Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Sara stuffed a puff into her mouth, and it exploded into a thick, gooey deliciousness. With that, a sense of satisfaction arose in her heart.

Holding back the desire to have more of that creamy pleasure, Sara took a plate and filled it with various delicacies. Once she was done putting enough food on her plate, she started eating with a fork. While doing so, she looked around to see if there was anyone she knew.

Strangely enough, Ethan caught her eye. It took her by surprise that the food she had swallowed got stuck in her throat. She coughed and gagged uncontrollably, so she quickly poured herself a glass of juice.

While she was taking a huge swig of the drink, Ethan walked up to her.

It had been a long time since they last saw each other. Because of this, Sara stared at him in a daze as she tried to recall a memory of him.

"Are you okay, Sara?" Ethan asked in a soft voice, an indescribable look in his eyes.

"I'm fine. Long time no see. How have you been?" Sara slowly took a step back and sat on the bench.

"I'm okay. A little lonely, but fine," Ethan answered while shaking his glass in an implicating manner.

However, Sara did not say anything further. She just continued eating with her head down. A deafening silence fell between them. Although Ethan was a good man, she felt uncomfortable around him. After all, she had turned him down before, making the atmosphere between them awkward and uneasy.

"Well..." Sara had no idea what to say.

Noticing that she could not carry on their conversation, Ethan smiled bitterly and decided to break the silence himself. "To be honest, I've tried contacting you many times, but to no avail. When I said that I could be your friend, I was lying to myself. Until now, I still can't speak out my feelings for you. Even as a friend, I can only look at you from afar. By the way, I heard about you from the news."

Sara was astounded. It turned out that Ethan was an honest and straightforward man. Sadly, honesty was not enough. The sequence of her life had already been determined from the start. No matter how hard someone tried, nothing could be changed anymore.

Just as Ethan said, they could only be friends. Nothing more.

"Well, let bygones be bygones. I've always believed that you're a good person anyway. You'll definitely meet someone else, a woman who's far better and more suitable for you than I am."

Sara got up and smiled at him. Then, she stuffed a slice of steak into her mouth, pretending to be at ease.
