A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1509 Go Back To Work

On the other side, after Bonnie left the cafe, Emily made her way home alone.

She had known Bonnie for a while now, and thought that she was kind and sweet. She had always had a good impression of Bonnie.

However, Emily was worried about Bonnie staying with Darren. She was afraid Bonnie would get hurt. She wanted to help her, but she could not find a way.

In fact, Emily had been worried about this matter for quite a while. She could not sleep or eat well because of it.

When Jacob came back from work, he saw Emily sitting there brooding.

"Are you okay, Emily? What are you thinking over there? You're so lost in your thoughts that you didn't even notice my return. What happened? Is everything all right?" Jacob put his briefcase aside and loosened the tie around his neck.

"I went to see Bonnie today. We had coffee together," Emily replied. Emily wanted to tell Jacob what she was thinking and ask him to help her.

"And then? Did something go wrong?" Jacob guessed that something must have happened.

"It turns out that Bonnie doesn't know who Darren really is. She thought he was just an ordinary man called Danny," Emily answered. She was afraid that Darren was cheating Bonnie and getting away with it by using a fake name.

"Really?" Jacob was surprised.

"Yes. That's why I'm so worried about her. I'm scared that Darren will do something to hurt her. After all, Bonnie is so simple and so kind. Who knows what a freak like Darren is capable of doing to her?"

Emily felt nervous every time she thought about Bonnie living under the same roof as Darren.

"Maybe it's not like that at all. Maybe Darren didn't tell Bonnie the truth because of some things he should consider. Don't think about it too much," Jacob comforted Emily. He thought Darren was not as bad as Emily thought he was.

"How can I not think about it? He lies to Bonnie's face every day. I want to help her, but I don't know how," Emily said with a sad look on her face. She felt helpless.

"Well, just don't stress yourself over it. Look at it from another perspective. If Darren really wanted to hurt Bonnie, he would have done so already. The two of them have been together for a long, long time. They're doing just fine, so don't worry about them."

What made Jacob and Emily feel differently about Darren and Bonnie's relationship was that Jacob thought that Darren and Bonnie had changed subtly ever since they had decided to be together.

"But..." Emily was about to say, but somebody pushed the door open from the outside.

"Mom!"

The kids had just gotten home from school. As soon as they entered the room, they ran into Emily's arms.

"Didn't you two see me? Why did you only call for your mommy when you came in?" Jacob pretended to be jealous.

"Daddy!" The kids shouted at the same time.

"That's more like it," Jacob said with a smile.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

"Well, now that you guys are home from school, you should go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. I've asked the cook to prepare your favorite cola chicken wings tonight," Emily said.

Every time she saw her lovely children, she would forget about all the things that were troubling her.

"Okay!"

After taking their seats at the table, the children could not help sharing all the interesting things they had encountered at school today. Jacob and Emily listened to their stories with smiles on their faces and joy in their hearts.

The family had a lovely meal together.

"Now that you have finished eating, I have some good news for you. Would you like to hear it?" Jacob said mysteriously.

"What good news? Tell us, please!" The children looked at Jacob with wide, curious eyes.

"Here is the thing. Something went wrong with the company recently, so I won't have to go to work for the time being. I can rest for some time. With that being said, I've decided to take you on a family trip. What do you think?"

Hearing what Jacob said, the children clapped their hands and cheered.

"Yes, yes, yes! Oh, we're going on a family trip!

That's great. Daddy. Where are we going?" they asked immediately.

"I haven't decided yet. I will tell you after discussing with your mother, okay?" Jacob replied with a doting smile.

"Okay. We will wait for it," the kids said together.

"Very well. You two go to your room and do your homework. If you don't behave, I won't let you have time to play," Emily told the children.

As soon as they heard that they could lose playtime, the children climbed down from their chairs and went to their room to do their homework like their mother said.

"Is it true that you're taking us on a family trip, Jacob? Have you discussed it with David?" Emily did not want to bring more burden to Jacob.

"Not yet, but I'll call him now. It won't be a big deal to him," Jacob said.

After receiving a phone call from Jacob and being informed that he was going to travel with his whole family, David felt anxious. Jacob could not take a family vacation right now because the company still had a lot to deal with.

"You can't leave now, Jacob. I still have so many things to do in the company. If you leave, I can't deal with them myself," David said on the other end of the line.

"I don't care about that. Besides, I've been dealing with the company's affairs for a long time. This time, I'll leave it to you," Jacob said firmly. He seemed to have made up his mind.

"Please don't do this to me right now, Jacob. Do you really want to abandon me like this? I've been your friend for so many years. Don't treat me like this," David retorted from the other end of the line.

Jacob must have guessed that David would react like this. He then put him on speaker.

Hearing David's voice on the phone, Emily could not help laughing. David was always so prone to panic.

"Hello? Hello? Are you still there?"

David sensed that something had gone wrong. He had said so much, but Jacob did not respond.

"Are you done, David? If you are, I'll hang up. I'll see you when we get back," Jacob told David and hung up.

He did not give David a chance to argue any more.

Jacob took Emily and the kids on a family trip, and the whole vacation was very happy and sweet.

Jacob thought that during his absence, Darren would send more people to make trouble, but everything was unexpectedly calm.

After Jacob came back from the family trip, he went back to work.

"You're finally back. Thanks to you, I've been exhausted for the past few days." As soon as David saw Jacob, he began to complain.

"Did anything special happen in the company while I was away?" Jacob asked David seriously.
