Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Sara moved out of her sitting position and lashed out at him. "What? Did I do something wrong to you?"

Jacob was quite determined to grab the pillow from her arms, but she quickly swept his hands away.

He was embarrassed with how that attempt ended up, and said, "Sara, I have something to tell you. But promise me you won't be angry. I need you to promise me that first."

She felt it was something serious upon hearing him beg like that. 'What did he mean by that, some kind of imparity clause? Now I have to be the one to promise something first?' she thought. Her expression changed into a strangely aggrieved demeanor.

"Whatever you say. I can't promise you anything if I don't know what you're going to say in the first place. You know what, I don't care. But, Jacob, what's the matter with you today? Tell me."

She clenched her fists, and some hints of anger crept up in her. But her curiosity overlapped above all the faculties of her human emotion. It could be observed clearly that even Jacob was afraid and unsure of what he was about to say.

However, he knew that it would take a very specific thing to make someone like Sara angry. Either way, she could not figure out what he was referring to. The uncertainty clouded all her suspicions and left her in the dark. She started to feel infuriated by that notion.

There was something out there that she should know about, but it was annoying for her to think that it was now completely out of her control. Jacob stared at her for a good while with his usual empty eyes. It almost looked as if he was lost in her eyes.

"Sara, something happened. It's about Alice," he finally uttered. He lost his confidence almost immediately after observing her take a rather tough stance. He was really different now—so different that his most beloved woman had become his weakness.

Back then, he could just simply ignore her feelings and do whatever he wanted to do. But he found himself head over heels with this woman that he'd be willing to protect her from anything that might hurt her.

Perhaps this was the difference between love and being an empty shell of a man. He didn't have time to heave a sigh, and he just wanted to settle this matter as soon as he could. But it seemed too difficult even for him.
