A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 154

Emily raised her head and smiled back. "Why? What should I be careful about?" she asked.

Suddenly, Jacob pulled her to his loving embrace and tried to kiss her.

However, Emily, being as nimble as she was, evaded his arms and quickly moved to the gift boxes. "Can I open it?" she said, laughing while reaching for one.

Jacob grinned like a cheshire cat and replied,"Of course you can."

Emily unwrapped the box and found something scintillating inside. "Diamond?" she exclaimed, her eyes glowing with wonderment.

She opened another, and then another box... It turned out every box had a fine-cut diamond.

Emily's eyes dazzled with astonishment. Baffled by Jacob's gifts, she asked,"You put a diamond in each of these boxes?"

Jacob didn't say anything, and he just smiled back at her. He had always thought that diamonds were the perfect gifts for Emily. "You said you liked jewelry," he said.

"I did, but I meant designing jewelries, not owning so many diamonds! These must have cost you a lot," she said. The thought of the cost of such extravagant gifts made Emily gasp.

"I have money," said Jacob, as humbly as he could possibly sound.

"I know, but you shouldn't..." Emily complained, but she was also flattered by his loving gesture. "I prefer the Christmas tree you made more than these diamonds," she said to him.

Jacob's ears were burning again, patiently, he replied,"... as you wish my dear."

People on the square were all astounded when they realized that each of the gift boxes contained a shining diamond inside them. Is this what rich relationships look like? A diamond tree, for God's sake!

"Kiss her! Kiss her!" someone shouted, from the crowd.

Jacob looked at Emily, his dark eyes, soft and gentle. "Come here," he said.

Emily turned to look at Jacob's eyes. She had just noticed that Jacob was looking sharp and handsome in his black suit. Emily, on the contrary, stood next to him, in her pink pyjamas and an old jacket that looked like her grandma's.

'I should have dressed up before going out.' Emily thought. With so many people on the square...

Now she felt embarrassed.

Jacob stepped closer, and asked,"What are you thinking about?"

"I wasn't..." But before she could finish her words, Jacob stopped her with his lips.

He held her face and gave her a gentle, passionate kiss, as if he had poured all his love into his kiss.

The atmosphere on the square was full of love. The people rejoiced their love for each other. Soon, couples were hugging and kissing each other under the Christmas tree.

Soon, lumps of wet flakes drifted down from the skies, weightlessly, like colorless confetti. The snow enveloped everything in a calm, silent coldness that was comforting in its own special way. Jacob kissed Emily's forehead, where a snowflake melted in his soft, warm breath.

Someone was taking a picture of them. Jacob heard the sound of clicking, and caught sight of the flashing lights.

Incensed, he searched through the crowd. His cold, eyes discovered a young girl, who dropped her cellphone to the ground when she noticed Jacob glaring at her.

Jacob walked towards her and picked up the phone. He then checked the photos with an impassive face.

"I... I am really sorry. I will delete them." The girl apologized immediately. She was afraid that Jacob was going to smash her phone to pieces.

She didn't want to get into any trouble.

"Take better pictures, will you?" Jacob said in an indifferent voice as he returned her cellphone to her.

"What?" The girl stood there in confusion for a second, and mumbled,"... all...all right."

The sound of cameras clicking was back. "Smile please!" The girl said after snapping a few photos.

Emily giggled, amused by the girl's comments. She looked at Jacob's face, and then squeezed his cheeks. "You should smile a little bit," she insisted.

Jacob played along. She was the only person who could make him agree to anything, because he only wanted her to be spoiled by him.

Click! The girl caught the picture-perfect moment in a photograph.

After half an hour, they were done posing for the cameras.

Jacob asked to borrow the girl's phone, so he could transfer all the photos to his phone. Nonchalantly, after he was done transferring the pictures, he then deleted them from the girl's phone without saying a word.

"Be nice to her," Emily hinted Jacob.

"I am being nice," said Jacob, pretending to be serious. "I am nice to everyone," he said, and then he whispered,"Just not to you, you twerp."

Emily did not have the words to respond to Jacob's jokes.

Wow!

A sweet public display of affection!

Emily insisted on carrying the tree herself when they went back.

After dinner, Emily turned off all the lights to watch the crystal lights on the tree, while Jacob helped her hang all the diamonds as ornaments.

Overwhelmed, Emily was watching the radiant tree with wonder, when Jacob suddenly sneaked up on her from behind, and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"May I... stay here tonight?" he asked. His deep and sweet voice echoed behind her ears. His breath raised the hair on her skin.

Her body stiffened, she felt like she was losing control over her senses, Jacob, however, had no intentions on giving her time to think. He pressed her against the sofa and kissed her. "I will take that as a 'yes'," he said.

"Mmmmm..." Even if Emily was trying to say something before, she was now rendered incapable of saying anything at all.

Jacob clasped both of her hands and kissed her harder...

Silvery flakes drifted down, glittering in the bright light of the moon.
