Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 333

James spoke lightly, but his heart was incomparably calmer. Everyone has the right to choose the way they want to live. Jacob was not an exception to that. There was no need for him to make any sacrifices just because he was the heir to the Shi Group.

Perhaps one had to make a sacrifice for the sake of their family business, but James would never ask Jacob for it. After all, he would do everything as long as he knew his desires and was positive in life.

"Thank you, Uncle. Don't worry, I promise to follow my heart and try my best to deal with the company's affairs." Jacob finally loosened his grip and returned to his usual indifferent look.

"When will you remarry Sara? If you have time, you should go see your mother-in-law often, so your father-in-law will have a better impression of you."

James coughed a bit after he spoke. Truth be told, he had always cared about Jacob's happiness, even if he did not speak of it.

He treated Jacob like his own son. Jacob had always been such an excellent man, and James was grateful for it. It was a good thing to have him in his life.

With his back leaning against the chair, Jacob gave a dream-like smile and answered, "I know, Uncle. I can't wait to marry her again. But for some reason, I feel that it's not the right time yet. I've mentioned this to Sara, and she feels the same way too. It's just a ceremony anyway. It probably won't even affect our relationship."

James nodded in agreement and replied, "That may be the case, but just to be sure, I think that you should still remarry her. If you don't, she won't be your wife. I'm afraid that somebody will know and gossip about it. I'm sure you won't let that happen. You were very sorry for Sara before, weren't you?"

"Yes, I was. I've done a lot of horrible things, and that's what I'm most worried about. But it should be fine. Sara will understand. If she doesn't forgive me, I'm going to ask for her forgiveness for the rest of my life anyway."

Jacob smiled, but his smile was lonely and desolate. He should not have said those things that would only make James sad.

Nevertheless, Jacob felt that that topic was not something he could avoid.

"Cherish her then. Some people think that love comes many times. They're wrong. True love only comes once in a lifetime. No matter how many people they meet, it's not love if it is not with the person they're destined to be with."

James sighed upon hearing what he had said. Jacob had really grown.

"I know. Thank you for reminding me, Uncle. I appreciate it. Anyway, I'd like to talk with you about Cindy." Jacob frowned. Only he and James knew about what had happened.

"What's wrong with her?" James' eyes narrowed slightly, and the wrinkles on his face showed themselves, especially the ones at the corners of his eyes. He looked as if he aged ten years in an instant.

"Well, I can see that she feels very guilty about the file. She works harder than she used to. I've been considering if I should tell her the truth or not. I'm very conflicted."

Jacob propped his hand on the desk as he pondered for a while. It seemed a risky move if he told her about the matter. He could not take that big of a risk.

"Forget it. Just stay silent. No matter how guilty Cindy is, it's her own choice. It's not your fault. Of course, you can give her some comfort at work, but that's all. You don't have to tell her."

James' face darkened. If Jacob told her, he would be at a disadvantage. The best solution was not to tell Cindy. They could never let her know about it.

"I know, Uncle. I think so too. I just feel that I've done something wrong. On second thought, right and wrong are not absolute. I'm just cautious. I don't want to deceive anyone, much less lie, on purpose."

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and tapped the table with his fingers. James looked at him and smiled reassuringly.

"Well, if you don't need anything else, I'll go first. Remember, don't be impulsive. If you have anything in mind, just call me. As long as I'm here, I'll always do my best to help you."

James clutched his hand into a fist and gently tapped it on his chest. It was a gesture of reassurance for Jacob.

The latter bowed his head in response. As he did so, tears welled up in his eyes.

A family must always be willing to help their members unconditionally. But sometimes, they do not help each other even in the face of a crisis.

Therefore, Jacob was lucky that he could traverse on such a road and meet such a dependable person like James during his life's journey.
