Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 149 So Abrupt

Alice asked, "You mean the tycoon in the jewelry circle? The man who fell in love with Sara?"

Jacob frowned. He didn't expect that Alice would mention Thompson like this. "Yes, it's him. Do you know him?"

Alice nodded, "I've told you just now. Of course I know him. What happened?"

Alice said indifferently. There was no anger in Jacob's tone, and James didn't even raise his head.

Jacob's heart sank, as if he didn't want to talk about it anymore. "Forget it. Nothing serious. It's getting late. Let me drive you home."

Jacob asked her to leave. Caught off guard, Alice didn't expect to be sent home so suddenly.

James looked up and said, "Come and play next time."

"Okay, Uncle James. Bye." Alice was depressed. She didn't say anything more and didn't stay any longer. She just followed Jacob out of the villa.

James breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the night outside the French window. It was indeed a quiet night, which was more desolate. James narrowed his eyes and watched Jacob's car driving away.

Life was terrible to meet a bad guy. Perhaps that would change a person's fate, and of course bring misfortune. But there are still countless enemies who hide in the dark stopping us from moving forward. Jacob curled his lips. Thousands of times had happened when they were alone. But now, he was not touched at all. "Get in the car. It's cold." He said casually.

Alice opened the door and sat on the passenger seat.

There was an indescribable silence in the car. Jacob didn't say anything. His face was solemn. This made Alice nervous. She turned her head and looked at him from time to time. Finally, the two of them got along alone.

"Jacob, long time no see. Are you okay?" Alice asked the man in front of her seriously and affectionately. Her expectation and hope were rekindled in her heart.

"I'm fine. How about you?" They greeted each other as if they were friends. Jacob still looked serious and didn't know how to face Alice.

The woman who loved him now became the woman he had loved. Jacob was a little upset. If it weren't for Sara, the woman in front of him might have been his wife. But how could the person who had appeared in life disappear. Jacob was stunned. He didn't want to make do with it.

Alice looked up, with her heart pounding. Looking at Jacob in front of her, she felt that he was everything in her dream.

Alice looked melancholy, but still looked at Jacob with soft eyes. She just stared at Jacob in this way. It seemed that Jacob also noticed her gaze. He just looked back and then looked at the windshield unnaturally.

"Jacob, do you know how much I miss you?" Alice didn't want to contain herself. She was afraid that if she left today, they would have less chance to meet in the future.

"Alice, last time I..." Jacob's voice was cold, as if it was several degrees colder than the air outside.

Alice interrupted Jacob with a trembling voice, grasping the hem of her dress with all her strength. "I don't believe it, Jacob. We have been together for so many years. Why did this happen?"

Jacob only felt that his mind was buzzing, and the voice of Alice beside his ear became noisy. "Alice. Calm down. We can still be friends."

The sadness on Alice's face was deeper, but there was not only sadness in her eyes. If they were separated carefully, it could be seen that she was angry. "How can I calm down? Your words and your eyes are like knives. I can't calm down. I don't want to be friends with you. I don't lack friends. Don't you think these words are ridiculous?"

Jacob was stunned. He parked the car on the side of the road.

Tears welled up in Alice's eyes. She felt wronged and angry, but she had no choice. It was useless to put on such an act to cry, to quarrel or to threat. They were all tricks of deceiving themselves, but unfortunately, she could not deceive herself or others.

Love was like a balloon. It was impossible to restore a balloon that had been punctured by a needle. What's more, she didn't even know where the hole was, let alone repair it.

Jacob turned his head to look at the pitiful woman beside him and asked himself if he was too cruel. But if he was softhearted, he would definitely get involved in the relationship of the three people. He had never thought that there would be a love triangle. At every moment, there was only one person in his heart. But now, he only cared about Sara.

"Alice, I have something to tell you. A person's cells were changed every 7 years, which meant that he was different from before every 7 years. Of course, it's just physical change."

Jacob reached out his hand and wiped the tears from the corner of Alice's eyes. Then, Alice pressed Jacob's hand on her face. Jacob didn't know whether to withdraw his hand or not. It was indeed a shortage to be softhearted.

"Jacob, I don't care. Let's go back to the past, okay? At that time, we were carefree... We were happy and content, without that much trouble. Let's go back to the past, just like when we were in College... Wher there is no trouble at all, okay? I... Please." Alice choked with sobs and stammered.

Jacob frowned. He had imagined such a scene as well. He was not softhearted as he thought. He only had the determination to cut the Gordian knot and the courage to cut off all means of retreat. It was time for him to stride forward and not look back.

Jacob knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so abrupt and his heart would be so firm.

"Alice, I said we couldn't go back. Did you really turn a blind eye to the four years between us? Four years after I got married, it has changed too much. It's too late. You should calm down." Jacob pulled out his hand. It was not because he was cruel, but because he had only one heart and could only hold one person in it.

"No, Jacob. I don't want to go back. I just hope that we can start over. I don't expect anything. I just hope that you can come back to me, okay?" Alice bent her body and trembled with tears.

Jacob turned to look at the front windshield. There was no one on the road ahead, and the surroundings were silent. Only the street lights were always bright.

"If we start over, what about Sara?" Jacob's voice was somewhat ethereal, and his elf like voice was scattered in this space. It turned out that everything would go back to the starting point. It turned out that all the knots were only traced to one person.

Alice stopped crying and felt sad. It was as if she had never know the man in front of her in so many years. Alice trembled and asked, "Then what about me?"

Squinting his eyes, Jacob leaned against the car and said, "Alice, you're a smart woman."

Alice was shocked. Jacob had already mixed her with other people. In Jacob's eyes, she was no longer unique. "Jacob, I don't understand... And I don't want to understand it either. I don't believe it." Jacob's long and narrow eyes were unable to reflect his expression in the dark night, and the muscles on his face were not twitching as he had imagined. It was natural and exposed to the air without any resistance.

"I'm going to remarry her." Jacob said abruptly.

With her eyes wide open, Alice exerted more strength to her hands on the hemline of her dress. She tried to regain her usual calmness, but it was still in vain. She repeated as if she was muttering, "It's impossible... It's impossible..."

Jacob didn't want to argue anymore. Such a conversation made him feel very tired, as if a prisoner was interrogated.

"Alice, you will meet a better man than me in the future. I promise." Jacob said slowly. He finally stopped worrying and hesitating. It was good for everyone to put it bluntly.
