"I bought you a diamond ring. I promised to buy one for you before." Jacob seemed a little impatient.
Sara's heart beat faster. Her mood was easy be affected by Jacob.
Sara, who was pretending to be calm, said in a seemingly calm tone, but all the uneasiness had been hidden in her eyes.
"No, thanks. I'm already his ex-wife.". As Sara spoke, her heart ached again.
"Since I promised you to buy one, just take it. Don't think too much. It's just because I said it before. Jacob raised his voice. He didn't expect that Sara would reject it.
Sara was stunned. She lost her mind for a moment.
Love spread in her heart, but she couldn't let it go.
The reason why she stopped bothering Jacob was that she didn't want him to know what she was thinking. She took the ring box, but she didn't put it on. Let it be a souvenir, one could prove Jacob had been in her life. He would never belong to herself again.
Wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, Sara went back to her room with her head held high. Since they divorced, she and Jacob had slept in separate rooms.
Everyone was willing to believe that a couple even divorced, they would still have kindness to each other, but no one said that they were birds of the same feather.
Jacob's heart softened when he saw Sara take the ring. There was a trace of unspeakable feeling, and there was no need to mention it. Accepting meant forgiveness. Or she didn't complain him at all? Even he himself was surprised by the atmosphere today. It was not as tense as before, as if they had returned to the past after a sleep.
But Alice she came back, she was no longer what she used to be.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Sara had to think about what to do with her future life. The marriage had broken down, and Jacob had made up his mind not to abandon her. The existence of Alice greatly reduced the prestige of Sara in Jacob's heart. The one who could take away was not the real lover.
Putting the headset on, Sara, who hadn't listened to music for a long time, heard the music slowly. It was just a casual song. Someone said that sad people shouldn't listen to music.
The lyrics slowly revealed Sara's unspoken feelings.
If I hadn't met you, where would I have been.
How was life? Should we cherish our life?
Maybe he knew someone and lived an ordinary life.
He didn't know if there would be love as sweet as honey.
As time goes by, I only care about you...
Sara gently pressed the loop playback key. It was not the music, but the sadness in her heart.
The music suddenly paused. Sara noticed a new text message.
"I'll take you to the farm for relaxation this weekend. If you refuse me, you are not take me as your friend. "It's from Bess.
Seeing that, Sara couldn't help laughing. Needless to guess, it was Bess.
"Yes, madam." Sara replied in brief.
The corners of Sara's mouth lifted into a bright but sad smile.
She was so lucky to have such a good friend. If it weren't for Bess, how could she survive this difficulty?
Sara began to hate herself for being indecisive and depressed. She underestimated the destructive power of Jacob. She didn't know that the most painful thing was invisible.
Since Jacob answered Thompson's phone call last time, Thompson had never contacted Sara again. Men are really impatient, both Jacob and Thompson. It was not because Sara enjoyed being held in the palm of so many people, but because she lacked a person who was willing to take care of her all the time.
After struggling for a long time, Sara finally fell asleep. Only by being the dream could she relieve the pain.
