A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 181

When Emily saw Jacob at the doorway of the house, her eyes lit up with joy. She stood up, and walked straight towards him. "Jacob, you're here. I was just chatting with my mother," she said.

Clearly, Emily had no intentions of carrying on with the conversation with her mother, so Jacob did not bother to ask her again. "Oh, really?" he said.

"Yeah, that's true," said Mrs. Bai. Her mother smiled at Jacob obsequiously, and said,"Since Mr. Jacob is here. Why don't we have dinner together?"

Jacob nodded to her words. His expression was quite neutral, since he didn't look angry but he also didn't look pleased.

Andrew assumed that Jacob would not mistreat them in front of Emily, so he gathered the courage to finally have a conversation with Jacob. What an honor!

Just when Emily went into the kitchen to fetch a few things, Jacob's face suddenly went cold, as he looked at Emily's parents with a pair of dark eyes. His eyes pierced through their souls with contempt, instead of anger.

"So? I heard that you guys are not happy with the fact that Emily is with me?" he asked.

They weren't expecting Jacob to change his face so quickly. Their heart trembled with anxiousness, shocked by the coldness at the bottom of Jacob's eyes.

"No, of course not! Mr. Jacob you are an outstanding man. How could we be dissatisfied with you? I am afraid that our daughter, Emily is not good enough for you..." Mr. Bai said.

"I don't care what your true intentions are," Jacob said, as he glared at them, emotionlessly. Every word that came out of his mouth pierced their heart as he said,"Don't try to do anything foolish under my nose. Emily is the only one for me. You'd best not interfere in our matters."

Emily's parents finally felt the full weight of Jacob's words, as it seemed like his words were choking them. It wasn't until Emily came back to the table that they were able to breath freely again. Only then did the atmosphere around them became tolerable.

"Let's eat. What are you all waiting for?" Emily asked. Emily had sensed that something was wrong, but she didn't want to pester anyone. She was just glad that everyone was still seated at the table.

Jacob picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of fish in Emily's bowl. "Try this," he said.

His expression was so soft that he looked nothing like the man who threatened them just a few minutes ago. Emily's parents were shocked at the scene.

'Is Jacob... really into Emily?'

...

Days passed by peacefully. Jacob had learnt his lesson, so he made sure to limit the times Emily visited her parents. Furthermore, whenever Emily visited them, he would also be present so that her parents could not fill Emily's head with ridiculous chatter.

In truth, Emily's mother wanted to see her biological daughter again. When she raised Emily all those years ago, somehow she subconsciously transferred her feelings for her own daughter to Emily, who could never be as good as her own daughter.

As for Emily's father, who was not like his wife at all, Andrew failed to care for Emily from the very beginning. He was always heartless and cruel to Emily. As long as there was money for him to eat and drink, he was satisfied. Lately, he was starting to crave money again, and wondered how he could trick Emily into giving him some money. However, since Jacob was always around, he was afraid to mention anything to Emily.

When Andrew heard that his wife wanted to see Tina, he impatiently furrowed his brows. He said,"That disgraceful girl Tina, I think even if you can remember her, I'm sure she doesn't remember you at all. She is even worse than Emily!"

"You don't think she has a conscience? Why do you think she does not have a conscience? It is because she is your daughter! It's in your bloody genes!" replied Mrs. Bai. Emily's mother couldn't tolerate anyone talking negatively about her own daughter. She looked at Andrew with contempt and said,"Don't you forget, even if she is worse than Emily, the blood running in her veins is ours! That is something you cannot erase!

What if Emily finds out the truth of her identity in the future? Do you think that she will still look after you? Eventually we will have to depend on our real daughter, the one with our blood!"
