Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 284 Repentance

Although he still had some complaints, Carlos was able to understand Sara's mother's feelings. She had made her choice, but he had not been able to let her stay with them because he couldn't support them all.

Seeing her father's expression, Sara could tell that Carlos still loved her mother. However, her mother was unwilling to apologize to him.

Jacob put his arm around Sara's shoulder, watching them.

Since Sara's mother couldn't chew well, he had made some rice porridge for her along with some century egg. He had finely minced the pork and the egg before he added it to the porridge. It tasted delicious.

Carlos scooped up a spoonful of it and blew on it gently before he fed it to his ex-wife.

Sara's mother sat on the bed, tears streaming down her face. After all those years, she finally understood that Carlos had never stopped loving her, but now, it was too late for her to live with them.

Since their divorce, she had grown older and weaker. She was no longer her carefree self, and she was no longer pampered. Although her second husband did love her, he did not love her as much as Carlos did.

In fact, there was no one in the world, who loved her as much as Carlos did. And Sara's mother only understood that after she had divorced Carlos. Ever since then, the sadness in her heart had kept growing.

Until the time she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The doctor advised her that it was important for her to stay happy. But how could she be happy when her life was so miserable?

Looking at the bowl of porridge in Carlos' hand, Tasha Lin, Sara's mother, felt an indescribable sense of sorrow brewing in her heart.

She had left Sara's father out of her own selfishness, and yet she came to bother him in the last few days of her life. Although Carlos did seem to be upset, it could be understood that he still loved her because he did a lot for her.

This was the reason Tasha Lin felt sad. Carlos had loved her for so many years, but he only got her sick self. He knew that if she had not been sick, she would not have returned.

Tasha Lin was embarrassed that she came back after all those years, and she now had to take responsibility for what she did. There was no way for her to escape that.

Sara looked at her father. Even though he was just sixty years old, he looked much older. And he looked that way because he exerted too much of his energy worrying about his company.

However, deep in her heart, Sara had always known that her father was not just worried about the company, but also about her mother. If Tasha Lin had stayed with them, he would not have worried as much about her. Although Carlos was not one to speak his heart, Sara knew his feelings.

Though Tasha Lin was seriously ill, she was Carlos' only joy and hope. Carlos still loved Tasha Lin, even though she had gone bald and lost all her beauty.

Their love was the kind that could endure the torture of time. But her mother still did not seem to have any regrets towards leaving them.

Perhaps she did feel regret in her heart, but she would not admit it because she cared more about her pride than she did about them. Sara knew better than anyone else of how heartless a proud person could be.

Since Sara and Carlos did not care about their pride, they were willing to accept Tasha Lin even after everything she did.

However, Sara could not stand to see her mother suffer. Everything had happened too quickly for Sara. That morning, she had opened the door, only to find her mother lying outside their house. They immediately took her to the hospital and found that she had a serious case of breast cancer.

Although Sara could not express her feelings the right way, her anger towards her mother would pour out of her heart from time to time. She was like a boiling pot of water that was filled to the brim.

Sara used to expect a lot from her mother, but on that rainy night when Tasha Lin left them, all the love in her heart vanished. And without any love, her expectations turned to dust.

Her mother had run to the streets in the heavy rain without hesitating or looking back. Sara waited for her, days passed, years passed, but she never came back.

Since she had not seen her for a long time, Sara began to forget her. She forgot all the expectations and feelings she had for her mother. Her mother seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

But now, it felt as though the storm had just crossed their path, and Sara felt sorry for her father.

He had been waiting for Tasha Lin's return all his life, but he only got her when she was sick. Sara knew the reason her father had chosen not to remarry. It was partially because he did not want his second wife to mistreat Sara, and partly because he was still in love with Tasha Lin.

Tasha Lin leaving them was like a disaster to Carlos that he could not escape from. But Sara hoped that her father could forget about her mother and start a new life.

She thought that it was impractical to live that long without a partner, and to live with just his memories of his wife. However, Sara couldn't say anything to change his heart. She had watched her father waste

away his youth, hoping that Tasha Lin would return.

It took him years to get back the woman he loved, but Sara just did not think that it was worth the effort.

Even if Tasha Lin had shown a bit of remorse, she would have forgiven her. But Tasha Lin showed no feelings at all.

There were always some people in the world who loved themselves the most. And because of that, they would easily sacrifice the happiness of others just so that they could achieve their goals.

They loved themselves so much that they did not even care about those around them. Sara knew that her mother was that exact type, and that she was now facing her punishment.

However, it was not just a punishment for Tasha Lin, but also for Carlos, as Sara knew that her father had never stopped loving his wife.

Hence, when Tasha Lin had left them, it impacted him greatly. Even though she was back now, he was the one getting affected. But Sara did not want to spell that out for her mother.

Leaning against Jacob's chest, she felt a stone in her chest.

Carlos fed Tasha Lin one spoon after another. He seemed like he was the happiest man in the world. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. It was the feeling of getting a gain after multiple losses.

"Is it too hot?" Carlos asked, blowing on the steaming spoonful of porridge. Not much was spoken.

But Tasha Lin burst into tears when she heard that.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and wetted the blanket that covered her. She cried as though she had been waiting for that very moment for all her life.

Carols didn't care about the past. He did not even ask Tasha Lin how her life had been for the past ten years because none of that mattered to him.

All that he cared about was that they were together again.

Seeing that, Sara could not help but cry. Carlos choked back his sobs, and said softly, "Why are you crying? You are back now, aren't you? If it's the porridge that's too hot, I'll blow on it for you."

Tasha Lin cried bitterly. Seeing him treat her so well, she wondered if she had made a mistake. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Even though Tasha Lin loved herself and always regarded herself as the most important person, she could not bear to see the man who loved her cry.

"Why are you so kind to me? I thought you would throw me out when I came back to you. After all, I had been so cold hearted to you back then, right?" Tasha Lin cried out loud. She could not control her tears and seemed as though she regretted leaving them.

"You are Sara's mother. If I am not kind to you, who else am I going to be kind to? Come on, finish your food now, and stop crying. You're back, so things will get better before you know it."

Carlos' voice was soft as he offered her comfort. He was still holding the bowl of porridge in his hand as he took the spoon to her lips. He then wiped her tears away and felt how much she regretted walking out on them.
