A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1428

"Tyrone Mansion is a bit closer to the company, so staying there will be more convenient for me and Emily. And since her condition has stabilized, we should let the children spend more time with her. It'll be helpful for them to strengthen their relationship," Jacob explained.

Hunk frowned when he heard this. He then looked at Emily and asked, "Do you want to move back as well?"

Emily bit her lower lip and looked at Hunk with a sheepish expression on her face. "Dad..."

When she and Jacob had discussed moving back, she had anticipated that Hunk would be against the decision of her leaving the MK Manor. But since she was a married woman, it seemed inappropriate for her to spend so much time at her father's house.

Moreover, it still wasn't easy for her to accept the fact that Hunk was her biological father. Even though she knew that he loved her, it still felt uncomfortable to get along with him because of his sudden appearance out of nowhere.

No one uttered a word for quite some time after Emily spoke. The lively atmosphere in the living room was gone in an instant.

"Forget it, do as you please," Hunk suddenly said. Then, he let out a sigh, waved his hand dismissively, and went upstairs. His thin figure made him look pitiful.

"Dad..." Emily uttered once again. Her heart felt heavy when she saw how Hunk looked so she immediately followed him upstairs.

"Dad, are you upset with me?" Emily asked while she followed Hunk into the study. Then, she closed the door behind her.

Hunk raised his head and gave a brief reply. "No."

"Please, I know you're mad at me. I can see it in your eyes," Emily responded and sighed heavily. She then tried to comfort Hunk. "Dad, Tyrone Mansion and MK Manor are in the same city. I can come back and see you whenever you want. We don't need to be together in the same house all the time."

When she noticed that Hunk still had a blank expression on his face, Emily tried to be playful with him. "Your daughter is already married. How can I stay at my parents' house all day long? People who don't know the truth might think that Jacob has already left me!"

With a grumpy look on his face, Hunk jokingly responded, "Who would dare to abandon my wonderful daughter?"

His words brought a smile to Emily's face. Then she replied, "Or do you want Jacob to move here and live with us forever?"

Hunk was stunned and amused at the same time. He sighed and said, "You funny little girl!" His face, which had been so tensed, softened a little. He then said, "I'm not angry. It's just... We lost you when you were so little. Your mother and I looked for you for so many years. And by the time I finally found you, you were already a grown-up. I just wanted to experience being a father to you. I haven't been able to do that all these years."

The expression on Emily's face darkened. She then complained, "Am I not your little girl anymore just because I'm an adult now?"

Hunk suddenly felt anxious and exclaimed, "That's impossible! You will always be my dear daughter no matter how old you are!"

Emily bashfully smiled and said, "There you go! Just as you said, I will always be your dear daughter! And similarly, you will always be my dear father. Even if we aren't in the same house, you're still my beloved dad!"

Only then did Hunk understand what Emily truly meant. He laughed and said, "You sly girl!"

After a while of laughing together, Hunk let out a deep sigh and said, "I'm sorry about what happened." He held Emily's hand with his trembling fingers and added, "Emily, when we lost you before... do you blame me for that?"

"I will never blame you for that, Dad." Emily held on to Hunk's hand a little tighter and repeated it word by word. "Dad, I'll never blame you for what happened back then."

"Thank you, my dear daughter!" Hunk turned into a teary-eyed mess. He then exclaimed, "Don't forget to visit me after you move out!"

"Even if a time comes when you don't want me here anymore, I'll still come and visit," Emily replied and chuckled right after.

Hunk finally smiled from ear to ear. "Well, you should go now to see the children. It's getting late and it's bedtime already!"

"All right! Good night, Dad,"

Emily replied and turned around to leave. Hunk softly smiled as he watched her walk out of the study. After a few moments, he reached for the photo frame on the nearby table.

In the picture were a man and a woman who were embracing each other. Hunk was staring longingly at the woman's beautiful face with mixed emotions in his eyes.

After some time, he whispered to himself, "After so many years, we've finally found our daughter. You can finally rest in peace now."

Emily closed the door and stood there for a while. Jacob walked up to her and nervously asked, "How did it go?"
