Ex-wife, Please Come Back

The journey was a long and tiring one. Jacob and Sara were already worn out. However, by the time Jacob parked at the gate of the villa, the tiredness was replaced with the joy of arriving their destination. Both of them heaved a sigh of relief. Jacob turned and looked at Sara. He saw that she was also delighted that they were finally home.

After getting out of the car, Jacob opened the door for her. And they walked into the magnificent villa.

The villa still smelled like a new house. Jacob couldn't fathom the reason. But the air was smelling like a mixture of paint and wood. It was as if no one was living there yet.

He frowned and pushed open the entrance door. "I think we would have to come here occasionally. The house smells like no one has lived here before. It feels really strange. Let's make it a habit of visiting here from time to time."

Sara nodded and leaned against him. Then they both entered the living room.

They both sat on the sofa and stretched their legs. Just then, Jacob's phone rang. When he looked at the caller, it was James. He arched his eyebrows as he stared at the buzzing phone.

For a few seconds, the phone kept ringing out loud. This made Sara confused and she stared at him with wide eyes. 'Why is Jacob not answering his phone? Did anything happen again?' she thought.

After hesitating for a few more seconds, Jacob reluctantly pressed the receive button. To be honest, Sara was shocked by his action. She had never seen him do that before. This made several thoughts flash through her mind.

As she stared at him, she noticed that Jacob's eyebrows were furrowed. And he slightly bent his lips downwards. He had a displeased look on his face. At the same time, his expression was complicated. Jacob looked as if he was enveloped in some kind of sadness. His eyes were not as bright as before.

Sara swallowed uneasily. The atmosphere suddenly felt tense. But she remained mute as he spoke on the phone.

Then it dawned on her that Jacob might be keeping something away from her. Unfortunately, Sara couldn't pinpoint what exactly it was. Even though she racked her brain, all she thought of was vague.

Jacob said calmly, "Uncle, what is the matter?"

Meanwhile, James sat on a bench at the noisy airport. He stared at the faces of the travelers as he tried to relax his nerves.

"Jacob, didn't I tell you that I would embark on a trip? Well, I am leaving today. I'm already at the airport and my flight leaves soon."

Hearing this, Jacob felt as if his heart was about to explode. 'No! How can things end this way?

He didn't even wait for me to show him love. I haven't even shown him filial piety. Even though I can't call him Dad, he deserves my respect and more. Why is he leaving now?' Jacob thought to himself.

Although James said that it was just a short trip, he still felt uneasy. Jacob's mind told him that he would be gone for a long time. It felt as if James would never return.

Jacob had a strong feeling. His instincts were never wrong. 'There was no tangible reason why he should leave now. Was there?
