Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 395

In the past, they always cared about their partner's shortcomings without even looking at themselves. As long as they saw something undesirable or unsatisfactory, they would become aggressive.

Many couples are like that. They do not stop fighting for who is right until one of them wins.

What they do not know is that from the very beginning, nobody is destined to win.

Apart from being neck and neck until one of them loses, there is no better ending for them.

Jacob was glad that he knew about that. Those words were what made him realize his genuine feelings with Sara now that he was treating her right.

Nobody could stop him, not even Alice.

Not only that, but nobody could change his mind except himself.

Not long after, the lunch was finally ready. Jacob sat at the table and looked at the full-course meal in front of him.

He was not really hungry. However, he had to praise Carlos' cooking as Jacob helped himself to the food.

To be perfectly honest, the food was exquisite. He kept complimenting Carlos after tasting every dish.

Carlos was overjoyed by his words. "You should come and eat here more often. I'll be willing to cook for you," he said while beaming with happiness.

With a smile, Sara looked at her father and said, "Sure, Dad. But aren't you going to be too tired?"

"It's okay. Cooking is not that tiresome anyway. I'll be more than happy to cook for you." Thanks to Jacob's praise, Carlos' smile was brighter and more radiant, and he felt even prouder of himself.

But that was not the only reason why he was happy. Unlike before, he now felt that Jacob was talkative and more open than ever.

He recalled the past and realized that everything that had happened seemed like a nightmare.

Before, Jacob was cold as ice, and Sara was quiet and reserved.

Fortunately, both of them had matured and developed into a fine man and lady. In that case, Carlos was the only one who had not changed.

When they were done eating lunch, Jacob and Sara went out for a walk, while Carlos stayed at home alone.

The instant Sara stepped out of the door, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"My father asked me about the time when you came here," she said with a deep breath. Upon hearing her words, Jacob stopped in his tracks at once.

"And then what did you say?" he asked with a frown. Why did he always feel that it was strange for Carlos to ask about them?

"It's okay. I just explained it casually. There's nothing to be worried about. My father shot me a meaningful look, though. Honestly, it kind of scared me."

It seemed that Sara was still afraid to face that matter with her father.

After her mother left she seldom talked with others.

Her father had always warned her not to fall in love. Well, at least not at an early age.

Sara had a lot of suitors and admirers because of her beauty. There was even a man who always came to her house and waited for her every single day.

Sadly, Carlos drove him away. Sara happened to see that scene with her own eyes when she came home that day.

Although her father never mentioned that again, what had happened was still etched in her mind.

Since then, everyone knew that Sara had a strict and austere father.

As a result, fewer men pursued her.

Even if somebody admired her so much, they could only do so secretly. Nobody dared to say it out, afraid that her father would come at them.

Even so, Sara was grateful to her father. However, it was undeniable that what he had done left a shadow in her heart.

She felt that she was a person who was not allowed to fall in love. Because of this, she developed an irrational fear of being exposed, making her feel insecure and embarrassed of herself in front of her father today.

However, what she had was only the lingering fear from the past. Besides, many people are afraid of their parents since their childhood, and it is actually common and not surprising.

Fortunately, those children eventually forgive their parents once they grow up.
