Ex-wife, Please Come Back

As Jacob saw Alice's trembling body, a frown appeared on his face. "What's wrong, Alice?" he asked with concern.

"Go away. I don't want to see you," Alice replied dismissively. She clutched her head with one head, and she seemed to be in extreme pain.

For some reason, disappointment flashed through Jacob's eyes, but he hid it immediately.

"Don't be like this, Alice." Jacob relaxed his tensed shoulder and heaved a sigh. Truth be told, he was anxious, but he pretended to be calm so as not to add more burden to Alice.

"Cut the crap. I don't want to hear another lie from you. You're satisfied now, aren't you? You know that even if I didn't want to have an abortion, I'm still not able to keep the baby. Didn't you wish that I'd terminate my pregnancy? Well, it seems that your wish came true. Are you happy now?"

Alice spoke with a sardonic smile on her face, making Jacob break a cold sweat on his back. He was crept out by her. 'How could Alice still be in the mood to smile?'

Jacob could not understand Alice anymore. He even felt scared just by looking at her.

After pondering for a moment, he figured out the reason why. He was afraid that Alice would do something stupid. Perhaps she still had not gotten over what had happened and that there was a possibility that she would hurt others.

As Jacob took into consideration his previous experiences with her, he no longer considered her a reasonable woman.

"Alice," Jacob said as he reached out his hand and tried to stop her, "I was wrong. I'm so sorry."

He wondered for a long time if he was one of the reasons why she had a miscarriage.

At first, he believed that this had nothing to do with him. But from what he had heard from the phone call, he had a huge impact on what had happened.

That was the reason why he could not admit to himself that he was innocent and not to be blamed. Jacob was a virtuous man, and he knew he had to own up and admit his mistake.

"Jacob, I just realized that you're actually shameless," Alice said, her lips still curled into a smile.

Jacob fell stunned by her words. In the past, he was ill-tempered and would have been angry at her for tainting his name. But at that moment, he did not care, and just looked at her calmly.

After everything he had been through, he figured out that patience quells conflicts and disputes. Even sensible concessions could be made in a relaxed environment. As a result, Jacob decided not to argue with her.
