A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 118

Seeing Emily getting dragged away by Jacob, made Rita laugh out so loud, her eyes sparkled with tears of joy. Her laughter dazzled David. In fact, she had never seen her laugh so whole-heartedly.

"Do you like chicken soup? I can ask someone to make it for you," David asked softly.

Rita kept a smile on her face as she stared at him, with a flicker of amusement in her cold eyes. "Don't bother. You can go about your business. I will take care of myself," she said.

David was already accustomed to being treated like a lackey by Rita after so many days of looking after her. However, since she wasn't giving him any attention, he felt redundant and unwanted. Was he a masochist?

"I'm not busy. I can stay here with you," said David.

Rita slightly curled her lips and said nothing.

Outside the ward, Emily struggled hard to escape from Jacob's hold, but it was in vain. "Jacob, what do you want? Don't beat around the bush and just tell me. And let me go right now..." demanded Emily.

Just as the words fell from her lips, Jacob let go of her. His face turned sour as if someone had poured mud all over his body.

"What's the matter with you? Why are you so upset?" asked Emily curiously, as she had no idea why Jacob was throwing a hissy fit.

Jacob slowly forced Emily into the corner, with a face like thunder. She sensed something was wrong with him, so she tried to slip away, but Jacob pulled her hands and pressed them against the wall, trapping her in the corner.

"Eh…… What do you want?"

"Emily, you made chicken soup for Rita! Why?"

Emily finally understood why Jacob was angry with her. Nevertheless, she didn't think she had done anything wrong. She made soup for Rita because Rita was her closest friend. Emily did nothing wrong; why would Jacob treat her like that?

Emily tried to calm him down, so she explained," Rita is weak right now and needs to be nourished with a proper home-made chicken soup, so…"

Jacob sneered, and mocked her with a childish tone," I don't want to listen to your excuses."

Emily was baffled. 'Is this guy nuts?' thought Emily.

"You never cooked that chicken soup for me!" he said.

Jacob gazed deeply into Emily's eyes, as his pupils dilated slowly. Emily was touched by his aggrieved expression. She found it somehow cute and adorable... Emily's heart melted and her voice turned soft.

"I'll make some nice chicken soup for you when I back home…" she said. Emily capitulated under his expectant gaze.

"Now!" demanded Jacob. Having achieved his goal, Jacob blurted out arrogantly in a non-negotiable tone.

"I have to get back to work soon," explained Emily.

"I'll give you a day-off," said Jacob.

"……" Jacob had arranged everything for her, the only thing she could do was to submit to his demands. "Fine, you win. I'm going to say bye to Rita and then I'll go back home to cook some chicken soup for you," said Emily.

Jacob's eyes lit up with joy as if he had just received the best birthday present of his life. Jacob took her to bid Rita farewell and then took her away.

Sitting in the car, Emily stared at his handsome face and asked," What soup do you want to eat?"

'I've never seen such a ridiculous man in my life. To think that he was jealous of a pregnant woman, ' Emily mused. Emily had never seen Jacob act so childishly before...

"What's your best soup?" he asked.

Emily mulled over his question for a while and then answered," Chicken soup."

"Okay, just make that for me," said Jacob, with great anticipation.

Emily nodded, as she stared out of the window to look at the scenery, and replied," Let's drop by the vegetable market to get some ingredients."
