Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 437

Alice's eyes were wet with tears. A moment after, she finally found the strength to keep them from falling. Sara shot Jonathan a meaningful look. Then, she turned to look at Alice.

It was obvious, was it not? Jonathan was a notorious person, yet Alice wanted to marry him. The whole thing made Sara extremely confused.

She quickly thought of the reason why Alice was doing this. As she saw the way Alice looked at Jacob, she suddenly had a bad feeling about it.

'Was this some sort of revenge? If so, Alice had to sacrifice so much in order to get what she wanted.'

Alice forced a bright smile and looked at them. But since she could not see her own smile, she had no idea if it looked natural or stiff.

Meanwhile, Jacob was holding Sara's arm. Although he was no longer a CEO, he looked more charming than ever, even more than Alice's groom, Jonathan. It also seemed that Jacob had become humbler and happier.

Alice felt a little uncomfortable upon seeing them, but the smile on her face remained. Jonathan, who was beside her, could not help but stare at Sara

There was greed and lust in his eyes, but he did not even bother to hide it. Alice noticed it but said nothing. However, she felt disgusted with him.

It was not until Jacob entered with Sara did Alice feel desolation in her heart. But now was not the time to be pathetic. As she turned to look at the crowd, she put on a big smile that could not be wiped off.

When Thompson arrived, he unexpectedly gave Alice several pieces of valuable gems as gifts.

With a smile, he scrutinized the bride-to-be's make-up without her noticing. Judging from her appearance, Alice was not ugly.

Thompson knew she would definitely be a beauty when she dressed up.

Since he did not want to seem so affectionate with her on such an occasion, he just greeted her in courtesy and walked into the hotel like most guests.

The expectation in Alice's heart had not changed. Even so, she felt that this event was different from what she had imagined once it was done.

Since the difference between her imagination and reality was getting uncanny, the smile on Alice's face stiffened.

Jacob just left the venue, no expected astonishment written on his face. After all, what she was doing right now seemed useless.

Of course, Alice's parents did not know what she had experienced in the past few years. When they asked her if Jonathan was treating her right, Alice just gave them an ambiguous reply.

Whether Jonathan was good or not did not matter. Well, Alice did not care about it, so she deemed it irrelevant.

Standing at the doorway, the scene when Jacob and Sara interlocked their fingers kept replaying in Alice's mind. She would feel better if they could refrain from showing their love just for now. Sadly, the truth was cruel.

They did not have the need to hide their love nor feel embarrassed by it. They just showed their intimacy openly without worrying about anything else.

Now, Alice was doubting herself if she really liked Jacob. Maybe she did, maybe she did not.

Alice was unsure about the answer. Nevertheless, she maintained her composure and made sure that those thoughts would not get a hold of her. In her beautiful dress, she stood elegantly and greeted every guest that came.

Today was supposed to be her big day. Unfortunately for her, today was the day she married someone she did not like. She not only disliked her groom, but she also hated him.

On the contrary, Jonathan seemed to be in a good mood. Even though he noticed something with the way Alice looked at Jacob, he just pretended that he did not see anything.

Jacob showed up as expected. Not only that, he was neither humble nor arrogant. A sly smile tugged at the corner of Jonathan's mouth. This wedding was getting more and more interesting.

What made it more interesting was that Sara went with Jacob. The smile on Jonathan's face even grew wider and more mischievous. 'What a beauty Sara was!'

She looked stunning and pure, unlike Alice.

Alice's smile made people feel that she was disguising what she truly felt. On the other hand, Sara looked sincere whether she was happy or sad.

To put it simply, Sara let people feel her authenticity and genuineness. Perhaps Thompson was attracted to her because he had been forced to put a mask for so long. That could be the reason why he could not help but be allured by her.
