Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 274

"Cheers! Let's celebrate our reunion today!" Sara jeered with utmost enthusiasm. Her excitement was evidently flowing in her beautiful face. Now that Jacob and Bess were with her, she couldn't ask for anything more.

Nothing felt better than having all the important people in her life together.

"What's your plan after your marriage?" Jacob asked, taking a sip from his glass and recollecting the flavour of the juice.

"Well, I don't know yet. We are planning to merge the two companies, but Bess doesn't want to be a housewife. So, we can't make any final decisions yet."

Noah frowned, remembering how stressful it was for him to deal with Bess. But the most difficult part was persuading his parents-in-law to agree with the merger.

"Can Bess really work in the company as the vice president? Wouldn't she just hang around you and not do any work? I'm sure you remember when someone brought his girlfriend to the company before. Am I right, Jacob? "

While stuffing her mouth with boiled quail eggs, Sara shot her brows high and maliciously gazed at Jacob.

Shocked of being accused, the latter asked himself, 'Why is she bringing this up now?'

However, he just dismissed that thought instantly and responded, "It's actually more convenient to have Bess work in the office with you. That way, you can spend more time together even while working."

"That's a good idea. But you know Bess. She can be so emulative. Perhaps I'll take the vice presidency," Noah uttered, strangely feeling excited and helpless at the same time. His parents would never allow him to step down and be the vice president. And as early as now, he could already imagine how they would badger his parents-in-law about it.

Meanwhile, Bess, who had been eating quietly, suddenly said, "I think it's good for us to work in separate companies. Besides, they are a family business. Even if I get married to you, I can still work in my family's company."

Hearing this, Noah instantly settled down his chopsticks, thinking of explaining his side. "Look, Bess. I know that family is important to you. But if we get married, aren't I gonna be your family too? But if you really insist, then that's fine."

Noticing that the atmosphere suddenly turned dour, Sara winked at Jacob, who immediately mediated between Noah and Bess.

"I think Bess is right. She just really respects her parents; that's why she wanted to help with their family business. Besides, her dowry is much more than enough. What else do you worry about, Noah? Why do you care about other people's companies? "

Jacob explained seriously, indicating that Noah should make a concession. 'Why is Noah fighting Bess on this? Does he want to get punished when they get home?' the former asked himself in confusion.

"I'm not coveting or planning to take over her company. I just hope that Bess can stay with me all the time," Noah explained in a hurry.

The way he talked fast showcased how defensive he was right now.

Seeing this, Jacob couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect that such a small thing could make Noah so frantic.

Meanwhile, Bess suddenly stopped eating even though she was only halfway through boning her chicken.

"Well, why didn't you tell me earlier? But even then, I don't care what position I'll have. I can be the vice president if you want," Bess assured with a sunny smile that climbed up to her eyes. The two seemed to be showing off how much they loved each other.

"You're a model couple. How come you two fight over such a trivial matter?" Sarah shook her head in disbelief.

"Don't say that. It's impossible for couples not to have disagreements," Bess answered after turning to her friend.

"Hey, Noah, what have you done to piss Bess off recently? Aren't you afraid that she will back out of the marriage?"

Sara was obviously trying to threaten Noah, but the man just laughed it off.

'I would scare Bess? Yeah, right. Like there is any way I'd let her call off our wedding, ' he thought.

"No, Bess is mine and only mine." Noah fixed his eyes on his bride-to-be, who blushed out of embarrassment.

"I know, so we should get married as soon as possible." Bess blushed and lowered her head to continue rummaging her chicken.

"Is the wedding date set?" Raising his head, Jacob suddenly butted in.

"Yes, it's on the children's day. We believe it's the perfect day for us to get married. You know, so we can maintain a childlike innocence," Noah explained.
