Ex-wife, Please Come Back

"Are you still here to think about your past?" Sara looked at Jacob with infuriated expression on her face. She couldn't help but feel her anger welling up as she thought about what Alice had done.

"No, I had a dream just now." He placed the photo back down into the desk.

"Humph! I know you still have feelings for her." She looked at him with dissatisfied eyes and took a few steps back. She looked pitiful as her teary eyes tried to escape his gaze.

"I don't, Sara. Who do you think I am?" he harshly explained. Then he took a look at her face and gently but playfully pinched her nose.

"Let me go. You always answer my question like that. Humph!" She kept turning her face away from him, and the anger in her face was gradually intensifying.

"Hey, Sara. Why are you angry? I really didn't mean it that way. I sent Alice abroad in the first place, remember? But when I fell asleep just now, I dreamed that her body was covered with blood. That's why I thought of her when I woke up,"

She put her hand on his mouth, and stated, "Are you a fool, Jacob? Why would you swear something like that? If there really is a thunder outside coming for you, I could only imagine what you would do."

"Are you not angry now?" He took a glance at her and shrugged his shoulders in disappointment.

Despite her mellowing out a little, a pout still persistently appeared on her face. She remained in silent as it was actually much easier for her to get provoked at a time like this. He must have spoiled her.

She raised her head and saw his chin, along with the sharp features of his face. She stared at him for a long while, and creepily didn't even blink once.

"Am I beautiful?" He gazed over to playfully look at her.
