Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 408 Take A Trip

Sara noticed later on that Jacob wasn't as narrow-minded as she remembered him to be.

On the contrary, she was the one who was narrow-minded most of the time. The thought of this gave her mixed feelings.

With pursed lips, she glanced over to the sign board above them.

"Fate Restaurant". The name seemed to fit their experience quite well. At the very least, she had originally thought Jacob was her unlucky fate.

She rolled her eyes at how ironic the name sounded. Eventually, Jacob had noticed where she directed her gaze at.

"Don't you think that it suits us well?" he asked. Raising his eyebrows, he peeked over to the side to get a better glimpse of her reaction.

"Are you a mind reader?" Sara coughed and felt her cheeks burning up.

The man's eyes softened as he silently continued to stare back at his wife.

"Do you want to know what I was thinking back then?" His lips curled up to form a wicked smile.

She raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously, wondering if he thought the same thing.

"She must be my unlucky fate." Observing him from the corner of her eye, she stuck out her tongue at him and smirked.

"It looks like you really are my mind reader." Jacob laughed at the comment, but as soon as he noticed her expression he suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

"What are you smirking for? It seems like you thought the same thing." He poked Sara on the side and tickled her. How could she think of him that way?

He couldn't stand the thought of it.

At the same time, the woman suddenly ran away in a hurry.

After distancing herself several meters away, Jacob felt helpless as Sara stared at him mischievously.

"Let's stop talking about me. Didn't you say so yourself? We're even."

She gave him a shrug as her expression towards him softened.

"Okay. Fine." The reserve tone in his words suddenly caught her off guard. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"What the hell?" She walked up to him as if she was going to give him some beating while he let out a soft chuckle.

"Honey, I just remembered that our flight will be leaving in an hour. We have to hurry up if you don't want us to miss it." His lips formed a smirk as he enjoyed the moment teasing her as the woman looked at him incredulously.

"What? Why are you only telling me this now?" she hissed.

Jacob held her hand and smiled. "I didn't want to force you."

She was at a loss for words. After blinking a few times at him, she quickly dashed inside the restaurant.

There was a big shift in her mood from last time. She heaved a sigh of relief while he continued to maintain a smile on his face.

Jacob couldn't really explain it, but most of his sorrows melted away as long as he saw the woman in front of him.

It didn't matter if there were still some that remained. He was able to bear it.

Sara was like a cure to his disease. She could see the gentleness in his eyes as he fixed his eyes on her.

"Wait for me," he said.

Much to his surprise, his wife only turned around and gave him an eye-roll. "No, I won't."

He stared silently at her with his mouth agape. 'Who on earth has spoiled this woman?' It was no question that he was the only person to blame.

Sara was his wife. She was the love of his life. Therefore, he definitely had to spoil her. If he didn't, who else would?

Like a lost puppy, he followed her around as if he was scared that she would suddenly disappear. He directed a glance over to her before he started muttering, "I really can't do anything with you."

As if she suddenly heard something, Sara turned around.

"What did you just say?" She narrowed her eyes at him and let out a low grumble.

Even the waiter who stood in front of her didn't know what to say.

Jacob, on the other hand, hurriedly walked over to her.

"I just said that my wife is hungry so we better get some dinner soon. Stop being mad already," he coaxed.

As he shook her shoulder, she couldn't help but laugh.

"What's wrong?" he frowned. His expression looked confused. It was then that Sara had realized that she had fallen into his trap.

"Nothing. Everything's fine. Waiter!" The waiter tried to stifle a laugh and hurriedly approached the couple as she waved him over.

Seeing this, Jacob couldn't help but frown.

However, he did not attempt to blame the waiter while his wife was sitting in front of him.

If he did this, it would just remind her how narrow-minded he was. It wasn't until now that he had realized that he was completely under her control.

"Alright. Let's order," she told him. Jacob mumbled discontentedly. He really couldn't believe that they were going on a trip.

At first, he honestly had no idea. Knowing that he would be devoting a lot of his time to the new company later on, there would probably not be any leisure time left.

That meant that he would be having less time to be with Sara for a while. This included their personal time together, particularly their romantic moments.

Truthfully be told, he was already too old to talk about love. He couldn't accept that fact, though. If he did, it meant that he acknowledged himself as being old.

In fact, he still felt young. It might be a little exaggerating for him to talk about love, but he still wanted to do other things based on it.

It was without a doubt that behind a man's success was a woman who silently sacrificed herself for him.

Once they were done with dinner, Jacob took Sara's hand and boarded the plane. They had been together for a long time now, yet he still had never taken her out.

The farthest they had ever been to was only around the city. Sara had never counted it as an actual trip.

After all, they only did that to be able to fulfill their obligations as a couple back then.

As he stood by the gate and watched his wife step on board, he reminded himself to leave other matters behind for a while.

When they finally got situated on their seats, he relaxed himself leisurely and fixed his eyes at the evening sky outside the window.

Sara was leaning on her seat when her eyes went shut and her breathing had eventually evened out. Jacob had kept an eye on her from time to time as she peacefully drifted off to sleep.

He noticed that her eyes were half opened. Since her eyes were too big, the bulging circles around her orbs were clearly visible even if they were closed.

A soft smile formed on his lips as he reached out to her face to smoothen out her hair when he caught a whiff of her scent.

As her fragrance filled his nose, he couldn't help but inch closer to her as he sniffed like a greedy child.

Suddenly, she flinched and twisted her body slightly to the side, causing Jacob to immediately sit up straight. He acted like nothing out of the ordinary happened while he turned his head little by little to get a glimpse of her from the side.

Seeing that she continued to sleep peacefully, he wasn't able to control the quiet sigh that escaped his mouth. He closed his eyes for a second and took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself down. Once he opened them again and turned to her, he found her now staring at him.

Seeing Sara wide awake scared the living daylights out of him. He unconsciously backed off and found himself unable to move from his seat.
