Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 147

When Alice heard Jacob's introduction, her heart sank to the bottom the sea. Jacob said that she was his friend. After spending so many years with him in such a young age, he said that she was just his friend. Anyone who encountered such a thing had the reason to be heartbroken.

"Hello, Uncle James. Nice to meet you."

James nodded. He captured the expression on her face, but it was puzzling for him to see such a sad expression on Alice's face. After a minute, James seemed to understand everything in an instant.

The story of Jacob and his first girlfriend had always been spread in the elders in the family. Of course, everyone was very interested in the inheritor's girlfriend. Later, Jacob got married in a flash, and of course, Sara was not the legendary girlfriend. Then Alice standing in front of him would be her.

James observed Jacob's expression and couldn't capture the sign of the so-called triangle relationship. It could be seen from the admiration in Alice's eyes that she liked Jacob. As for Jacob, his admiration would only be shown when he saw Sara. Jacob's choice was already clear.

James nodded his head in silence. He would talk about this with Jacob during the dinner. He was afraid that new problems may arouse if he brought the problem forward now.

Moreover, James was never quite interested in commenting on other's love affairs. No one other that the people in love could tell their situation. It usually happened that people who thought themselves as reasonable bystanders finally became more of a hindrance than a help in a relationship. Thinking of this, James wore a smile on his face and talked to Alice, "Miss Alice, what's your job right now?" James's eyes revealed the wisdom of a smart man, but there was no aggressiveness in them. After all, the girl in front of him was also a poor person in the affection.

Alice was unwilling to admit herself outdone. She tried her best to pretend as if he was talking about the affair of someone else. "I'm running a jewelry store at present. I have to thank Jacob for his help on the jewelry store. "

James squinted his eyes and felt a little disgusted. Sometimes it just took several words from getting acquaintance with someone to knowing her. And just in that several words, you may feel unwilling to have contact with her anymore in your life. Alice was such a person. James sighed.

"Oh, I'm quite interested in jewelry stores. Over the years, I have traveled to many places and seen a lot of fresh people and things. But my love for jewelry had never changed. " James tantalized her, but showed no trace of doing that.

At this time, Jacob stood up and said to James and Alice, "Let's start the meal first and talk while eating."

Alice nodded. She found that she was here not for dinner, but for questioning. But it didn't matter as long as Jacob was happy.

"Okay." Alice stood up and looked at James with a smile.

The three of them came to the table in the kitchen. Jacob said to Alice, "I know you like strong favors, so I asked Winnie to add more salt than usual. I'm fine with that. What about Uncle James? "

James shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter. Everything should be based on the needs of the guests. I can eat anything."

Hearing this, Alice felt nervous. Her impression in the mind of James was greatly lowered. With a fake smile, she said, "Since I knew that too much salt is not good for my health, I have rarely eaten salt anymore."

Jacob frowned and didn't know how to answer. Alice found that she had said something wrong again, and the atmosphere was a little subtle. Alice turned to James and said, "Uncle, what do you want to know about the jewelry store? What about the most precious treasure in the store?"

James scooped a bowl of soup and took a sip. He raised her eyes and said in surprise, "Oh, tell me, what's the most precious treasure in the shop?"
