Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 23 Heartless

Jacob had a good sleep. Maybe he was tired after staying up late, maybe he was tired after making love, or he even didn't have a dream all night.

When he woke up in the morning, Alice was still sleeping. He kissed gently on Alice's forehead. Jacob also got up gently and put on his clothes. He was still needed in the company and could not leave for too long under any circumstances.

An old Chinese saying that those who work with their brains will rule and those who labor with physical strength are governed by others. Even so, it was not necessarily easier for those who work with their brains to live than those who labor with physical strength. On the contrary, the former paid more efforts, they usually lived more tired and troubled. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Fortunately, Jacob had been familiar with affairs of human life since he was a child and was not afraid of the former. No matter how fearless he was, he had to do many things by himself. No one could do a lot of things for him.

How bad his temper was, how good a skill he had. It was well-known that Jacob had a bad temper, but he was also known for his stability, accuracy and fierceness in business. Therefore, to Sara, it was just a happy business, but it was a business that he had to worry about.

For the whole week, Jacob didn't go back to the villa, as if he was deliberately embarrassing Sara.

But Sara didn't feel embarrassed at all. If he didn't come back, who would be humiliated? Jacob knew better than Sara.

When Sara was free, she went to buy a lovely labrador for Winnie. The dog was so clever that it learned to go to the toilet in two days.

Winnie named the dog Dora, because she needed to get a health certificate or a dog breeding certificate Sara had been busy with this matter for a whole week, so she had no time to think about Jacob's intention.

Dora was very obedient and liked to be around people. Winnie was very happy. Every day when she came back to the villa after work, Sara would play with Sara.

Dora liked Sara very much and waited for her at the door every day happily.

Winnie was happier since she had Dora, and so did Sara. Winnie was used to walking the dog every day, and she even had a little expectation.

A week had passed. On Monday, Sara went to work as usual. She hadn't seen Jacob for a week. She didn't expect that the person she didn't want to see before suddenly disappeared.

When Sara saw Ethan again, she was at an industry exposition. Unexpectedly, Ethan's company was engaged in retail, almost a city's giant in retail. It was also a first-class company all over the country.

Ethan was dressed in a gray suit, and his angular face was conspicuous in the crowd. After all, generally speaking, the CEOs of companies were usually all fat, and the people like Jacob and Ethan were rare.

Ethan noticed Sara at a glance. She was wearing a formal suit and smiling.

Wearing a white shirt and a black tight skirt, Sara looked more delicate and capable. Ethan smiled

She walked up to Sara and greeted her.

"HI, long time no see, Sara. You are more and more beautiful. " Ethan didn't praise people easily, but for beautiful girls, he would not hesitate to praise.

With a blush on her face, Sara said, "Hi, long time no see, Mr. Ethan, you are getting more and more eloquent."

Only when the two of them talked did they find a chance to cooperate.

Ethan replied delightedly, "I had thought my business partner is far away. I didn't expect she is close to me. We are still looking for a supplier everywhere. It seems that we need to have a talk. Miss Sara, please spare some time for me and let's talk about the details of our cooperation. "

Life was full of surprises. Unexpectedly, after leaving Jacob, life was full of nobility.

Sara nodded happily.

After the meeting, the two went to a restaurant. During the dinner, Ethan always amused Sara with humor, which made her laugh like a silver bell. After that, the two had a preliminary discussion about the cooperation matters and schedule of the company. Ethan planned to open two more large-scale supermarkets in the city, but he was worrying about finding someone to be the shop manager.

So he suggested that Sara should work as a manager in one of the stores. Realizing that she was lack of ability and energy, Sara refused.

After dinner, Ethan leapt back to the company to deal with the new restaurant, while Sara was sorting out the materials needed to cooperate.

Jacob hadn't been home for a week, and the family members had already been observing this in secret. After all, Jonathan always wanted to have the goods on Jacob, so that he could tell his father, "Look, a man who can't even handle his private life can't deal with the business of the company well.

The assistant whispered in Jonathan's ear with her hands covering her face. An unnoticeable smile appeared on Jonathan's face. He asked his assistant to leave.

When Sara came back home, she found that Winnie was waiting for him at the door with a strange look on her face.

"What's wrong, Winnie?"

"Sara, Jacob brought a woman back. It seems that we are going to live in the villa. " Winnie said awkwardly.

Sara felt depressed as if she was blocking a big stone in her heart.

Was Jacob so arrogant that he brought Alice back to the villa directly? Wasn't he afraid of being known by others? Was he crazy to be so blatant?

Sara pretended to be calm and walked into the villa. Jacob was sitting on the sofa, and Alice was sitting on Jacob's legs. The two were in an intimate posture. Seeing that Sara came in, Alice got off Jacob's legs shyly.

Deep inside, Sara despised the pretentious look on Alice's face.

"Jacob, don't you think you've gone too far?" Raising her eyebrows, Sara glanced at the two people who were pretending to be flirting.

"Too far. I'm a bachelor now. What's wrong with me finding a new girlfriend to take her home? As for you, you always hook up with three or four women outside. Why haven't you sold yourself out yet? " Jacob stressed the three words "sold" on purpose.

Winnie, who was standing next to them, was stunned. When did Jacob and Sara divorce? No wonder Jacob didn't go home for a week. Looking at Alice with an innocent look on her face on the sofa, Winnie felt pitiful for Sara. She was a woman of bad luck.

With her right hand resting on the solid wood stairs, Sara was about to go upstairs. When a man loved you, he really loved you. He would not be shy to show his love to you. But when he doesn't love you, all his love was the same, impatient, and even disgusting.

Knowing this, Sara always pretended that she didn't care, but it didn't mean that she really didn't care. Looking at the bright smile on Alice's face who was in Jacob's arms, Sara couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

She just took two steps upstairs.

"From now on, you can't live in the master bedroom upstairs anymore. Alice will sleep in that room. " Jacob also raised his head and narrowed his long and narrow eyes into a seam. He wanted to have good nights with Alice in front of Sara, so that she could taste the loneliness and unbearable feeling of being alone.

Sara turned around and said with sneer, "I don't mind giving her what I don't want."

Jacob tried his best to suppress his anger. What did Sara mean? Did he mean that Jacob was also something she didn't want! It was Jacob who abandoned her. How could she still be so righteous?

Alice opened her mouth and said, "Jacob, I don't want to live in that room all of a sudden. Let's change to another one. That room was once lived by others. I think it's dirty... "

"Dirty?" There was uncontrollable anger in Sara's voice.

"Then you won't let go of the man I've slept with."

Her words instantly hurt Alice. "You..."

Alice was so angry that she couldn't refute. She had to raise her head pitifully to look at Jacob and shouted, "Jacob, see?"

Jacob also listened to what Sara had just said in his heart. It turned out that Jacob was nothing more than what she had abandoned in her heart. She was indeed ruthless.
