Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 2

There was a hint of jealousy in both of their eyes.

Seeing Jacob step closer, Sara found herself unable to move. The closer he got, the greater the pain Sara felt.

Maybe it was because she didn't really want to leave. She didn't know why she still loved him or what else he deserved her love.

Ethan patted her shoulder worriedly and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong, Sara? Are you okay?"

Following her gaze, he saw Jacob approach them as he held onto the other woman's hand. Seeing this, Ethan's eyes flashed with disgust.

Jacob looked back and forth from Sara to Ethan. Anger boiled up inside of him. "Sara, do you think it's appropriate for you to go shopping with this man? Don't forget that we haven't officially divorced yet," Jacob said sarcastically with a bitter smile. Then, he shot a cold and harsh look at Ethan as he emphasized his last four words.

Clenching his fists, Ethan frowned and instinctively put Sara behind him to protect her.

However, regardless of Jacob's scornful eyes, Sara looked at him with the same amount of coldness. "But it's already inevitable that we're going to get divorced no matter what happens. Besides, it's none of your business with whom I go shopping with."

Even though she said this to Jacob, it was as if she was saying this to herself, as if to remind herself that it was over between them.

The woman next to Jacob coughed and looked at Sara frivolously. She held Jacob's hand tighter and looked at him with a pure and pitiful smile.

"That's true. But don't forget that it's not formally over yet. You're still married to me," Jacob said through gritted teeth.

Everyone was stunned by his words. Even Jacob was surprised in himself as he didn't expect he would say something like that, as if he loved her.

Frowning deeper, he shook his head and sighed.

"I mean we haven't divorced. You are still my wife and whatever you do in public still reflects on me. You should think things through first for the time being," he explained.

'What on earth is he saying?' Sara wondered. 'That's ridiculous! It's like he's saying that I'm having an affair even though I just went out shopping with a friend!

Isn't he the one who appears to be having an affair?'

Her grievance, humiliation and stubbornness surged out from the bottom of her heart. Lifting her head slightly, Sara raised her eyebrows at him. "Jacob, just so you know, I have done nothing to disgrace the Shi clan and I never will. Not before, and definitely not now."

After saying that, she suddenly burst into laughter. The smiling curve at the corners of her mouth was intoxicating, but her tone was contemptuous. "Besides, don't you think you're the one who needs to behave?" she added, throwing a sharp look at the woman beside him.

Jacob narrowed his eyes at her, his gaze like ice. After being together with him for so long, Sara knew that he was enraged with what she had just said.

Even though he was six feet tall, making her half a foot shorter than he was, Sara kept her ground and didn't faze. Because of this, Jacob couldn't help but be taken aback.

Sara then turned her head slightly to look at Ethan, and saw that he was smiling warmly at her, as if to say that he had her back.

Seeing this scene, Jacob couldn't help but sneer, "Are you telling me that you are not disgracing the Shi clan with this behavior?"

Although his breath was steady, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

"Huh? Even if you think this is disgraceful behavior, don't you think you're also in the same position?" Sara retorted as she pursed her lips, casting a sidelong glance at the other woman.
