Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 389 A Knot

The reason why people wanted to leave was that there was something there they had no courage to face. Facing it was too embarrassing, even though they were reluctant to leave. Meanwhile, Jacob knew what was on James' mind. That was the reason why he never tried to change his mind so that he would stay.

"What do you plan on doing in the future?" The confusion in Sara's eyes had become even more apparent. It seemed as though Jacob was being hit from all sides.

"I don't know. Maybe I'll go just somewhere where my feet take me." Jacob was not serious. He only wanted to see how Sara would react.

"What?! What are you saying? Just tell me where you're going, so I could prepare. I haven't had any preparations yet!" Obviously, Sara was anxious about what would happen in the future. "What do you mean you haven't had any preparations yet?" Jacob frowned. It was now his turn to be confused.

With a red face and sparkling eyes, Sara answered, "What else? Of course, I haven't done any preparations to go wandering with you!"

"Ha-ha! Sara, you've changed!" Jacob could not help but smile upon hearing Sara's words.

"What do you mean I've changed?" Sara's face, which had turned red because of Jacob's remark, turned even redder. "Just shut up and eat your noodles."

She was smart and quick-witted. How could she not get what Jacob was talking about?

Jacob did not say anything further. Seeing that Sara was a little embarrassed, he did not want to dwell on the topic anymore.

It seemed that after staying with him for a long time, her EQ had improved significantly.

Unlike before, she did not know how to say sweet words properly. But now, Jacob was satisfied and happy with them. If it were others who said those words, they would mean nothing to him. "Let me ask you again. What are you going to do?" As it turned out, Sara was not yet ready to drop the topic.

Well, how could she be not anxious? What would happen in the future would greatly affect her. Although the two of them had not been married again, she felt that their situation was no different if they were actually remarried. There were times that they would have quarrels and misunderstandings. But as a couple, it felt as if it was a kind of enjoyment for them.

After all, not everyone had the opportunity to have quarrels. Many people could not even replace a person that loved them enough to quarrel with them. The latter was actually sadder.

Sara enjoyed that feeling. They were like old friends who could feel each other's feelings as long as they were together.

As long as they were around each other, they felt comfortable, and all their troubles seemed to go away.

Would she be tired of her friend? No, she would not be. However, Sara knew that her relationship with Jacob was deeper and more special than that of a friend.

It was love. Although it was also a form of friendship, it was beyond it.

As time went by, their relationship gradually became family affection.

Although it was a slow progress, it was constant and steady. Therefore, no matter where Jacob chose to go, Sara would support him all the way without hesitation. She would never hold him back but be by his side instead. "I want to be with you," Jacob said with a doting smile. Truth be told, he had thought about it for a long time, and he had made up his mind already.

Even if he was at work, he still wanted to be with the woman he loved.

"What?!" Sara exclaimed. She was taken aback for a second. Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Did I hear it wrong? My company is small and not as powerful as yours. How could it have caught your eye?" Jacob ignored her retort and just continued eating noodles. "Sara, as long as you're there, I don't care how small it is."

"Shut up." She lowered her head and put down her chopsticks. Then, she picked up the bowl of noodles and drank a mouthful of its soup.

The soup was not too hot that it was scalding, yet not too cold that it was no longer appetizing. As she took a big gulp, she tasted the flavorful soup as it went down her throat. To be honest, it tasted really good. Satisfied with the meal, Sara took her table napkin and wiped her mouth. "Well, you can come. But just so you know, I'm the CEO, and you'll only be my vice president."

Jacob took a glance at her. Of course, he would agree to such a condition without hesitation. It was her company anyway.

But as he saw the confident look on her face, he could not help but tease her.

"Fine by me on one condition. As the vice president, you should let me be the CEO if I outperform you." Jacob also put down his chopsticks. He liked the meal so much that before he knew it, there was no noodle left. He wiped his mouth and looked at Sara, whose lips were curled into a pout. Dissatisfaction was apparent on her face.

"Why? Don't you agree?" Jacob feigned a puzzled look, but the smile on his face was still there.

"Can't you just let me be the CEO?" Sara mumbled unhappily.

"Hmm." Embarrassment was written all over Jacob's face. He had seen a lot of people and dealt with a lot of things, but there was still one thing that he could not do: wipe off Sara's sullen expression. "We should also be reasonable, okay?" Jacob took a sip of soup. It was so delicious that he could not help but take another sip.

"Fine. Let's make a deal. If you perform better than me, I'll make you the CEO of the company. However, your task is to make our company as big as the Shi Group. No, scratch that. Surpass it instead. Is that okay?" It seemed that Sara had given Jacob a mission. If she did not, he would not be under pressure right now.

The truth is, it is better to live a life without pressure. That way, a person lives happily and without worries. But for Sara, a life without pressure would be no different than not living.

"My lady, other men's wives prefer staying at home to assist their husbands and take care of their children. Why do you always arrange so many tasks for me?" Jacob frowned and asked in a hurt voice.

"I'm assisting my husband, am I not?" Sara was clever and could keep up in an argument against him.

"What about our children?" Jacob whined, making him sound even more dissatisfied. Nevertheless, he was happy that Sara had become more proud and confident than she used to be.

"You! We haven't even had a child yet! Besides, I don't want to have a baby with you." With her hands crossed on her chest, Sara stood up and walked to the sofa in the living room. Meanwhile, Jacob cleaned up the table as fast as he could. Then, he threw the used chopsticks and bowls in the sink. Once done, he followed Sara.

"About the baby... We can have one when you're ready." As Jacob spoke, he put his hand on her shoulder.

Sara shrugged off his hand angrily and said, "Easy for you to say! You pushed me when I was pregnant."

Jacob took a deep breath. He could see that she was still angry about it after all this time.

Sara might be furious right now, but she could still speak out her anger. Because of it, Jacob figured that she was not too angry, was she? After a moment, she finally calmed down a little and was no longer in a fit of anger. Mustering all his courage, Jacob felt that it was now the best time to discuss it with her.

"Honey, I was wrong, and I'm deeply sorry. I didn't know that you were pregnant at that time. If I knew, I wouldn't have pushed you. Believe me."

Jacob put his hands on her shoulder and shook them gently.

Even though he had apologized to her many times before, he still felt guilty every time they talked about it. And now, Sara no longer wanted to give birth to his child. He had missed his opportunity to be a father.

"Do you think an apology is enough? In order to punish you, I've decided not to give birth to your children in the future. You can never have a baby with me again." Standing with arms akimbo, Sara looked at him with a sullen yet resolute expression.

In front of her, Jacob was aghast upon hearing her decision. If Sara did not want to bear his child, he would rather not have any children.

Although other women would certainly be willing to make him a father, Jacob would not be. He did not want anyone else to bear his child. That was a knot, not only in Jacob's heart, but also Sara's.
