Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Thompson knew what Alice had gone through. Now he was even with her, wasn't he?
Alice looked at Thompson in shock. She hadn't come to herself from his kiss. Then she opened her eyes wide and looked at
Thompson. Everything was like a dream to her.
"What..." Alice looked at Thompson in confusion. Thompson said nothing but looked into Alice's eyes.
What had just happened was real. It was real that Thompson had kissed Alice. But Alice still felt that everything was unreal.
What happened?
"I thought I was going to die. But when Jonathan attacked me, I kept telling myself that I couldn't die. I still have a lot of things to
do. I... "
Lowering her head, Alice said in a low voice. Thompson looked at Alice in silence. Her low mood also affected him. Thompson
reached out and caressed her hair.
Alice looked at Thompson in horror. She was not used to seen him like that.
"What's wrong with you?" Asked Thompson in a low voice, but Alice shook her head. She wanted to ask him the same.
Alice looked at Thompson and dared not look into his eyes.
"I need to go now. I have business to deal with. I have to make a break with Jonathan." Alice whispered. She thought she was
really going to die that day.
Death was instant, and then no more worries left. But when Alice was strangled by Jonathan, she had no fear at all.
She even felt a little relieved because her pain was finally going to over, and she didn't have to live in fear anymore.
But when Alice woke up, she found that she was still in the same nightmare. No one could define the domestic violence till now.
Thompson sighed, "You are going to find him, right?"
Alice was stunned and recalled Jacob's face. Yes, she needed to find him. It was time to end it.
She had hurt Jacob so many times. Would he forgive her and meet her again? Alice was not so sure. What goes around comes
around. She deserved it.

Alice looked around and found that the room was empty with the smell of disinfectant. She didn't expect that Thompson would
accompany her till now, and she also didn't expect that Thompson would...
Alice sighed and then left the hospital. Even though the doctor also persuaded her to stay, she was determined.
However, Thompson didn't stop Alice. She could do whatever she wanted to do now. Thompson had no choice but to let Alice
go. It was her choice.
Alice didn't care about Jonathan's whereabouts right now. She had to go to find a detective as soon as possible, because that
detective had all the evidence she had investigated.
In order to get Jonathan down, Alice endured humiliation and torture from him. Now, it was time to make an end.
But the vital evidence was not enough. In order to pull Jacob down, Jonathan not only bribed the directors of the company, but
also tampered with the financial documents.
Of course, it doesn't mean anything. The key point was that the Shi Group couldn't hold on any longer. Jonathan even wanted to
sell the company's shares he had. As a CEO, it was unreasonable for him to do so.
But Alice was just an outsider, and she had no right to charge him even she had evidence in the company.
Alice didn't tell Thompson about it, but she guessed he had known about it.
What's more, Jonathan had long been unpopular in the company. Alice even thought that Thompson was wrong to choose her
as an ally.
She was not as determined as she thought. She had already changed her mind before she really did something.
Alice sat quietly in the cafe with empty eyes. Now she didn't even know what to do next. She took out her phone and called
Jacob. She only told him that she had something to talk to him, but she didn't mention the details.
Would he come? She had done so many bad things to him. Would Jacob forgive her?
Alice stirred the coffee with a spoon and looked absent-minded.
Her suffering was caused by her own choice. If she could see through it at the beginning, then she would not be ended up like
this now.

Jacob didn't answer immediately, but hung up the phone. But Alice didn't feel disappointed. She even wanted to laugh. Now she
and Jacob were really strangers now.
Well, everything could be started again since they had no connection anymore.
Alice drank a cup of coffee, and then another one. The coffee without sugar was bitter. It tasted like her short youth.
And it was all because that she didn't put sugar in it. She looked out of the window and there was no sign of Jacob.
Alice didn't expect any more and she understood Jacob's decision. After all, she had lied to him so many times and it was
reasonable that Jacob didn't believe her this time.
It didn't matter. Alice didn't plan to keep waiting for him. When she stood up and was about to leave, she saw Jacob stood at the
door.
Everything seemed to have not changed. Jacob was still wearing a white shirt, just like he did when he was young.
Alice was stunned. Even Jacob walked to her, she still couldn't come to herself.
"What's up?" Jacob said in a gentle tone. He came out today before discussed with Sara. He couldn't ignore Alice when she
needed help.
Seeing the wound on Alice's neck at a glance, Jacob frowned slightly. He asked softly, "Did he do it?"
Alice nodded and handed a large bag of documents to Jacob.
"Sorry, I can only help you by doing so." Lowering her head, Alice looked very upset.
Jacob stared at Alice and felt like that she looked like the girl as she was. But they couldn't go back anymore. No matter what,
the past was the past.
Alice looked up into Jacob's eyes. It was not until then that Jacob noticed the tears in Alice's eyes.
"Winter is coming again." Alice said abruptly and found that Jacob was staring at her.
Jacob sighed, "Yeah."
Jacob didn't ask what Alice had given him, but he believed that it must be something important.

"Well, I'm leaving now. I hope these things are helpful for you." Alice stood up with difficulty just as she had chosen to leave
Jacob before.
Jacob saw Alice off, but then, he suddenly called her. "Alice."
Alice looked back at Jacob with tears streaming down her face.
"What?" Alice smiled while she asked.
Jacob paused, and blurted out the words that were stuck in his throat.
"I'm sorry. I wish you happiness." Jacob said in a calm voice. Hearing his words, Alice still smiled.
She couldn't let him know how sad she was right now. Jacob looked at Alice, frowned.
"I know. I wish you happiness too. ..."
Alice turned around and left. At that moment, Jacob looked at her back and had a mixed feeling. When he recalled that day after,
he found that it was the last time he saw Alice.
Since that day, Jacob could not recall the expression on Alice's face. He couldn't recall what had happened. Since that day, Alice
disappeared from his life.
And this time, she was not playing a trick. She disappeared completely, but Jacob didn't know it at that time.
Sometimes people would not expect that a casual meeting would be the last one. That bless was her last words left for him.
"Bye, Jacob." After saying that, Alice smiled at Jacob and then walked out of the cafe.
'Goodbye, Jacob. You won't see me again, as you always wish.'
When Jacob returned home, he told Sara what happened during their meeting. Confused, Sara looked at Jacob who opened the
file bag.
Inside the bag was full of documents about what Jonathan had done. Jacob looked at the bag in shock. Alice just gave it to him?
It was indeed useful. Recently, the Shi Group had been bidding with the company. If he could use these materials properly, the
bidding result would be self-evident.

Jacob didn't know how Alice and Jonathan's was marriage going on.
But from the wound on Alice's neck, he could tell that their marriage was probably not as smooth as they thought. Most of the
things in the world were not perfect. If you wanted peace, you had to pay for it.
Jacob handed the documents to the police, and soon, Jonathan was arrested. The Shi Group was on the verge of collapsing.
The established company was on the verge of bankruptcy overnight. Standing under the building of the Shi Group, Jacob
stretched out his hand to block the sunlight.
There was a hint of coolness in it as the autumn breeze blew by. Jacob closed the car door and walked into the Shi Group.
As soon as he entered the Shi Group, he saw the directors were waiting in the reception hall on the first floor.
"Mr. Jacob, you're back?"
"Mr. Jacob, you're back?"
Everyone asked Jacob the same question, but Jacob just looked solemn. What were they talking about? He was standing here
right now. Why did they ask him such stupid question?
"I've heard that the company has been acquired. Mr. Jacob, about this matter..." Some directors couldn't wait but ask. Who on
earth was this mysterious buyer?
Jacob shook his head. "I don't know neither, but I've heard about it. I just came back to take a look. "
"So you didn't do it, Mr. Jacob. What happened?"
The directors were all dejected because they knew that everyone present had 'made a contribution' to the company's current
situation.
