Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 407 Turning Point

When Jacob returned home, Sara was already there. As soon as he entered the villa, he was greeted with the sight of packed bags. He looked around him in surprise.

Meanwhile, Sara was instructing the staff to help carry the luggage. Jacob walked over to her and gently put his hand on her shoulder. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"How did everything go today?" Sara asked with concern.

Jacob nodded at her, a happy smile on his face.

"Not bad, though Jonathan still made things difficult for me," Jacob said.

Sara pinched Jacob's arm nervously. She had a worried expression on her face.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. He didn't see me at all. But, I'm glad for it. He only gave me a small number of shares. I don't expect to make a fortune out of them, but they're better than nothing."

The smile on Jacob's face never faltered. The best thing was that he could finally start over. Of course, starting over didn't mean all that much to him.

The most important thing was that he had Sara by his side. As long as she was with him, everything would be fine.

Nobody else seemed to matter as much. Jacob had never taken anyone else seriously. 'Is Jonathan strong?' Jacob couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, what's happening? What are all these people doing?" Jacob asked, gesturing at the people who were moving in and out while hauling luggage and bags.

"Since you said that you wanted to move here before, I hired a moving company to move our things here. It was supposed to be a surprise for you."

Sara paused for a while and rested her hands on her hips.

"I know we can buy all these things, but I prefer the ones I already have. They have sentimental value. I don't want to replace them."

Sara smiled, but her tone was very matter-of-fact.

Jacob couldn't help but nod. "You should have told me earlier. I would have come back to help you. It must be hard for you to do all of these things alone."

Sara could see the concern in his eyes. Jacob worried about Sara's wellbeing more than he did about anything else.

"Well, I know what you mean. But, everything's been settled. By the way, Winnie will also move here. But, she won't come today because it all happened so fast."

Sara skillfully changed the topic. She knew that Jacob would want to talk about Winnie. Jacob had told her several times that he would bring Winnie here.

Jacob held Sara tightly. He looked at her, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"I have trained my wife to become such a considerate person." Jacob smiled smugly, feeling satisfied with how Sara was acting.

Sara rolled her eyes at Jacob. "Ha! Don't flatter yourself. I was born this way."

Jacob said nothing more, smiling at Sara's words. He could feel genuine joy bubble up from the bottom of his heart. He wasn't used to feeling that way.

Perhaps he would meet many more people in his lifetime, but he knew none of them could ever compare to Sara.

It was like when Alice had left. She thought that she was bound to meet someone better and more interesting, but she didn't know that she had already found the best person for her. She realized it too late.

Now, she was forced to face the consequences of her choice, but she didn't want to admit it.

"As a reward for being such a capable wife, I have decided to invite you to have dinner with me."

Jacob smiled mysteriously. Sara looked puzzled.

"Well, where are we going to eat?" Hearing that Jacob invited her to have dinner with him, Sara agreed happily.

For most women, there was no problem in the world that could not be solved by having a big meal. If by some coincidence there was, then two meals would do.

Of course, Sara was no ordinary woman. But, she did enjoy having the one she loved wine and dine her.

The couple sent the staff of the moving company away and headed out on their date.

Having made up his mind on where to go, Jacob drove straight to the airport.

With mixed feelings, Sara gazed at the scenery that whipped past them. Suddenly, the area seemed familiar. She gripped the car seat and looked around her.

"Where are we going? Are we not going out for dinner?" Sara turned her head to look at Jacob in confusion.

"You'll know when we get there," Jacob said, smiling mysteriously.

Sara stared at Jacob in a daze. He had the perfect face. She would never grow tired of looking at him. For Jacob, perhaps his face was his greatest asset.

The world judged people based on their looks. Jacob, with his fine features, would be able to get by on looks alone. However, he chose to rely on his talent.

Jacob parked his car on the side of the road facing the airport. He looked over at Sara.

"I just want to give you the best." Jacob took Sara in his arms. He deeply wanted to give her the best that life could offer.

Jacob knew that he owed her too much. He vowed to make up for everything he had done to her for the rest of their lives together.

He knew that his future would be secure as long as she was in it. Thinking of this, Jacob put his arm around Sara's shoulder.

"What do you mean?" Sara's heart skipped a beat. She was confused. What was Jacob going to do?

"You'll find out later." Jacob took Sara by the hand and together, they walked towards the inside of the airport.

Sara was a little scared, but a thought hovered in her mind. And, it was constantly hovering.

"Madam, I want to buy two tickets to the next flight to Sri Lanka."

When they got to the desk, Jacob handed over two passports and ID cards. Sara's eyes widened a little bit.

Sara had been yearning for a spontaneous trip, but it was too much of a luxury for her. She shook off her shock and waited for Jacob to finish buying the airline tickets.

She felt that Jacob had really changed. He had grown to be more mature and more caring.

Sara felt like she was in a dream. Although too many things had happened recently, Jacob still wanted to whisk her away to their own little getaway.

She leaned against him contentedly. It would be good for the two of them to have some time alone together.

Ever since they had expressed their love for one another, Sara felt that their relationship had plateaued. It was as if they had hit a speed bump.

Perhaps the time was right for them to take things to the next level. Sara saw that Jacob took the airline tickets and walked to the chair in the lounge nearby.

"I will take you to the restaurant where we first met." Jacob gazed outside the airport windows and took in the darkness of the night. He didn't expect that the two of them would end up like this. When they first met, he had a completely different idea of who she was.

The day that they met, he had already made up his mind. She was just a woman who loved money more than she did her own life.

This was what he thought of Sara for a long time.

It had been the biggest misunderstanding between the two of them, and Sara knew that Jacob was still in love with another woman back then.

Their relationship had begun with a contract, and it eventually ended with a contract, too. Jacob casually put his hand on Sara's shoulder. He felt very calm.

Seeing that Jacob had nothing in his hand, Sara was speechless.

Since Jacob kept her in the dark about their trip, she did not prepare anything, which made her feel embarrassed.

Jacob took a look at Sara and held her hand.

"Let's go have dinner." Jacob looked down at his watch. It was still early.

From that moment forward, Jacob just wanted to leave all of the unpleasant things in the past and do his best to make Sara happy. Although his own happiness seemed to be far away, Jacob felt contented as long as he was with Sara.

Perhaps that was what Sara thought, too.

Jacob led Sara towards the restaurant outside. Sara followed behind him like a puppet on a string. It was not until she stood at the door of the restaurant that the memories came flooding into her mind.

This was the restaurant where Sara had dinner with Jacob for the first time. It was an unforgettable day.

At that time, Jacob had deliberately ordered only two dishes. Sara could sense he was being difficult on purpose. Because of that, she thought of him as a stingy man.
