Bess was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Jacob this time. It's reasonable for her to call Jacob. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Sara who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Jacob, Noah would have other thoughts.
If Jacob was also invited, would Sara feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion.
Bess thought for a while and decided to ask for Sara's opinion. After all, Sara was the key to the problem, and Bess naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Sara was unhappy, she might not be in the mood to meet Noah's parents.
Bess got out of her phone and found the WeChat No. of Sara. She quickly sent a message to her.
Bess: Sara, let me ask you something.
Sara: What's up? Go straight.
Bess was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was friendship or love, a prompt reply would make people feel extremely safe.
Bess: Don't be angry, Sara. Swear to me.
Taking a deep breath. What had happened to Bess? Sara thought, pouting.
Sara: Okay, okay, go ahead. I won't be angry.
Bess: I wanted to invite Jacob to the meeting on this Wednesday. Do you have any problem with that?
As a smart woman, Sara knew what Bess meant. But she wanted to make fun of Bess and see her reaction.
Sara: Yes, I have problem with that. I won't go if Jacob would be there.
Looking at the message from Sara, Bess was worried. She didn't expect that the two of them had such a deep grudge. It was true that hatred originates from love.
Bess replied without hesitation. In her heart, Sara was definitely more important that Jacob. No matter Noah had a problem with it or not, she would insist on pleasing Sara.
Bess: Okay. I won't inform Jacob then. After all, in my heart, you must be more important than him.
Looking at the message sent by Bess, Sara laughed out. This silly girl took it seriously. No matter how much she hated Jacob, she still knew that she should set store by overall interests.
"You silly girl. Noah must hope Jacob be there as well. How can I affect you? Of course I would sacrifice myself to make your meeting perfect. You can call him if you want. I have no objection.
Looking at the message from Sara, Bess felt quite happy.
Bess: Kiss you. I know you love me, and I love you too. See you on Wednesday.
Looking at the kissing expression sent by Bess, a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of Sara's mouth.
Anyway, Jacob had promised to let her go. She won't be so narrow-minded as to avoid seeing Jacob. Moreover, in the haze, there was always a force pulling her to get in touch with that man. Even if they had divorced, no one could change the fact that they had been married.
If a man in a marriage was like a pool, and a woman was like a fish. Then, whether it was a pool of dirty water or a clear spring, the fish would never forget where it lived.
So today was obviously a test for Noah.
After parking the car, Sara was led into the villa by the housekeeper. Soon, Sara appeared in front of everyone. Even on this occasion, she was still a shining role.
She had unparalleled manner and deportment, but didn't steal the limelight of Bess. Feeling satisfied, Bess stood up and introduced, "This is my best friend, Sara."
The parents of both sides glanced at Sara. Bess's parents had an impression of her, but Noah's parents didn't know much about her.
Seeing his parents were puzzled, Noah sat aside and whispered in his father's ear, "She is Jacob's ex-wife."
Mr. Mu was suddenly enlightened and knew everything in an instant. That would be appropriate. They were good friends of both sides, but unfortunately, they divorced and became a negative example for Bess and Noah.
Jacob sat aside indifferently and said nothing. This was the freedom he gave to Sara. He didn't care about her, nor did he quarrel with her.
Obviously, Sara attended the dinner as a member of the friends of the bride's side. They could have gone to a big hotel outside for dinner, but Bess's mother insisted that she should stay at home. She had a feeling that she couldn't control the situation when she went to the hotel. She didn't like it.
Glancing at the parents of both sides, Sara found that she shouldn't have come to such a situation, but at the strong request of Bess, she had no choice but to come. After greeting, she sat down next to Bess.
The atmosphere was a little subtle. It should have been embarrassing as there were outsiders present, but the atmosphere was surprisingly good. After drinking several glasses of wine at table, Bess's father, John started to be talkative
"Noah, I want to hear about your future plan. After all, marriage is not a trivial matter. From small scale, it was two people living together. From large scale, it was a connection between the two families. Marriage is a kind of positive relationship. Anyway, it should be positive for both sides. " John said confidently. He didn't think it was appropriate to be too straightforward on this occasion.
