Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 317

"Speak up! Are you dumb?! You have shown lots of guts by stealing the document! What happened to you now?" Cindy snorted angrily and collapsed on the sofa, the knife still in her hand.

Once she sat down, she maniacally waved the knife she was holding.

Watching the spectacle, Jacob realized she was much more aggressive than he had anticipated. 'Could this perhaps be the reason why Kim looks so overwhelmed?' he wondered.

Jacob squinted his eyes and gazed at him, attempting to read the thoughts that were going on in his mind.

However, he failed to read any emotions in Kim's eyes. He looked pale, but that was all about it.

James coughed slightly, indicating Jacob to dispel the eerie silence.

"Did you do it?" Jacob cleared his throat and asked.

"Yes, I did it," Kim replied instantly and bowed his head, not wanting to face anyone present there. A guilty person often had nothing to say.

They could tell Kim wouldn't put a fight. He knew it was too late.

"Do you have any idea about the extent of damage your actions will cause Cindy and the company?" Jacob demanded, his voice rising a notch due to anger.

Kim trembled slightly, but he still had nothing to say.

Listening to Jacob's words, Cindy's face was filled with gratitude.

When a woman gave birth to a child, the husband normally asked about the wife's well-being. Once he was assured she was fine, he would ask about the child.

This was quite a different situation. But Cindy felt similar happiness when she saw how concerned Jacob seemed.

"I am aware. I will apologize and accept the punishment I am bound to receive," Kim replied finally, dejection evident in his voice.

"Apologize? Are you serious? Do you think your apology will solve the issue? Do you think your apology is of any value? Had I jumped into the river and died, would you still sit here with your stupid apology? I am such an idiot to have fallen so madly in love with you!"

Cindy exclaimed, still waving the knife in her hand. Her rage had reached its peak.

Jacob wanted to stop her. But on second thought, he realized it was best for her to vent all her emotions. If she kept them suppressed, her frustration would only increase.

James intently watched the scene unfolding before him. He could see regret and guilt starkly written on Kim's face.

But Cindy was right. He had done a terrible thing. His apology wasn't enough. After all, that wouldn't undo the harm that had been done.

"Cindy, can we talk about this later? I cannot change what I have done. There is no point in forcing me," Kim said in a low voice.

"Force you? What are you even saying? None of it makes any sense, Kim! I said I wanted to get married! It was a request, not a threat! And you have the audacity to say that I forced you? How the hell is that considered forcing? Did I also force you to steal the document? Why are you shoving all the blame on me! It's not like you had no choice. This is all your fault. And now, you aren't even owning it up!"

Cindy was starting to lose it. Kim's words had made her maddeningly angry.

"Cindy, if you stop behaving like this, we can move on. You tire me with your daily reprimands. Do you have any idea how much I suffer? Every day, I get scared, thinking you are going to call me useless. I don't think I can take it anymore,"

Kim admitted, his red eyes gazing at Cindy.
