A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 169

Everywhere he looked, David couldn't find Rita in Jingshi City. It never entered his mind that Rita would be hiding in one of Jacob's mansions.

Earlier that day:

When Rita woke up in the hospital, she saw Emily. Not seeing David there beside her, she felt a little upset.

'Well, I suppose he's with Nora now.

But does he even know that I slipped and fell down, and the cause of that was because someone greased the soles of my shoes? I bet Nora had something to do with it.

Well, even if he knew about it, he will do nothing, because Nora was his unforgettable first love, and nothing in the world is more important than that.

This was his last chance. But he missed it.

Because he was not here when I needed him the most, there's no need for him to be with me at all from now on.'

Looking at Emily, who was taking care of her, Rita felt warm. 'Fortunately, I'm not alone now.'

"Emily, I want to ask you a favor."

Looking at her and smiling, Emily said,"We are friends, Rita. No need to say those words. I'll do everything I can for you."

Rita took a deep breath and slowly said,"I want to leave Jingshi City with my child."

"What?" Wide eyed and astounded, Emily asked,"Why do you want to do that, Rita?

"Nothing. I just don't want to see David anymore."

"You want to hide from him?"

"No." Rita said firmly and coldly,"I want to forget that he is the father of my child."

"..." Not knowing what to say, Emily became silent for a while. Then she tried to point out,"But your body condition now..."

"That's why I need your help."

Emily hesitated. She also thought that David was irresponsible and that he was not the right man for Rita, but now their child had just be born and he would grow up without a father... As Emily didn't know what had happened between David and Rita, she could not make a decision immediately.

But the moment she saw the look on Rita's face, putting all her hope on Emily, she decided to help Rita. 'No matter what had happened between them, I will stand on the side of my friend and respect all of her decisions.'

"Okay, let me take care of it."

"Thank you, Emily," Rita said sincerely and gratefully, holding Emily's hand.

Both Emily and Rita knew clearly that if they wanted to do it successfully, they must ask for Jacob's help. Only he could hide Rita, without letting David notice.

Not knowing what price Emily paid to let Jacob help her, Rita and her child were moved into one of Jacob's mansions. At her disposal, there were several maternity matrons, baby-sitters, chefs, bodyguards, and even doctors. Everything she needed was prepared for her to live there comfortably.

No matter how hard David tried to find her, he would not succeed, because this was Jacob's house. It was just a piece of cake for him to hide a person in one of his own houses.

Rita knew that. Thanks to Emily, she could enjoy all of these. If it wasn't for her, Jacob, a cold and merciless man, would never help anyone he was not familiar with. It was much worse that the favor she asked was to hide her from his friend...

'I will remember their kindness forever, ' Rita thought.

Gazing at the baby sleeping beside her, Rita touched his wrinkled face. Although she still thought that he was a little bit ugly, a gentle and tender look that only a mother could have, appeared on her face.

The next day, at the Tyrone Mansion:

The result of Emily spending the night at Jacob's mansion was an all-nighter of love making, lasting for several hours. As a result, she didn't wake up until noon the next day.

'Well, as expected, it's not easy to ask for Jacob's help. The price of that was last night's big event.

He claimed that he felt guilty about lying to his friend for me, so I should compensate him. We made love again and again, and he didn't stop until I fainted.'

"Good." Emily also heard Jacob saying last night before she passed out. "You stayed awake much longer than the last time. Exercising really has its benefits. Keep going."

'What... did he mean by that? The time before I fainted was much longer than the last time?'

Emily was too tired to think of the meaning of what Jacob said and drifted off to sleep.

The next day, she woke up, pulled back the quilt, and found that there were love bites all over her body...

which, undoubtedly, were done by Jacob.

'He was like a hungry animal. I don't think I can last long, living with this guy!'

Emily then got up and had something to eat. After that, she wanted to visit Rita, but Jacob thought that it still wasn't safe for her to go there. He explained,"If you go to visit her now, David would easily suspect that something is going on."

"That makes sense. I'll visit her in a few days." Emily agreed with Jacob and gave up her plan.

Pulling Emily into his arms, Jacob smiled and teased,"You should spend your time on something more meaningful, don't you think?"

Emily immediately understood the underlying meaning of what he said, and her face blushed. She asked,"Don't you have anything else in your mind, except sex?"

"What?" Jacob pretended to be very confused, and said,"I meant you should exercise. What are you talking about?"

"I..."

"You took it the wrong way."

With her face blushing, Emily fiercely denied,"NO!"

'Well, it was all his fault. He often talked about having sex using the same kind of tone. If he never talks in that tone, I wouldn't misunderstand him.' Emily rolled her eyes at the thought.

"Don't you have anything else in your mind, except for sex?" Jacob mimicked Emily, using the same sentence that she asked him, in the exact same tone she made first.

Emily stared at him and said,"I'll exercise right now. As you wish."

After saying that, she walked out.

Jacob followed her and joked,"Yes, you should exercise. Last night you were too tired and fell asleep again."

Hearing that, Emily staggered a step and thought, 'Now is not the right time to talk about this, okay?'

In order to leave Jacob behind. Emily quickened her pace. But soon she realized what Jacob really meant. 'He asked me to exercise to keep myself awake longer while we are making love...

Well, I won't go and exercise. I stepped into his trap again...'

Meanwhile, David kept looking for Rita and their child almost everywhere in the Jingshi City area. When he found that all the real estate that he gave to Rita had been sold off, he finally understood what was happening.

Rita was hiding from him, and it was carefully planned.

"Damn it!" David shouted, with his face all tired and gloomy.

'This woman is playing me. I must find her!'

One week later, thinking that David may have already forgotten about Rita, Emily couldn't wait to visit Rita anymore.

And surely, she would go and buy some gifts for the baby.

Emily told Jacob that she would go to the maternity and baby store after work, but to her surprise, Jacob said that he would go with her.

In the maternity and baby store, there was a huge variety of goods.

This was not the first time that Emily visited a maternity shop. The last time she visited one was when she herself, was falsely diagnosed as pregnant.

Jack and Rose were also there that time, and they were buying a baby carriage. Even so, neither Rose nor Emily had the chance to use those baby products in the end.
