Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 439

The scene was gradually becoming ugly. Jacob could see that Sara was boiling with anger. Just then, he reached out his hand to stop her. When she looked back at him, he shook his head. This was to discourage her from acting on impulse.

"I wish you a happy married life," Jacob said as he looked at Jonathan with firmness in his eyes.

Alice stared at Jacob in shock. 'No, that's not what he's supposed to say! He had clearly persuaded me to leave Jonathan just now, '

At that instance, Alice's eyes were filled with despair. Her expression showed that she was shocked and sad at the same time. 'Did my wedding to his cousin not annoy him? Why is he acting so cool?'

"Jacob is very generous. Well, I won't give him a hard time." Jonathan's face darkened when he heard his cousin's response. He felt like Jacob was the one humiliating him at that moment.

Things weren't going as he had planned. Jonathan wanted to embarrass Jacob today. But the result was the exact opposite. And this was already very embarrassing for Alice. He could tell from the frown on her face. Besides, all that he had said didn't sound like he was praising his bride. Rather, it seemed like he was making a mockery of her.

The guests were all silent. They watched the unfolding drama before them. Most of them had their lips slightly parted in shock. But none of them could pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

"Jacob, I want to leave now." Sara was not pleased with what was happening. But she didn't blame Jacob. Her anger was because of Jonathan's tone and expression. Deep down in her heart, she hated him so much.

'What did Jacob do wrong? Why should he be interrogated at their wedding? They are biting more than they can chew!' Sara thought angrily.

Noticing the frown on Sara's face, Jacob looked at her affectionately. Then, he asked in a soft voice, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"I just think these two are stepping out of line. Who do they think they are to question you like this?" Sara paused. Her anger was gradually surmounting. Indeed, she was pissed with the audacity of this couple.

"Well, let's go then." Jacob smiled at his beloved woman. Then, he placed his arm on her shoulder and they walked out. At that moment, Sara felt warm in her heart.

She knew that he was also in a bad mood now. She didn't mean to give him a hard time. But Sara just felt that the humiliation was uncalled for. Surprisingly, he had remained calm. And she admired him for that.

As they walked out of the hotel, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief as he stared tenderly at Sara. Being by her side brought him peace. He was only able to put up with the embarrassment back there because she was with him. When Jacob inhaled the air outside, he felt that it was fresher than the one inside the hotel. Perhaps it was because the toxic couple was no longer around him.

"Let's go home." They continued to walk to the parking lot without looking back. Suddenly, Jacob heard a clear voice from behind.

"Jacob," Alice screamed as she stared jealously at their back. Meanwhile, Jonathan stood at a distance and watched them indifferently.

Jacob stopped and turned to look at her. His eyebrows were furrowed. And his expression clearly showed that he was displeased.

"Jacob, are you leaving now?" Alice asked in a wail. She was tugging at her white wedding dress like a child who was just abandoned. As she did that, she stared ferociously at Sara.

'I am supposed to be the most beautiful woman today. Everyone's attention is supposed to be on me! But this wench stole my shine. She overshadowed me on my wedding day!' Alice felt so bitter as she thought of how things panned out. The hatred she felt for Sara continued to increase. But what pained her the most was Jacob's countenance.

His calmness and indifference made Alice's heart ache severely. It was as if he was breaking up with her all over again.

"Do you regret what you just said?" Alice looked at him with firmness and hope in her eyes. She really wanted to hear a positive answer.

"This is up to you. But I still hope you can think this through. This isn't child's play, you know." Jacob glanced at Jonathan as he answered his ex-girlfriend without mincing words.

"I am ready to abandon all these and go with you. Just say that you want me. I... I feel that my life would be incomplete without you. Jacob, you are my better half. No one else can take your place in my heart."

Hot tears welled up in Alice's eyes. She still loved him deeply. However, this man didn't belong to her anymore.

Just now, when she saw the way he had looked at Sara, she knew that everything was all over. It dawned on her that he would never be hers again.

Alice had never seen such tenderness in his eyes before. Today was the very first time. Her heart sank to her stomach as she remembered the past. All those years that they dated, Jacob had never looked at her like that. Not even once!

Jacob cautioned her to stop talking by stretching out his hand in the air. As she stood there, Sara kept mute. But she was pleased with the way he was handling the situation.
