Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 439 Shameless Request

The scene was gradually becoming ugly. Jacob could see that Sara was boiling with anger. Just then, he reached out his hand to stop her. When she looked back at him, he shook his head. This was to discourage her from acting on impulse.

"I wish you a happy married life," Jacob said as he looked at Jonathan with firmness in his eyes. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Alice stared at Jacob in shock. 'No, that's not what he's supposed to say! He had clearly persuaded me to leave Jonathan just now, '

At that instance, Alice's eyes were filled with despair. Her expression showed that she was shocked and sad at the same time. 'Did my wedding to his cousin not annoy him? Why is he acting so cool?'

"Jacob is very generous. Well, I won't give him a hard time." Jonathan's face darkened when he heard his cousin's response. He felt like Jacob was the one humiliating him at that moment.

Things weren't going as he had planned. Jonathan wanted to embarrass Jacob today. But the result was the exact opposite. And this was already very embarrassing for Alice. He could tell from the frown on her face. Besides, all that he had said didn't sound like he was praising his bride. Rather, it seemed like he was making a mockery of her.

The guests were all silent. They watched the unfolding drama before them. Most of them had their lips slightly parted in shock. But none of them could pinpoint what exactly was wrong.

"Jacob, I want to leave now." Sara was not pleased with what was happening. But she didn't blame Jacob. Her anger was because of Jonathan's tone and expression. Deep down in her heart, she hated him so much.

'What did Jacob do wrong? Why should he be interrogated at their wedding? They are biting more than they can chew!' Sara thought angrily.

Noticing the frown on Sara's face, Jacob looked at her affectionately. Then, he asked in a soft voice, "Honey, what's wrong?"

"I just think these two are stepping out of line. Who do they think they are to question you like this?" Sara paused. Her anger was gradually surmounting. Indeed, she was pissed with the audacity of this couple.

"Well, let's go then." Jacob smiled at his beloved woman. Then, he placed his arm on her shoulder and they walked out. At that moment, Sara felt warm in her heart.

She knew that he was also in a bad mood now. She didn't mean to give him a hard time. But Sara just felt that the humiliation was uncalled for. Surprisingly, he had remained calm. And she admired him for that.

As they walked out of the hotel, Jacob breathed a sigh of relief as he stared tenderly at Sara. Being by her side brought him peace. He was only able to put up with the embarrassment back there because she was with him. When Jacob inhaled the air outside, he felt that it was fresher than the one inside the hotel. Perhaps it was because the toxic couple was no longer around him.

"Let's go home." They continued to walk to the parking lot without looking back. Suddenly, Jacob heard a clear voice from behind.

"Jacob," Alice screamed as she stared jealously at their back. Meanwhile, Jonathan stood at a distance and watched them indifferently.

Jacob stopped and turned to look at her. His eyebrows were furrowed. And his expression clearly showed that he was displeased.

"Jacob, are you leaving now?" Alice asked in a wail. She was tugging at her white wedding dress like a child who was just abandoned. As she did that, she stared ferociously at Sara.

'I am supposed to be the most beautiful woman today. Everyone's attention is supposed to be on me! But this wench stole my shine. She overshadowed me on my wedding day!' Alice felt so bitter as she thought of how things panned out. The hatred she felt for Sara continued to increase. But what pained her the most was Jacob's countenance.

His calmness and indifference made Alice's heart ache severely. It was as if he was breaking up with her all over again.

"Do you regret what you just said?" Alice looked at him with firmness and hope in her eyes. She really wanted to hear a positive answer.

"This is up to you. But I still hope you can think this through. This isn't child's play, you know." Jacob glanced at Jonathan as he answered his ex-girlfriend without mincing words.

"I am ready to abandon all these and go with you. Just say that you want me. I... I feel that my life would be incomplete without you. Jacob, you are my better half. No one else can take your place in my heart."

Hot tears welled up in Alice's eyes. She still loved him deeply. However, this man didn't belong to her anymore.

Just now, when she saw the way he had looked at Sara, she knew that everything was all over. It dawned on her that he would never be hers again.

Alice had never seen such tenderness in his eyes before. Today was the very first time. Her heart sank to her stomach as she remembered the past. All those years that they dated, Jacob had never looked at her like that. Not even once!

Jacob cautioned her to stop talking by stretching out his hand in the air. As she stood there, Sara kept mute. But she was pleased with the way he was handling the situation.

"That's it, Alice. I have already forgotten about the memories that we shared. In fact, I have moved on. We have talked about this before. It is high time you move on with your life. I just hope that you can be good in the future. Stop causing more troubles. You will only make things hard for both of us."

Jacob frowned at Alice as he reprimanded her. Jonathan just watched the whole scenario quietly from where he stood.

"My love. Why don't you care about me anymore? We were deeply in love, weren't we? Have you forgotten that we promised to be together forever?"

Alice held up her dress as she tried to run towards him.

But Jacob said immediately, "Alice can you be reasonable? You are humiliating yourself. Do you know that your actions aren't affecting me? Get a grip on yourself!"

Alice was stunned by his words. She suddenly stopped in her tracks as she stared at him with wide eyes. From his outburst, it was very obvious that she was the only one holding on to the past. Jacob had clearly gotten over her. But she was still obsessed with him.

"From today onwards, I will be someone else's wife. Please, can you just hug me one last time? I want to remember how it feels forever." Tears rolled down Alice's cheeks as she stretched out her hands before her.

She just stood there and begged for a hug not minding that Sara was there. This was the first time that she was making such a shameless request. Never had she imagined that she would stoop this low. But she just couldn't help it.

Even after Sara heard Alice's shameless request, she remained unmoved. She had a serious expression on her face as she watched the whole drama. Instead of commenting, she looked at her man with certainty in her eyes.

The four of them just stood there without saying anything. And the words Alice had just said were swept away by the wind.

Several seconds passed before Alice finally put down her hands. With a disappointed look on her face, she turned around. Then, Jacob held Sara's hand and they left.

Alice bowed her head as she continued to cry profusely.

The love of her life was already gone. And this tore her heart into a thousand pieces. When she looked up, Alice noticed that Jonathan had been standing behind her. He was staring at her viciously.

"What's wrong? Are you so sad because your lover left?" Jonathan asked as he gave her a condescending look. He was displeased with her actions.

'This woman is very cheap. Such a slut! How can she try to cheat on me even at our wedding?' Jonathan stared at Alice with bloodshot eyes. His appearance was so scary and he looked as if he was going to tear her into pieces.

"I..."

Alice stepped backwards when she saw the anger in his eyes. Jonathan now looked different from how he used to be while they were dating.

In the past, even if Jonathan knew that she still loved Jacob, he never said anything about it. She had thought he understood that she couldn't get over his cousin easily because of the years she spent with him. But now, Jonathan was looking like the exact opposite of his former self. In fact, he glared at her like a devil.

Alice widened her eyes in horror as she continued to look at her groom.

"Ermm... When did you come out?" Alice stuttered fearfully. It dawned on her that Jonathan must have heard all that she had just said. Because she was beclouded by her emotions, she didn't know that he was standing behind her.

This meant that she wasn't just embarrassing herself before Sara. But also, in front of Jonathan. To worsen it all, she had shamelessly begged Jonathan's greatest enemy for a hug at their wedding. 'I'm in big trouble. Oh! I don't think he would take it lightly with me!' she thought fearfully.

"Alice, there is something important that I may not have told you clearly. But I will do that now. You have to be careful of what you do after we get married. I don't give a damn about your love history. And if you dare betray me in the future, I will make you regret your actions. Take this as a gentle warning. Don't let anything like this repeat itself again!"

Jonathan slowly approached Alice until his face was almost touching hers. Her whole body shook like a jellyfish. At that moment, she had no idea if it was because she was just afraid or she was falling sick.

"I understand. I won't behave like that again," Alice replied humbly. Her arrogant self suddenly disappeared. She quivered under Jonathan's aura.

It was obvious that he blamed her for what just happened. Besides, he had watched everything. He knew that his bride was the one throwing herself at his enemy. Therefore, Alice swallowed her pride and apologized.

"This is the first and the last warning. Don't ever repeat it. Go back to the hotel now. And don't forget that you are Mrs. Jonathan of the Shi Group now. If the paparazzi had taken any photos that would drag my name to the mud, I won't be as merciful as Jacob to let you go freely!"

Jonathan bellowed. His hot breath blew on Alice's face. And her hair flew back. At that moment he looked like a thug. This made Alice more scared than before.

It just dawned on her that she had jumped from frying pan to fire. 'What have I gotten myself into? This man is scaring me to death.' Alice gnashed her teeth as this thought flashed through her mind. She didn't dare to look at him in the face. She just bowed her head until he went back to the hotel.
