Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 438

Jacob really did not want to talk Alice out of this. Well, she did not want to be persuaded, so what was the point of it? If she insisted on going the wrong way, nobody could save her.

"Fuck off! Fuck off! I don't want to see you anymore! Jacob, why?! Why can't you leave her? Why did you even go here to provoke me on my big day if you're still with her? I don't want to know anything about you and that woman. Get out of my face!"

Alice's shrill voice pierced through Jacob's ears. With that, he walked away without looking back and answering her desperate pleas. In Alice's memory, this was the last time Jacob showed concern about her.

She wiped her tears off her face and went out of the bathroom. As she did so, a few guests came out of the bathroom as well. They had roughly overheard the conversation between Jacob and Alice. However, they knew better than to say a word about it.

Everyone pretended as if nothing had happened. Alice, who wiped her tears and composed herself in a hurry, attended the wedding as planned. If she admitted that she regretted being married to Jonathan, she would only offend him.

What would the guests think of her if she left just like that? Marriage is not a game, and Alice knew it well. Once she made a choice, there was no way back. What was more, Jacob's persuasion irked her. Since he did not figure out the meaning of her and Jonathan's marriage, it gave Alice more reasons to continue it.

In this way, she would have a reason to console herself, even if she failed. On the other hand, if she succeeded, Jacob would be humiliated.

Many people do a lot of unimaginable things in their lives to attract other people's attention. Alice was not an exception.

When the wedding started, Jonathan whispered something in Alice's ear. "It's not too late for you to regret this. I won't blame you if you do."

Alice was taken aback by his words, but she did not stop. She continued walking forward to the music of the Wedding March.

"Stop it. I've already made up my mind. Don't worry. I'm not a coward. Let's do this." Although she was reassuring Jonathan about her decision, it felt as though she was convincing herself.

There would be no room for regret in the future. She could only move forward and see what would happen then.

"Okay." Jonathan put on a serious look, which was quite unusual for him. Truth be told, he knew what Alice and Jacob talked about in the comfort room.

He was just testing Alice's resoluteness now. Fortunately, the humiliation he had imagined did not happen.

Alice looked at him with what looked like tenderness in her eyes. Although she was just pretending that she loved him, Jonathan deemed her acting satisfactory and believable. After all, he knew her very well.

The wedding was grand and luxurious. In order to show off his fame and fortune, Jonathan invited almost all of their relatives.

He actually planned on telling everyone that the Shi Group now belonged to him, and his brother, Jacob, could only watch his success from afar.

Of course, he would never allow anything wrong to happen on such an important day of his life. If for some reason, Alice decided to run away, he would definitely become a laughing stock.

Jonathan had already thought about all potential problems that could happen. Fortunately, nothing had happened so far.

When Jonathan heard that Jacob talked to Alice, he was overwhelmed with grief and joy. He felt a little upset because he was worried that he might have set up a wrong bet. However, he was happy that this marriage would not be futile as it seemed that Jacob still had feelings for Alice.

Looking at the bride on the stage, Sara frowned and turned to face Jacob.

"Didn't you tell her?" she asked.

"Yes, but she said she didn't care." As Jacob spoke, he gently squeezed Sara's hand in reassurance. As long as he was beside the woman he loved, he was powerful, and nothing else mattered.

"Then... is she really sure about this? Although I don't see her as a good woman, Jonathan isn't a good choice if she wants a husband." While holding Jacob's hand, Sara heaved a heavy sigh.

It suddenly occurred to her the time when she went out with him for a spring outing. They saw peach blossoms bloomed in the suburbs, but he did not look as ecstatic as her that day.
