Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 386

The air felt chilly and warm at the same time. The atmosphere was fresh and it soothed the skin. Sara had just fallen asleep moments ago. But she was already awake again. Stretching her body, she yawned tiredly and checked the time. It was still early. The time was just 10 o'clock in the morning.

Sara found it hard to live a boring life. Assuming she could go to work, then time would pass by quickly. Being busy at the office made it seem like the days were shorter.

Of course, she knew that it all depended on her mood.

If Sara was in a good mood, she would feel that everything was perfect and serene. However, if she was in a bad mood, everything would be very difficult for her no matter where she went. She found it hard to function whenever she was displeased or furious about something.

At that moment, Sara found that it wasn't as difficult as she had expected it would be to accept the news of Jacob's resignation.

With the latest development, many things had to be compared. Now, Sara knew that she had the ability to endure. She was no longer as anxious as before.

Even if such a thing happened, Jacob would be so yielding. He wouldn't even try to put up a resistance.

Sara disliked Alice very much. In fact, she couldn't stand her. She felt that she was the reason for all the commotion lately. Right from the very beginning, Sara's guts told her that it was best to stay away from her.

Although she distanced herself from trouble, it still found a way to reach her. And the reason was because of that troublesome lady called Alice.

Sara sat up and gulped down a glass of water. Then she picked up her phone.

She wanted to call Bess. She hadn't spoken to Bess for quite a long time. Both friends were engrossed with the happenings in their individual lives. On one hand, Bess was busy with her marriage preparations. And on the other, Sara was occupied with a lot of things.

Just when she was about to dial Bess' number, Jacob's call came in.

"Open the door." He said those three words calmly immediately she accepted the call.

Sara couldn't believe her ears. She was surprised by his words. Then she said, "Are you kidding me?"

Just then Jacob rang the doorbell. The sound of the doorbell pierced through the air and put an end to the quietness.

With wide eyes, Sara looked at the living room door. She didn't know how to feel at that moment. In fact, she couldn't think straight. But she still walked to the door and opened it.

Still holding their phones to their ears, they stared at each other for a few seconds without saying a word.

Jacob entered the living room and held her tightly. She wasn't even able to turn off the phone because of his sudden grip.

At that instance, Jacob moved swiftly as he leaned over and kissed her roughly. He had missed her so much. His whole body yearned for hers.

Sara was startled by the kiss. His lips felt warm and absorbing. For a moment, she was lost in the mood of romance. But soon she began to feel humiliated.

"What are you doing?" Sara pushed him with all her strength. Because he had kissed her so passionately, Jacob's lips were slightly apart.

With sad eyes, he looked at her and asked, "You still haven't forgiven me. Okay, what do you want me to do before you forgive me?"

Hearing Jacob's words, she sighed heavily. 'Since when did he become this shameless? Why did he have that pathetic look on his face? Why is he acting so cheeky unlike his usual self?'

Just then Sara's cheeks blushed. But she pretended as if she was displeased with what had just happened. She gave him a serious look as if to say that she wasn't flustered by the kiss.

"Kneel on the washboard and then I'll forgive you." Sara commanded as she rolled her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Of course, she knew how proud Jacob was. So, she had made that command to provoke him a little. In the past, she would have never dared to make such a request no matter what he did. However, things had changed between them. They were no longer two people who were tied together by a marriage contract. Now, they were real lovers.

Hearing her condition, Jacob leaned back in shock. Then he asked with disbelief in his voice, "Are you serious, Sara?"

"If you think I'm serious, then I'm serious," she replied with a mischievous grin.

Jacob looked at Sara affectionately. The smile in his eyes extended to the whole of his face. He was obviously mesmerized by the woman standing in front of him.

"I mean... Is there a washboard at home?" Jacob asked with a hint of doubt in his voice. He had no idea that they had one.

Sara was already lost in his ambiance as she stood there. His whole being was very charming. Then she reasoned, 'Who said that this man was indifferent and stone-hearted?' In her opinion, Jacob was just like a professional comedian. His expression and words made her heart leap for joy. She also felt the urge to burst into laughter. But she refused to let her guard down.

"I don't want to talk to you anymore. You can go and meet your Alice."

Sara turned around as she pretended to be angry. She was playing hard to get.

Jacob walked forward and hugged her from behind.

He already figured how to make Sara forgive him. He planned to pester her until she agreed. He wouldn't get angry no matter what she did. Jacob knew that if he attached to her like glue, she would come around soon. After thinking of this idea, he concluded that he would be able to do it.

Sara looked at Jacob's strong hands around her waist in horror. Although she was playing hard to get, she didn't expect him to do that.

'But I'm still furious with him. Why did he dare to hold me?' she thought to herself.

"Let go of me, Jacob!" Sara screamed. Although she was frowning, he found her outburst to be rather cute.

"If you forgive me, then I will let you go. But if you refuse, then I won't," Jacob said as he hugged her more tightly. His plan was already set in motion. He wasn't going to release her until she forgave him.

He had thought of many ways to apologize. But Jacob also knew that this method was the fastest way to make Sara forgive him. He knew that she wouldn't be able to refuse if he did this.

Although as a CEO, no, as a former CEO, it didn't seem to be a good idea for him to do so. A man of his status shouldn't be employing such a shameless method to cajole his lover into forgiving him. However, Sara might accept his unreasonable request because of his innocent and adorable behavior. Her heart might soften because he was behaving rather cute.

As he drove down here, Jacob racked his brain for the best way to apologize to her. Although he didn't want to do this, it appeared to be the only way to make her forgive him easily. Indeed, he knew Sara's soft spot.

Now, he was pleased that he had chosen this plan. It appeared that it was already working.

Jacob stared at Sara nervously. She had stopped struggling to break free from his hold. Few seconds passed before she finally said, "Release me so I can catch my breath. Do you want to strangle me to death?"

Hearing this, Jacob realized that he had been holding her too tightly. He didn't know this because as he embraced her, his own body felt numb. Their skin was glued together like magnet to metal.

As he smelled the fragrance of Sara's hair, he was aroused. Her hair smelled of fruity shampoo and it sent soothing shivers down his spine. He was in a fantasy world at that moment.

"Hey, are you listening to me?" Sara tried to release Jacob's grip from her waist. Finally, his grip loosened a little.

"Where is my father-in-law?" Jacob asked after releasing her waist a little. But he didn't let her go completely. He still held her close to his body as he continued to inhale the fragrance of her hair.

"At home," Sara replied casually. She didn't bother to ask why he was asking of her dad all of a sudden.

"What!" Jacob said in an alarmed tone. He immediately let go of Sara. Then he looked around the whole living room. He was shocked because she said her dad was home.

Actually, Jacob didn't want Sara's father to have a bad impression of him. His relationship with her was at a critical moment. This was as a result of all the drama that had been springing up because of Alice and his resignation from the company.

If Sara's father had a bad impression of him, then everything would be in jeopardy. Jacob really wanted to be on good terms with him.

"Will my dad eat you up? Why are you so scared?" Sara gave him a questioning look. Her expression showed that she was quite disappointed with his reaction.

"That's not the case. I am not scared of him. I just think... I don't want to leave a bad impression on my father-in-law." As Jacob said those words, he lovingly placed his hands on Sara's shoulder and pushed her forward. He made her sit on the sofa before sitting beside her.

"You don't need to bother yourself. You have already left a bad impression. Humph!" Sara snorted. Then she picked up a throw pillow and cuddled it like a child.

Seeing this, Jacob held his head in embarrassment. Sara looked just like an 18-year-old girl. She was so cute!

Not only did she look younger, her character was also like that of an innocent girl. This made Jacob fall in love with her more. As she sat there, Sara pouted her mouth like she always did whenever she was angry. It seemed that... Damn! She was just so adorable. Her looks were driving Jacob crazy. He just wanted to kiss her rosy and plump lips again.

Jacob also felt like laughing. The sight of her was making his heart leap for joy. But on a second thought, people should live younger and younger. A person should be able to enjoy a happy life despite all the hardships life throws.

"Sara, I haven't resolved the issue yet. Until now, I still can't remember what happened that day. My brain has no record whatsoever. But I think that since I can't remember anything, maybe nothing happened in the first place,"

Jacob said in a serious tone all of a sudden. He held Sara's hands and stared at them with affection in his eyes. For days now, he had been racking his brain but he just couldn't remember anything.

"Okay," Sara simply replied. Although she didn't know what to say, she was moved by Jacob's words. A part of her told her that he was caring about her feelings.

"Although this might seem like I'm shifting the blame, it is undeniable that Alice isn't as good as I thought. I never imagined that she was this kind of person."

Jacob didn't want to bore Sara with the tales of his ex-girlfriend's bad behavior. He respected her so much to do that.

Because of the respect he had for Sara, he decided not to tell her about Alice's devilish attitude. He wanted to be the only one to deal with all that headache.

"Sara, after all my experience, you are the only woman I desire. I just want you by my side. I don't care about other women. It doesn't matter how beautiful or successful they are. I want only you in my life."

Jacob looked at Sara with sincerity in his eyes. At the same time, he squeezed her hands affectionately. He was really pouring out his heart to her.

Oftentimes, people could tell that an individual is their lifetime partner. This is called love at first sight. Just by a single glance, they would know that they wanted to grow old with that person. A few seconds could determine the lifetime of two people.

Perhaps when they first met at the airport, Jacob thought it was just a mere coincidence. And they were going to remain strangers. However, their fates were already intertwined with each other. They were destined to be together.

At that time, when he had set his eyes on Sara, he felt butterflies in his stomach. He had developed a crush on her instantly.

This was probably the reason why Jacob decided to love Sara for so long. Even after they divorced, his heart was still with her.

Indeed, people found it easier to see through others than to see through themselves.
