Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 390

The family could have lived happily forever, if it were not for Jacob's mistakes. Assuming he handled all the garbage that Alice brought, they wouldn't be in this mess.

Jacob's heart was filled with regrets. After he pondered about all he should have done, he looked at Sara with sincerity in his eyes.

"Honey, please don't make fun of me. Let's discuss this as a couple. How can you forgive me? What should I do?" Jacob looked a little serious. Indeed, he really wanted Sara to forgive him. If they didn't have a child, they wouldn't be a complete couple. Children were bundles of joy that held families together.

It is a known fact that some couples liked living together without children. People were gradually embracing DINK- Dual Income and No Kids. However, Jacob felt that a child would be the fruit of their love. If there was no child, then no one would witness their love.

Moreover, the child would be a duplicate of them. The child would carry on their legacy. Jacob desired that someone watched them as they grew old together. There were many things that only a child was capable of witnessing and remembering.

His facial expression showed that he was troubled. This was because it didn't seem like Sara was joking. Jacob's heart was pounding because of the tension he felt.

He was also worried that things might not get better for him. The future looked bleak and miserable. This made his heart sink to his stomach.

Seeing that Jacob lowered his head, Sara felt pity for him. She didn't like to see him so unhappy.

"Well, it depends on your performance in the future. Your actions from now on would determine my decision." Sara sighed helplessly, as if she was convinced. She was ready to believe in his words.

Since Jacob said that she was the only woman he wanted, she had become reassured. His confession made her stronger.

Unlike before, Sara was now confident that she wasn't just wasting her time. She no longer worried herself with doubts that she would lose again after all the drama ended.

Regardless of the number of misunderstandings they had and problems that seemed to spring up frequently, Sara chose to believe Jacob. She trusted him so much that she saw these obstacles as tests on their love.

Immediately he heard what she said, Jacob lifted his head to look at her. His eyes were beaming with delight. And a charming smile stretched from the corners of his mouth to his whole face.

"Is everything really okay with Uncle James?" As she asked that question, Jacob's forehead creased a little. Sara also noticed that he was no longer smiling like before. This told her that all wasn't well.

Jacob kept mute for a few seconds. He was thinking about how best to answer this question. Then he said, "I guess he's good. Everything would be fine."

"Okay." Leaning back on the sofa, Sara rested her head on Jacob's. They remained like that for a few minutes. At that instance, they felt peace even though they still had problems that were unsettled.

"How about you wash the dishes?" Sara said suddenly and she gave him an enchanting smile.

"Well..." Jacob looked embarrassed. But as he looked at Sara, he couldn't help it. Her dazzling smile compelled him to agree. "Okay."

Sara tried to hold back her laughter. Jacob's facial expression was adorable and funny at the same time. Indeed, what didn't defeat them would only make their relationship stronger.

Jacob stretched out his hand and caressed Sara's smooth face. Then he said in a pitiful tone, "Could I do the dishes after a nap? I'm a little tired."

Looking at him, Sara said yes. She knew that he was tired from all the running around he was doing lately.

As they sat there, the two of them talked about how the past few days had been. Sara also spoke about how her father was fairing. Jacob knew a lot about the happenings in Sara's household. This was because he cared about her. And he was interested to know more about her.

During the discussion, Jacob mentioned that he was contemplating the sale of his old villa. Sara kicked against it vehemently.

The villa was where they had lived when they were still married. Although they weren't in love with each other then, it held all their memories as a married couple. Sara felt that it was very significant to their love story. Because of this, she didn't want him to sell it.

"Is that necessary?" Sara gave him a questioning look. Her eyes showed that she wasn't happy with what he had just said.

Jacob caressed her face gently. He was trying to calm her down. Then he said, "Sara, I know you don't want me to sell it. I understand that it holds the memories of the four years of our marriage. But I don't have the right to use the villa anymore. Besides, it's too far from your company. I want to live with you."

Jacob decided not to explain the reason for his decision. Actually, he wasn't the one who purchased the villa himself. His late father, Michael had bought it for him.

At the time when Jacob wasn't financially stable and unserious, his old man had made sure he didn't lack anything.

Now, Jacob couldn't afford to be unprincipled anymore. This was probably a kind of redemption. He was trying to make amends.

If his father could see all the efforts he was making now, then he would forgive him. Jacob was sure of that.

"Well, if you want to sell it, then sell it. I don't even want it anymore. Besides, that troublesome woman called Alice also lived there before."

Sara pouted her lips and continued, "A famous writer named Sanmao once said, 'If what you give to me is the same as what you give to others, then I don't want it.' This is the same way I feel, Jacob. I don't want something that Alice also used."

Jacob kept caressing her face. This was to comfort her because of the way she was feeling.

Lately, whenever Jacob looked at her, his eyes were filled with unsaid affection. He was completely mesmerized by her being. He also felt that he was deeply obsessed with her.

"I know. That's why I bought a new villa, didn't I?" Jacob didn't dare to speak in a loud tone. He was afraid that if he spoke loudly, Sara would begin to worry. He didn't want her to stress herself in any way.

Because of this, he spoke softly. He also had a charming expression on his face. Jacob had no idea how cute he looked at that moment.

Sara sat up and drew closer to him. At that moment, their position was intimate and their bodies were almost glued together.
