Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 387

At that very moment, the woman, whom Jacob loved dearly, was sitting right in front of him. Sara winked her beautiful eyes and asked playfully, "Are you done?"

Jacob smiled awkwardly and answered, "Yes, I am."

"It's my turn then," Sara said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked with furrowed brows. He was clearly confused by her words.

"I lied. My father isn't home." Sara knew him well that she flinched as soon as she finished speaking.

She was right for doing so. Jacob pretended to be angry at her and was about to reached out his arm to tickle her. "How could you lie to me?"

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Sara by the waist, to which she dodged by rolling on the sofa. However, Jacob, being nimble and all, succeeded in catching her. She could not help but burst out laughing as he tickled her at the sides.

The pair played and teased each other like children until Sara begged for mercy. "Stop! Ha-ha! I'm sorry!"

Jacob stopped immediately after that. He then gazed at Sara, whose hair was messy and ruffled. Her candid beauty made him think that she looked more beautiful than ever.

He was so fascinated by her. Before he knew it, he was already on top of her while staring into her eyes.

He was so close to her that Sara could feel his breath on her cheeks, making her face blush in anticipation.

Even though they had been married for years, she still blushed every time he was near.

It is said that people who easily blush are timid. However, Sara believed otherwise. It did not make sense to her. Why was she even blushing?

But she could not care less. Jacob knew her very well anyway.

For Sara, it was better to hear a sincere apology once than hear an insincere one a hundred times.

That was the reason why she was so shaken when Jacob apologized to her. Of course, she did not forgive him right away. She was a prideful and dignified woman, was she not?

Deep inside, she saw herself as a princess who deserved to be spoiled with love. Nobody was allowed to hurt her, scold her, or yell at her, even if it was Jacob.

"Sara, I came here because I was hungry." Jacob looked at her, his grievances apparent in his eyes. Just as he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled, confirming his words.

Sara looked at him in surprise. Hearing his stomach's growl, she could not help but burst into laughter again.

"Are you stupid? Can't you just eat outside?" She laughed so hard that her tummy hurt, making her clutch her belly. For a moment, she forgot about her life's mishaps and troubles.

Whenever she was with Jacob, she felt comfortable and at ease. She forgot everything that had happened, even if it was Jacob who brought those troubles to her.

"I can have dinner anywhere, but I can't eat without you,"

Jacob said seriously while staring into her eyes.

Sara's hand stopped midair upon hearing his words. It turned out that he had gotten better in saying his feelings for her.

Although Jacob was now good at saying sweet words, showing and expressing his genuine feelings was not something he could practice.

All of a sudden, Sara fell silent and became serious. With her legs crossed on the sofa, she looked at him and asked solemnly, "What are you going to do, Jacob?"

With a heavy sigh, Jacob ruffled his hair and confessed to her everything that had happened these past few days. Sara listened intently. Although she knew that it was only right for him to send Alice to the hospital, she felt uncomfortable.

Nevertheless, she agreed with what he had done.

People are naturally empathetic beings. Although Alice had wronged Sara, the latter still felt sorry.

"Did you really make it clear to her?" Sara rested her head on her hand, making her look as if she was in deep thought.

Jacob gazed at her and reached out his hand to smoothen her hair. "Sara, do you know what I was most worried about since the matter happened?" he asked with a smile.

Sara just stared at him curiously with eyes wide open. Then, she shook her head in response. She wanted to hear the answer from Jacob himself.

"Well, what I was most afraid of was losing you. I've realized that I have to be extra careful and should consider the consequences before I make a move. I've changed, Sara. I don't want to lose you again."

Jacob narrowed his slanted eyes, making him look genuine and serious.

His amber eyes looked as beautiful and clear as jade. At a glance, Sara could tell from his starry eyes that he was deeply in love with her.

She leaned back on the sofa in relief. What Jacob had said was true, and it was undeniable that he meant it.

Besides, she knew that there was no need for him to lie. It was a serious matter, and Jacob was not stupid to joke about that. That was the reason why when he filed for divorce, Sara agreed without hesitation.

"Since Alice lost her baby, what do you think she'll do? My hunch tells me that everything's not yet over and that there's still a long way to go before this ends for good." The bright lights reflected in Sara's eyes which gleamed beautifully. Those reflections were in harmony with Jacob's, and they were fascinating.

Jacob put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it reassuringly. "Don't worry, Sara. I'll take care of it. As long as I'm with you, these things are nothing."

Sara wanted to chuckle, but she suppressed the urge to do so. Instead, she tapped Jacob's hand and then put her shoes on.

"You're going out?" Jacob asked with a frown. Honestly, he frowned more often than he smiled, making it seem as if that was his signature expression.

"No." Sara cast a glance at Jacob and shrugged her shoulders. "You said you're hungry, right? I'll cook for you."

Jacob's heart was overjoyed, but he tried his best to remain calm. "It's too troublesome. How about just make me a bowl of noodles?"

At first, Sara was surprised at his request but was delighted afterwards.

She was obviously taken aback that Jacob only wanted to have noodles. As a CEO of a renowned company, he had tried all kinds of delicacies, making it hard to believe that all he wanted at that moment was a bowl of noodles.

On second thought, Jacob no longer regarded himself as a CEO. He finally got rid of the shackles of being a CEO. Was it not worth celebrating?

Meanwhile, Sara's lips curled into a smile. She looked at him and said excitedly, "On it! I'll do it for you right away. Wait for me, okay? It won't take long."

As she went to the kitchen, Jacob stood up from his seat and followed her. It seemed that he did not want to leave her alone.

Of course, Sara noticed his action. She was stunned for a second but got ahold of herself almost immediately. As she turned around, she did not expect him to be right behind her, so she almost knocked into him.

"What... what are you doing?" Sara asked suspiciously. Then, she leaned over and looked around him, wondering what he was up to.

"Let me help you," Jacob said with a straight face.

Sara almost laughed when she heard him. However, after staring at him for a few seconds, she figured out that he was not joking, and she eventually gave in.

She realized that he was actually a considerate man. She did not know it before until now.

Not long after, Sara realized that she had rejoiced too early. Well, when Jacob went to the kitchen, he looked around as though he had never been to a kitchen before. Not only that, but he had so many questions wherever he went. He even asked about mundane things that even most households had.

Sara felt that it was not her husband whom she took to the kitchen but a child. Who would have thought that Jacob knew nothing about cooking?
