Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Slowly, Jacob walked up to Sara, and gently held her shoulder. She leaned onto him for comfort as she soon burst into tears.

He felt her sadness, too. He remained in silence as he continued to offer a shoulder for her to cry on. While it was happening, he was also intently listening as Carlos spoke his mind.

"I know she loves me. I know it. But she was not happy with how I was too preoccupied and committed to the company. I naively thought that the only way I could make her happy was through wealth, but it was too late when I started to realize my mistake. I was deeply deluded in the idea that she doesn't really love me."

His voice continued to sound horse as he went on. He knew that Jacob was standing beside him, but he couldn't pay attention to anyone right now.

Now their family was finally here, and it was the only silver lining that he got out of it. In the past, what he worried about the most was Sara's marriage. Now that he didn't have to worry about it, the only problem he could see was now his now.

Tasha was lying in the emergency room. The cancer itself was not terrible, but it created a complication that made it extremely difficult to save her. Carlos continued to sulk as the idea of not seeing the person he loved the most washed all over him.

For him, it was a miracle enough to ever see her again. This was definitely worth celebrating, but at the same time, something to mourn for.

Sara continued to cry. Although she just heard her father's words clearly, she could only imagine her mother's heart full of regrets. Since she left, what was supposed to be a happy family ended up in pieces.

It was because of her mother's choice. No matter how anyone looked at it, it was most definitely a factor. However, this time, it was purely fate making its move.

"Dad, don't be too sad, now. You also need to watch out for your own health." Jacob glanced over at Carlos and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. He could tell that Carlos had been through a lot.

"Your mother never had a hard time before. I made sure of that because I didn't want her to suffer when she was with me. So I worked my ass off trying to keep things the way they were. I think that she got tired of simply receiving everything from me that she gave up on me."

Eventually, Carlos stopped sobbing. For some reason, seeing men cry always brought out a certain degree of sadness for most people. He had to be strong in front of his daughter.
