A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"You, you, you... don't talk nonsense!"

Emily was about to put her hand over Jacob's mouth again.

Jacob couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you feel guilty?"

"No!"

"Then why did you stutter?"

Deep down Emily knew that she did not want to get in an argument about this issue. "You know that it is inappropriate for you to be here. Why did you still come here..."

"You don't know why I am here?"

The corners of Jacob's dark eyes deepened as he glared at her face. He asked inquisitively, "Well?"

Suddenly, Emily's facial expression stiffened. Even after their previous confrontation, Jacob still wanted to...

Court her?

What was it about her personality that attracted people like him to her? If someone could tell her, she would gladly change it!

Emily was afraid that Jacob would say something she would not be able to accept, so she quickly changed the topic. "What a coincidence! You and Jack came here almost at the same time... Wait a moment!"

Surprisingly, it took a long time before she finally realized something was wrong and asked, "How did you get in? !"

Completely disregarding the shocked expression on Emily's face, Jacob answered casually, "With the key you hid under the flower pot near the door."

Who would have imagined that Jack would show up soon after Jacob got there? Didn't Emily get her point through to him? If Jacob didn't care about Emily's feelings, he would have already gone out and kicked Jack out!

Emily choked upon hearing Jacob's answer. Astounded, she asked, "... How did you know about that?"

Emily always kept a spare key under the flower pot near the door, in case she ever lost her keys. To the best of her knowledge, only she knew about the spare key. She didn't expect that Jacob would find it so easily... Just the thought of it sent shivers down her spine!

"Then...when are you leaving?"

Jacob's face frowned painfully. He didn't go through all the trouble of getting in, just so she
