Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 357

'No way! How could Alice become pregnant with my child without me knowing?'

Jacob took a deep breath and tried his best to maintain his composure.

"What are you going to do next?" he asked, his eyes narrowed with inexplicable majesty. Times had indeed changed him. He was just a gentle young man before.

But now, he had become a person with dignity and respectability like an emperor.

Alice was appalled by his coldness. However, she had no choice but to suppress her grievance in her heart. She came back this time to take back what was rightfully hers, even if it meant swallowing her pride and enduring in silence. She should not cry, especially during this time.

"Jacob, I just came back. Why don't you ask me about what had happened when I was abroad? Is it now better to ask about irrelevant things first?"

On Alice's face was a deep frown, but she was good at hiding the anger in her voice.

Frankly, Jacob did not care about that. All he wanted to know was how to make her let go.

As if in a daze, he looked at her with disgust and disdain.

Although they had been together for so many years, he never expected that Alice could be so low. He was at a loss for words. Because of her, Sara no longer wanted to talk to him.

While suppressing the anger in his heart, Jacob thought that it was better for him and Alice to have a serious talk.

Instead of answering, he checked on his watch and walked forward with her suitcase.

"One way or another, we need to talk. We both know that delaying this will not solve the problem. I don't want another trouble to come in the future."

Jacob turned around when he spoke and then glanced at Alice's belly. It was evident that the trouble he had mentioned was currently residing inside her womb.

Alice was stunned. She never expected that Jacob, who had always been kind and gentle to her, would say something so mean and heartless. She suddenly felt a sharp pang in her heart as though it had been slashed by a knife. Even so, she had to keep smiling.

"Do you know what I like about you, Jacob?" Alice abruptly stopped walking and smiled bitterly.

The route to the airport entrance was short. However, it seemed that the route towards Jacob's heart was longer. Even if she had to spend the rest of her life traversing the path towards him, she still would not be able to make it. Why? Because she was not the woman he wanted.

To Jacob's surprise, Alice suddenly put her hand in the air. However, it seemed unnatural and pretentious. Jacob stopped. Honestly, he was getting tired from walking alongside her.

"Are you hungry? How about we have dinner first before we talk?" Jacob asked with a frown. Then, he looked around as if he was inviting her to eat right then and there.

Outside the airport was a street lined with various street foods. Judging from Jacob's character, he would never eat in this kind of place. He had always been a fastidious person and had no plans of changing it.

However, it seemed that he had to make do with it today. Jacob sighed and looked at the sky in the distance. The sun was setting, and the golden sunset glow spread across the place. Sadly, his mood was not as beautiful as the sky.

With Alice's luggage, he continued to walk forward without even looking back at the woman behind him.

Perhaps he was unaware of what had happened to himself. After all, it was difficult for a person to spot his own change. Alice, however, could clearly feel his changes.

The last time she came back, Jacob was waiting for her at the airport and welcomed her with a big hug. She had nothing but his love that time.

But now, she had nothing. Jacob did not love her anymore. She could see it from the way he was treating her. She never anticipated that things would turn out like this.

Alice looked pathetic. Fortunately, she had a perfect excuse to be with him. It was her child. Based on her experience, regardless of how furious Jacob was, he would never ask her to abort the unborn baby.

He had always been a principled man. That was one of the reasons why breaking up was very difficult for them, until now.

Love requires the consent of the two people who are in a relationship. On the other hand, a breakup can happen even if only one turns away. Love is indeed unfair.

As the two of them stood at the gate of the sidewalk snack booth, Alice stared at Jacob in disbelief.

"Are we really going to eat here? Jacob, even if you don't care about me, just think about the baby in my belly. Who knows whether the food here is clean or not? How could you, Jacob? This is also your son!"

Alice began to worry. Then, she glanced at the place with disgust. She looked at the place as if it was not a place for eating but a dumpsite.

Jacob just shrugged in response. Actually, he was not planning to eat with her. He just found this to be the most convenient place for her to eat so they could talk as soon as possible.

But hearing Alice's response, he felt a little hesitant. It seemed that this was indeed not a good place where they could talk. It was not quiet and was a little crowded with people whose sole purpose was to eat.

Jacob figured that Alice's arrival made him distracted, making him unable to think reasonably. With a heavy sigh, he turned to face Alice.

"Fine. Get in the car. I'll take you somewhere nice for dinner."

He spoke rather quickly, and no emotion could be seen on his face. It was not until then that Alice realized that Jacob was angry for what she had said.

Nevertheless, what she said was true. Well, at least, that was what she felt. That was what Alice was thinking. After all, it was very hard for her to change within a short period of time.

Once they reached the car, Jacob opened the door for her but did not say anything. He drove her to the most luxurious shopping area downtown. It was not only a place for shopping, but it was also a high-end gourmet zone.

Everything in this place had excellent quality. With a screech, the car came to a halt outside the food plaza. Jacob got out of the car first and opened the door for Alice.

No matter how uncomfortable he felt, he still had to treat his guest well. Besides, the woman in front of him was no ordinary one. She was pregnant and needed extra care. However, he was doubtful whether the child was his or not. At the thought of this, he felt his head hurt.

Looking around, Alice was astounded that she exclaimed, "Wow! It's been a long time since I last came here! I've almost forgotten the habits of people here and what they like to eat."

Jacob looked at her in surprise. It was not until now that he realized that Alice was, in fact, a hypocrite. She had only been gone for a few months, but now she was talking as if she was a foreigner in her original hometown.

He felt the hair on his back stood on its end, but he did not say anything. He just looked at the street in front of him in a daze.

The street was busy with people and vehicles coming in and out. These words were not enough to describe the prosperity in this place. But when Jacob stood here and looked around, his heart was incomparably empty.

Regardless of how prosperous and beautiful this place was, the woman beside him was not Sara. What was the point of everything then?

Jacob took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. It was not the right time for him to feel sad. The most important thing at the moment was to solve the current problem.

He pondered for a moment and randomly picked a restaurant. He did not even think twice about what kind of restaurant it was. He just strode in. Moreover, he did not bother to ask Alice what she wanted to eat. He did not want to ask either.

Behind him, Alice followed Jacob silently. It seemed that she had already realized her fate. It did not matter if she wronged him in the past. The weight of the things she had done to him was now absolutely clear.
