Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 434 Finally Understood

"I used to believe that being with Jacob would make me happy. However, I've recently realized that this isn't the situation. And now I consider that allowing myself to be pleased is the most positive thing I can do."

On the table, Alice grabbed a glass of wine and took a sip nonstop. It was because she lost her relationship with Jacob that she became an alcoholic. Despite the doctor's advice not to drink alcohol of any kind, Alice persisted in drinking.

Jonathan kept his smile hidden as he gazed blankly at Alice. Even before that, Jonathan had assumed Alice was a woman who prioritized love above all else.

Hence, Jonathan treated Alice with contempt at the time. Since she was sentimental, he believed she couldn't do something earth-shattering. Jonathan, on the other hand, realized that Alice had been very sober at this stage.

Her decisions were not taken in a glum way but rather with meticulous planning. Her willingness to carry out these actions was most likely driven by her own interests.

Jonathan's lips twitched at the corners. He wished he could say more, but he couldn't. Alice was, in truth, the very same type of individual as he was.

They can both use any tactic to fulfill their goals. Jonathan fought the urge to say something more.

'It's suspicious that I can't tell what you're thinking, ' Jonathan pondered. His expression was unusually serious. He intensified his curiosity about the woman in front of him.

Thompson's remarks to Jonathan may have been meant to restrain him from overthinking matters.

According to Thompson, Alice was a woman who valued love above all else. That was why she wedded him. Momentarily, with a convincing smile, Jonathan stared at Alice.

Every connection in this world was prepared ahead of time. They either savored love or enjoyed the benefits from others.

Many people would suffer in vain if this were not the reality. They had to stop engaging forever with one another unless they could receive affection and other perks.

People were rivals primarily because they did not profit from the actions of others.

"Has the wedding date been set? I need to double-check the time." Alice caressed the lovely ring on her tiny finger.

The ring had an aloof feel to it. Despite the glamorous ring on her finger, Alice kept silent and unbothered.
