Chapter 356 Noble


    He had no idea how many nights Sara spent crying over him. The thought of this saddened Jacob.


    He was a man in histe twenties, but now he was a seasoned man who went through a lot and saw


    the world for what it really was. But he still had uneasy feelings when things didn''t go as nned.


    When he reached thepany, he picked up his phone and hoped to call Sara. But before he could,


    he already imagined what would happen, and that Sara would hang up the phone. Jacob decided to


    give it up.


    It was not that he was afraid of being brushed off, but because Sara might feel ufortable. Jacob


    understood how Sara felt.


    For now, Jacob held back the urge to call Sara and tossed his phone on the table.


    Before he got off of work in the afternoon, Cindy came into his office and gave him the updates.


    "Mr. Jacob, Miss Alice''s flight is arriving soon. I''ve already scheduled for someone to pick her up. But I


    haven''t arranged her amodations yet."


    Cindy ryed the update. After all, no one could possibly guess what ran in Mr. Jacob''s mind.


    Besides, Sara and Jacob had been married for so many years, but she had not given children for Mr.


    Jacob. This naturally led to people gossiping about their marriage. So now that Alice was with child,


    Cindy was smart enough to get the hint even if she didn''t say anything.


    "I''ll take it from here and pick her up myself." Jacob stood upright and was about to fetch his coat.


    Cindy eyed Jacob''s movements and remained still as she held her breath.


    It seemed as if Cindy''s hunch was correct and it made her anxious. ''With Aliceing back, I think


    Sara would have a much harder time in the future.''


    As Cindy realized this, she couldn''t help but feel sorry for Sara. But soon, she had to repress her


    sympathy. ''Who is Sara? She is the strong and capable woman who deserves to stand on the peak of


    the pyramid.


    How could I, a mere CEO assistant, feel sympathy for someone of her status? It was foolish of me.''


    Cindy hold back her thoughts. Nevertheless, Mr. Jacob should be the one to deal with it.


    Every time Jacob would announce, "I''ll take it from here," it would make Cindy feel inexplicably secure.


    Of course, Cindy felt that way no matter what happened.


    There was no doubt that all the problems could be solved if Jacob was willing to step up and handle it.


    After Cindy headed out, Jacob also left and closed the door behind him. He didn''t have the time to think


    about other people''s stares when he entered thepany. James was right. Ever since they had


    reduced the staff numbers, the gazes of the staff had changed whenever they saw him.


    They feared him more than usual, and he looked like a tyrant in their eyes. Jacob could see the dread


    in their faces whenever he saw them.


    Jacob would have paid attention to his employees before, but today he was not in the mood to care


    about such futile things.


    Now his top priority was to solve current problems. He wouldn''t do anything that was against his will,


    and only wanted to solve his problems as soon as possible.


    Jacob sat motionless in his car and didn''t say a word. The driver would asionally nce at him


    through the rearview mirror and remained silent. He shook his head slightly but said nothing.


    Jacob slowly closed his eyes as if he fell asleep. He was thinking about what he would say and do


    when he met Aliceter. But after he thought it through, he suddenly reminisced about Sara.


    ''What is Sara doing now? Has she gone home? Did she have dinner? Is she still mad at me?'' Jacob


    reconsidered all these questions that were in his mind.


    But it seemed as if thinking about it wasn''t enough. Jacob was once again caught in a dilemma. What


    should he do when he finally saw Alice?


    Jacob didn''t have the heart to be cruel to Alice. But he was afraid that it would cause some


    misunderstanding if he was too gentle and nice to her.


    After all, Alice had feelings for him which were different from what he felt about her right now.


    He didn''t want toe off too ruthless, but he didn''t want Alice to develop a fantasy about him and her.


    The love that grew between the pair was built on real feelings, and not just something imagined.


    Fantasies could not bring real feelings to the people involved, but only aimed to mislead them. It had


    misled others into thinking that one thing could mean something totally different from what was actually


    happening. So, Jacob tried to calm himself down.


    A ck Bentley suddenly stopped at the foot of the entrance of the airport. Even though it wasmon


    to see that kind of car on the street, the people around the area couldn''t help but gawk at the man who


    got out of the car.


    The man that got out was in a ck tailored suit paired with ck leather shoes. His vibe and manner


    of walking made him look like a noble man. He turned out to be none other than Jacob.


    Jacob narrowed his eyes as he stood outside the airport. There were many memories that had


    happened here, but it had been a long time since he wasst here.


    Jacob walked inside and checked his watch. It was just about time till Alice''s flight arrived. He would


    feel dejected if he had arrived early, but Alice would feel the same way if he camete.


    Fortunately, he was just on time. Alice wore a green button-down jacket with her belly slightly


    protruding. Jacob looked at Alice in a daze, but the words were caught in his throat like a fishbone,


    making him unable to talk.


    Alice seemed overjoyed. Her bright smile loomed on her face. Jacob let out a sigh of relief and went


    over to take Alice''s luggage.


    Alice observed Jacob''s face, making sure to not be too obvious. Jacob was what she thought he would


    be, slightly angry but not clearly seen on his face.


    Alice tried to hide her disappointment. She already made assumptions about what was going to happen


    next. She knew that Jacob disliked being threatened, however there was nothing Alice could do about


    it.


    "Jacob, long time no see. How have you been doing? Even though I was abroad, I always worried


    about you. I''m afraid that something terrible might happen to you while I was away and there would be


    nothing I could do."


    Tears started to well up in Alice''s eyes. She looked sincere but somewhat annoying. Jacob despised


    people for not knowing when to be smart and sensible. ''Who asked her to be concerned about me?''


    Besides, he knew that Alice wished that he and Sara would separate and never get back together.


    What was the point of her acting noble in front of him? Jacob kept his mouth shut. He despised Alice


    too much to give a reply.


    He figured that even if he didn''t say anything, Alice would know just by Jacob''s attitude.


    "Does she know that I''m back?" Alice stopped and stared at Jacob with zed eyes as if she was


    awaiting his answer.


    Jacob paused, but gave no reply. ''Why would it matter whether she knew about it or not?''


    But after thinking about it for a while, Jacob nodded. Alice was shocked by his nod. Perhaps it never


    dawned on Alice that Jacob could be so frank and open to Sara now.


    In other words, Jacob had grown loyal to Sara, so much so that he would tell her everything. Alice was


    taken aback when she realized this.


    In fact, she had the opportunity toe back. Although Jacob was a powerful man, she could still find


    her own way back. But what Alice so desperately needed was a title. If she wanted to return, she had


    to have a title of "Mrs. Jacob".


    Yet, Alice didn''t know who she was. Although she was back and she had met up with Jacob like she


    expected, she felt that Jacob was bing distant and more like a stranger standing in front of her.


    A person could never fully get rid of their attachment to another person. Was this also the same with


    the feeling of resentment? Alice decided not to think about it too much and followed closely behind


    Jacob.


    "Jacob, slow down. Our baby can''t handle fast paces." As Alice spoke, she touched her belly lovingly. It


    made her look like a caring mother.


    Jacob red at Alice from up and down. He could tell that she had gone through a lot while she was


    abroad. At least the baby fat in her face had changed a lot. Now she had a slimmer face and pointy


    jaw. Her round face was cherry red because of shyness.


    Maybe in the past, Jacob would be obsessed with Alice and love her more if she said that with the


    same expression. But it was much different now. People changed as time passed by.


    Jacob could only suppress his strong feeling of boredom for a short amount of time. He looked at the


    pregnant woman in front of him, who imed that she was pregnant with his child.Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
