A Call That Changed Her Entire Life Chapter 350 You Take Me As Your Daughter !

Beryl's words gave Jacob mixed feelings. On one hand, he was happy to hear Beryl say that she liked
him, but on the other hand, he felt guilty because he knew he would eventually have to break her heart.
Jacob frowned and said, "Beryl, I can't be your boyfriend."

"Why not?" asked Beryl, eyes as wide as they could stretch.

Jacob slowly answered, "Because I'm your father."

The babysitter, standing next to Beryl, widened her eyes and wondered, 'Father?

He is also Beryl's father? Then what about Mr. Jack? Who is Beryl's real father?'

The world of rich people is complicated.

As strange as it was, Beryl didn't look surprised. Instead, her cheeks turned red as ripe tomatoes, and
she yelled, "That's your excuse? You're my father? Really? That's such a bad excuse!"

"Beryl, it's not an excuse. It's the truth. I am your father," explained Jacob.

"There are many men chasing after my mommy, and they all want to be my father. You're just like the
rest of them. You've got no chance," she said. Beryl was obviously upset, but she continued, "Am I not
good enough?

Why did you turn me down?"

"Beryl, listen to me," Jacob tried to explain again.

Displeased, Beryl pouted her lips and turned her head aside. She was no longer willing to look at
Jacob's face or listen to him. "No! No! No!" she refused.



Jacob found Beryl's angry little red face utterly adorable. The way her voice went high-pitched every
time she got angry at him made his heart melt with joy.

However, before Jacob could say anything, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind. "Beryl!"

Jacob's eyes widened, and his body froze on the spot. He took a deep breath to calm his throbbing
heart, before he stood up slowly. He turned around and said, "Hi, Miss Lu."

Jacob didn't call her "Emily", since they were not the only ones there. Since Emily wanted the world to
think that she was Cloris Lu, he did not want to expose who she was.

Emily's mouth was frozen, wide open. This was not the scene Emily expected to see when she got
back from work today. Although, she was staring straight at Jacob, she appeared not to notice him at
all.

'Jacob has found Beryl!

How did he come to learn about Beryl?' Emily desperately tried to connect the dots in her head.

Deep in her heart, Emily knew that she could not keep Beryl hidden away from Jacob forever. She
knew that a day would come when Jacob would find out about Beryl, but she just didn't expect the day
to come so soon. Nothing could have prepared her for this.

"Mommy!" Beryl ran into Emily's arms immediately, and started crying.

However, Emily understood that Beryl was just pretended. Instead of calling her out on it, Emily asked,
"What's wrong?"

"It's all his fault! That handsome uncle!" Beryl pointed her little finger at Jacob, as she continued crying
hysterically.



Emily's line of sight followed Beryl's finger and ended on Jacob's face. She could tell by his facial
expression that he was feeling awkward. "No, it's not like that. I'm not..." he tried to explain.

"It's you! It's you! It's all your fault!" Beryl shouted. Jacob's blunt rejection broke Beryl's heart, and now
she was rigid with fury. She attributed her anger to him.

'How could he turn down such a cute girl like me?

I can't believe he gave me such an awful excuse! No!

I hate you!' Beryl cried in her heart.

Clearly, Jacob was not very good at dealing with kids. He only knew how to take care of kids when they
were well-behaved. However, when it came to dealing with their temper tantrums, he had absolutely no
idea what to do.

Emily knew that Beryl was just throwing a hissy fit and half of what she was saying was not true.
However, since Emily didn't want Jacob to get too close to Beryl, she took advantage of the
circumstances and played along, "All right, all right, mommy will take you inside now. Baby, come home
now!"

Baby was the name of Beryl's puppy. This puppy was not only Beryl's pet, but also a member of her
family.

Jacob watched as the little puppy scurried along behind Emily and Beryl. He knew that the puppy was
a gift Jack gave to Beryl to win her favor. 'The dog was a good idea, Jack, ' he thought.

But, so what? Jack could never change the fact that Beryl was Jacob's real daughter. Jacob had
already made up his mind that even if Beryl was not his own daughter, he would do his best to be the
girl's father.



On this point, it was first time that Jacob and Jack had tacit understanding.

"Mommy, let's go home! I don't want to see him," said Beryl, as she peeked at Jacob for a second and
then turned away in Emily's arms at once.

"Mr. Jacob," said Emily, "We have to leave now." But what Emily really wanted to say was, 'We don't
want to see you here again'.

Beryl stuck her tongue out to Jacob, before she capered inside with her puppy in one hand and Emily's
hand on the other.

Jacob stood still and watched them walk away silently. He didn't try to stop them or say something. A
flash of disappointment appeared in his eyes, as he lowered his head and stood there by himself.

After Emily shut the door, she pulled Beryl into her arms and asked, "Honey, what are you thinking
about? Do you want to tell mommy?"

Beryl winked at her and answered, "I don't know what you are talking about. Mommy, why would you
ask me that?"

Emily licked her lips and remained silent.

Beryl looked at Emily, and paused for a moment to think, before she asked, "Mommy, that cute uncle
told me that he's my father. Is that true?"

"Of course not," Emily denied quickly, without any hesitation.

Relieved, Beryl screamed with excitement, "Yeah! Then he can be my..."

But before she could finish, Emily flicked her softly on the forehead and said, "What are you talking
about? You really need to be taught a lesson, don't you? This is neither the time, nor the age to be



talking about such things!"

"Mmm..." Beryl was a very observant child. Just by the look on Emily's face, she could tell that her
mother was being serious. Beryl grumbled, "I... I didn't mean it like that. But he is so cute! I just..."

Emily was amused by Beryl's shallow answer, and she tried hard not to laugh. "Just because he is
cute, you like him very much and you want him to be your boyfriend? What if you meet someone cuter?
You'll want them both?" she asked Beryl.

"No! I won't!" Beryl whispered, "But the moment I laid eyes on him, I fell in love with him."

Emily was dumbfounded by her daughter's precociousness. Beryl was so young, how could she know
what love was at her age? She was obsessing over Jacob, as if he were a new toy that she wanted to
own.

"Don't you want to know who your daddy is?" Suddenly, Emily brought up the topic she had been
avoiding for many years.

Beryl got nervous. All of a sudden, she had butterflies in her stomach. Her eyes scampered around the
room skittishly, and she answered, "Mommy, you don't have to tell me that now. I don't want to know. I
am not interested."

'Was that cute uncle telling me the truth? Is he my real daddy?' Beryl wondered.

Beryl was unwilling to accept that possibility!

"Do you still remember Uncle Jack?" Emily ignored Beryl's answer and continued, "The one who sent
you the puppy, that Uncle Jack. Mommy needs to tell you the truth about your father.

Your father is Uncle Jack."



Emily knew that Beryl was smart enough to figure it out even if she didn't tell her.

Everything made sense now. That's why Jack didn't took Emily's business away. Since Beryl was
Jack's real daughter, it was unnecessary to hide the fact anyway.

It was Beryl's right to know who her father was.

Beryl, however, didn't seem surprised. The calm look on her face implied that she had already known
about it. Beryl yawned and then said, "I know that, mommy. I know that Uncle Jack is my daddy, but
what does that have to do with that cute uncle?"

As far as Beryl was concerned, she was still allowed to like him anyway.

Emily sighed and continued, "Beryl, that cute uncle you like a lot... is your father's uncle."

"Daddy's uncle?" Shocked, Beryl repeated Emily's words, and she shook her head in disbelief. Every
part of her mind went on a pause while her thoughts caught up. Her brain exploded, unable to process
the new information she had just been given.
