Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 387

At that very moment, the woman, whom Jacob loved dearly, was sitting right in front of him. Sara winked her beautiful eyes and asked playfully, "Are you done?"

Jacob smiled awkwardly and answered, "Yes, I am."

"It's my turn then," Sara said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Jacob asked with furrowed brows. He was clearly confused by her words.

"I lied. My father isn't home." Sara knew him well that she flinched as soon as she finished speaking.

She was right for doing so. Jacob pretended to be angry at her and was about to reached out his arm to tickle her. "How could you lie to me?"

As he spoke, he suddenly grabbed Sara by the waist, to which she dodged by rolling on the sofa. However, Jacob, being nimble and all, succeeded in catching her. She could not help but burst out laughing as he tickled her at the sides.

The pair played and teased each other like children until Sara begged for mercy. "Stop! Ha-ha! I'm sorry!"

Jacob stopped immediately after that. He then gazed at Sara, whose hair was messy and ruffled. Her candid beauty made him think that she looked more beautiful than ever.

He was so fascinated by her. Before he knew it, he was already on top of her while staring into her eyes.

He was so close to her that Sara could feel his breath on her cheeks, making her face blush in anticipation.

Even though they had been married for years, she still blushed every time he was near.

It is said that people who easily blush are timid. However, Sara believed otherwise. It did not make sense to her. Why was she even blushing?

But she could not care less. Jacob knew her very well anyway.

For Sara, it was better to hear a sincere apology once than hear an insincere one a hundred times.

That was the reason why she was so shaken when Jacob apologized to her. Of course, she did not forgive him right away. She was a prideful and dignified woman, was she not?

Deep inside, she saw herself as a princess who deserved to be spoiled with love. Nobody was allowed to hurt her, scold her, or yell at her, even if it was Jacob.

"Sara, I came here because I was hungry." Jacob looked at her, his grievances apparent in his eyes. Just as he finished speaking, his stomach suddenly growled, confirming his words.

Sara looked at him in surprise. Hearing his stomach's growl, she could not help but burst into laughter again.

"Are you stupid? Can't you just eat outside?" She laughed so hard that her tummy hurt, making her clutch her belly. For a moment, she forgot about her life's mishaps and troubles.

Whenever she was with Jacob, she felt comfortable and at ease. She forgot everything that had happened, even if it was Jacob who brought those troubles to her.

"I can have dinner anywhere, but I can't eat without you,"

Jacob said seriously while staring into her eyes.

Sara's hand stopped midair upon hearing his words. It turned out that he had gotten better in saying his feelings for her.

Although Jacob was now good at saying sweet words, showing and expressing his genuine feelings was not something he could practice.

All of a sudden, Sara fell silent and became serious. With her legs crossed on the sofa, she looked at him and asked solemnly, "What are you going to do, Jacob?"

With a heavy sigh, Jacob ruffled his hair and confessed to her everything that had happened these past few days. Sara listened intently. Although she knew that it was only right for him to send Alice to the hospital, she felt uncomfortable.

Jacob's heart was overjoyed, but he tried his best to remain calm. "It's too troublesome. How about just make me a bowl of noodles?"

At first, Sara was surprised at his request but was delighted afterwards.

She was obviously taken aback that Jacob only wanted to have noodles. As a CEO of a renowned company, he had tried all kinds of delicacies, making it hard to believe that all he wanted at that moment was a bowl of noodles.

On second thought, Jacob no longer regarded himself as a CEO. He finally got rid of the shackles of being a CEO. Was it not worth celebrating?

Meanwhile, Sara's lips curled into a smile. She looked at him and said excitedly, "On it! I'll do it for you right away. Wait for me, okay? It won't take long."

As she went to the kitchen, Jacob stood up from his seat and followed her. It seemed that he did not want to leave her alone.

Of course, Sara noticed his action. She was stunned for a second but got ahold of herself almost immediately. As she turned around, she did not expect him to be right behind her, so she almost knocked into him.

"What... what are you doing?" Sara asked suspiciously. Then, she leaned over and looked around him, wondering what he was up to.

"Let me help you," Jacob said with a straight face.

Sara almost laughed when she heard him. However, after staring at him for a few seconds, she figured out that he was not joking, and she eventually gave in.

She realized that he was actually a considerate man. She did not know it before until now.

Not long after, Sara realized that she had rejoiced too early. Well, when Jacob went to the kitchen, he looked around as though he had never been to a kitchen before. Not only that, but he had so many questions wherever he went. He even asked about mundane things that even most households had.

Sara felt that it was not her husband whom she took to the kitchen but a child. Who would have thought that Jacob knew nothing about cooking?
