A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 158

When Jack walked inside the dressing room, he happened to see an employee ran out with her hands covering her face. He looked at the girl rushing out of the room, then he turned to Rose, looking at her with disdain.

"Have you finished the dressing up?"

In a moment, that arrogant expression that Rose was wearing while shouting at the employee changed into a gentle smile,"Not yet. Getting married is a big deal as well as trying on the wedding dress," she said.

Jack did not answer. Then, she spoke in a lower voice,"Actually I prefer MA, especially its high fashion design branch. After all, it's our wedding, and we deserve the best."

MA was indeed the best wedding-dress design in the world. It was not worth mentioning that was way expensive, and it only accepted men's reservations. A man could buy an MA's wedding dress only once in his life, which made it very precious.

Rose loved those wedding-dresses, so she tried many times to push Jack in buying one without saying it directly. However, he always pretended not to be listening, so she had to put the cards on the table.

Jack's face turned cold and his lips curled into a contemptuous smile. "Do you think... you deserve it?"

Her face suddenly froze, as she was struck by these words and did not know what to say. Every inch of her body was filled with pure hatred. Fortunately, there were no other people listening, and no one would have even known about the true nature of their relationship.

She took a deep breath and smiled. "Well, this wedding dress here is pretty good. I like it as well," she said.

It didn't matter whether Jack liked her. She was about to become Jack's wife and give birth to his child, and Emily instead was destined to be a loser forever! Even if Emily was still with Jacob, how long would their relationship last? After all, Jacob was way too much for her!

Jack smirked coldly,"It doesn't matter which one you choose," a bit of sarcasm in its voice.

'You won't have the chance to wear it anyway, ' he told himself.

How did she dare to ask for an MA's dress? He had the chance to buy that wedding dress only once in a lifetime, and that was for Emily, not for others!

Either way, he had come over only to satisfy Mr. Gu. Now time was up.

"I have to go now. The driver will take you back when you have finished," he said while walking away.

"Mr. Jack! Mr. Jack..." She wanted to ask him to stay with her a bit longer, but all she got was to see his back walking away, making her feel teased and unwanted.

Everybody in the Wedding Dress shop had become her punching bag. People were afraid to serve this bride-to-be of the Gu clan. She was bitter and mean, and those poor people lived with the constant fear of being shouted and mistreated.

Better not to mess up with a woman like her!

After hours of torturing everyone over and over again, Rose felt exhausted, for that pregnancy was taking away all her strengths. Thus, she decided to go for the most expensive wedding dress, and then she left.

Rose returned to Jack's home where she had been living for a while already. She was going upstairs to get some rest when she found Jack waiting for her. It was a lovely surprise because he had never spent time at home since he invited her to stay at his place. She was delighted to be with him,"Mr. Jack, when did you come back?" she asked.

Jack didn't answer her question, but he stayed still, his eyes pointing at her for a few seconds. Suddenly he started speaking,"How are you doing lately?"

Rose looked extremely flattered,"I...I am doing fine."

How long since Jack hasn't cared for her in this way?

"Fine? But you seem kind of exhausted to me." It was hard to tell from his expression what Jack had in his mind.

Rose lifted slightly the corners of her lips in which seemed to be a smile. Then she sat down beside him,"It is exhausting, indeed! But the thought that I am carrying our child, makes me more powerful than ever!"

"Really?"

''Yes." Jack's attitude seemed to be slightly better than in the past few days, so Rose was less shy to deal with him. Seeing that he looked apparently excited, she smiled happily again,"I will give birth to a healthy boy for you!"

She took his hand and pressed it against her belly. "Can you feel it? It's moving!"

Jack felt the movement of the fetus above the palm of his hand. He stared coldly at his right hand for a moment, while his eyes looked more absent than ever.

If he was still with Emily, they would have had a child by now, wouldn't they?

He wondered how Emily would look like if she was pregnant... It would have been surely different, for she was nothing like Rose, who was mean and vicious. Emily would have been a gentle and caring mother.

Jack was like this. When he liked someone, he would love every inch of that person; when he hated someone, he would find all the shortcomings of him or her. He was so blind that he had let his love go away, but now he wanted to have her back...

"Mr. Jack?" Having seen him completely absent minded, Rose couldn't help calling him.

He immediately returned to himself and took his hand back. His eyes slowly cooled as he said,"I have hired a doctor. Why don't you choose a date?"

'Choose a date? A date for what?'

The baby was just six months old and she already did the routine controls. What was he up to? Rose was confused.

She couldn't figure out what Jack meant until she heard his voice again,"Choose a date to abort."

'To abort? To kill my baby?'

She froze and the smile on her face disappeared. "What did you... what did you just said?" she asked nervously.

Jack looked like they were having a normal talk, as if he asked her how was the weather today,"I want you to choose a date to abort the baby. Don't worry. The doctors are the best in town."

It was not the first time he asked her to abort. The very first time she didn't follow his order and saved the child. In this way she got the chance to trick him into a marriage, giving Jacob another chance to step towards Emily... This time she couldn't even blame him for being cruel, because she had been cruel as well.

"Why? Why!" Rose didn't want to believe what she had just heard, with tears starting to drop off instantly. She still tried to make him change his mind,"But this is our baby!" she cried,"It is your own flesh and blood. How can you let him die?"

"He should blame his mother." Jack's compassion was not moved,"His mother didn't deserve to give him birth."

"It's not just your child. It is a life! Mr. Jack, even if you won't like him, he has the right to live! Give him the opportunity to see this world... I know you hate me, but I can give birth to this baby, then I could go far away for as long as he lives... if this is what it takes! I want to save this little life!" She cried all this among tears. It was a really pitiful scene.

"What a great mother." Jack smiled sarcastically,"I'm afraid I would have believed you only if you hadn't taken advantage of your pregnancy to trick me into this marriage."

"Mr. Jack, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me..."

"It is too late. You are false and vicious, Rose." Jack raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then stood up and said,"Since you won't choose the date, I am going to help you decide. The time will be set in three days from now."

"No..." Now Rose was panicking.

The child she was carrying was the guarantee of her future of prosperity. If it was to be aborted, Jack would abandon her sooner or later, and she will be left alone.

'No!' She must find a way to keep the child!
