Ex-wife, Please Come Back

With a sigh, James remarked, "The truth is, things are there for a reason. It's useless to feel anxious and scared. Besides, all you can do is endure it until the very end. Endure the blows. Endure everyone's expectations. Endure whatever you have to endure."

Jacob lowered his head to the ground. He was unsure if he had heard of that too many times already. Although he had already heard of this a lot of times, he still could not live a good life, could he?

"Uncle, why do I feel that living is exhausting?"

Jacob shifted the topic. Before they knew it, it had returned to that troublesome question again.

Yes, he indeed felt exhausted. His faith, which had supported him for a long time, seemed to be on the brink of collapse, and it was only a matter of time before that happened.

"Well, isn't this the life we love?" James narrowed his eyes and answered. With Jacob's ability, he should have already known the answer to that.

Although James' response was only to help Jacob be reassured, he was willing to say it out. After all, Jacob was the last and the only family he had in the world.

"Uncle, what will you do if the person you love the most betrays you?" Jacob asked with bloodshot eyes.

His voice was low and calm when he spoke, but it made James extremely astonished.

"What do you mean, Jacob?" James asked with his lips trembling. He seemed to be a little afraid of something.

With an inexplicable expression on his face, Jacob looked at James and answered, "It's nothing, Uncle. Just forget what I said just now."

Jacob stood up and went upstairs. At that moment, he felt disappointed in his uncle. Until now, James was still hiding it from him.

Well, if James remained silent, they would be the same as before. However, once he said it out loud, they would not be able to go back to the way it was. If that happened, Jacob would be inevitably sad.

The bottom line was not saying it. Even if the truth was unbearable, they had no choice but to go through with it.
