Ex-wife, Please Come Back

The whole room was quieter than before. Alice and Thompson didn't say or do anything for a few minutes. Just then, Thompson felt like smoking. He reasoned that his nerves would become relaxed after a smoke.

But he considered that Alice was pregnant. It wasn't right for a pregnant woman to inhale cigarette smoke. Because of this, he stood up and moved away from her.

As Thompson took out the cigarette, he kept his gaze on Alice. Then he asked politely, "Do you mind?"

In response, Alice shook her head and asked, "If you knew that it wouldn't last long, why did you agree in the first place?"

At that instance, a smile appeared on Thompson's face. His eyes also twinkled. The response he gave her afterwards was one that she would never forget.

"It's very simple. Love could be likened to smoking. Studies have shown that smoking is harmful to the health. This fact is even written clearly on every cigarette box. Nevertheless, there are still many smokers in the world today. The same goes for both of us. We know that no one can completely give up on love. But we still pursue affection relentlessly. We refuse to consider the disadvantages of what we're doing. Isn't it?"

Thompson coughed slightly. This was probably because he was smoking and talking at the same time. The cigarette might have gone into his windpipe.

"You are right. I also never banked on this alliance from the very beginning. But, I still chose to trust you without hesitation. People make irrational decisions when they're in a hurry. I guess this was what happened to me. I didn't think over it before choosing you as my ally. Even so, I don't regret it. At least now I know the kind of person I fell in love with. Our partnership helped me to understand Jacob's personality."

Alice gritted her teeth in hatred. The gentleness she had just shown disappeared within a split second. Now, her blood was boiling.

"Well, I need you to tell me about Jacob's personality. I want to hear the opinion of someone who loved him."

Thompson shook the cigarette ash gently. He was trying to wade off the smoke. But it still lingered in front of him.

Alice bit her lips angrily. She refused to answer his question immediately. Although she knew that Thompson was mocking her, she had nothing now. Because of this, she reasoned that it was best to endure his mockery. Something good might come out of it anyways.

It was probably because of Thompson's ridicule that Alice still felt relaxed. At least someone was there for her to talk to. For a long time, she had shouldered an incomparably heavy burden all by herself.
