A Call That Changed Her Entire Life Chapter 39 Please, Don't Leave

"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?"

Suddenly, Jacob's face frowned painfully. He didn't go through all the trouble of getting in, just so she
could drive him away so easily.

"Jack is still outside. Are you sure you want me to go out at this moment?"

Instead of waiting for Emily's response, he proceeded towards the door and pretended to leave.

Surprised and unsure of what to do, without putting much thought into it, she hugged him from behind
and cried out, "Don't leave!"

Jack heard Emily from the outside and thought that she was talking to him, so he replied right away, "I
will never leave you!"

Startled by Jack's voice, Emily became more nervous. In her stupor, she didn't realize that her hands
were tightly wrapped around the man's slender waist. When she came to her sense, she let go of him
immediately.



Meanwhile, Jacob once again proceeded towards the door.

Emily did what she could to stop him: she hugged from the back again. This time she leaned her face
to his back and whispered, "Jacob, please don't go out now..."

"Okay."

Jacob looked down at her small hands around his waist. The corners of his thin lips raised up slowly.
With a low voice, he said, "Beg me."

Emily wanted to punch him straight in the face, but she decided to play along. "Jacob, please don't
leave."

Although it was just an ordinary sentence, when Emily finished talking and looked into Jacob's coal
black eyes, she found a different meaning.

They looked like two sweethearts fresh in love and they didn't want to say good bye with each other...

Emily shook her head to get the absurd idea out of her mind. Suddenly, she felt a big hand brush
through her hair.

"Okay, I won't go."

Jacob's smug facial expression made it look like as if he was only staying back because she wanted
him to. This drove Emily up the wall.

When Emily was certain that Jacob wouldn't change his mind anymore, she quickly released her hands
from his waist and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, what Emily didn't know was that If Jacob really wanted to leave, even a few strong men
would fail to stop him, let alone herself.



Regardless of how she felt, Emily feigned basic politeness, after all, Jacob was her guest. She asked
him to sit and keep his voice down before she went to the kitchen.

Emily didn't prepare anything even though it was her birthday because she had completely forgotten
about it herself. She found some fresh ribs in the fridge and decided to make noodles with ribs soup.

When Emily was watching the fire attentively, the man who was sitting in the living room walked into the
kitchen quietly. He leaned against the door, and watched her in secret.

Emily's long hair was tied back, revealing the soft white skin on her neck. Emily didn't get the chance to
change, so she was still wearing her work clothes. She just put on a pink apron, and watched the pork
ribs soup patiently. She was exuding effortless grace and elegance.

The woman he had chosen was truly a sight to behold. Jacob pondered in admiration as he watched
her from a distance.

Emily was about to stir up the ribs soup using the long spoon she was holding. Suddenly, she got
startled when she saw Jacob, "You..."

Caught by surprise, she accidentally dropped the spoon into the pot, causing hot soup to splash on the
back of her hand. She screamed in agony, "Ouch…"

Jacob's face turned serious as he went over to her almost immediately. He held her hand and place it
under the water tap.

Jacob stared at her hand as her skin reddened very quickly. He yelled at her, "How can you be so
careless?"

Emily whispered, "Who asked you to scare me from behind?

Sneaking in without a sound..."



"Well, that's my fault."

"Hey, what..."

Emily could not believe her ears. Did Jacob...

Really admit that it was his fault?

"I wouldn't have scared you if I knew you were so careless and clumsy."

Emily, "……" Sure enough, he was still teasing her.

Jacob turned off the faucet and pushed her out. "Go and get the medicine."

"No, the soup is not ready yet."

"I will do it."

"You?"

With a skeptical look on her face, Emily said, "Are you kidding me?"

People like Jacob who were born from wealth weren't expected to be seen doing manual labour. Was
this the first time for him to be in a kitchen? Was he even sure that he would not ruin her ribs soup?

Jacob looked at her face and said with a smile, "Do you want me to carry you out of here?"

Emily immediately turned around and disappeared within seconds. She believed Jacob was
undoubtedly capable of doing that.

She rummaged through the medical kit and found the ointment. After rubbing it on her wound, she ran
to the kitchen and watched as the man chopped the green onion skillfully. She was totally amazed.



Jacob noticed her sparkling eyes, but did not say anything. He continued to pour the pork ribs soup into
the soup pot, and then changed the pot, pouring the water into the soup and adding oil. After it was
ready, he added the noodles.

It looked like that Jacob knew what he was doing. It was hard to believe that people like Jacob still
cooked for themselves.

Although Emily was watching him with all seriousness, every movement of this man seemed to be
pleasing to the eye. It was a little more refreshing than his usual disinterested look. Even the energy
around his whole body seemed to have softened.

Emily was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to eat food prepared by the president of the Gu
Consortium. How lucky she was! Who knew whether it tasted good or not...

If it didn't taste good, would Emily have to pretend to like it, in order to spare his feelings?

Jacob wasn't aware of the complex debate that was going on in Emily's mind. When the food was
ready, he put the two bowls filled with noodles on the table.

Emily looked at the two bowls of ribs noodles curiously. It was obvious that there were more ribs in her
bowl than Jacob's. She exclaimed, "I can't have so much."
