Chapter 40 Being Lonely Till Death
At this time, the door was opened. Jacob and Alice came back. The two followed each other like shadows. Without raising her head to look at the door, Sara played with Dora.
Seeing Jacob come back, Dora suddenly became much quieter. Was it afraid of Jacob? Sara was speechless. It turned out that Dora was also afraid of Jacob. 'Harmless to people and animals is really a derogatory term, ' Sara thought.
Seeing that Sara was quietly teasing Dora, completely ignoring him. Jacob felt a little unhappy. But it was the time to lose her temper. It was not good for everyone.
Seeing that Sara was in the living room, Alice didn't want to go there. After all, it was right for enemies to be jealous when they met. Seeing Jacob walking towards the table, Alice stopped.
Jacob went to the kitchen and told Winnie not to cook too much. He and Alice had already had dinner outside. Alice smiled complacently. However, as if she had turned a deaf ear to them, she couldn't wait to have dinner alone without them around.
Sara continued to tease Dora happily, and the latter was no longer vigilant.
Jacob said to Winnie and walked out. He looked up at Alice and then turned to look at Sara. At this time, Sara looked extraordinarily beautiful, less defensive and more natural. Jacob had a complicated expression on his face. Was this what he was unwilling to admit in his heart? Obviously, Jacob couldn't abandon Sara, but he didn't dare to admit it.
Because admitting meant admitting defeat. In the emotional world, the one who admitted first would admit defeat? What's more, Jacob now had Alice.
"Go upstairs." Jacob said to Alice. He didn't want to see the two women fight against each other again. He had seen too much. If they kept fighting like this, he wouldn't feel good.
Amicable parting wasn't easy. Jacob walked towards the wooden stairs slowly, firmly and without hesitation. Alice followed him closely.
Without raising her head, Sara asked, "Winnie, is dinner ready? I'm hungry."
"Almost done." Winnie laughed softly like a loving mother.
Jacob was also shocked. Since the divorce, he had no appetite and he had lost a lot of weight. Now Sara's appetite had become better. Had she got out of the haze of divorce?
Jacob didn't know whether Sara should be happy or sad for himself. It turned out that all the pain would be healed. Without looking back, Jacob went upstairs to his bedroom. He had never found that life was so embarrassing. The three people with different dreams were living under the same roof, and she was the one who started it. But now he was in a dilemma. The reason why he took Alice back to the villa was to annoy Sara.
However, many things had gone beyond their original control as soon as they happened. Jacob didn't expect that things would end up like this. But to his surprise, Sara couldn't stand it.
Jacob was in fancies and conjectures. He had no idea what to do in the future.
Alice couldn't figure out what was wrong with Jacob today. As soon as he returned to the villa, she felt that Jacob behaved strangely. But he couldn't ask directly. If she didn't have the mind reading skill, what was the point of asking? Alice followed Jacob silently.
Sara walked to the dining table with Dora. When she saw crabs and crayfish on the table, she couldn't help mouthwatering.
"Winnie, come with me. It's a waste if I can't finish it. " Sara invited Winnie to dine with her.
"Thank you, Sara, I had dinner already." Winnie rejected.
After all, Winnie was old and couldn't digest much food at night, so Sara didn't push her. If Winnie ate it and had a stomachache at night, Sara would blame herself again.
After washing her hands, before Sara dried her hands, she picked up a crayfish and began to eat. Her appetite became better, and it seemed that her emaciated condition did not continue to deteriorate. This was a good sign. She thought she would starve to death because she couldn't eat all the time. After all, man was iron and rice was steel. Fortunately, she had appetite to eat now.
Dora crouched down and looked at Sara with her big watery eyes. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Taking a look at Dora, Sara couldn't help asking, "Winnie, did Dora have dinner?"
Winnie raised her head and said loudly, "Yes, it did. Don't let it have any more, Sara"
Nodding her head, Sara said in a soft and playful tone, "Dora, Winnie said that you can't eat any more because you have already had dinner. Understand? "
Dora seemed to understand and shook her tail in an instant. It seemed that she was saying that I was hungry.
With a laugh, Sara said, "All right, I'll do it with you. Don't blame me if you get fat. Besides, you can't blame me if you get sick. "
Dora crouched on the ground and continued to wag her tail. Sara took a crayfish and put it on the ground. After two bites, Dora squatted on the ground and looked at Sara.
For the sake of the little girl's long body, Sara gave her a few more. At last, they ate up the whole plate of fried crayfish. With a smile, Sara said, "It seems that Dora has my style back then."
As if Dora was tired after eating and drinking, Dora went to her own kennel to sleep.
After dinner, Sara asked Winnie to clean up the table and then she went upstairs to her room.
Life still had its merits, but not everything was not bad. A smile appeared on the corner of Sara's mouth. Thinking of the lovely Dora and Winnie, she felt warm in her heart.
On the weekend, Sara gave herself a day off. Originally, she had to stay in the office and continue to work overtime. After all, the company was short of hands after the redundancy. But Carlos insisted that she go back and have a rest. Working day and night, Sara was not an iron woman.
It was not until 10 o'clock in the morning when Sara got up. When she got up, she found that there was no one in the hall. There was breakfast on the table, and Winnie left a note. "Remember to have breakfast, Mrs. Sara. I'm going to buy some food. ——Winnie. "
Glancing at the note, Sara felt warm in her heart. Dora wasn't there either. Perhaps she went out with Winnie to buy vegetables. Winnie should be very happy now. Wherever she went, Dora could accompany her.
Sara picked up the milk on the table and took a sip. The milk and egg were still warm. She began to eat carefully. It had been a long time since she had breakfast alone.
Although those who lived alone were lonely, they were free, weren't they? Therefore, there were many people who were willing to give up their companionship for freedom. In the past, Sara didn't understand why someone had made such a choice. Now, she realized that the most terrible thing was not that she had to live alone for the rest of her life, but that she still felt lonely when she was with the people around her. She had to live like this forever.
One was to choose by herself, and the other was choiceless. Sara felt it was ironic. An unspeakable irony.
Alice didn't go to the office today. Even if she stayed with Jacob as closely as his shadow, it was impossible for her not to have a rest. Moreover, she didn't have much work to do in the company, so she might as well have a rest at home. As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, she saw Sara having breakfast alone at the dining table downstairs.
Alice thought enemies were bound to meet in a narrow alley.
Sensing someone was looking at her, Sara couldn't help but look back. She saw that Alice was standing beside the handrail at the door of the bedroom on the second floor in pajamas and staring at her.
Sara didn't say anything. She didn't expect that Alice was also here. Every time the two got along alone, something bad would happen. Sara thought. There was indeed nothing good. Sara had thought that Alice would go back to her bedroom, but she didn't expect Alice to go straight downstairs. The footsteps were approaching. Hearing this, Sara felt a little scared.
This crazy woman wouldn't kill her to keep her mouth shut! This was Sara's first instinct, but on second thought, it was impossible. But she was still inexplicably nervous. She even slowed down her pace to have breakfast.
Alice went to the table, sat down and picked up a piece of bread to eat.
