Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 427

Cindy almost burst into tears when she told him about the news but couldn't seem to complete her sentences. Jacob sent her to convene several clients with whom he had beforehand worked. As soon as they saw her appearance, those people immediately changed their attitudes and shut her out.

"There we have it. It was inevitable. It doesn't create a difference anyway." Jacob consoled her with his calming voice, which had the opposite impression of making Cindy teary.

"Mr. Jacob, I'm certain it's not because of your resignation that we're in this messy situation right now." She was suspicious of the unusually cold attitudes of their former partners that she almost blurted out what was on her mind before she refrained from being impulsive in front of Jacob.

"Yes, It seems like that. Jonathan likely had much to do with it. It barely matters. I had predicted him doing so. But guess what, the time when he could do just as he pleases would be gone forever sooner or later."

Jacob was confident in his assertions. He may have a better grasp of the situation than Cindy did.

Cindy considered that if they lost, she would just lose her career. However, Jacob respected and cherished his career, and if he lost, he would lose his entire life.

Jacob did not bother to fill Cindy into every little thing as this matter had clearly altered meanings and effects for the both of them.

As she pressed her sweaty hands, Cindy gulped and gave Jacob a look. "What must we do next, Mr. Jacob?"

Jacob was speechless for a short moment. This was a challenging question to answer. Jacob couldn't say anything as he was bewildered.

Noah would undoubtedly help him because he could easily ask for help if he was actually in crisis. Begging for help meant losing his honor, so Jacob didn't fancy doing that.

Jacob did not need anyone else to take part in this. In other words, in his case, it was his own obligation that he couldn't work out his issues.

"It's something I'm actually considering. Have you, on the other hand, reached the person I told you to contact?" Jacob, remembering the man who knew everything, lifted an eyebrow and asked.

"Apologies, Sir Jacob. I'm having difficulty reaching him. He left a phone number that is no longer working." Cindy looked down, her face flushed with embarrassment. Even though she had no idea who that person was, she still had the impression that he was crucial to Jacob.

"It's all right. Carry on with your business. Please let me know if you discover anything." Jacob looked exhausted as he lay in the chair, his polo unbuttoned. His eyes were dark and gloomy as if he was depressed and dispirited.

"Yes, Mr. Jacob." Cindy was worried as she stared at Jacob. When she first saw him, she sensed something wasn't quite normal. Jacob's eyes were droopy, and his face was red. Had he shed tears?

It was hard to conceive Jacob, who was so strong and confident, suffering. He must have come across something really troubling.

Feeling sorry for him, Cindy thought about how hopeless he must have been. Mr. Jacob, the smart and powerful, would still be in a disastrous circumstance, let alone her.

Yet, to her wonder, she felt a sense of relief just thinking about it. Cindy was assured that she and Jacob would bear up under its hardships and walk forward hand in hand.

Jacob fell into a trance, his palms placed to his forehead. Since he had read James's letter, he had not been at peace. Simply a few words were enough to modestly describe their lives.

"Generalist" was missing. 'Why on earth did he leave?' Jacob massaged his head with a hundred guesses playing in his mind.

'Was James with him when he left?' That was, indeed, a positive thing. James would at least be free of any further worries about being left alone.

Jacob didn't want James to be isolated, mainly because he knew he was already unhappy for the past decades. It would be the worst tragedy if he died in a foreign country.

With his sigh of helplessness, Jacob got to his feet.

For him, the most significant thing right now was to confront the problem. He had to strive on his own because he had no one to rely on.

Jacob got up and walked over to the broad transparent window, where he gazed out at the beautiful scenery outside.

The sky stayed calm and serene as usual. However, today seemed to be a sunny day, and the weather was beginning to warm up.

The sunlight intruded on people's hearts as it washed away the darkness.

Jacob had wondered why the earth was separated into four artistic seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, upon seeing this. This is possibly related to the reasons that summer brings warmth to people's hearts.
