Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 214

But if Omnipotent wanted to hurt him, it would be a piece of cake anyway. The case of Thompson was an example.

The world was always dangerous. It's not as peaceful as we thought. The two people who were smiling at each other had to restrain their dissatisfaction with each other because of interests, so they looked harmonious on the surface.

Jacob had seen too many of people over the years, no matter they were harmonious or planning plots in secret. There were so many things that he didn't want to mention at all. Therefore, he would always keep a backup plan for himself.

That was human nature. No one would open their heart to another. Even between lovers, they would always hide their bad side, so as not to let each other discover it all.

So it was understandable for Jacob to be like this. But during the conversation with Omnipotent, he thought that Omnipotent was a good person, who knew the human nature well but didn't act in that way. He was a man of true character.

"Hello, another two pounds of beef please. By the way, please add some peanuts." Jacob laughed happily. It had been a long time since he had dinner so happily, as if all his troubles had been swept away.

"I didn't expect you to eat so much? I thought you were used to the delicacies and didn't eat much of these ordinary food." Omnipotent made fun of Jacob, but with a smile of appreciation.

"I'm sorry, but I have a good appetite today. Have you known Uncle James for a long time?" Jacob was confused. He knew that he could ask Omnipotent for help because of James.

"It seems so. We have known each other for many years. I can't remember it clearly. It's a long time ago." Omnipotent squinted slightly as if he was thinking, but in fact, he was waiting for the peanuts.

"Ha-ha, then what did Uncle James look like before?" Jacob wanted to hear more about Uncle James from others. For him, James's life was like a mystery.

Everyone avoided talking about him, but everyone was in awe of him. Everyone could keep it a secret, but everyone knew it. Everyone seemed to keep the secret of James at the same time, and that secret seemed to only belong to that generation.

The more Jacob thought about it, the more he wanted to know. Just like digging a treasure, he wanted to know some legends about Uncle James.

"Didn't he tell you?" Omnipotent squinted slightly. 'He didn't tell you that I used to work for him, as his brother and his friend?'

"A little, but he doesn't want to talk about anything else. I know what happened to his lover." Jacob was a little embarrassed. At this time, the beef was served, blocking his embarrassment.

He didn't want Omnipotent to think that he knew nothing about Uncle James, but it didn't make any difference if he knew little.

"He will tell you later. I can't tell you now." Omnipotent pretended to be mysterious. Since James didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say either.

"Okay. He said he would tell me when it's over." Jacob sighed. He was too anxious.

"Then why did you become Omnipotent?" Jacob changed the subject and threw the question to Omnipotent. He was more and more interested in the life of Omnipotent. A person who had a relationship with James wouldn't be an ordinary one.

"Me? When I started my career in my teens, I met a lot of people and many things, but I forgot them all. Because there were only two words about those things: human nature. Human nature was the foundation, and then a series of problems were originated from it. These problems then had something to do with other things. They went on and on, forming this society."

After saying that, Omnipotent raised his head and took a sip of wine. He toasted to the past without looking back no matter how bitter it was.

"That makes sense. I didn't expect you to be so open-minded." Jacob cheered up. Chatting with experienced people was like reading a good book, and in the end, he would always benefit from being obedient.

"Open-minded? I'm not open-minded. If I'm really open-minded, I won't be Omnipotent. There are too many people that I can't let go of, so I am not open-minded at all." Omnipotent seemed to be modest, or self-reproach.

"Ha-ha. A freak." Jacob gave him a thumbs up. Many people had forgotten their own position after becoming famous.

"I'm flattered. James is really open-minded. But no one knows how sad he is, and he won't let others know." Omnipotent seemed to sigh with a gentle expression, as if he was recalling something.

"Anyway. I always think Uncle James is a legend." Jacob interrupted Omnipotent's fantasy and pulled him back to reality. People in that era all felt like legends. James was even more legendary.

Omnipotent nodded with a smile. If it weren't for James's fear to tell Jacob what had happened to him, he could have told his nephew about it in detail. But now, he couldn't.

"Do you know what is the most important thing in life?" Jacob raised his head. He didn't know why he wanted to ask this question all of a sudden.

"Many people think family, wealth, health and security are the most important things in their lives. I don't think much about it. Maybe I'm one of them, or maybe I'm not."

Omnipotent squinted slightly. Perhaps it was because he had drunk, his face was a little red. He didn't have any comments on this question.

"I didn't expect you to make fun of me. Forget it. Everyone has a different thought. I used to think that the most important thing in life is those things, but now I have a little other comprehension."

Jacob squinted his eyes. He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit his true feelings.

They were like strange creatures that were eager to live. They were eager to be recognized by the outside world. Jacob didn't know it before, but now he understood.

"What comprehension? I'd like to hear it in detail." Omnipotent seemed to be open to this. Anyway, many things in life were like this.

"The most important thing in life is not wealth, health or family, but attitude. Someone said that attitude decided everything. In the past, I always thought it was a piece of cake. Don't all the adults know?"

Jacob had a smile on his face. He really didn't expect something to happen. Otherwise, how could the bitterness at the corners of his mouth come from?

"You finally understand that there are some things in life that have no answers?" Omnipotent touched the glass. The warmth of the wine transmitted to the glass, making people reluctant to leave the warmth.

"Yes. The most important thing in life is to cherish." Jacob raised his head and drank the strong wine. The pungent smell of the wine was more and more unforgettable.

"Ha-ha. I'm so happy today. I finally hear something I want to hear." Omnipotent's eyes seemed to be shining. He was so clear that he had been tired of hearing those answers.

There were always people who kept asking about the meaning of life. Once they encountered painful things, many people would be crushed by the reality. After being destroyed, it was almost impossible for them to heal.

Some wounds, once festered, would never heal. That was why some people looked so strong, but in fact, they were vulnerable.

Was it a good thing or a bad thing? No one was sure. But at least it was not a good start for an individual. Fortunately, Jacob was not the kind of person who was vulnerable.

"You are much better than I expected." Omnipotent changed his smile into a serious expression. In fact, Omnipotent rarely smiled. Today was an exception.

Smile was actually a luxury for adults, especially a smile from the bottom of their hearts.
