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.

Alice gazed at everyone in surprise and realized that she came at the wrong time today. But she had no one else to vent her frustration on but Thompson.

"Why are there so many people?" Alice roamed her eyes around everyone, nodding at them to acknowledge their presence.

Simultaneously, Thompson introduced them to her, to which Alice responded with a smile while shaking their hands.

With Thompson by her side, she knew she had a strong support system. After so many years of facing different challenges, Alice had transformed into a courageous and confident woman. Whoever said that she was a good-for-nothing probably had never seen her in social gatherings.

After greeting everyone and settling to a seat, her belly was even more eye-catching.
