A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 170

Thinking of this, Emily couldn't help but sneak a glance at Jacob. He must have been expecting that child too, but unfortunately it was just a false alarm.

"How may I help you? Is there anything you'd like to see, ma'am and sir?" A young salesgirl hurried to entertain Emily and Jacob warmly, seeing them well dressed.

Emily noticed that the salesgirls were new. She smiled politely and said,"Let me look around by myself first. If I need any help, I will let you know."

"Okay sure! I will just be here if you need anything." The salesgirl slightly bowed.

"Okay." Emily looked at the small shoes and hats. They were so cute! Holding up a pair, she turned and asked Jacob,"What do you think of these?"

Although she knew Jacob had sent Sam to take care of the baby supplies, she still wanted to buy something for Rita's baby herself.

"It's nice." Jacob's tone was serious this time.

Emily continued to look around, asking Jacob about his opinion from time to time. Every time, Jacob would reply and even make a comment.

But what she didn't notice was that Jacob's eyes did not fall upon the things that she was holding but stayed glued on her, and his eyes were too tender to be true.

The shop assistants were watching, and they were dying of the romantic thrill and heart melting scene unfolding in front of their eyes.

At last Emily decided on the baby things she wanted and Jacob paid the bill. They were about to walk out the maternity and baby shop, when they ran into someone most unexpected to be there.

"David!" Emily gasped.

"What are you two doing here?" He was just as surprised, sweeping his eyes from Emily then to Jacob. He looked around to make sure that he was in the right store, then rested his eyes on the couple in front of him. Judging from what they were carrying in their hands, it was apparent that they had bought a few baby things from that shop. His eyes narrowed with suspicion.

He was just passing by and saw this shop by chance. He knew Rita would not be there at this time, but he still couldn't help walking in.

And although he had had the best maternal and infant supplies purchased, they were bought by other people. As the father of the child, he wanted to buy a few things that he chose himself. When he eventually got to see his child, they could be of use.

But he had never thought that he would run into Jacob and Emily here. They had no children and were not pregnant. What was their business buying maternal and infant things?

'Could it be possible that...'

An idea was about to take form in David's mind, but was interrupted by Jacob.

"We are already buying maternal and infant supplies, because we are planning to have children. We can do that, can't we?"

Hearing this, David did not know what to say. He choked back what he wanted to say, but answered,"I just asked casually. If you have any news about Rita, please tell me at once."

As he spoke, his eyes were drawn to Emily.

Emily felt somewhat guilty and she turned away, trying not to look at David. There was a slight nervousness in her face. The next second Jacob shielded her behind him. His thin lips opened slightly and his voice was mighty and domineering. "Don't stare at my woman!"

Hearing this, David also looked away immediately and said,"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Then he turned and left. He wasn't really in the mood to visit the maternal and baby shop in the first place.

Seeing David leave, Emily took a big sigh of relief. She gripped Jacob by the hand and said,"Was this supposed to happen?"

Jacob's expression was slightly frozen and his eyes were somewhat serious. "Not necessarily."

Emily suddenly became nervous and she said,"Then, what should we do?"
