Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 39

Jacob looked embarrassed. This was not the Sara he knew.

"Sara." It had been a long time since Jacob called her Sara.

Sara's heart was throbbing. The dangerous man was so terrible that she could be moved by his one word.

Raising her head, Sara had a charming face. She was expecting what Jacob would say next.

"As long as you behave well and don't cause me any trouble, I will give you a large sum of compensation after our divorce is announced." Jacob looked gentle, but his words were chilling.

Compensation! It turned out that no matter what, their relation was a deal. There was no need to pretend.

"Okay, I understand." The stubborn look on Sara's face made people feel neither humble nor pushy.

Jacob's heart twitched for no reason. Did Sara really have no attachment to him from beginning to end? Even if he showed a little bit of attachment, their ending today would not be different.

When Sara walked into the crowd, only the upper echelons of the Shi family knew that they had divorced, and most of the people here today didn't know the truth.

In the crowd, everyone greeted Sara. They praised her beauty, wit and reason.

A wry smile appeared on Sara's face. Sure enough, there is something in life, not because of who you are, but because of who you represent.

Ethan stood on the balcony for a while. He finally decided to leave without saying goodbye.

Some things didn't just pretend not to care about them.

But what had happened would never go back in time no matter how hard he tried.

Ethan adjusted his mood and silently glanced at Sara in the crowd. Such a dazzling woman, unfortunately, the first person she met was Jacob. The order of appearance in life was very important, whether it was friendship or love. If someone was well acquainted with the other and had a firm relationship, his show-up was destined to be just supporting roles.

After the meeting, Sara waited for Jacob to go back to the villa. The two fell into silence.

Alice sat on the sofa in the living room quietly, as if she had just cried. There was an awkward atmosphere in the air. Sara pouted, but in the end, she didn't say a word. Yes, she didn't want to talk to Alice at all. In the end, she was so tired that she almost fell to the ground. Sara slowly walked along the wooden staircases, took her evening dress and slowly walked towards the bedroom upstairs.

Jacob frowned and looked at Alice in the living room. He felt frustrated. Women were the most terrible creatures in the world. Sara made him depressed already, but he didn't expect that he had to face two women.

In ancient times, the emperors had concubines. Perhaps they had to face too many women and be worried to death.

Frowning, Jacob walked behind Alice and gently put his hand on her shoulder. Alice suddenly began to cry. It seemed as if she had suffered a great grievance. Jacob's heart sank and his mind went blank.

"Don't cry, Alice. I know you feel wronged. But you know, I love you. I have no choice now. The company can't have any negative impact. Do you know that?" Jacob comforted her softly.

Alice nodded, "I know, but I can't help feeling sad." Alice just wanted to marry Jacob.

"Give me some time. I'll settle it as soon as possible." Jacob wiped the tears from the corners of Alice's eyes. For some reason, when a woman cried in front of him for the first time, he didn't know what to do. If she cried too many times, the tears would be worthless.

Alice nodded. She had never thought that Jacob would immediately marry her, but it didn't mean that she wouldn't remind Jacob all the time. Sometimes, marriage was extremely important for a woman.

Alice couldn't wait to drive Sara away. Even if the whole family knew that Jacob divorced, no one admitted that Alice was Jacob's wife, including Michael. Jacob told him that she was pregnant, but Michael still didn't summon her. All of these made Alice feel uneasy.

In the next morning, Sara got up early, washed herself and went downstairs for breakfast. She didn't want to face Jacob and Alice. After a few quick bites of breakfast and a piece of bread, Sara walked out in a hurry. The company had been struggling for two months, but she had to discontinue the cooperation with Ethan and she couldn't seek any new development. As soon as she arrived at the company, she saw Wade, an old employee, move his stuff away and say hello to Sara. "Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Sara."

Sara seemed to realize something and went straight to Carlos's office.

Carlos sat behind the desk in low spirits, looking miserable. Then he put his hand on half of his face.

Seeing this, Sara asked in a soft voice, "Dad, what's going on?"

"Our profit is not enough to support a large number of employees, so we have to turn to redundancy. 10 employees will leave today. " Carlos looked depressed.

"Everything will be fine, Dad. Don't worry. " Sara tried to comfort her father, but she could do nothing for it. Here cooperation with Ethan would make the situation better, but Jacob interfered in it half-way. Everything became extremely difficult again.

Affected by her father, Sara was in a low mood. The whole morning, she was in no mood to work in the office. Sara boredly turned on her mobile phone and sent a message to Bess on WeChat. "Bess, what are you doing?"

She was replied soon. "We have a new project recently. I'm supervising it."

"Okay." Sara regretted sending a message to Bess.

"What's the matter, Sara? Tell me."

"It's okay, Bess. I'm going to chat with you. Since you're busy, you can go ahead with your work. We'll meet next time. "

After turning off her phone and closing her eyes for relaxing, Sara had no appetite after eating the lunch box ordered by the company.

This was how life was like. Never count on others to save her, for they could save her and destroy her. Sara suspected that she had made a decision, but no matter what, she would get hurt. So what if she got hurt?

It was an ordinary day, but there was no obstacle that could not be overcome. Sara pulled himself up and drove back to the villa.

After all, she was unfilial. She seldom went home since she got married. Her father was always alone, so he had to pay more attention to the company's development.

It turned out that this was how the circle of causality happened. Getting something was bound to be accompanied by losing, and pain naturally nurtured vitality.

It was early in the morning when Sara came back home. Jacob and Alice didn't return yet. Winnie was playing with Dora in the living room. Seeing Sara opened the door, Dora rushed over excitedly and looked very intimate. Half squatting, Sara rubbed Dora's head. Dora had grown up and gained some weight. It could be seen that Winnie was taking good care of it.

Winnie looked at Sara with concern and said, "Hi, Sara." Winnie didn't know what to say to comfort her. Some people's heart was broken and words couldn't comfort them.

Sara nodded, "Winnie, what do you want to cook later? I'm hungry."

"I bought crabs and crayfish. I'll cook them right now." Winnie replied happily. As long as Sara still wanted to eat, she would be fine.

Nodding, Sara walked to the sofa in the living room and put down her handbag. She sat on the sofa and began to tease Dora.

The biggest advantage of pets was that they could not give people a sense of security, because there was only one person in the world of pets, and the owner was their own lifetime.

Thinking of this, Sara gently touched Dora's head, who danced happily. The corners of Sara's mouth lifted into a smirk.

It was a right decision to buy Dora back. While thinking, Sara touched Dora's soft body from time to time.
