"That's what fate is like. Given one more chance, I won't change my original choice. One's character determines his or her fate. She likes peace, and I like wandering. She likes quietness, and I like noise. She likes hot food, but I like ice. "
"So, you two are not suitable for each other?"
"No, it's not that we are not suitable for each other, we just didn't really know each other. We didn't manage to understand each other. In a relationship, even if one party didn't understand the other party, the consequences would be very serious. We can either separate or torture each other. "
By the time James finished his words, he had regained his composure and felt much better. As he had spoken out all these, he felt much better. But it would take Jacob a while to digest all the information and felt sorry for him.
"There are some people in our life who would never be with us once we have missed." James said with emotion. The life could be too long without a mate. It mad James felt that the road of life was endless and he would never find his home.
How could a person who didn't even have a home. There was only endless silence surrounding him.
"Uncle." Jacob called James in a daze.
"What?" James replied in confusion.
"Why are people's feelings so fragile yet so unbreakable?" Like a child, Jacob asked.
"Because this is human nature." James sighed heavily. Jacob was just the same as him when he was young. He couldn't want to see Jacob to follow his way.
"How did she die?" Jacob raised his head, feeling confused.
"I'll tell you when it's over. I will tell you everything. " James stepped hard on the accelerator, and the car was speeding up. The top priority now was the explosion crisis that the company was facing.
It was not appropriate to talk much about such private matters at such a critical moment.
Jacob nodded. But he felt that James had missed something. The truth might not be that simple. Perhaps what uncle said today was just the tip of the iceberg.
Jacob felt tired. He squinted his eyes and leaned against the seat. Soon, the car returned home.
Jacob felt exhausted and had a runny nose all the time. He hadn't caught a cold for a long time. It seemed that he had caught a serious cold this time.
It was said that when a person reached his or her middle age, there would be a midlife crisis. People of this age would be bothered by their parents, their children as well as their work and colleagues. However, Jacob was not yet reached his middle age. He also met such crisis, which was quite serious.
There were all kinds of internal strife and external strife striking him. Jacob was lying on the sofa and sneezed all the time.
James was worried about his situation, "Jacob, do you need to go to the hospital?"
Jacob stared at the ceiling in a daze. Does he have time to see a doctor now? He didn't think so.
"No, thanks. I'll take some medicine later. It's not a big deal for me. " Jacob replied.
"Well, then you can go to bed after dinner. No matter what happens, I will be there." James comforted.
Jacob was smart, diligent and respectful, but he was a little indifferent. But people knew Jacob would understand why he was so indifferent.
James knew Jacob quite well. So he forgave him of his indifference. Moreover, he felt pity for him.
