Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Even though Sara looked calm on the outside, she still couldn't wrap her head around the fact that she and Jacob were now
divorced. It was impossible for two people not to develop feelings for each other, especially since they had been together for over
four years.
Rubbing her chest, Sara felt the pain getting greater and greater.
Looking over to Jacob, she saw that he had his back to her. 'I bet he must be very happy now that I'm out of his life,' she thought.
'He can finally be with the woman he truly loves.'
Sara thought all this was over. However, she didn't expect that this man not only unwilling to be with her, but also reluctant to let
her off.
"Don't announce our divorce yet for the time being." Jacob's sudden voice startled Sara. Coming out of her daze, she looked at
him with her eyes wide in shock.
Disbelief was written all over her face. What was she supposed to do now?
Turning around, Jacob looked at her, his eyes looking a bit gloomy. "What's wrong? I have supported your father's company for
four years. Is it too hard to make a small request like that from you?"
With a pale face, a weak smile suddenly appeared on Sara's face. Her red lips looked even more gorgeous. "You have nothing to
do with me now. Why should I listen to you? Besides, you helping out my father's company was all part of the agreement we
made when we got married. I have spent four years on you. Isn't that enough that I wasted my youth on you?"
After saying that, Sara bitterly looked down at the divorce certificate in her hand. What was the point of not letting anyone know
that she was no longer married? It was as if he was asking her to be both a chaste widow and his bitch.
Narrowing his eyes, Jacob frowned deeply at the woman in front of him. Although her face was pale, her skin was delicate and
smooth. The corners of her eyes, which were slightly raised, looked exceedingly fascinating even without makeup. But, her most
enticing feature was the color of her amber eyes. He could distinctly remember the tenderness in those eyes when they first got
married.
It went without saying that she had an indescribable charm.
At this moment, Jacob had to admit that she was much more beautiful than Alice. Not only did her appearance have visual
impact, but also she exuded an inner charm and temperament. People often found themselves staring at her in awe.

"Your youth?" Jacob scoffed, "Alice has wasted seven years of her youth, but she hasn't uttered a single word of complaint. Not
to mention that she hasn't even gotten anything from me! In comparison to her, you are a second-grade woman! What do you
have to show for in this world?"
At that moment, Jacob's thoughts flooded with his memories with Alice, his first love. Thinking of this, he wanted nothing more
but to destroy the woman in front of him.
'A second-grade woman? Is this guy for real?!'
This man, who had just become her ex-husband, dug up her heart in front of her in order to protect another woman?
Sara lowered her eyes, her thick and long lashes hiding the hurt and sadness she felt. When she looked up again, there was
nothing but detachment.
"My dear ex-husband, I don't have time to talk to you anymore. I'm just a second-grade woman, right? In that case, I have to
make our matter public. Otherwise, how else can I get out of your high-standard life?"
Biting her teeth, Sara said this with sarcasm pouring out her voice. She wanted to stimulate him to say something more hurtful.
Only in this way, her love for him for four years would gradually disappear, and she would leave the world of his existence.
"Fine!" Jacob spat out, gritting his teeth, "Since you want to sell yourself, I'll buy you back. You are not allowed to announce our
divorce to the public. I will continue to support your father's company and cooperate with him as many times as it takes to ensure
that his company will get more benefits."
'Is he threatening me now?' Sara thought in disbelief.
He wanted to divorce her for the sake of Alice, but the pressure from the media and other outside factors did not allow him to
reveal the news. Suddenly, Sara wanted nothing but to expose him ruthlessly.
"You did this all for Alice's sake, didn't you? When that woman abandoned you, why didn't you let her stay like now? All of a
sudden, she came back. You didn't care about anything. You didn't even know why she came back to you! Do you honestly think
that's love?" Regardless of the look in his face, Sara spoke out her thoughts in one breath. Her question was something Jacob
dared not to face the most.
Jacob's face darkened, and the blue veins on his forehead pulsated angrily. He clenched his fists angrily, walking closer and
closer to her. "You'd better take back all your words, or I'm not sure what I'll do next!" Sara retreated step by step until her back
finally hit against the wall. By now, Jacob was merely inches away from her.

"Take back my words? Why? Did I hit your sore spot? Are you really a fool to be so blind? No matter what she does, you still like
her, don't you? We have been together for four years. And yet you still try to compare me with her!" After blurting out every
hateful thing she could muster, Sara had sadness wash over her again.
Jacob was also stunned. He didn't expect that Sara would say something like that at this time. For a moment, he didn't know how
to respond. "I..." Thinking of the sad look in Alice's face, he made up his mind and shook his head. "We just got married by then
because it was convenient for both of us. You should know that better than anyone else," he said in a low and solemn tone.
Now, Sara was starting to regret everything she had blurted out. It was all a spur of the moment, and she wasn't thinking before
she spoke. But still, she could help but wonder in her heart... Did he really not have any feelings for her after all those years?
She tried her best to hold back her wild thoughts. Taking a deep breath, she looked at him straight in the eye with the same vigor
she had before.
"I do not need listen to you. You have no right to ask me to do that now," she said firmly. Jacob stood back, holding his gaze.
It was only then, standing inches away from her, did he realize that he had not looked closely at her before.
He noticed that her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and there were pink blood streaks around her amber eyes.
Her clean and fair face did not have a heavy makeup, making her look a little haggard than usual.
Somehow, his heart softened. "Sara... Did you --"
Before he finished his words, a charming voice sounded behind him.
"Jacob!" Standing not far away, Alice waved at him in the car.
Jacob didn't have time to think about it carefully. He quickly walked over to Alice, looking over his shoulder to say one last thing
to Sara.
"If you don't want anything to happen to your father's company, just listen to me."
A gust of wind blew, ruffling Sara's hair.
Her eyes were downcast and filled with pity for herself.
After the divorce, life was ordinary. Sara tried her best to relieve the sadness, but she couldn't help but feel lonely all the time.

Ethan tried so many things to make her happier.
"Let's go to the suburb today. I know a very beautiful place," Ethan suggested one day. His bright smile had a way to light up the
haze in her heart.
It seemed like such a long time since Sara got a breath of fresh air. Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Sara no
longer felt depressed. "This is actually a really good idea, Ethan," she said brightly, forcing herself to cheer up.
Before they got past the city border, their trip was abruptly interrupted by a call.
Glancing at the number on her phone scree, Sara frowned slightly.
She didn't want to answer it at first, but when she thought of the threat he left in the end, she took a big breath in and answered
it. "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Her tone was polite and alienated, maybe so that no one could tell the true feelings that were now surging up in her heart.
