Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 260 As If It Had Been A Lifetime

At that time, James couldn't show a happy face. Because all these things made him rather feel extremely heavy. If it weren't for his elder brother, he would have jumped into the sea without second thoughts, wanting desperately to end his miserable life at once.

"After she died, I traveled to the seaside at one time. I vaguely recalled whether I was drunk that day. I only knew that the more I thought about it, the angrier I became. And when I finally found myself at the seaside, I started yelling crazily. And I didn't know for how long I had been standing by the sea when a sudden urge hit me making me want to jump down directly."

James sadly reminisced that fateful day. If it weren't for the two strong men who suddenly sprang up out of nowhere, he might have surely died.

"But I had no idea why I was suddenly hit by someone before I passed out. When I regained my consciousness, I was in the hospital. My elder brother was silently sitting in front of my bed. But I will always remember what he said. And it was what motivated me to live until today,"

James continued. He squinted his eyes slightly reflecting that he only admired a few people in his life, and his elder brother was indeed one of them.

"He firmly said that I had died once. And since he saved my life, he now had the right to decide whether I stayed alive or not in the future. And that he wouldn't let me decide on my own. Now it all seemed to me that my brother truly saved me. Although I couldn't help feeling lonely all the time, I could still say that I had a lot of fun in my life."

Eventually, at that exact moment, James felt relieved from the tight-knot feeling gnawing him soon after realizing he didn't have to live life like the way he used to. And this was way much easier than he could surmise. And for this reason, he came to an understanding of what he should do.

He joined his elder brother's company shortly. By then, not a single soul knew how powerful he naturally was. But even so, he earnestly showed a willingness to start from the bottom up, contemplating that what he needed the most in his present circumstances was to change his attitude towards life.

From then on, no matter how excellent and suitable those girls appeared around him and no matter how much they hinted or flirted with him, he just pretended to ignore them. So as time went by, no one dared show any affection towards him.

In his heart and soul, the only one he truly loved was gone. He could no longer open his heart and let himself fall in love again with others.

"Later, I joined the group. And I started from the lowest position, then ascended slowly to the deputy CEO. Sometimes, my brother made fun of me, teasing me that maybe the CEO position should be given to me. But I never had that desire. What I merely planned was to work hard to divert my attention,"
