Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 144

Jacob walked to the table. Before he could say anything, the man said, "Have a seat."

Jacob didn't feel embarrassed, but said naturally, "Sorry for keeping you wait."

Soon, the shop owner served a plate of peanuts, steamed pork and half kilo of liquor. Jacob looked at the dishes in front of him numbly and had no appetite. In fact, he had been thinking about the fact that Sara had rushed out, and he was not relieved yet.

"Just eat. Don't worry. There's no poison." The man in the peaked cap said in a hoarse but mature voice.

Jacob picked up the chopsticks and had a piece of meat. He felt that he had indeed met a legendary warrior. This man even spoke in a special style.

"How about the thing I asked you to investigate?" Jacob went straight to the point. Everyone would see his impatience.

"I've heard that you're experienced and patient. But as what I have seen today, you're just so-so." After saying that, the man burst into laughter. His laughter was so bold and unconstrained that it made people unable to be angry.

Jacob smiled. He always liked to be straightforward, but he didn't expect to be satirized this time. 'Well, forget it. Just take it as I found a master today.'

The two of them just drank a lot and ate much. After drinking a few glasses of liquor, Jacob felt that his body was extremely hot.

Then the thin man showed his achievement to Jacob. They chatted with each other until late in the afternoon. Then Jacob left with satisfaction.

There was always a kind of person who could make people feel like old friends at first sight. Jacob even had the idea of becoming sworn brothers with him. If it had been in ancient times, it would have been implemented directly. But now, Jacob laughed at himself for being so naive.

Walking out of the tavern, Jacob felt very happy. Maybe it was because they met in secret, the two of them walked away separately. Jacob went out first, and the man in peaked cap was still drinking and eating, looking like a hero in the classic novel.

Jacob quickly passed through the long corridor and saw a furtive person at the entrance. Jacob lit a cigarette. He hadn't tried Taekwondo for a long time and didn't know how it was going.

Fortunately, the man walked away as soon as he saw someone coming. Jacob let out a sigh of relief. He was right.

He took out his phone and called Alice. He had forgotten to go back to the villa to see his father on the weekend.

After dialing Alice's number, he heard her soft voice. This kind of voice used to be his aesthetic standard, but now it no longer was. It turned out that a man would love everything of a woman because he loved her the person, not that he would fall in love with a woman only after loving everything of her. Fortunately, Jacob understood it.

"Hello, Jacob. What's wrong?" Alice sat up straight and pressed her beating heart.

"Alice, I suddenly remember that I have something to deal with this weekend. So..." Jacob was interrupted by Alice before he could finish his sentence.

Alice said anxiously, "So, the weekend party is cancelled?" For a moment, she was a little depressed. Was it a joke?

Jacob took a puff on his cigarette and thought for a while. "No. I just want to advance the party to Friday. Do you have time?"

Alice was surprised and pleased, but she answered calmly, "If you are very busy, I can adjust the time. I actually have arrangement on Friday."

"Well, if you are busy, next week is okay for me." Jacob heard his footsteps' echo in the narrow alley and frowned.

"It doesn't matter. I'm not busy. It's more important to see you." Alice hurriedly said. She was afraid that Jacob would change his mind the next second. She was as uncomfortable as an ant on a hot pot now.
