Chapter 16 Diamond Ring
Chapter 16 Diamond Ring
"I bought you a diamond ring. I promised to buy one for you before." Jacob seemed a little impatient.
Sara's heart beat faster. Her mood was easy be affected by Jacob.
Sara, who was pretending to be calm, said in a seemingly calm tone, but all the uneasiness had been hidden in her eyes.
"No, thanks. I'm already his ex-wife.". As Sara spoke, her heart ached again.
"Since I promised you to buy one, just take it. Don't think too much. It's just because I said it before. Jacob raised his voice. He didn't expect that Sara would reject it.
Sara was stunned. She lost her mind for a moment.
Love spread in her heart, but she couldn't let it go.
The reason why she stopped bothering Jacob was that she didn't want him to know what she was thinking. She took the ring box, but she didn't put it on. Let it be a souvenir, one could prove Jacob had been in her life. He would never belong to herself again.
Wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, Sara went back to her room with her head held high. Since they divorced, she and Jacob had slept in separate rooms.
Everyone was willing to believe that a couple even divorced, they would still have kindness to each other, but no one said that they were birds of the same feather.
Jacob's heart softened when he saw Sara take the ring. There was a trace of unspeakable feeling, and there was no need to mention it. Accepting meant forgiveness. Or she didn't complain him at all? Even he himself was surprised by the atmosphere today. It was not as tense as before, as if they had returned to the past after a sleep.
But Alice she came back, she was no longer what she used to be.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Sara had to think about what to do with her future life. The marriage had broken down, and Jacob had made up his mind not to abandon her. The existence of Alice greatly reduced the prestige of Sara in Jacob's heart. The one who could take away was not the real lover.
Putting the headset on, Sara, who hadn't listened to music for a long time, heard the music slowly. It was just a casual song. Someone said that sad people shouldn't listen to music.
The lyrics slowly revealed Sara's unspoken feelings.
If I hadn't met you, where would I have been.
How was life? Should we cherish our life?
Maybe he knew someone and lived an ordinary life.
He didn't know if there would be love as sweet as honey.
As time goes by, I only care about you...
Sara gently pressed the loop playback key. It was not the music, but the sadness in her heart.
The music suddenly paused. Sara noticed a new text message.
"I'll take you to the farm for relaxation this weekend. If you refuse me, you are not take me as your friend. "It's from Bess.
Seeing that, Sara couldn't help laughing. Needless to guess, it was Bess.
"Yes, madam." Sara replied in brief.
The corners of Sara's mouth lifted into a bright but sad smile.
She was so lucky to have such a good friend. If it weren't for Bess, how could she survive this difficulty?
Sara began to hate herself for being indecisive and depressed. She underestimated the destructive power of Jacob. She didn't know that the most painful thing was invisible.
Since Jacob answered Thompson's phone call last time, Thompson had never contacted Sara again. Men are really impatient, both Jacob and Thompson. It was not because Sara enjoyed being held in the palm of so many people, but because she lacked a person who was willing to take care of her all the time.
After struggling for a long time, Sara finally fell asleep. Only by being the dream could she relieve the pain.
On the weekend, Patrick, Sherry and Sara went to a farmhouse in the suburbs. They hadn't had a good time together for a long time. It seemed that only after the divorce could Sara have time to hang out with her friends. After the divorce, she finally broke through the shackles, as if she had obtained her physical freedom. But how could she get the freedom of heart?
Sitting in the car, Sara shook her head. She couldn't indulge herself in sadness anymore. It was not like her at all.
The three chatted all the way and talked about all kinds of strange anecdotes. Then they arrived the villa unconsciously.
The resort was located in a secluded place by a clear lake. The lake was green, and even the water grass at the bottom of the lake could be seen. There were all kinds of shrimps and fish in the lake for people to fish. What was more, there were several wild swans competing to lower their heads and peck
water. On the surface of the lake, there was a small bunch of lotus with dew hanging on it, so beautiful that people were coveting her.
There were yachts by the lake for people to play and fish. It was indeed a good place.
There was also a horse farm nearby and there were all kinds of horses, which could make people feel the pleasure of riding a horse and raising whips.
There was also a boat by the lake. Tourists could get on it and had fun there at any time.
The architecture of the resort was also very ancient. Its outer shell, glazed tiles, ancient wooden doors, lanterns and other features were all available. Inside it, there were many modern facilities. It was simple and natural. It faced the lake with its back to the deep forest.
"It's too hurry to find a better place. Just make do with it here." Patrick shrugged helplessly.
Hearing that, Sara pursed her lips. If others said so, she would definitely believe that he were showing off, while Bess always said what she thought.
It was hard to tell the difference in Eq. but they were sincere and were not good at euphemism or deliberately targeting anyone.
Sherry smiled and said, "it's good enough. This place is simply a fairyland."
Bess couldn't hide her smile and said, "if you like it, I'll take you here next time.".
As Sherry spoke, she held Bess into the villa, Sara followed them with a smile.
For lunch, the resort prepared fresh fish and shrimps from the lake, which tasted good. Having been used to the delicacies, Sara couldn't help but have more. But only a little.
Sara didn't have appetite recently. She felt the food tasted tasteless, but if she didn't eat it, she was afraid that she would collapse. She had to force herself to have some every day. She didn't want herself to be unable to do such a small thing.
After the meal, the three went back to their rooms for lunch break. It was too tiring to take a car in the morning. The mountain road was bumpy. It might be more tiring for Bess to drive, but she never complained about it to her friends.
Good friends were like the light. She will teach you how to behave.
Sara's favor for Bess was countless. There was an old saying that beauty lies in the lover's eyes, while she thought a man of noble character was in the eyes of a friend.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bess knocked on the door and said, "get up, Sara. Let's go boating and fishing."
With sleepy eyes, Sara opened the door and rubbed her eyes with her right hand. In a resentful voice, she said, "Hey girl, can't you wait for me to sleep a little longer before you wake me up? I just fell asleep for a while."
Bess smiled sheepishly, "I didn't know you just fell asleep. You have woken up. Hurry up. Get dressed. I'll take you to swim in the lake."
Hearing that, Sara almost burst into laughter. "Sister Patrick, don't do that. I'm so scared of you behaving like a literary youth."
Bess rolled her eyes at Sara, showing his dissatisfaction. "It's not good to be in an occasionally literary manner.
Sara teased, "Okay, okay. Sister Bess is right. You are perfect in my eyes. You go out first. I'll come out after changing my clothes."
Bess was satisfied with what Sara said and went out immediately.
As soon as Sara changed her clothes and went downstairs, she heard a familiar voice.
"What a coincidence. Is Sara also here? " Thompson said in surprise. There was no affectation in his voice. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
When Sara turned around, she saw that Thompson was in a light black suit with an unknown document in his hand. He looked at Sara with a smile.
There was no trace of uneasiness on Sara's delicate face, which was very natural. She replied with a smile, "Thompson, it's rare for you to have time to hang out. I didn't expect it to be so coincidental."
Of course, Thompson noticed that Bess and Sherry were also there. Needless to mention Sherry, they had dinner together last time. As for Bess, the unruly miss of the W Group, everyone knew it was not easy to provoke her.
