Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 152

Jacob said expressionlessly, "I can forgive you for those tricks in the past. I can let it go. But this time, I really can't forgive you. I think you need to calm down for a while. We should both calm down."

Tears welled up in Alice's eyes. She didn't expect Jacob to be so resolute. "No, Jacob. You can't do this to me after all these years of love."

"Alice! Don't you know how much this matter will affect my life? This is not in my plan. The only way to solve it is to pretend that it has never happened." Jacob said in a cold voice, but his voice was raised eight degrees higher.

Alice was dazed for a moment. Pulling the corner of Jacob's clothes, she sat in front of the sofa in low spirits, and her face had already lost its color. She couldn't imagine going abroad alone. In the past four years, she had already known how it felt to go abroad.

"Please, Jacob, don't do this to me." Alice's voice was a little shrill, and for the first time, Jacob made her feel scared. No matter what happened in the past, Jacob would forgive her.

"Alice, it's too late. The reason why I allowed you to do anything you want was that I loved you." Jacob had no time to be euphemistic. In the past, he was afraid of hurting the woman in front of him, but now he just wanted to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.

Alice sat on the ground dejectedly, "You love her so much that you can ignore everything. How can you do this to me?"

Jacob became impatient. He didn't want to be entangled with Alice anymore. "Alice, I think you have made a mistake from beginning to end. That is, the person who married me for four years is her, not you. Besides, don't get her involved in anything. I just don't love you. It's none of her business. Even without her, I don't love you anymore. Do you understand?"

The hand holding the corner of Jacob's clothes slipped down automatically. It turned out that it was like a circus performance, and Alice was the most hardworking one. Alice was desperate. Jacob said again, "You can leave now. I don't want to see you again."

After saying that, Jacob stood up and left quickly. He couldn't stay in this disgusting place for even a second.

Alice sat on the ground dejectedly. Through her clothes, she felt that her legs were as cold as ice. But compared with the coldness in her heart, it was nothing.

Originally, she had placed all her bets on this matter, but she didn't expect that she would lose so thoroughly.

No one knew who had said that in love, the one who loved first would lose, and the one who was serious first would lose.

Jacob went downstairs in anger. It snowed. He couldn't help but think of a poem, "Nothing can be more vivid than comparing the snow too the catkins flying in the wind." Jacob sniffed and felt sad.

Looking up at the gray sky in front of him, a silent pain arose from the bottom of his heart. Now, he didn't even have the last chance to make up with Sara in the end. He would always feel guilty because of this matter. And all sorts of evidences were pointed to Alice.

It might be cruel to send Alice abroad, but as long as she appeared in Jacob's life, he would think of what happened last night.

The best way to erase the stain in one's life was to let the person who knew about it disappear. This matter would only be known by Alice, by himself and by God. Jacob didn't want a third person to know it.

He didn't go to the company. Instead, he called James and said that he couldn't go to the company because of something. Now that James was in charge of the company, Jacob felt relieved. What's more, assistant Cindy was smart and capable, which made Jacob count on her. Jacob even changed his prejudice against the female assistant. Sometimes, a woman couldn't think of something he couldn't think of.

He drove aimlessly on the main road in the city. The thick haze in the sky made people feel flustered. Maybe life was like this city, sometimes sunny and sometimes hazy.

Jacob didn't turn on the air-conditioner in the car. Only the cold could calm him down at such a moment. He thought of Noah at the first time, but since he was preparing for his own wedding, it was not worth telling him such a fact.

Jacob squinted his eyes and a familiar figure flashed through his mind.

At 11 o'clock, outside the Time Bar. A black Bentley screeched to a halt. A man in a black overcoat with distinct facial features got out of the car, attracting the attention of the passers-by around. Someone recognized Jacob at a glance and even took photos with his mobile phone secretly.

Regardless of the gazes of the people around him, Jacob just wanted to have a good drink today.

Cindy had already been waiting at the door of the Time Bar. In the far corner, Jacob had also hired bodyguards to protect him, both openly and secretly. Jacob had to go through it before he realized that he was thoughtless in the past. Only after experiencing the bloody lesson did Jacob know that he was too relieved about his own safety before.

After going through so many things, Jacob finally realized that there was always someone who wanted to hurt him.

Taking the scarf from Cindy, Jacob nodded with satisfaction. He didn't say anything but the assistant knew to take a scarf for him. This was the considerate place of a female assistant.

"Boss, what happened to you?" Cindy asked abruptly.

Jacob stopped and glanced at Cindy, "It's none of your business as long as it doesn't affect the company."

The smile on Cindy's face was not affected at all. "I understand, boss. I was just being nosy."

Jacob sighed, "Let's go inside. I didn't mean to blame you. But I don't want to say it now. Do as I tell you to do as soon as possible. If she doesn't agree, do everything you can, okay?"

Cindy noticed the coldness in Jacob's eyes. Even a business woman like her couldn't help shivering.

"I know, Mr. Jacob. I will finish it as soon as possible." Cindy replied calmly. She had seen all kinds of things. As for the grudges in the rich and powerful families, she was tired of them. Even so, Cindy felt cold.

It was different from hearing about and being involved in. Since ancient times, there were many conflicts in the rich and powerful families.

Jacob narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't drink. I'll get drunk later. You have to drive me home."

Cindy was a little surprised, but she didn't dare to say anything. She would do as the boss ordered. She should always obey the order of the person who paid her. Of course, she wouldn't be nosy.

Cindy nodded. It was noon, so there were fewer people in the bar. Normally, the bar wouldn't open in the daytime, but the bar of Sean was open 24 hours a day. In this way, at least the basic guest sources were guaranteed every day, and the competitors during the day were much fewer.

"Tell the servants not to act like last time."

Jacob turned his head. He didn't want the Time Bar to be the place of his death.

Jacob used to worry too little about his safety, but now he wouldn't.

Jacob squinted his eyes in preparation. He gazed at the Time Bar.

There were few people. Only someone who was drinking alone.
