Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 409

Jacob gazed at Sara's sleepy face and asked, "What time did you wake up?"

"Just now. Why?" Sara answered groggily while rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

It was undeniable that she looked adorable despite her unruly hair and groggy state. Looking at her red cheeks, Jacob could not help but caress it.

"What do you want to do?" he asked with concern. It seemed that Sara wanted to do something.

However, he did not press further and just looked at her.

"I'm hungry. I didn't eat much in the restaurant," Sara mumbled with a pout.

Because of that, Jacob asked a flight stewardess if she could bring some food. Sadly, as it was not yet time to eat, rice was unavailable.

Fortunately, there was some bread left. Sara was so hungry that she even licked the cream off her bread. After she had finished the bread, it seemed that she still wanted more.

"Why? You're still hungry?" Jacob could not help but chuckle. Why did he not realize that she was actually a foodie?

Sara glanced at him timidly, embarrassment apparent on her face. Jacob wanted to laugh but knew better not to. Instead, he sat up straight and looked into her eyes.

As Sara felt embarrassed by his gaze, she hid her face in his arms. Although she felt shy, she looked undeniably beautiful.

Jacob did not speak anymore. He was afraid that she would get angry if he said something wrong. If that indeed happened, it would be difficult for him to coax her.

It was not that he was afraid of her getting mad at him. He just had to respect his woman.

Everything went well along the way. Not long after, Jacob also fell asleep.

At that moment, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning in Sri Lanka.

Jacob awoke first, so he woke up Sara. The latter still wanted to sleep, but they had to get off the plane soon. She then rubbed the sleep from her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar scene in front of her.

While Sara was standing on the ladder to disembark from the plane, she gazed at the sky in the distance.

Although it was hard to see what it looked like, she could vaguely tell that the sky looked magnificent. Then, she glanced at Jacob, who was standing next to her.

'The most romantic thing I can think of is standing by your side, watching the sun as it slowly rises in the morning and as it sets in the dusk.'

There was a determined look on Sara's face. Beside Jacob, she looked like a shy bride. She was staring at him, and so he looked back at her.

Their eyes met for a moment. After that, they finally walked out of the airport.

They hailed a taxi and found the hotel they had booked prior to the trip. Once they reached their destination, they went straight to their room. Sara lay on the bed. She was sleepy, but at the same time, thrilled. Today was a new beginning.

Jacob lay down next to her not long after. Now that they were lying next to each other, they stretched their fatigued limbs due to the trip, making the bed seem smaller than it actually was.

He cast a sideway glance at Sara and joked, "Excuse me, Sara. You've squeezed me out of the bed."

But instead of joking back, she casually put her hand under her head and retorted in a deadpan expression, "So, what?"

Jacob was taken aback by her response. He figured that it was better for him to stay silent, so he just stared at the ceiling in silence.

"Why don't we go to sleep? Let's just go out and enjoy the scenery at dawn. Is that okay?" he asked blankly as if in a daze.

Sara merely uttered a single word in agreement. With that, she tucked herself to bed. Flying in an airplane was really tiresome. All she wanted to do at the moment was to have a rest.

After a few minutes, her breath came out evenly, indicating that she was already fast asleep. Meanwhile, Jacob was still staring at the ceiling. Since she wanted to sleep, he let her do so.

Jacob finally fell asleep after quite some time. When he woke up, the sun had already risen at its peak.

"Wake up, Sara." He got up first and gently shook his companion, who was still sleeping. It was not until he shook her several times did she wake up.
