Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Jonathan moved towards Alice, sat next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder.

Her eyes glanced to the side for a second as she tried her best to hide her disdain.

She hated how he touched her, yet she couldn't freely show it. After all, the man's sudden behavior was too creepy that it had rendered her speechless.

She actually didn't know how to respond to him, seeing as his hand still remained firmly on her shoulder. Aside from that, she could feel his heavy breathing uncomfortably touching her face.

"Please, Mr. Jonathan. We are out in public and others could see us," Alice said as she gave him an awkward smile.

Thompson had noticed that Alice was obviously not comfortable with the man so he cleared his throat to get his attention.

"Alright, Mr. Jonathan. Alice hasn't been feeling well recently so it would be nice if you would be more considerate with her." After saying this, relief had washed over her eyes as she looked at him with gratitude.

"He's right. My health hasn't been good lately so I would appreciate it if you would stop making things so difficult," she quickly added. Hoping that Jonathan would get the point, she looked at him with pleading eyes.

It seemed as if her prayers had been answered when the man finally let go and said, "That's what I always do when I see beautiful women like you. Please don't take it to heart, Alice."

Although she had managed to smile while she nodded at him, her eyes were filled with disgust. She didn't like him at all and his words made her sick.

Even so, what was left of her sanity told her that she'd better put up with it.

She had chosen this path. Therefore, it was expected that she would be aware with the kind of person and situation she had to face. After all, they still had a long way to go.

If she would not be able to handle the current situation, she most definitely wouldn't be cut out for the future ones. Her future was on the line, so she needed to be brave enough to face her current predicament.

Suddenly, her thoughts had wandered off to Jacob. 'Would he feel even a little bit heartbroken if he discovered that I had made such a choice?'
