Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 146

Alice took a deep breath and saw the snow flying in front of her. She didn't know whether she was happy or worried.

After the last experience, this time, she had an extra thought. Now she had to be on guard against Jacob. Because even she couldn't figure out what Jacob really thought.

Finally, it was not until afternoon that Jacob called Alice and told her that he was outside the Times Square. Alice got excited at once. Jacob would definitely ask her about the news today, which made Alice a little nervous.

She was nervous not because she didn't know what was going to happen, but because she knew that she couldn't solve the problem.

She straightened her clothes and flushed with excitement.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of the Times Square, she recognized Jacob's car. Jacob changed his car into a Bentley. Alice's eyes lit up. She could have gotten these easily, but things were different now.

She walked to the car. Jacob was sitting in the back row. It turned out to be a female driver who was driving the car for him. If it weren't for her normal appearance, Alice would have thought too much. The female driver got out of the car and opened the door for Alice. After sitting in the car with her head down, Alice felt warm in an instant.

"Have you changed to a female assistant? Jacob?" Alice asked as she naturally put her bag on the seat. She wouldn't allow any woman to get close to Jacob easily, not even they were ugly!

"Yes. I didn't like my former assistant, so I asked the Human Resource Department to change another assistant for me." Jacob seemed to be perfunctory or absent-minded.

"How's the company going recently?" Alice just wanted to make a declaration of her special relationship with Jacob in front of the female assistant. So she asked randomly.

"Fine. There's a little trouble, but I'm dealing with it now." Jacob acted casually with his hands crossed over his chest.

"By the way, how's your injury? Is there any serious aftereffect on your shoulders and legs?" Alice asked with concern.

"Don't worry. It's just that it still hurts when it's cold. I don't know if there's any lingering effect of the disease." Jacob narrowed his eyes with a complicated look. Alice's concern didn't seem to be fake, so what was the reason for all this.

Alice widened her eyes in disbelief, "How could this be? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor said that the impact of the car accident was too great, and the internal muscle tissue might be damaged. There was no other way but to nurse my health." Jacob's heart. fluctuated. This result made him hard to get over.

"How could this be..." Alice murmured, as if she couldn't accept it.

"Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm still alive." Jacob smiled.

"Jacob, I..." Alice wanted to say something about the news last time, but stopped on a second thought.

"Don't say anything. I know everything. It's none of your business." Jacob saw through what Alice was thinking, so he replied with duplicity.

"Jacob, I haven't finished yet. It was my fault last time. I shouldn't have been so impulsive to listen to others. I'm sorry for the loss I caused to the company and the bad impact on the reputation of you and Sara." Lowering her eyelids, Alice twisted her hands into different shapes. She knew what kind of person Jacob was.

Jacob glanced at the woman beside him. Women were indeed terrible creatures. "It doesn't matter. Let bygones be bygones. I don't want to mention that anymore."

Alice was shocked at first, and then delighted. Jacob must have believed what Thompson said. "Jacob, how's everything going between you and Sara?"

Alice herself was also shocked by her sudden question. But when she thought of her relationship with Jacob for so many years, it was impossible for her not to ask such a question. Even though she was afraid of the answer, she wanted to know more.

"The same, maybe worse." Jacob looked serious. Perhaps the divorcing news would have a great impact on the relationship between the two, but Jacob didn't want to look into it anymore.

The Bentley was galloping on the main passage of the city, as if it was shuttling back and forth in the middle of winding lines. There was no expectant scenery or people, only a monotonous going forward forever.

The Bentley slammed on the brake and stopped at the door of Jacob's villa. Looking up at the familiar and strange environment, Alice didn't expect to come back in this way.

Alice was calm. There were too many bad memories left here. However, deep in her heart, she was eager to come back here. This was Jacob's home, and after she left Jacob, she was like a homeless walking dead. Alice stared blankly at the gate of Jacob's villa. A man who looked about 50 years old was standing at the gate, wearing a thick coat.

Alice looked for the man in front of her in her mind, but she didn't remember him, which made her feel disappointed. For so many years, how many things of Jacob's life did she miss? And how many of them had been occupied by Sara? It turned out that the loss was not in the order of appearance, but in the time.

In a graceful manner, Alice put one of her feet on the ground first. In high heels, she was one head shorter than Jacob, looking very harmonious standing together.

James had seen a lot of people. It was just that he wouldn't easily define a person who he had met for the first time. But when he first saw the contemptuous expression on Alice's face when she looked at assistant Cindy, he knew that Sara would never have such an expression.

Even the cold and arrogant Sara knew how to respect everyone. However, the petite and charming Alice in front of him wouldn't act in the same way.

James walked up to them and said with concern, "You're back. Come on in. It's cold outside."

Jacob nodded and looked back at the puzzled face of Alice. He said softly, "Let's go inside. Winnie has prepared the dinner and is waiting for us."

Hearing the name of Winnie, a burst of contempt rose in Alice's heart. 'She is just a servant. The food she cooked didn't suit my appetite, but I couldn't even criticize her.' Alice looked calm, but she kept muttering in her heart.

'And who is the man in front of me? Is he the new housekeeper hired by Jacob? But he doesn't look like a housekeeper. It feels that the way he manipulates everything is frightening.'

Alice thought she was too careless today that she forgot to ask who was the person she met. And Jacob didn't introduce him to her. Wasn't it the suitable time?

Alice followed Jacob cautiously with doubts. During this period, James had been silently observing Alice, but no one noticed it.

The moment Alice raised her eyes, she happened to meet James's eyes. After a short eye contact between the two, Alice could not help but lower her eyes. For so many years, it was rare for her to see such sharp eyes, which made her shiver.

The man in front of her made her feel cold, but she didn't know how to deal with him. No matter how powerful she was, she had never met such a fierce person. At this moment, she lost her confidence.

Jacob didn't know anything about what had happened between them. He looked around the kitchen and found that Winnie and the newly hired cooks were chatting happily. Jacob felt a little comfortable. It was true that he didn't care too much about the people around him in the past, so that others wanted to leave him. It was not until then that Jacob realized that he had always been indifferent and outrageous.

The room was quiet. Seeing Alice come in, Dora didn't respond. Even if she was gentle, Dora would never make out with Alice. Alice didn't care about it at all. If she wasn't favored by Jacob, she would not be welcome to the whole family of him.

Sitting on the leather sofa in the living room, Alice felt as if it had been a lifetime. Life wasn't about falling in love. Falling in love was about seeking the abstract happiness, and life was always about being fulfilling.

Alice cautiously sat on the sofa and looked up at Jacob. Jacob seemed to remember something and said, "I forgot to introduce you just now."

He stood between James and Alice, like a matchmaker. "This is James, my father's little brother."

Alice was shocked. She didn't expect that the man in front of her was an elder of Jacob. Alice thought to herself that she had left a bad impression on him. Thinking of his sternness, her heart sank.

Jacob continued, "Uncle James, this is Alice, a friend of mine."
