Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 344

Carlos was right. After all, it would not be right to live together if they didn't officiate the marriage again.

Sara couldn't help but let out a chuckle as she observed Jacob being embarrassed. Never in her life did she expect that something like this would happen to him. Although Jacob hesitated for a moment there, he had no choice but to go along with it.

Carlos went back to his room, but he left the door half closed. Meanwhile, both of them were left trying to figure out if he did it on purpose or not.

"Are you upset about what my father said?" She was still keeping her laughter from bursting out as she continued to observe his reactions.

"No, I don't really mind." Contrary to what he was trying to say, his face was clearly blushing. He paused midway as he tried to open his mouth to say something in addition to his reply. However, she noticed this until she finally couldn't hide her laughter.

She turned around and went straight to the guest room as soon as she settled down from giggling uncontrollably.

"What my father said was right, though. We haven't remarried yet, so it would be inappropriate for us to live together. Otherwise, what would others say? We can't risk it. Aside from that, it would also affect my father's reputation."

Her face wore a worried expression as she took a glance at him. Such preposterous things were clearly excuses. She just wanted to use her father's words to prove that they should have a convincing reason before they could commit to each other. Otherwise, there would be consequences.

"I know, Sara. You don't have to explain those to me. You go ahead. I'll clean up the table for you." Jacob stood up and began to wipe the table. She immediately left without saying a word in return.

Meanwhile, Carlos finally closed the door fully. He had seen what just happened. That confirmed that Jacob indeed grew up a lot, and that he was almost a stranger from his former self.

A smile arched up at the corners of his lips. His goal today was to teach Jacob a lesson the best way he could, and he succeeded. Other than that, he had no intention of interfering with the young couple's life.

While Sara was busy cleaning up the room for Jacob, she couldn't help but smile. She was pretty excited to find out his reaction upon seeing that the bedroom was too feminine in design.

She clapped her hands as soon as she finished, and went straight out of the room to go to the kitchen. To her surprise, she saw Jacob busy washing the dishes. She never once saw him do any sort of household chores before, and now he was casually washing the dishes like it was no big deal.

She stayed silent, but deep inside, she was moved by his little gesture. She walked from behind to intercept, and took the bowl out of his hands.

"Let me do this. Your stomach is still aching after that drinking, right? Go and get some rest in the sofa. Or you can have a seat in the room, and just call me when you need anything," she confidently said.

Her face was red and her heart was rapidly pounding. That was quite a strange thing. It wasn't a big deal to anyone, but small things could sometimes touch people's hearts.

The idea alone that he was clearly showing his affection for her made her feel that she was the happiest woman in the world.

There wasn't a lot of men in modern society that would think about their wives so affectionately. As long as a man was willing to think about his wife, that alone would make the woman feel appreciated.

She kept smiling as the blush remained on her face.

"Are you okay, Sara? You don't look very well." He turned his head to catch another glimpse of her. He slowly formed a smug, but attractive look on his face.

She responded with her own gaze locked at him. She squinted so as to express her confusion. "No. What's with that question all of sudden? Do I look bad?"

"You blushed so I thought you might have a fever. Are you okay? Or are you just moved?" He placed the bowl down and moved to close in on her.

"Humph! Moved? No way! I just think that you shouldn't do these things! You just tried to wash the dishes and now you're so full of yourself." She walked away after lashing out as a defense mechanism.

He proceeded to finish washing the dishes, then he wiped his hands dry. As he was doing so, he couldn't help but take a peek at the living room. As he expected, Sara was there indulging herself into watching the TV as she leaned to the comfort of the sofa. He wasn't sure if Carlos was simply in a bad mood or if he intentionally left to give both of them a private time for themselves.

Either way, he was grateful for his father-in-law. Although Jacob thought that he might still be dissatisfied with him, all the gestures he received from him got him to the impression that he had already forgiven him from the bottom of his heart.

It was easy to earn his trust for the first time, but it was difficult to regain it. Jacob walked up to Sara and rested his hand on her arm.

"Honey, do we need to check the guest room?" He leaned over and gently whispered in her ear. She pretended to be calm about it, and slowly stood up.

He proceeded to grab her hand, and the two walked straight into the bedroom.

It wasn't long after they just passed the door when he pushed her further into the room and gently kissed her lips. This time, she was doing pretty well.
