Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 381 I Resigned

For many people, a child was a blessing, and motherhood was a very sacred thing. However, if people found out how she got pregnant, she would probably be the talk of the town. It just proved that nothing was perfect in this world. When Alice raised her head, she was dazzled by the blazing sun. It was a beautiful sunny day, but she was not in a good mood. In fact, she thought that she was happier with the haze weather before.

People really had different preferences, and they didn't get them all the time. From where Alice was standing, she could see cars passing by.

If she had the guts to, she only had to rush towards the cars to end her life. In that way, she wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. But for Alice, it was unnecessary.

Death was easy, while living was the hardest thing to do. Since she was not afraid of death, she could bear to continue her life in this world.

Even when Jacob said he didn't love her anymore, death never crossed her mind. Besides, wouldn't it only give Sara the satisfaction if Alice died?

This made her think she was smart. No matter how difficult her life was, she wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction to see her dead. One way or another, Sara would hear the news about the photos.

Moreover, Alice had already sent them to her, hadn't she? If Sara was still staying with Jacob even after seeing those photos, Alice's impression of her might change. Maybe Sara was good scheming that people couldn't easily see through her. There were still so many thoughts running on her head when she hailed a taxi nearby.

Her life had become miserable ever since she left Jacob. The life she had now was completely different from what she had imagined. It was full of shame instead of happiness.

Even taking a taxi reminded her that she had already lost Jacob. Until now, he still hadn't contact her.

Maybe Jacob was busy with his resignation. Did he voluntarily resign or was he forced to do so? Suddenly, Alice's head began to ache.

If Jacob resigned voluntarily, he might hate her less. But if he was forced to do so, Jacob's hatred towards her would probably become immeasurable.

The taxi driver kept talking, but Alice remained expressionless, and silent.

The driver felt embarrassed, so he didn't say anything anymore. Silence filled the car throughout the ride. The driver looked back at Alice from time to time, without saying a word. Soon the car stopped in front of an apartment, and the car drove off as soon as he took the fare. The apartment in front of Alice was bought by Jacob. Now it was the only thing she had that belonged to him aside from the memories left in it.

Memories of the best times she had with him. Those were the sweetest memories she had, but she knew it would never happen again. In every corner of this house, Alice could picture her past.

When Jacob bought this house, Alice was not happy. Indeed, the neighborhood where he bought her a house was not that bad. But she couldn't help but get disappointed knowing that the man who could afford to buy the most luxurious house, didn't buy the best for her. Alice admitted that she was greedy. Therefore, she was upset. During those days when Jacob still claimed that he loved her, he had already let Sara live in a high-end villa.

Maybe deep down inside her, Alice had been keeping the jealousy she felt towards Sara since then. Moreover, she felt betrayed. It was painful, even though she was the one who left Jacob first.

The past could no longer be changed. So, there was no point for her to look back at the path she had taken.

It was not even worth mentioning at all. Alice instantly collapsed on the huge bed as soon as she entered her room. Then she looked at her baby bump, which was still barely noticeable.

Ironically, her pregnancy symbolized her shame. It was also proof that she and Jacob could never get back together again.

Maybe it was because she was driven by her anger towards Jacob that she said that she couldn't wait to give birth to the baby even though she didn't really mean it.

How could giving birth excite her when she knew that it was a painful thing? Why would she let herself suffer from so much pain? Moreover, if Jacob decided to take the child for a DNA test, everything would be over for her.

The more Alice thought about it, the sadder she became. It was already night, and the moon was hiding behind the clouds. A little while later, the world was gradually shrouded by darkness.

There were so many things that had been running on her mind that she didn't notice how long she had been lying on the bed. Her phone in her bag was turned up so she could hear it when someone called, but it never rang.

It seemed like no one cared about her disappearance, no matter what she did to get people's attention. Wasn't it pathetic?

The corners of Alice's mouth curled up into a bitter smile. Maybe even if the years passed, she would still look back to this day with a bitter smile on her face.

A part of her couldn't accept it.

Some people needed others' attention when they were sad, otherwise, they would feel even worse. Hence, Alice took out her phone and called Jacob.

As the phone rang, she tried her best to calm herself down.

"Jacob, where are you?" When Jacob answered the call, she immediately sat up, trembling. The room was dark, and the only light she had was the faint green light coming from around her ears. It was terrifying.

Even so, Alice didn't feel terrified at all. The moment he picked up the phone, her heart sank.

Not knowing what to say, Jacob remained silent on the other end of the line. Noticing this, Alice took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you say anything? Jacob, do you hate me?" At this point, Alice no longer needed to act. She was so sad that she felt as though her heart was being squeezed.

"Alice, are you satisfied now?" Jacob asked directly, unconsciously gripped the phone in his hand.

"You... Why would you..." Tears streamed down Alice's face, making her choke with sobs. Didn't it seem like she dug her own grave and almost buried herself?

Now that Jacob was asking if she was satisfied, she didn't know how to react.

"You must know that I resigned. If you still want to give birth to the baby, then fine. I can raise it, but that's just it." It could be told from the tone of his voice that he was exhausted. Did the child have to bear the same fate as him?

Fate seemed to be a cycle. Although many people didn't believe in fate, it pulled them forward unconsciously.

It was easier to think that something didn't exist, than to believe even though they couldn't see or touch it. Jacob was well aware of this.

"Jacob, is that it? I won't make this too easy for you. I don't care if you quit or not. This matter is not over yet. Let me just remind you that you can't decide about everything on your own all the time."

Alice's eyes became vicious and her voice became sharp.00000
