Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Jacob gazed at Sara's sleepy face and asked, "What time did you wake up?"
"Just now. Why?" Sara answered groggily while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
It was undeniable that she looked adorable despite her unruly hair and groggy state. Looking at her red cheeks, Jacob could not
help but caress it.
"What do you want to do?" he asked with concern. It seemed that Sara wanted to do something.
However, he did not press further and just looked at her.
"I'm hungry. I didn't eat much in the restaurant," Sara mumbled with a pout.
Because of that, Jacob asked a flight stewardess if she could bring some food. Sadly, as it was not yet time to eat, rice was
unavailable.
Fortunately, there was some bread left. Sara was so hungry that she even licked the cream off her bread. After she had finished
the bread, it seemed that she still wanted more.
"Why? You're still hungry?" Jacob could not help but chuckle. Why did he not realize that she was actually a foodie?
Sara glanced at him timidly, embarrassment apparent on her face. Jacob wanted to laugh but knew better not to. Instead, he sat
up straight and looked into her eyes.
As Sara felt embarrassed by his gaze, she hid her face in his arms. Although she felt shy, she looked undeniably beautiful.
Jacob did not speak anymore. He was afraid that she would get angry if he said something wrong. If that indeed happened, it
would be difficult for him to coax her.
It was not that he was afraid of her getting mad at him. He just had to respect his woman.
Everything went well along the way. Not long after, Jacob also fell asleep.
At that moment, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning in Sri Lanka.
Jacob awoke first, so he woke up Sara. The latter still wanted to sleep, but they had to get off the plane soon. She then rubbed
the sleep from her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of her.

While Sara was standing on the ladder to disembark from the plane, she gazed at the sky in the distance.
Although it was hard to see what it looked like, she could vaguely tell that the sky looked magnificent. Then, she glanced at
Jacob, who was standing next to her.
'The most romantic thing I can think of is standing by your side, watching the sun as it slowly rises in the morning and as it sets in
the dusk.'
There was a determined look on Sara's face. Beside Jacob, she looked like a shy bride. She was staring at him, and so he
looked back at her.
Their eyes met for a moment. After that, they finally walked out of the airport.
They hailed a taxi and found the hotel they had booked prior to the trip. Once they reached their destination, they went straight to
their room. Sara lay on the bed. She was sleepy, but at the same time, thrilled. Today was a new beginning.
Jacob lay down next to her not long after. Now that they were lying next to each other, they stretched their fatigued limbs due to
the trip, making the bed seem smaller than it actually was.
He cast a sideway glance at Sara and joked, "Excuse me, Sara. You've squeezed me out of the bed."
But instead of joking back, she casually put her hand under her head and retorted in a deadpan expression, "So, what?"
Jacob was taken aback by her response. He figured that it was better for him to stay silent, so he just stared at the ceiling in
silence.
"Why don't we go to sleep? Let's just go out and enjoy the scenery at dawn. Is that okay?" he asked blankly as if in a daze.
Sara merely uttered a single word in agreement. With that, she tucked herself to bed. Flying in an airplane was really tiresome.
All she wanted to do at the moment was to have a rest.
After a few minutes, her breath came out evenly, indicating that she was already fast asleep. Meanwhile, Jacob was still staring
at the ceiling. Since she wanted to sleep, he let her do so.
Jacob finally fell asleep after quite some time. When he woke up, the sun had already risen at its peak.
"Wake up, Sara." He got up first and gently shook his companion, who was still sleeping. It was not until he shook her several
times did she wake up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she checked the time. She was surprised to see that it was already noon.
Sara patted her head and exclaimed, "Oh no! How come I slept so deeply?"
Because it was already lunch time, she and Jacob freshened up hurriedly. She wore a gray jacket and leather trousers as her
outfit for the day.
Her slender figure was set off beautifully by the clothes, which made Jacob stare at her as she stood by the door of the hotel.
She put her right hand on her waist and said, "Hurry up! I'm so hungry. Let's go eat delicious foods!"
Her words put a smile on Jacob's face. To be honest, he was expecting her to say that. It was not until then that he was
convinced that she was indeed a foodie.
Sara must have hidden it so well that Jacob did not notice it before.
Seeing that he was still standing, gawking at her, she pulled his hand in a hurry.
"Come on! Let's have fun!"
Holding his hand, she pulled him to the side of the road. Jacob happily obliged.
They were amazed that there were some Chinese on the streets. Most of the people, however, were not as fair-skinned as them.
Those people were definitely not Chinese!
When Jacob and Sara walked on the street, they attracted a lot of attention. It was only at that time did it really dawn on Jacob
that they were foreigners to the people around them.
Ignoring the onlookers, he held Sara's hand, and they walked quickly to a restaurant on the side of the road.
Although he had searched for a famous restaurant before they came there, he decided to grab a go-to food since they were in a
hurry. He wanted to have a simple meal with her before they ate at another restaurant.
Although Jacob had always said that Sara was a foodie, he had to admit that he was one too.
Eating and drinking are the happiest activities in the world. Although those acts seem vulgar, Jacob had to admit that it was fun
to do those.

A person who likes to eat can be easily satisfied. Those who do not are probably cold and hard to please.
Jacob did not want to be that kind of person, so he decided that he liked eating.
Even so, he had always been very particular about what he ate. On the other hand, Sara did not eat food that much before since
she wanted to be in good shape and health.
People are naturally picky about what they eat and will only eat what they like. If they do not like the food, they will not even
bother touching it.
Truth be told, Jacob was envious of those who were not picky. They had the liberty to taste all the delicious food in the world. It
must be great happiness to experience that!
Like a gust of wind, Jacob and Sara walked into the restaurant. The former ordered some local delicacies and looked around the
place.
The restaurant was European style and looked noble and elegant. Jacob could not stop nodding in approval.
Since they had come to Sri Lanka, they had better do what Sri Lankans do. Jacob ordered a seafood dish, as well as beef and
mutton. The most important food that they had to order was, of course, curry rice.
As they waited for the dishes to be served, Sara could not help but look at the other guests in the restaurant.
It seemed that there were no Chinese guests at that moment. She then gazed at the dark-skinned people around her with
curiosity.
Sri Lanka is a small tropical country. It is not surprising that locals had dark skin. Because of that, she and Jacob looked
conspicuous due to their fair skin.
They were just at the restaurant to dine, yet they attracted people's curious gazes. Sara thought that if she wanted to attract
attention, she had better go abroad.
Of course, that was only a joke. Not long after, the waiter served their orders with enthusiasm. She could no longer wait to start
eating!
Meanwhile, Jacob lowered his head and ate the curry carefully. It was very spicy, yet he was satisfied by it, especially when the
taste reached the tip of his tongue.

Sara loved spicy food. Even though the curry rice was spicy, she had had several mouthfuls of it within a minute.
"Slow down, Sara. Many people are looking at you. Where are your manners?"
