Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Thompson had always disliked Jacob. There were many reasons for this––ranging from the latter's social life to how he would always treat other people.

It was impossible that this matter had nothing to do with him. Yet, he was not worried about that at all, because he knew Alice was too prideful to tell him about it.

"Alice!" Thompson walked up and greeted her warmly.
