Chapter 877


    Matilda''s body stiffened instantly when Jacob came forward and suddenly hugged her from the


    back.


    She had always been hoping from the depths of her heart throughout the past twenty over years for


    Jacob t o hug her tightly in his arms. 6


    After all, this was the only man that she had ever loved in her life.


    At this time, her first love from more than twenty years ago was hugging her tightly in his arms. As


    his hands were sped tightly around her belly, Matilda felt as though she had already regained the


    feelings that she had from more than twenty years ago. 9


    Matilda''s true feelings suddenly surged deep in her heart and she could not stop herself from


    cing her hand on his hand gently. 6


    However, as soon as she ced her hand on Jacob''s hand, she suddenly realized that it was really


    wrong for her to do this.


    She quickly broke away from Jacob''s embrace as she straightened out her hair in a panic. After


    that, she said unnaturally, "Jacob, we shouldn''t be doing this. You''re still a married man after all. I


    can''t let ine down like this!" 6


    Jacob was very anxious and he blurted out immediately, "She was the one who betrayed your


    trust and let you down in the first ce! When we were both still together, ine knew that both of


    us had a very good rtionship. She knew very well that I was your boyfriend but she did not even


    think twice when she took advantage of me when I was drunk. If she had not been so shameless,


    both of us would still b e together right now!"Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    Matilda sighed slightly before she said, "Although everything was indeed her fault in the past, I was


    the one who chose to let you go. Since I''ve already chosen t o let go and give you to ine, then I


    shouldn''t be betraying her like this. I shouldn’t do anything to hurt her and let her down. This is a


    matter of principle. Otherwise, wouldn''t I be the exact same kind of person that she was?" 8


    Jacob said anxiously, "That woman ruined our rtionship and she destroyed the happiness that


    we could both have shared. Do you really need to think about principles when ites to someone


    as despicable as her?" 1


    Matilda replied seriously, "In fact, after the incident that happened back then, I knew very well and I


    understood that ine was the one who had been secretly nning for all of this to happen. I know


    that she''s a viin but I can''t stoop down to her level and be a viin just because I was hurt


    by one in the past." 6


    After that, Matilda looked at Jacob with a serious expression on her face before she said, "Jacob,


    no matter what it is, you''re still ine’s husband after all.


    I can meet up with you and eat with you like ordinary friends and ssmates do but it isn''t possible


    for us to start a rtionship or anything of that sort..."


    Tears started flowing down Jacob''s cheeks involuntarily. He looked at Matilda before he choked and


    said, "Does it mean that it ispletely impossible for both of us to be together in this lifetime?


    We''ve finally met up with one another again after so many years. Don''t you want to try to make up


    for the time that we have missed out on each other?


    Don''t you have any regrets at all?" 6


    Matilda had a very pained expression on her face before she sighed and said, "Of course I want


    that. Otherwise, I wouldn''t have decided to leave the United States ande back to Aurous Hill


    instead.


    However, I feel that a gentleman should take the right approach when ites to money and love.


    The two o f us might have a chance to be together again after you and ine are divorced." 9


    Jacob blurted out without any hesitation at all, "Then I will divorce her immediately!" 8


    Matilda replied seriously, "Jacob, please do not get me wrong. I’m not saying that we''d both


    necessarily end u p together if you divorce ine."


    Jacob asked nervously, "Matilda, what do you mean then? I don''t understand what you''re trying to


    say. Don''t you want to be together with me?" 2


    Matilda replied sincerely, "Jacob, we haven''t seen each other for so many years. How can we


    decide to get back together so suddenly? This isn’t a trivial matter." 3


    After that, Matilda continued speaking with a serious expression on her face, "We were still students


    who were still studying in school when we first fell in love. We studied and socialized with our


    ssmates every day. We had never lived or spent time alone together. Now that we’re older, falling


    in love is apletely different feeling. This is especially so at our age. We shouldn’t only be


    considering our own feelings, but we should also be considering our children''s feelings and what


    they would think of our rtionship.”
