feeling. 'If Rose was indeed, telling the truth, what would happen?'

Emily despised Rose, which was already clear as crystal. However, if Rose's unborn child was to die because she refused to help Rose, Emily would never forgive herself. After all, the children shouldn't have to pay for their parents' mistakes. They were totally innocent.

Seeing the predicament Emily was tangled in, Jacob frowned with displeasure. Holding her small hands in his palms, he said gently,"Emily, just follow your heart. Whatever you want to do, I will support you."

Emily fixated on the man in front of her with widened eyes, then she nodded to him with a firm expression as if she had come to a conclusion. "I am going to find out whether Rose was telling the truth or not," she said. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacob gripped her soft hands firmly and said,"Okay, I'm with you on this."

Jacob's confidence in Emily, melted her heart, as she couldn't wipe the big grin off of her face. She bit her lips, as she suddenly closed in and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you, Jacob," she said.

Incidentally, Emily had grease from the food on her lips, so when she kissed Jacob, she ended up dirtying his face. The look of shock on Jacob's face made Emily burst out laughing, as she disregarded the mark she had made on his face.

However, Jacob was not a foolish man. He quickly reacted by asking Emily,"Did you stain my face on purpose?"

"No, I didn't…" she replied. Before Emily finished her words, Jacob clasped her to his breast.

Jacob held her small head in one hand, and rubbed his grease stained cheek to her face. He didn't stop until he managed to clean up most of the mess on his face. With a glow of satisfaction in his eyes he said,"Perhaps this will put some sense into you."

With oil smudged all over her cheeks, Emily felt aggrieved by Jacob's behavior, but she had no courage to blame him because she wronged him first. Without further delay, she quickly begged for mercy and said,"I won't do it again. My prince, please forgive me..."

Jacob was amused by her childish sense of humor, so he asked in a teasing tone,"If I say no, what are you going to do?"

"If you don't forgive me…" Emily rolled her eyes with a sly expression on her face, then she suddenly looked up and gave him a hard peck on the lips.

Dizzied, Jacob felt light-headed, with his heart packing like a bullet train.

Over time, Emily had become more skilful at flirting. She teased him and then fled right before she aroused his fiery lust.

Just as Jacob was expecting, Emily jumped out of his reach like a slippery little fish. She sat a little farther away from him, with an enticing smile, feeling amused by the fact that she was playing with Jacob's desires.

Emily never thought that she would have the courage to kiss a man on her own. She had never felt more empowered as she did now than when she was with Jack. Back then, she was just a shy and reserved girl... However, being with Jacob had made her a different person. She couldn't stop herself from being physical with him, and kissing him...All in all, she had become everything Jacob had wanted her to be.

Perhaps, Emily really was in love with Jacob. In love folly was always sweet.
