Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Nobody dared to speak, not even Sara. She knew better than to dissuade the two of them. Besides, this matter was only between the two men. She should not step in and interfere in it. She knew her boundaries and that she should not get involved in their affairs.

James turned his head and forced a smile. "Jacob, no matter what you think of me, this is my choice. I'm sorry that I disappointed you and left such an impression. The truth is, I've always been a complete coward. I'm not as strong as you think I am."

As soon as James finished speaking, he picked up his suitcase and was about to leave. He felt that he could no longer stay there, even for a second.

Many eyes were on him, and it felt as though they were laughing at his every move. He could not tolerate those gazes anymore. He was a dignified man. He could not let those people gossip about him and taint his name.

"Jacob..." Sara could not help but comfort him, who was crestfallen and at a loss. However, he just ignored her.

"Dad!" Jacob shouted. On his forehead was a slight trickle of sweat most probably due to anxiety and dejection.

"What? What did you call Uncle James just now?" Sara asked, her eyes widened in disbelief. Did Jacob mean what he said? It felt as though what he had said was a bolt from the blue.

No wonder Jacob kept it from her. It also explained why James had to leave. Everything was so confusing, but Sara felt that things were finally falling into place.

"Jacob, as a man, I hope you can respect my decision. Don't worry. I've thought it through over and over again, and this is the result. I'm sorry that I didn't set a good example for you."

James's lips were still curled into a smile yet everyone could see that his eyes were filled with tears.

If Jacob left James unfriendly words to drive him away, the latter would definitely not be able to hold back his tears. Fortunately, Jacob did not say anything.

Perhaps he understood how painful it was to be apart from the person he loved. That was why he tried his best to hold back his sadness and instead show that he was strong.

Before Jacob came there, he had known how determined James already was. However, he still dreamt about something.
