A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

The sales clerk had her people bring out the new stroller. Emily saw it and thought it would be perfect for her baby, and because
of the sales clerk's fancy sales pitch, she finally decided to buy it.
Although it was a bit expensive, she felt it was worth it for the baby. As a parent she wanted to give her child the best things in
the world.
When Emily was about to check out, she suddenly heard a familiar voice. The voice sounded so "charming" that it gave Emily
goosebumps.
"Hey Emily, you're here too? Are you also buying baby products?"
Emily looked back in disgust. Sure enough, it was Rose, and the man standing next to her was none other than Jack.
Jack's gaze fell directly on Emily, and he couldn't take his eyes off her since. His emotions were complicated.
Emily seemed to have gained some weight and her face was a little more plump and rounded, but her skin looked fair and
smoother than usual. She looked pretty with chubby cheeks, like a beautiful peach.
By the looks of it, Emily had been doing very well for herself after she left him and it seemed like the rumours of Jacob and her
being together were true.
But why? The person who toyed with her feelings was him, and yet the person who was hurting the most was also him! While
Emily looked like her life had changed for the better!
Emily perceived the turbulence and hot emotion in Jack's eyes, so she looked away to avoid looking at him.
She did not forget what Jack did to her!
The hatred was coming back to her again, little by a little in her heart.
Rose had detected the undercurrent between the two people, but she pretended not to notice. She walked up and looked at the
baby carriage. With a satisfied look on her face, she turned to Jack and said,"Honey, we should buy this baby stroller for our
baby. What do you think?"
Jack agreed with her without a second thought,"Okay, if you like it then I like it too."

Contented, Rose smiled, and there was a certain gentleness in her eyes which was rare for her usual nature. Unfortunately, it
didn't last too long, and soon her eyes were filled with calculations.
Embarrassed, the sales clerk looked at them awkwardly. She turned to Emily, who was standing there with a confused look on
her face, and then to Rose,"This lady had already reserved this baby stroller..."
"Did she check out already?"
Rose looked at Emily, her tone was soft but very assertive. "Emily, you would never steal things I like from me, would you?"
It was very clear that she meant something else than the stroller. Emily's face looked disgusted, as she simply denied,"No."
"Then you want to compete with me?"
That was the result Rose had wanted. She was only afraid that Emily would not entertain her amusement!
However, Emily's next words disappointed her. "You need to get your story straight. From the beginning until the end, you have
been stealing things from me. I never took them back to prove to you that I didn't want them anymore. But you should be thankful
of the charity you have received from me, understand?"
Rose's face turned pale within seconds. Suddenly, she froze,"Emily..."
Jack looked like he was being offended, as the anger in his eyes intensified, seemingly burning Emily to ashes.
"You didn't want it any more? Charity?" Jack moved in on her step by step. He said very slowly with disappointment in his tone,
stressing each syllable. "You do not want it, just because you do not know what 'love' is."
Otherwise how could she be so calm? How could she give up him so easily? Emily did not have any attachments because she
stopped caring, and she wasn't sad because she didn't feel bad about what happened, instead she moved on with her life!
From beginning to end, the only person who was sad was Jack!
"Don't come any closer!"
Emily subconsciously stepped back a few steps. She was stunned by Jack's expression for a moment, but then she suddenly
understood it and smiled back mockingly,"Jack, we are the same."
"You are in no position to say that we are the same!"

"What? You expect me to be heartbroken for you; drown my face in tears all day long, out of desperation... To die for you and to
humble myself to you... That is what you want to see right?"
Driven mad with anger, Jack yelled,"Emily, you have no heart!"
"Hahaha, that is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard."
Emily stood straight and smiled proudly. "I will not be sad anymore. I am happy, because I left a scumbag like you. Thank you for
letting me go."
Every word of what Emily said was like a big rock crushing Jack's heart.
Emily's entire disposition had changed. She had transformed into a strong woman. She no longer needed to be under his mercy.
Her tone was light and carefree, as if their past was a mistake, wiped clean with an eraser, completely without trace.
Jack felt like his heart was being squeezed dry, like an orange. He was under tremendous discomfort as he looked at Emily and
said,"Think of your parents, Emily."
Since she didn't care about him, but did she stop caring about her parents as well? Was she not concerned for her parents' well-
being?
All of a sudden, Emily become vigilant and cautious at Jack's insinuation. She asked, assertively,"What about them?"
"Your father has a gambling problem and now he owes me 18 million."
Jack had a menacing look in his eyes, as his face seemed to be covered in black mist, slowly approaching her, and speaking in a
voice so low that only she could hear him. "If he doesn't pay me back by tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to have to take some drastic
measures."
Emily's face turned pale as a ghost in an instant, and her eyes widened as she faced the man in front of her with resentment.
She never expected that Jack would sink so low. "What do you want?"
Jack had really changed, compared to the handsome and considerate boy in her memory. He was almost beyond recognition.
Jack's voice turned unexpectedly gentle, which made Emily shudder. He looked at her casually and said,"Firstly, get rid of this
child, and then leave Jacob. Do you understand me?"

He patted her face and smiled arrogantly. "Don't even think about telling Jacob, or you will have to face the consequences. Do as
I've said."
"Jerk."
The chill hit the Emily's entire body. She fell to the ground slowly, as her knees weakened, but her eyes were still hateful.
Jack was about to help her get up, but he stopped when he heard the word. However, he was not angry. "I will give you a day to
think about it clearly."
Even if she hated him, it was still better than when she did not care about him! Emily would never be able to be with Jacob so
easily!
"Let's go, Rose."
Jack casually waved at Rose, looking cheerful as ever.
Although Rose didn't know what Jack had said to Emily, when she saw the desperation on Emily's face, she felt happy in her
heart. She walked over to Jack to take his hand and walked away with him.
In the end, Emily did not buy the baby stroller. She went back to Tyrone Mansion, hoping to find a solution to her problems, but
the stress was pounding her head as she could not think of anything useful.
Perhaps she could do as Jack had said, kill the child and leave Jacob? The latter was something she could manage, but the
former was something she could never bring herself to do. After all, it was her own flesh and blood.
Jacob's mind was meticulous. He had noticed the abnormal state Emily was in, but since she did not say anything, he did not
want to bother her.
In the evening, Emily asked Jacob to stay with her before going to sleep, which made him more suspicious about the fact that
she was hiding something in her heart!
