Ex-wife, Please Come Back
Chapter 333 Let's Relax And Enjoy Ourselves

James spoke lightly, but his heart was incomparably calmer. Everyone has the right to choose the way they want to live. Jacob was not an exception to that. There was no need for him to make any sacrifices just because he was the heir to the Shi Group. Perhaps one had to make a sacrifice for the sake of their family business, but James would never ask Jacob for it. After all, he would do everything as long as he knew his desires and was positive in life.

"Thank you, Uncle. Don't worry, I promise to follow my heart and try my best to deal with the company's affairs." Jacob finally loosened his grip and returned to his usual indifferent look.

"When will you remarry Sara? If you have time, you should go see your mother-in-law often, so your father-in-law will have a better impression of you."

James coughed a bit after he spoke. Truth be told, he had always cared about Jacob's happiness, even if he did not speak of it.

He treated Jacob like his own son. Jacob had always been such an excellent man, and James was grateful for it. It was a good thing to have him in his life.

With his back leaning against the chair, Jacob gave a dream-like smile and answered, "I know, Uncle. I can't wait to marry her again. But for some reason, I feel that it's not the right time yet. I've mentioned this to Sara, and she feels the same way too. It's just a ceremony anyway. It probably won't even affect our relationship."

James nodded in agreement and replied, "That may be the case, but just to be sure, I think that you should still remarry her. If you don't, she won't be your wife. I'm afraid that somebody will know and gossip about it. I'm sure you won't let that happen. You were very sorry for Sara before, weren't you?"

"Yes, I was. I've done a lot of horrible things, and that's what I'm most worried about. But it should be fine. Sara will understand. If she doesn't forgive me, I'm going to ask for her forgiveness for the rest of my life anyway."

Jacob smiled, but his smile was lonely and desolate. He should not have said those things that would only make James sad.

Nevertheless, Jacob felt that that topic was not something he could avoid.

"Cherish her then. Some people think that love comes many times. They're wrong. True love only comes once in a lifetime. No matter how many people they meet, it's not love if it is not with the person they're destined to be with." James sighed upon hearing what he had said. Jacob had really grown.

"I know. Thank you for reminding me, Uncle. I appreciate it. Anyway, I'd like to talk with you about Cindy." Jacob frowned. Only he and James knew about what had happened.

"What's wrong with her?" James' eyes narrowed slightly, and the wrinkles on his face showed themselves, especially the ones at the corners of his eyes. He looked as if he aged ten years in an instant.

"Well, I can see that she feels very guilty about the file. She works harder than she used to. I've been considering if I should tell her the truth or not. I'm very conflicted."

Jacob propped his hand on the desk as he pondered for a while. It seemed a risky move if he told her about the matter. He could not take that big of a risk.

"Forget it. Just stay silent. No matter how guilty Cindy is, it's her own choice. It's not your fault. Of course, you can give her some comfort at work, but that's all. You don't have to tell her."

James' face darkened. If Jacob told her, he would be at a disadvantage. The best solution was not to tell Cindy. They could never let her know about it.

"I know, Uncle. I think so too. I just feel that I've done something wrong. On second thought, right and wrong are not absolute. I'm just cautious. I don't want to deceive anyone, much less lie, on purpose." Jacob breathed a sigh of relief and tapped the table with his fingers. James looked at him and smiled reassuringly.

"Well, if you don't need anything else, I'll go first. Remember, don't be impulsive. If you have anything in mind, just call me. As long as I'm here, I'll always do my best to help you."

James clutched his hand into a fist and gently tapped it on his chest. It was a gesture of reassurance for Jacob.

The latter bowed his head in response. As he did so, tears welled up in his eyes.

A family must always be willing to help their members unconditionally. But sometimes, they do not help each other even in the face of a crisis.

Therefore, Jacob was lucky that he could traverse on such a road and meet such a dependable person like James during his life's journey.

Looking at James' receding figure, he finally cheered up. He became more at ease and determined. For the sake of Sara and his uncle, he must manage the company well and keep it running.

Of course, he must do it for himself as well. He loved his career, and his passion could be seen from his hard work over the years. If he did not love it, he would not have worked so hard in the first place. That kind of love was also valuable and valid. He had finally understood his position and even found someone who was on the same boat as him. His views about his career had changed since then. Clang! Clang! Clang!

Jacob's phone rang, but the ringtone was different. He thought for a moment and realized that Sara must have changed the ringtone. It might be childish of her, but Jacob did not mind at all. "Hello, is this Noah? What's up?" Jacob asked in a calm tone. He had been busy these past few months that he did not have time to catch up with Noah.

"Yes, I am. Jacob, are you busy?" Noah asked in his usually energetic voice.

"Yes. I just finished my work actually. I didn't have time to contact people around me," Jacob explained. He felt the need to say it so others would know what he had been up to.

"Well, I was planning to hold a dinner party later. I just called to invite you and Sara." Noah's voice sounded a little disappointed. He did not want to disturb Jacob's hectic schedule.

"No problem. Sara and I should be able to come. We don't have anything to do tonight," Jacob agreed without a second thought.

On the other end of the line, Noah was astounded. "What? Did I hear it wrong? You agreed immediately?"

"No, you heard right. Is there a problem? I've just been so busy that I haven't attended parties for a long time. Sara must be feeling bored already. I think it's better for her to hang out with her friends once in a while." Jacob crossed his legs as he spoke. He used to be rigid and stern because that was how he was expected to act in the company. But now, he did not care so much anymore.

"Ha-ha! That's awesome. That's all. See you later." Because Jacob had agreed to come, Noah was delighted.

As soon as he hung up the phone, Jacob continued to deal with the documents that he had not finished reading yet. Compared to earlier, his heart was at peace.

As long as he was with Sara, he was in bliss. As a matter of fact, he was looking forward to attending the party later. Well, actually, he just wanted a reason to be with Sara, and the dinner party seemed to be a perfect one.

For Jacob, the best way to kill time was to have fun with the person he loved. He would be happy wherever he went as long as Sara was by his side.

In the afternoon, he called her and picked her up at the entrance of the company. "I'll take you to a place I'm sure you'll love. But before I do, do you want to go home and change clothes first? Nevertheless, you look stunning no matter what you wear," he said mysteriously. Sara looked at him in astonishment. He was getting better at saying cheesy lines. It made her wonder if there was something wrong with his brain. He was so cold and indifferent before!

She leaned against the back of the seat. With her hair spread all over, she looked charming and sweet.

"Let's go home first. Aren't we going to eat in the meantime?" she asked while rubbing her empty stomach. She even swallowed hard, which showed that she must be so hungry already.

"Why? There'll be food later. Just so you know, I will never let you be hungry." Jacob snapped his fingers and his lips curled into a mysterious smile.

Sara was taken aback, but she had no objection to his words.

"Where are we going? Why are you being so mysterious?" Sara asked with a slight frown. As minutes passed, she became more and more curious regarding their destination.

"Noah is going to hold a dinner party. He asked us to go. Didn't you say that you've been bored for a long time? Don't worry, we're going to have lots of fun in the future. For now, let's relax and enjoy ourselves,"

Jacob said casually, which amused Sara.

"I didn't expect you to be so childish. Ha-ha! Well then, I'll change my clothes at home. I promise I won't embarrass you."
