Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Thompson loathed Jacob with a passion. He sincerely hoped Jacob would never manage to stage a comeback. That was the only way he could rest assured. And to make this possible, he still needed Alice's assistance.

She could instill guilt in Jacob. Besides, she could embarrass him in public and put him through lots of pain. Nobody could do this like Alice. These were some of the reasons why Thompson chose her as his ally.

"As soon as the news came out, Jacob announced his resignation. Isn't that wonderful?" Thompson asked, his mouth curving into a smile. Listening to this, Alice was in a state of shock.

Once she recovered, she said, "What did you say?" Her face was etched with horror. Yes, it was true she hated Jacob. But she had no intention of spoiling his future.

Despite all this, she wanted Jacob and wished to become entangled with him. His future was of the utmost importance to her. 'Why did he have to resign?' she thought to herself, on the verge of nervous collapse. She would not deny that she was a realistic woman.

It would be difficult to let go of everything she dreamed about. However after what happened, she had no wish to be with Jacob. After all, he had lost everything!

Now her mind went back to the baby in her belly. 'Should I keep this baby?' a voice in her head asked.

All these thoughts were beginning to make her feel dizzy. Thompson had uttered these words so casually. However, these words were her whole life. It meant there was no way back for her!

In the past, even though she confessed she hated Jacob, deep down she hoped they would end up together. She simply wanted to punish him. But now, things were beyond repair.

"He resigned because of you," Thompson said, snapping Alice back from her reverie. He stood in front of her.

Cupping her chin in his hands, he said, "Yes, you did it! Your dear ex-boyfriend has been defeated by you. Aren't you in a mood to celebrate?"

Using all her strength, Alice pushed his hands away. The pain she felt was almost too great to endure. Pleadingly, she said, "Please leave me alone! Get out of here."

Her outburst shocked him. After a few seconds, his expression turned indifferent. He was a man of good temper. However, he couldn't tolerate other people's tantrums.

He always knew this woman had a bad temper. 'No wonder Jacob doesn't like her!' he thought to himself.
