A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 155 Addicted to You

What Jacob and Emily didn't know was that there was a Santa Claus quietly climbing up Emily's balcony. When he heard the sound of them making love, Santa's face went stiff. The fire of jealousy gradually lit up in his eyes and his heart broke into pieces.

He stood quietly on the balcony all night until the sound inside died down. Then he put down the big bag of presents he had been carrying and piled them on the balcony.

Before he left, he whispered,"Merry Christmas!"

What a lie! Christmas... It was not merry at all. At least, not for Santa!

When Emily woke up the next morning, she found herself lying next to Jacob. They were tangled up in each other's arms, without any clothes on. They were in their most intimate and vulnerable state.

Emily thought of how last night, Jacob had her on the sofa before they rolled down to the ground. Then they did it in the bathroom and then finally ended up in her bed... Although, she found herself running out of strength a few times, the man still wanted her. Jacob was like a thirsty beast in bed, whose hunger for her was boundless.

Emily was so tired that she couldn't find the will or energy to move. Dazed, she stared at Jacob's sleeping face for a while before she fell asleep again.

Just then, Jacob opened his well-rested eyes. He looked at her with pure love as his gentle hands softly caressed her waist.

It was almost afternoon when they both finally got out of bed. Suddenly, Emily remembered that she had to go to work today. Much to her chagrin, she said,"I'm late for work..."

"What's the hurry? I'm still here," he said.

Jacob's words relieved Emily at once. Yeah, what's the rush? The CEO was still at her home. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You still want to go to work? It seems that I didn't work hard enough last night," said Jacob, as he grinned from ear to ear, looking at her rosy face and her tempting eyes.

Emily's face blushed in an instant. Her red-hot cheeks were like ripe tomatoes. "Cut it out! You, you don't even know how to control yourself!" she said out loud.

Jacob laughed heartily. He sat up in bed, like a satiated leopard, languid and sexy. "Obviously, it is you who needs more exercise. You'd better try out some sports from now on. At least, so you won't pass out next time. Okay?" teased Jacob.

As if they weren't red enough, Emily's face became redder. Embarrassed at his words, she gently nudged him on the chest with her delicate fists and yelled,"Shut up! Stop it!"

"Okay! Okay! I will stop, or maybe we can try something else," he said with a cheeky smile on his face. Jacob took her little hand and rested it on his chest, and then held her into his arms and gave her a kiss. He didn't let go until he realized she was running out of breath.

Jacob didn't let Emily go to work, and he didn't go to work as well. Instead of going to work, Jacob just wanted to spend every second with her. He knew that he was addicted to Emily.

Jacob couldn't be blamed for ditching work, after all, he had the love of his life lying right next to him. Nothing could be more perfect for him.

"Wow! So many presents!" When Emily opened the door of the balcony, she saw a pile of colorfully wrapped gifts on the floor.

As soon as Jacob heard her voice, he ran to the balcony to have a look. The sight of those presents, displeased him immediately as he said,"These aren't from me."

Emily guessed who the gifts were from, as she responded, with a troubled look on her face,"I know."

"Throw them out!" Jacob said indifferently.

"It would be such a waste to just throw them away!" Emily blurted out without thinking.

Jacob looked at her assertively and said,"Well?"

Oblivious of Jacob's displeasure, Emily continued,"We could donate them to an orphanage. Those children would be so happy to have these Christmas gifts. Don't you think so?"

Emily resorted to her highly effective puppy dog eyes, as she insisted to Jacob. Her eyes were too charming and innocent for Jacob to refuse.

His displeasure soon dissipated, then he answered,"You are right. I will ask Sam to do that."

"You are so sweet," Emily fluttered her long eye-lashes and said to him in her sweet voice. She continued,"You're the best! Thank you so much."

"Don't look me like that. I'm afraid I cannot help..."

Before Jacob could finish his words, Emily turned around almost instantly and avoided making any kind of eye contact with him. She scampered away from the balcony and pretended to not hear what he was saying.

While, Jacob stood there puzzled and speechless.

After Christmas, Jack didn't try to contact Emily for many days. Until recently, when he started to "accidentally" run into her time and again.

Since, he wasn't being problematic, Emily decided not to tell Jacob about it. However, she consciously made an effort to avoid Jack. Eventually, Jack finally stopped.

One day, Jacob called Jack into his office.

"How's is the mother of your child doing? She is expected to give birth in a few months, isn't she?" he asked. Jacob was resting, with his back leaning against the chair. He crossed his legs and looked very causal. "Why don't you take her to home, and introduce her to your grandfather?" he suggested, and continued,"Anyway, the baby she is carrying is a child of Gu Family."

"That's none of your business," Jack replied. Long before Jack started to court Emily again, he had already dumped Rose. He even gave her a large sum of money as compensation for their break up and asked her to get an abortion.

Jacob seemed to be in a good mood today. He continued,"Since you call me uncle, I should take care of you like an uncle does."

Jack looked at him with disgust, but uttered no word.

"Besides, she has your baby now, and the both of you are in love with each other. So I have talked it over with your grandpa, and he has agreed to make an exception for you to marry her," said Jacob.

Jack finally lost control and screamed out,"No way! I would never marry her!"

If he married Rose, it would mean the end of his chances with Emily. Never! Indeed, Jacob was a conniving individual.

Watching Jack seethe with anger, put a smile on Jacob's face. "I'm sorry, but that decision is no longer yours to make," said Jacob.

Jack stared at him coldly and clenched his fist so hard that veins popped out from his wrists. "Jacob, don't forget that my grandpa is still alive," said Jack.

Jacob still had a casual countenance on his face. He raised his eyebrows and sneered. "So, my dear nephew... Are you going to bitch about me? Do you need me to cheer you on?" Jacob mocked.

"Jacob Gu!" Jack could no longer suppress his anger. Even standing in this office for one more second, was becoming unbearable. He just walked out and slammed the door behind him. "Bang!"

As expected, Jack drove to the Gu mansion as soon as he walked out of the Gu Consortium. He had only one purpose - to see his grandpa for a confirmation of Jacob's words.

Meanwhile, his grandfather was sitting in the lobby and waiting for him as if already knew he would come. He sipped tea from his cup and asked casually,"You are here?"

"Grandpa, Jacob said..."

Before Jack finished his words, his grandfather nodded and said,"Everything he said is true."

"But....but I have broken up with Rose. I do not want to marry her. Grandpa, how could you give in to Jacob's words?" Jack was exasperated and disappointed with what he was hearing.

Grim-faced, Jack's grandfather looked at him and said,"So? You still think you were right to do so? Well, let me tell you. Only losers would be at the mercy of others, and you are a loser."
