When Jacob returned home, Sara was already there. As soon as he entered the villa, he was greeted with the sight of packed bags. He looked around him in surprise.
Meanwhile, Sara was instructing the staff to help carry the luggage. Jacob walked over to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder.
"How did everything go today?" Sara asked with concern.
Jacob nodded at her, a happy smile on his face.
"Not bad, though Jonathan still made things difficult for me," Jacob said.
Sara pinched Jacob's arm nervously. She had a worried expression on her face.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. He didn't see me at all. But, I'm glad for it. He only gave me a small number of shares. I don't expect to make a fortune out of them, but they're better than nothing."
The smile on Jacob's face never faltered. The best thing was that he could finally start over. Of course, starting over didn't mean all that much to him.
The most important thing was that he had Sara by his side. As long as she was with him, everything would be fine.
Nobody else seemed to matter as much. Jacob had never taken anyone else seriously. 'Is Jonathan strong?' Jacob couldn't help but laugh.
"By the way, what's happening? What are all these people doing?" Jacob asked, gesturing at the people who were moving in and out while hauling luggage and bags.
"Since you said that you wanted to move here before, I hired a moving company to move our things here. It was supposed to be a surprise for you."
Sara paused for a while and rested her hands on her hips.
"I know we can buy all these things, but I prefer the ones I already have. They have sentimental value. I don't want to replace them."
Sara smiled, but her tone was very matter-of-fact.
Jacob couldn't help but nod. "You should have told me earlier. I would have come back to help you. It must be hard for you to do all of these things alone."
Sara could see the concern in his eyes. Jacob worried about Sara's wellbeing more than he did about anything else.
"Well, I know what you mean. But, everything's been settled. By the way, Winnie will also move here. But, she won't come today because it all happened so fast."
Sara skillfully changed the topic. She knew that Jacob would want to talk about Winnie. Jacob had told her several times that he would bring Winnie here.
Jacob held Sara tightly. He looked at her, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"I have trained my wife to become such a considerate person." Jacob smiled smugly, feeling satisfied with how Sara was acting.
Sara rolled her eyes at Jacob. "Ha! Don't flatter yourself. I was born this way."
Jacob said nothing more, smiling at Sara's words. He could feel genuine joy bubble up from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't used to feeling that way.
Perhaps he would meet many more people in his lifetime, but he knew none of them could ever compare to Sara.
It was like when Alice had left. She thought that she was bound to meet someone better and more interesting, but she didn't know that she had already found the best person for her. She realized it too late.
Now, she was forced to face the consequences of her choice, but she didn't want to admit it.
"As a reward for being such a capable wife, I have decided to invite you to have dinner with me."
Jacob smiled mysteriously. Sara looked puzzled.
"Well, where are we going to eat?" Hearing that Jacob invited her to have dinner with him, Sara agreed happily.
For most women, there was no problem in the world that could not be solved by having a big meal. If by some coincidence there was, then two meals would do.
Of course, Sara was no ordinary woman. But, she did enjoy having the one she loved wine and dine her.
The couple sent the staff of the moving company away and headed out on their date.
Having made up his mind on where to go, Jacob drove straight to the airport.
