Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 401

After they had eaten some hot pot, Jacob felt much better. His wounds were not the kind that were visible, but he was confident that they would heal over time.

All his problems would be solved as time went by. He didn't know how long he would have to wait before seeing James again, but he was certain he would always miss him.

Jacob would miss him regardless of the circumstance. However, James turning out to be his father was certainly an added factor.

He would never openly admit that James was his father. However, deep down, he felt guilty towards James.

James left because Jacob didn't want to admit that he was James' son. Jacob knew this better than anyone else.

It would be too unethical for him to admit their true relationship, and he also didn't want to admit that he somewhat blamed James for everything.

When Jacob had to make a choice, he decided against revealing their true relationship. He barely even hesitated with his decision. Perhaps it was the best thing for him to do. However, that didn't stop the guilt from creeping up on him.

It was the very guilt that prevented him from telling Sara the truth. He didn't want her to worry about him, but he was also afraid she would question his choice.

It was already late when they had finished eating. They walked to the door of the restaurant. Time was such a strange thing. Even though he felt so much pain, he knew that he would get through it if enough time had passed.

The day had gone by quickly. Jacob opened the door, and Sara got in the car.

They headed home, and Jacob could not wait to sink into his bed and get some rest.

"I don't think I should eat so much food next time," Sara said, twisting her fingers. She looked rather distressed.

"Really? Why?" Jacob was confused. 'Does she think I can no longer afford to take her out because I resigned as the company's CEO?'

"Because soon, my metabolism will slow down drastically. If that happens and I still eat too much, I will gain a lot of weight. I can already hear people calling me 'Dama', which is the name they give to middle-aged women!"

Sara covered her face with her hand. She knew eating so much would eventually take a toll on her body. Sara pinched her belly. It appeared flat, but she could feel a little bit of fat underneath it.

Although it wasn't excess fat, Sara still wanted to lose it.

"Why? Has your body fat caused you any trouble?" Jacob wanted to laugh, but he made sure to keep a stoic demeanor.

He knew how serious Sara was about this sort of thing. If he laughed now, Sara would surely get angry at him.

There were two things that women cared about the most: their skin and their figure. Some women were particularly careful with maintaining their figures, even going through great lengths to ensure that they would never gain weight.

"Well, then, I will work out with you when I have time. That way, you wouldn't need to put yourself on a diet. You'll still be able to eat whatever you want." Jacob smiled at her.

Sara nodded seriously. Jacob's smile widened as he saw Sara's expression. It was as if she had said something funny.

"Are you feeling better now Jacob?" Sara was leaning against the headrest of the car seat, and she looked happy, tired, and contented.

However, Jacob knew that she secretly worried about him.

But, her words made him feel warm inside.

Sara blinked playfully. Nobody said life would be easy to go through. They would have to keep leaping over one hurdle after another. As soon as they overcame this difficulty, it was certain that they would be faced with another. However, as long as they did not give up, they would be able to make it to the end.

Unfortunately, some people tend to lose sight of the end goal once they reach the halfway mark of their journey.

With a nervous look on her face, Sara looked out of the car window. The night was dark, but little neon lights lit up the road. The colors danced in Sara's eyes.
