Ex-wife, Please Come Back

He had no idea how many nights Sara spent crying over him. The thought of this saddened Jacob.

He was a man in his late twenties, but now he was a seasoned man who went through a lot and saw the world for what it really was. But he still had uneasy feelings when things didn't go as planned.

When he reached the company, he picked up his phone and hoped to call Sara. But before he could, he already imagined what would happen, and that Sara would hang up the phone. Jacob decided to give it up.

It was not that he was afraid of being brushed off, but because Sara might feel uncomfortable. Jacob understood how Sara felt.

For now, Jacob held back the urge to call Sara and tossed his phone on the table.

Before he got off of work in the afternoon, Cindy came into his office and gave him the updates.

"Mr. Jacob, Miss Alice's flight is arriving soon. I've already scheduled for someone to pick her up. But I haven't arranged her accommodations yet."

Cindy relayed the update. After all, no one could possibly guess what ran in Mr. Jacob's mind.

Besides, Sara and Jacob had been married for so many years, but she had not given children for Mr. Jacob. This naturally led to people gossiping about their marriage. So now that Alice was with child, Cindy was smart enough to get the hint even if she didn't say anything.

"I'll take it from here and pick her up myself." Jacob stood upright and was about to fetch his coat. Cindy eyed Jacob's movements and remained still as she held her breath.

It seemed as if Cindy's hunch was correct and it made her anxious. 'With Alice coming back, I think Sara would have a much harder time in the future.'

As Cindy realized this, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Sara. But soon, she had to repress her sympathy. 'Who is Sara? She is the strong and capable woman who deserves to stand on the peak of the pyramid.

How could I, a mere CEO assistant, feel sympathy for someone of her status? It was foolish of me.' Cindy hold back her thoughts. Nevertheless, Mr. Jacob should be the one to deal with it.
