Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 359

She was in complete disbelief that Jacob would scold her for Sara. Alice felt the sudden outrage that arose in her heart. If she didn't constantly remind herself to endure it, she would already have exploded.

"Jacob, how do you feel about me now?" Tears brimmed from Alice's eyes. She felt saddened. She had never experienced being on the other end of Jacob's ill-temper.

"Enough, Alice. I just care about what you're going to do next."

Jacob realized how harsh his words were. After all, Alice was pregnant. Maybe he could try to be more considerate and not push her too much.

Tears started to fall down Alice's cheeks. She had waited such a long time, and now all Jacob had given her were cruel remarks. Everything she had expected didn't happen.

Instead, what happened was all the things that Alice never wanted to see. It was completely beyond her expectations. She thought that since she had been gone for a long time, Jacob would shower her with love and affection. But she didn't expect that he would despise her so much.

Alice wept. She knew that Sara's favorite food was steak, so the moment the steak was served on the table, Alice restrained herself from eating it.

So far, the steak remained untouched and intact as it lay on the table in front of her.

Yet Alice's mood had shifted. The same things remained but the people that surrounded it had changed. In a daze, Jacob looked at Alice, but felt no sympathy in his heart for her.

Before, he grew nervous when he heard her cough. But now, he no longer harbored the same feelings he once had for her.

It was like this when the pair had fallen in love. The longer they had stayed together, the softer their hearts would be. However, if they separated, they would act coldly to one another. Perhaps it was because Jacob had been separated from Alice for such a long time that his feelings for her started to fade.

"Fine. Don't cry. It's not good for the baby." Jacob narrowed his eyes and placed both his hands on his chest. The matter had already crossed his mind.

"Jacob, you're acting so cruel towards me. I don't understand why after we broke up, you started treating me like your enemy. I know you have friends, but why do you fail to understand my feelings?"

Alice picked up the napkin on the table and sobbed. It seemed that all Jacob did was to make things worse.

It would be foolish of Alice to not get the upper hand by using it when she had the chance. Jacob stared at Alice. He was completely dumbfounded.

What she said was reasonable. Yet so many things wouldn't have made sense if love was fair.

"Alice, I want to talk to you properly. Could you please try to be rational about this? We're both busy with our lives. You of all people should know this better than I!"

Jacob tapped his finger on his watch. Indeed, there was nothing else that he was worried about right now. If he stayed for too long, Sara would get mad at him again.

Although it wasn't easy to deal with, Jacob didn't want her to misunderstand his intention again. He couldn't allow something like that to happen again, even if it was just a small misunderstanding.

Astounded, Alice froze in her seat. This whole thing had not worked out the way she planned it to be. She had lost control of everything.

At a loss for words, Jacob stared at her in silence. He realized that what he had said was too harsh, but he didn't have a choice. The longer the matter was delayed, the worse it would get for everyone involved.

And he knew this better than anybody. It wouldn't solve the problem. On the contrary, it would only worsen the situation.
