Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Sitting in the restaurant, Jacob stared blankly at the crowd. It was a usual occurrence to see people flock the area after office hours.

Across Jacob was Alice, who stared at him with her brows furrowed. She didn't know what he was thinking right now. But one thing was for sure––Jacob wasn't happy to see her back.

Even after all this time, he still never learned to love her. And because of this, Alice felt a pang of pain wrapping her heart.

But still, she had to continue to strive for her future. Just because Jacob didn't love her back didn't mean her world would stop. Alice knew it better than anyone else. Holding back her thoughts and flashing a half-smile, she fixed her eyes on him.

"How are you and Sara doing?" In fact, Alice already knew what he was gonna say. But to show courtesy, she still asked.

"Pretty good." Jacob took a sip of his water and pursed his lips as if he had nothing to hide about this question.

"Really?" Alice pinched her hand nervously. 'They are still good even after she learned about my pregnancy?' She had to give it to Sara for sticking up with him! 'The woman is really one of a kind, reason why she probably won Jacob's heart.'

"So Alice, what I want to say is…" Jacob heaved a deep breath and crossed his arms against his chest before adding, "You have to stop whatever it is you're planning. You deserve a better life. Don't be too stubborn to see the truth."

Alice eyed Jacob in shock. She didn't expect that he would be so straightforward.

"Jacob, what are you talking about? I don't understand. I like you, and I'm bearing your child now."

As Alice spoke, she gently stroked her belly with her face full of tenderness.

Meanwhile, Jacob felt slightly helpless. It seemed that no matter what he said, she wouldn't listen to him.
