Ex-wife, Please Come Back

Chapter 288 Full Of Passion

"It was true, don't deny it. I just haven't mentioned it before." Sara had a small scowl on her face and acted as if she showed no mercy.

"Okay, okay! I was wrong. I'm going to see what Winnie is doing." Jacob stood up and made his way towards the kitchen. His gaze travelled around as he walked, and that was when he noticed that there seemed to be no movement coming from inside the kitchen.

In the meantime, Sara started playing with Dora. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as the cute dog barked happily at her. Animals lived a simpler life compared to humans, which was why it was much easier for them to stay happy.

As she thought of this, her eyes were filled with nostalgia. She and Jacob had gone through a lot of ups and downs but the house was still the same and so familiar to her. Now that they were both relatively mature enough, they naturally had to pay the corresponding price.

Right now, Sara looked more elegant. The passing of time had done well for her.

When Jacob walked into the kitchen, his eyes darted towards the neatly arranged table. All the tableware were safely stashed away inside their respective containers and Winnie was nowhere to be seen. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacob strolled inside the place and turned his head around, looking for signs of someone present. The silence was deafening, and Winnie definitely was not there.

He turned his head once again and looked back at the living room. When he saw Dora placing her paw on Sara's hand, an unexpected laughter escaped him.

"What's wrong? Why are you laughing?" Sara asked. She raised her eyebrows and did a mini jolt upon hearing Jacob. As his laughter died down to a chuckle, he slowly approached them.

"It's okay. Winnie isn't here. It looks like you and Dora are having lots of fun over here," Jacob replied. He smiled softly before sitting next to her and placing his arm around her shoulder.

Sara raised her eyebrows and smirked at him. It was funny that Jacob would follow her closely wherever she went.

"Can't you live without me now?" Still wearing the smirk on her face, she slightly moved aside.

"Why? Don't you like me?" Jacob furrowed his brows, his expression turning more serious.

Sara shook her head. "I didn't mean it that way." She pouted her lips, acting like as if she was apologizing.

"Well, that escalated quickly." The man rolled his eyes and sat up straighter.

"Forget it. I don't think that you are serious enough." She deliberately moved aside this time and gave him a disgusted look.

"What did you say?" Jacob raised an eyebrow as he inched closer to her.

"Well, well. When Winnie sees you behaving like this, what will she think of you?" Sara curled up her lips into a sweet smile as she tried to hold back Jacob's approaching body.

"It doesn't matter. Like you said, I'm not decent enough." The corner of his lips formed a smirk and she thought that he looked attractive.

Seeing him like that, she couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter. Jacob was acting like a child at the moment.

Her laughter had momentarily stunned him, he paused and looked at her for a moment before laughing along as well.

"Didn't you use to say that you wouldn't show your teeth when you smile? You've sure changed a lot. Why on earth are you laughing all of a sudden?" He was caught off guard by Sara's sudden change in her personality that he could feel his face turning red in embarrassment.

"What? You've changed as well, so why can't I?" The tip of her finger gently landed on Jacob's nose as Sara tried to push him away.

"If you push me like this, I will be giving you some punishment later." He raised his eyebrows and looked at her provocatively.

"Punishment? What are you talking about? Let me tell you..." Before Sara could even finish her words, she was interrupted by Jacob's violent kiss.

Her eyes widened as she felt his lips crashing hard into hers. As they sat on the sofa in the living room, Jacob became more and more shameless.

The weird thing was that Sara didn't seem to want to stop him at all. In fact, she was beginning to enjoy the kiss.

Jacob could feel her lips curling up into a smile as he continued to kiss her. Little by little, she finally started to close her eyes and savor the moment.

"Hmm... It wouldn't look good if Winnie sees us kissing like this when she returns." A blush had started to creep up on her cheeks as she tried to push him away with all her strength.

"It's okay. Winnie is not here," Jacob said, his voice now hoarse. He lowered his head again. At that same moment, the door suddenly opened and Winnie came in.

"Ahem." With a smile on her face, Winnie cleared her throat and stared at the two people on the sofa.

Jacob felt his cheeks growing warm. He immediately stood up and straightened up his clothes at once. Afterwards, he extended an arm out to Sara and quickly pulled her up.

The girl started blushing furiously, currently at a loss on how to act in front of Winnie. Her face was burning as if she were developing a fever. Feeling so embarrassed, she lowered her head and refused to look at Jacob.

She was thankful that Winnie didn't say anything else. After a few seconds, she finally thought of a topic.

"Where have you been, Winnie? We were just looking for you a while ago." She didn't care if it was obvious that the topic was deliberately changed. Sara didn't want to be awkwardly stuck in that embarrassing moment.

"I just went out to buy some food. I heard that your mother is sick, Mrs. Sara. I'll cook something delicious and light. You can bring it to her." Winnie smiled. She didn't take what happened just now seriously. Instead, she had chosen to ignore it.

"Okay, thank you!" Sara's eyes were filled with gratitude. At this critical moment, she could still get some comfort from the people around her.

"It's my pleasure. You can now continue what you're doing. I'm going to work." Winnie gave Jacob a knowing smile before walking away.

"This is all your fault. What would Winnie think of me now?" Sara hissed. As soon as Winnie disappeared into the kitchen, she started blaming Jacob.

"It's my fault. I'm sorry." Jacob lowered his head and pouted like a child who was apologizing.

"That's all? You think you could just apologize and get away with it that easy?" As Sara continued to grumble, she wondered if it was so easy to coax her nowadays.

"Okay, then. What should I do for you to not be angry at me?" He looked at her, eyes filled with sincerity and passion.

"I want a reward," she sneered.

"What kind of reward do you want?" Jacob furrowed his brows as he stared at the girl in front of him. She was really not the same as before. In the past, Sara wouldn't have so many requests. Then again, she wouldn't be so interesting either.

"Let's see... Let me think about it. You have to promise me one thing." After thinking for a while, she pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows at him.

"What do you need?" Jacob asked. Then, he reached out a hand and touched Sara's nose.

"I don't know yet. I need some time to think about it first. When I've decided, I'll tell you about it later." Sara tilted her head and shrugged.

"Okay, then. As long as it's not too much, I'll agree with you. You can ask me for anything. I'll do anything for you." Jacob started grinning like a little boy.

"Where did all that coldness and ruthlessness go? I almost don't recognize you." A smirk formed on Sara's lips as she chuckled heartily.

Jacob furrowed his brows once again and pouted at her. "I'm not cold nor ruthless at all."

"Look at you, you seemed to be acting." Sara said with a big smile forming on her face that showed her pearly white teeth.

During hard days like today, this was probably her only source of comfort. Jacob was with her, and she still had ideals and hopes for the people she loved.

With his eyes fixed on her, Jacob smiled lovingly and said, "You look so beautiful when you smile. You seldom showed this side of yours before."

"That's because I was angry with you before. I didn't want to smile at all." Sara glanced at him before leaning back on the sofa.

"I was really such a big jerk that time, then. Such a beautiful smile was hidden all because of me," Jacob said, his eyes filled with resentment.

"As long as you are aware of that now, I don't mind anymore." Her smile had grown wider and she felt very happy. She never got the chance to talk about random things with Jacob before. Now, it was much easier for them to have a conversation even if it took hours or even if it was mostly nonsense.
