Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 243

Everything had become mysteries, but today's party had to remind people of their previous sentimental relationship. The end of reunion after long time of separation always make people feel sadder.

Sara really wanted to go up and hug Jacob, but she couldn't break the atmosphere at this moment. So she just sat aside and watched him proposing toasts to each of them.

Sometimes when a group of people were gathering together, everyone would feel that there was still a lot of time left for them to spend together. But before long, they would understood that no feast would last forever.

Time might be endless, but everyone's life was limited. The number of people one could know in his or her limited life was naturally limited. That's why everyone was so sad.

The heroic words had been broken by the reality. One may wanted to conquer the world at the age, but he or she are more likely to indulge him or herself in mediocre life. Those who were determined to guide the society ended up as a gear in the huge machine of the society.

All these dreams finally became bubbles that burst silently. And almost everyone had known and accepted this fact. However, it's already lucky for them to see those who had been bragged with them. After all, they had been chasing their unrealistic dreams together before.

Sean sat dejectedly in the corner of the room. He might be the one who had the least words at the party. His ideal had already been shattered by the reality. Even if he was still a warm-hearted person, his original passion was no longer there.

He was also the most confused person among all the people present. The reality can be a harsh educator sometimes. Under its education, Sean was no longer that talkative person anymore.

Sara had already noticed that Sean was sitting alone in the corner. Everyone was talking happily, making his solitude even more miserable.

Sara sat next to Sean, who was like an onlooker of the scene.

With a glass of wine in her hand, Sara came close to Sean, only then did Sean noticed her.

"Sara." He seemed a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone would notice him. Of course, the fewer people noticing him, the better the situation would be.

"Well, why are you sitting here alone? Don't you want to talk to your classmates?" There was no emotion in Sara's voice. She sounded neither enthusiastic nor cold, more like stating an objective fact.

"Jollification was theirs." Sean lowered his head. His expression was vague in the dim light.

"And you have nothing?" Sara was confused. This sentence was so familiar, but she couldn't remember where it came from.

"Ha ha, you are so humorous." Sean let out a hollow laugh. Although he didn't have much communication with his classmates, he was not regret coming to the party. But as a top student in his class, he still unwilling to admit his failure to his classmates.

In fact, he was not a loser. He was just on the way to become a successful person. Sean glanced at Sara and began to talk with Sara.

"I used to be a straight-A student, but now I'm not doing well in the society." It seemed that Sean had never admitted this in front of others. Even if no one would make comparisons of their living standards before classmates, there were always people who would compare it secretly.

And in Sean's mind, as a loser, he was unwilling to accept such comparisons. So he said almost nothing in the party.

"How poor are you now?" Shaking the glass in her hand, Sara thought it was really improper if she don't drink any wine in such situation.

"Worse than most people, I think. I was fired by the company and opened a small bar. It made me understand that sometimes hard work is not enough to make me successful. " A trace of sadness flashed through Sean's eyes.

Perhaps someone could understand the feeling of Sean after what had happened to him. But more people would simply see him as a loser. Sean didn't want to take the risk of been despised. So he didn't want others to know his situation even if they might understand him.

"At least you have a bar, right?" After thinking about what had happened to herself, Sara didn't think she was really unfortunate. How could Sean be so pessimistic?

"But..." Sean hesitated for a while and didn't continue. Maybe he was just trying to keep his last dignity

"But what?" Looking at Sean in confusion, Sara wondered what kind of monster life was that could make such a man retreat.
