She had never said that she wanted to leave him personally before. Now, she seemed to begin to plan for herself.
They kept silent all the way, as if one more word meant one more mistake.
Some people said that love was a waste of energy. At the beginning, it may make you full of enthusiasm, create the illusion that you have endless energy. Then, as the enthusiasm was running out, it's highly possible for you to be disappointed and felt that the other part in the relationship was below your expectation.
Most people had gone through such a period, and Sara was no exception. Women were especially fond of accumulating disappointment. If the disappointment reached a line, it would be hard to continue the relationship.
The long silence made the two in the car feel that the road was endless.
But no matter how long the road was, they would finally came to an end.
From afar, Jacob saw Carlos waiting downstairs expressionlessly.
As soon as the car stopped there, Carlos rushed up and gave Jacob a punch. Jacob stumbled and fell to the ground. Bloody smell began to spread from the corner of his mouth
"Listen. I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Carlos looked sullen. His clenched fist stopped in the air. After waiting downstairs for a long time, his hands had already been frozen.
Jacob stood up, without any emotion in his heart. He had long wanted someone to wake him up.
"The punch just now was for my daughter. This punch is for myself. " Carlos rushed up and punched Jacob to the ground again.
Sara stood aside and turned her head around. She knew that Jacob would not fight back. She also knew that her father had suppressed his anger for so long and needed to vent it.
So she stood still and didn't say anything.
Jacob felt his face burning. He knew he deserved it. So when he stood up again, he just wiped his mouth, as if nothing had happened.
"Jacob, you can leave now. I don't want to see you again, so does Sara. Please stay away from us from now on. If you still want to keep some dignity, please don't disturb us. " Sara's father squinted his eyes. He finally had the chance to break up with Jacob face to face.
"Father in law I... "Jacob looked calm, as if what had just happened was insignificant.
"Don't called me that anymore. Jacob, let me tell you, there are many things in the world that can't be bought with money. Can you buy your dream with money? Can you buy love with money? " Carlos looked askance at Jacob and pulled Sara behind him. From now on, he would never let his daughter get hurt again.
Hearing father's words, Sara felt sad. It turned out that her father was the one who knew her best. But he never said anything.
Jacob was also stunned. Looking at his father's big body, he was a little absent-minded.
He had never thought that he could buy everything with money, he…
"I just hope you can forgive me. I will make up for what I have done." Jacob's eyes were bright and his tone was firm.
A gust of wind blew, and a chill seeped into his body. The mist sprayed out when speaking made each other look hazy.
Carlos stood there, with his hands clasped behind back. Behind him, Sara lowered her head, lost in thought.
"Not everything will be forgiven. You can leave now." Carlos didn't want to argue anymore. He had never thought that Jacob was superior to him. He even felt that he couldn't bear to look straight into Jacob's childish eyes.
How mature could a man be if he always bully others with his power and wealth?
"I hope you can give me another chance to take good care of Sara. I promise I won't behave like before anymore. " Jacob wiped his face, but his face was still burning.
Carlos cast a sidelong glance at Jacob and said, "I don't have decision on this. You may pray to god. Let's go home, Sara. "
After saying that, Sara turned around and walked forward. She felt a mixture of relief and sadness. It turned out that her father had always understood her and knew how suffering she was.
Jacob froze there. He had never thought that what he had done would leave such a deep wound for others.
The wind continued to blow. It was winter in the north. Jacob's hand was already frozen stiff. He took out a cigarette from his pocket.
People with a craving for tobacco usually had too much annoyances
Jacob took out a cigarette box and took out a cigarette. Jacob bowed over, put his hands to the mouth and lit up the cigarette. Sara had once said that she didn't like him to smoke the most. But now, he just couldn't control himself from smoking.
