Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 346

"He's awake, Dad. We're coming." Sara pushed Jacob and pretended to be angry with him.

Jacob realized his mistake and decided to apologize. He said remorsefully, "Well, I'm sorry! Okay, fine. Get up quickly."

Covering her face, she didn't reply him. Then, he stood up and reached out his hand to pull her up. Although Sara sat up, she still pouted her lips.

Her lips were rosy and full. At the sight of this, Jacob felt like laughing. But he didn't dare.

"Darling, don't get angry. You don't look good when you are angry." He persuaded her, "Get up, honey. Dad can get here any time soon. And he might misunderstand..."

Sara was really annoyed by his words. "What? Are you trying to avoid your responsibility now? Where did you go just now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up to leave. Immediately, Jacob rushed and hugged her from behind. Whispering into her ear, he asked, "Are you really annoyed?"

Although Sara didn't respond, Jacob knew that she wasn't in a good mood. This was because she was frowning. Then he muttered, "Okay, it's alright. Let's go out. These days, why do you get angry so easily?"

Looking at him with displeasure, Sara stepped on his foot and screamed, "Yes. I am always angry, okay? What? Are you already tired of me?"

Jacob embraced her more tightly and said, "No, I wouldn't dare. But I will show you how genuine I am tonight."

Sara blushed immediately she heard this. Then she said, "You shameless man!"

"Oh! What are you thinking about? I meant that I would be busy in daytime and could only handle these family affairs at night. Look at you! You are so naughty!"

Jacob said as he released her from his embrace.

"Stop talking nonsense. How am I naughty? You are really..." Sara faked calmness as she walked towards the door and opened it.

When she opened the door, her father was already standing on the other side. "It is already time for breakfast. Hurry up or you both would be late for work,"

Carlos said with his head lowered. He didn't bother to look at both of them. Actually, he didn't want to disturb them. But he was just worried that they would forget to get up for work. After all, they were a young and energetic couple. And he perfectly understood that.

Therefore, he could only make suggestions and not force them. They were two young adults and they had their rights.

For breakfast, Carlos had some delicious milk and sandwiches. Indeed, Sara had improved on some skills in the past few years. One of such skills was cooking.

Although Carlos didn't know how she had performed in Jacob's house, he was delighted that her culinary skills had improved.

Jacob also had breakfast with them. Afterwards, Sara and Jacob left for work.

Carlos had already handed over the company to Sara. And he never wanted to go back to there. Whenever he thought about the company, he felt sad. Previously, the only reason why he had gone back was because of Tasha. However, there was no point going there because she was already dead.

Now, there was nothing stopping him from doing what he always wanted to do for half his life. Carlos wanted to plant some flowers at home. And maybe, visit the park to play chess with the elderly men occasionally.

He was old now, so it was only right that he stepped down and gave the young ones a chance to perform. Nonetheless, he didn't want to admit that he was old. Carlos still felt like he had just married Tasha yesterday.

And today, Tasha had passed away. Indeed, time flies and waits for no man. It could be likened to a flowing river. Deep down in his heart, he hoped that life would bring him more happiness and less sadness in the future.

But it was just a wish. It was impossible to tell if it would be fulfilled or not. In fact, Carlos had already accepted his fate. Although, he didn't believe in destiny.

Many years ago, he had felt that marrying Tasha was the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Unfortunately, things always collapsed whenever they were overstretched. Besides, joy and sorrow were integral parts of one's life.
