A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1411 Go Back Home To See The Kids

"Do you like it?" Jacob asked. He turned to look at Emily. Emily opened her mouth to say something, but felt as though she had a fish bone stuck in her throat.

She remembered how one night, she and Jacob had watched a TV show together with a scene where the hero and the heroine watched the sunset together. At that time, she had told Jacob that he should take her to watch the sunset again.

She had not expected it to happen today. Emily felt her eyes start to burn. She forced her tears back.

The sun was almost all the way down now, leaving only a partially red sky and scattered clouds. The sea breeze continued blowing, setting the crimson ocean waves in a glittering, calm dance.

After a while, Emily finally spoke in a hoarse voice. "It is so beautiful, Jacob. I like it very much. Thank you."

Jacob looked at her with tender eyes and said, "You know I'll do anything to make you happy. I promise to fulfill your wishes one by one. And when you get better, we'll go see the kids together."

Emily bit her lip, willing her tears to stay where they were. She looked at the sky once again and felt the sadness in her heart slowly dissipating. She grinned at Jacob brightly, her face full of hope. "I can't wait."

Jacob grinned at Emily as well and said, "In the meantime, focus on getting better, okay?" Before Emily could answer, Jacob started messing up her hair. They started laughing as if they had no care in the world.

Emily playfully pushed Jacob away, and Jacob chuckled. Jacob murmured, "When you're all better, we'll bring the kids here and watch the sunset together." Emily simply smiled and wrapped her arms around Jacob's neck. . . . . . .

The next day was a busy day for Louis.

"Mr. Ke, I'm done with today's documents. The clock just struck noon." His assistant's voice rang through Louis's earpiece. Louis was napping on his office desk when the call came in.

He slowly opened his tired eyes and stretched his arms over his head.

"It's noon already? That was fast." Louis glanced at his watch to confirm the time. His nap had taken a while.

"I must say, Mr. Ke, I admire your commitment to the company. You came early today to deal with the old documents as well as the new ones yourself. You're such a great example to all your employees. No wonder our company has gained a firm foothold in the domestic market over a short period of time." His assistant's voice was full of undisguised admiration.

Louis thanked his assistant under his breath and hung up, careful not to show too much emotion at the praise. After work, he took the elevator alone to the parking lot. He found his driver waiting for him in his car.

Louis got into the car and ordered his driver to drive downtown.

It was high noon. The sun shone brightly, and cotton-like clouds floated in the clear, blue sky. Louis rolled his window down and felt the afternoon breeze kiss his face. He was now slowly getting energetic.

"Turn left. I want to buy something from the cake shop," Louis ordered.

The driver nodded and pulled over at the cake shop Louis pointed at.

Louis was not a dessert person as he did not like sugary foods, but as the uncle of the three kids now running around his house, he felt obliged to satisfy their craving for sweets.

Thinking about those kids asking him for food all the time, Louis could not help shaking his head and smiling to himself. They might be a little rowdy sometimes, but he loved them.

After getting a healthy and delicious fruit cake, Louis went back to his car and instructed his driver to drive home. . . . . . . . Louis's phone beeped.

His first thought was that there was an emergency that he had to go back for. But when he checked his phone screen, all he found was a few promotional messages.

He did not bother reading them and just pressed the delete button. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The scenery outside slowly changed from a gray, bustling city to green, tranquil suburbs. Louis surfed the internet on his phone.

"Depression," "hospital," "treatment time," and other similar words appeared in the ads.

All these had something to do with his sister Emily.

He smiled bitterly. He knew about her condition and the reason why she had left her three children with him.

It made him feel helpless, trying to juggle the company and the children. It was really difficult for him to take care of the three kids by himself.

He had no experience in this respect.

'I'm their uncle, ' Louis told himself. He smiled at the thought of that. Although the three kids could be a little naughty sometimes, it did not affect his liking for them.

Just thinking about them running toward him when he got home made him feel warm and happy.

"We're here, Mr. Ke," the driver called out. The driver stepped out of the car to open Louis's door and handed him the fruit cake.

Louis nodded slightly, took the cake, and walked toward the garden behind the manor.

Then, the driver went to park the car in the garage.

"Come and catch me," a small voice chirped through the garden. Louis smiled.

Judging by the voice, he knew that it was Beryl.

The image of Beryl's lovely face and little ponytail came to his mind. Holding the cake steady, Louis quickened his pace.

Bypassing a few blooming flowers, he saw a warm and happy scene.

Beryl was running around the garden with a kite, and the maids were chasing after her. They were worried that she would fall and hurt herself.

Meanwhile, Bowen was sitting quietly near the flowering shrubs, making something with the stems and petals. His hands beat up and down, and his face was a little red. He appeared to be concentrating very hard.

At the center of the garden, Hunk was lying leisurely on a wooden rocking chair with a big umbrella protecting him from the sun and a fan in his hand.

At Hunk's feet sat Baron, the youngest child of Jacob and Emily.
