Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"What? Did you just say that Jonathan had abused Alice during their wedding day? How could he do that to his newly wedded wife?" She gasped.

The news caused her to suddenly sit up straight. She had no doubts on what Jacob just told her.

On the other hand, her husband cocked a brow in surprise. It was as if the woman in front of him was a stranger.

Noticing his odd stare, she raised her own eyebrows and looked straight into his eyes.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" She looked absolutely clueless as she immediately touched her face and tried to wipe it.

Alice's situation had genuinely worried her. After all, Jacob was partly responsible for the woman's misfortune.

"No, it's not that. I just thought you wouldn't care about her. After all, she had hurt you before," he replied.

His expression immediately softened and his tone wasn't as lighthearted as before.

"What she did was indeed unforgivable. However, after such a long time, I honestly feel a little bit grateful to her," she mused.

A sudden pause came afterwards. Jacob felt like she was bracing herself before saying her next words. "She made me understand what kind of life I want to live. Because of her, I was able to see your true heart," she continued to explain.

Jacob breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, perhaps I should be thanking her too. I can't do anything about what happened to her now, though. I can't just simply go to Jonathan and meddle in their business."

Sara furrowed her brows, seriously considering what he said. "Even if you wanted to go and see him, you need to have a good reason for doing so. Besides, that plan may not work that easy."

"Yeah. I've got nothing to do about it. I just hope that she can get out of that mess as soon as possible." He shrugged.

Sara nodded and flashed him a small smile before resting her head on his shoulder. The pair quietly sat on the sofa, savoring the time they had together being wrapped in one another's arms. Time had seemed to stop around them and it was as if they were the only two beings that mattered at the moment.
