A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 215 Thank You For Your Compliment

Emily finally woke up at around 9 p.m.

"Where on earth has happened to Jacob?" Emily murmured to herself, puzzled, as she sat up slowly, rubbing her aching waist gently with her hands.

She remembered that she had made an appointment with Debby. Unfortunately, it was too late to keep that promise. Emily wondered whether Jacob had done that purpose to stop her from seeing Debby.

'How long did mom wait for me today?

Maybe… She didn't wait long before she left. After all, she doesn't care much about me.'

Emily was lost in various fancies and conjectures. All of a sudden, the door was pushed open by someone from the outside.

"You're awake," Jacob said, his voice as magnetic and gentle as ever, filled with concern. He continued, "Do you want to get up and eat something first?"

Jacob's words made Emily realize that she was very hungry. She had a hollow, empty feeling in her stomach, in dire need of food. Her stomach even growled because of hunger.

"How dare you ask me this! It's all your fault…" Emily complained, whispering into his ears.

"My fault? What have I done wrong?" asked Jacob in a teasing tone.

"Hmm… I don't care! I said it's your fault, so it's all your fault…" faltered Emily. She was too shy to speak plainly about what had happened between them a few hours ago. Tiny hues of red spread from her cheeks to her neck. Slightly annoyed, she said, "I made an appointment with my mom, but now it is too late to meet her. If you hadn't thrown me on the bed and… I wouldn't have fallen asleep. Jacob, you were so rough and brash."

Jacob's mouth curled into a teasing smile, as he said with a wicked glint in his eyes, "Were I rough and brash? It seems that you still don't know me well enough. I don't mind letting you know that what a brash man, such as myself will do."

His words were obscure, and his tone was full of ambiguities. Emily's cheeks turned light red again. Moreover, she could not help remembering how hard he had made love to her and how he slowly sucked the life out of her in bed...

'Gosh! Stop thinking about that!' Emily told herself.

Jacob liked watching Emily blush with shame. Indeed, her innocence was a sight to behold. He bent over and kissed her on the cheek, then he said, "Go downstairs and have dinner with me, or get ready for round two. Now, Emily, you need to make a decision, and you need it make it quick."

Emily answered quickly, "Dinner! Of course, I want to have dinner with you!"

'Was he joking? If he makes love to me again, I'm going to die in bed!'

Emily threw back the quilt and was about to get out of bed when, she suddenly realized that she was naked. Shocked, she quickly wrapped the quilt around her body and said to Jacob, "Can you go out? I need to wear my clothes first."

"I've seen you naked many times. Is it really necessary for me to get out?" asked Jacob.

Emily replied, "But I don't want to…"

"Hmm, you don't want to dress yourself?" Jacob interrupted her, and continued in a gentle tone, like a sweet considerate boyfriend. He added, "I can help you dress."

Emily blushed and said, "I didn't mean that..."

"My dear princess, I would be happy to serve you," said Jacob. Jacob put his right hand on his left chest and bowed down to Emily, like a medieval knight. Then, he picked up her clothes and helped her put them on.

Emily resisted, but soon she found it was pointless to even try to resist. Thus, she accepted his help, albeit, reluctantly, because she was afraid of arousing Jacob's sexual desires.

In truth, just a few hours ago, when she was changing clothes in front of the closet, Jacob suddenly lost control over himself, and made love to her then and there. Emily was really afraid of his libido, which would come and go without any warnings.

Unexpectedly, this time Jacob behaved like a real gentleman.

Jacob dressed her conscientiously, and did up her buttons one by one, then he tidied up her appearance carefully. He was so conscientious and meticulous that Emily could not help feeling ashamed about her fanciful thoughts.

Emily began to consider herself a knave who always thought negatively of others...

However, the next second Jacob sighed and said in a fanatical tone, "Now I really want to take them off with my own hands."

Immediately, his image of a gentleman was shattered by this sentence.

Just as the words fell from his lips, Emily shook his hand off and got up to leave. However, she was so tired, that her legs were aching and she could hardly stand straight. Thus, when she took the first step, she staggered sideways, and fell straight into Jacob's arms...

"If you still have the energy to walk, it would mean that I didn't work hard enough in bed," said Jacob, as he gave Emily a cheeky look. He easily picked Emily up and stepped out of the bedroom at a steady

pace.

Emily felt like a salted fish, turned upside down by Jacob. She was sore all over. Looking at the triumphant smile on his face, which irked her, she put her arm around his shoulders on her own initiative, and bit him on the shoulder.

Jacob snorted in pain. After he exhaled deeply, he said, "If you bite me again, I will take you back to the bedroom."

His last sentence was a strong deterrent to Emily, who was reluctant to go back to the bedroom. She stopped all her motions, burying her red face in his chest. She listened quietly to his heart beating, as it made her feel safe. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Jacob enjoyed frightening Emily with words. However, when his eyes caught a glimpse of Debby, all his amusement abandoned his face in an instant. He carried Emily to the table and sat her down gently on a chair.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Emily cried out in surprise, as she forgot her anger towards Jacob, at least temporarily. She continued, "I missed our appointment. I'm sorry..."

"Never mind, my poor little girl," Debby replied. She comforted Emily in a conciliatory tone, as she had been warned by Jacob beforehand. "I just wanted to see you, so I came straight here to meet with you. I hope I'm not disturbing you and Mr. Gu," said Debby, She reached out and held Emily's hand gently, as she said that.

Debby showed care and enthusiasm towards Emily, which flattered her. Emily answered immediately, "Of course not. Mom, have you had dinner yet? What about Dad? Is Dad alone at home…"

"Don't worry. Both your Dad and I have had dinner. He was afraid that thieves would come and steal something, so he decided to stay at home. He will come and see you another day," said Debby.

"Oh…" Emily was relieved to hear that.

While they were talking, the servant arrived with hot food and placed all the dishes on the table.

Debby filled a bowl with hot soup and gave it to Emily. She took a peek at Jacob, and then shifted her eyes to Emily again. She said, "Emily, actually, I'm here to apologize to you. I'm sorry, Emily…"

"Mom, you don't have to apologize..." replied Emily.

"Emily, listen to me," Debby looked at Emily with a guilty expression, and continued, "Tina is indeed my biological daughter, and I'm going to tell you all the truth now. Your father wanted boys only. After I gave birth to Tina, your grandmother threatened to strangle her. So I had to send her to another family, and coincidentally it happened to be the Tao family.

Perhaps it was because evildoers were bound to be punished in the end. After that, I've never been able to get pregnant again. We went to hospital for an examination, and finally found that there was something wrong with your Dad's sperm fertility… We tried to find Tina, but we failed. Afterwards, we adopted an orphan, and that orphan was you."
