Jacob pushed open the bathroom door and then switched on the light. Immediately, an orange light
illuminated the whole bathroom. The light was so bright that Jacob and Sara had to squint their eyes.
"Are you cold?" Jacob asked in an affectionate voice as he put her down.
Sara nodded in the affirmative. She was almost shivering. Then, he walked to the shower and turned it
on. Immediately, hot water gushed out of the shower nozzle. The water was so hot that it emitted a
huge steam.
When Sara went over, Jacob used the shower nozzle to spray hot water on her body. As the water
touched her skin, she felt a comfortable warmth.
Amazed, Sara glanced at Jacob. However, she couldn't see his face clearly through the mist. The fog
was quite thick. When Sara strained her eyes, she could make out the outline of Jacob's handsome
face and his glittering eyes.
At that instance, she noticed the firmness in Jacob's eyes. He appeared to be certain about something.
"What do you think? Are you okay with the water temperature?" Jacob asked in a soft tone as he
leaned against Sara's ear. Upon hearing this question, her heart melted. She was lost in his ambience.
"It's okay." Sara blushed as she nodded slightly.
Laughing, he whispered in a sweet voice, "Do you know what you look like now?" A charming smile
appeared on Jacob's face. Regularly, he had this particular smile plastered on his face.
"What?" When Sara raised her head, she saw that Jacob was staring at her intensely.
"You look like a cute little kitten. Come on, turn around so I can scrub your back," Jacob said
seductively as he ran his fingers across Sara's slender back.
Startled by his touch, Sara arched her back. His hands were so cold.
"What's wrong?" Jacob's eyebrows furrowed in worry when he saw how Sara reacted to his touch.
"Your hands are as cold as ice," Sara replied in a low tone. She was still in shock.
"Well, I'll warm my hand first." After he said that, Jacob stretched out his hands under the shower.
Affectionately, Sara then used her slender hands to clasp Jacob's own. ...
"Let me help with that." With an enchanting smile stretching from the corners of her mouth, Sara
rubbed his hands.
Jacob was stunned by her action. Then, he teased, "I'm so lucky to have such a good wife."
With pride in her voice, Sara scolded him playfully, "Of course. Didn't you know all these while? You are
so dumb, Jacob!"
"You are right, honey. I was so dumb." Jacob didn't bother to argue. He just softened his gaze.
"Who is your honey?" At that instance, Sara shyly turned around. Taking the clue, Jacob pulled her
body towards his. Just then, the water splashed on both of them.
Alarmed, Sara's whole body trembled as her skin was glued to Jacob's wet body.
"Darling, you are so apprehensive. Why don't we remarry?" Jacob muttered softly into Sara's ear, with
his arms wrapped around her waist.
"That way, we can always be together without feeling uncomfortable. I want to remarry you and show
you off to the world," Jacob continued to whisper. However, he had not the slightest doubt in his voice.
"You wish! It is not yet the right time. Besides, we are so busy now." Sara lowered her voice a little.
"But, when can we remarry? I guess you are right. This is not the perfect time to throw a wedding party,
but I want to make it up to you," Jacob murmured into her ear.
At that moment, the air around them felt ambiguous and warm. Sniffing her nose, Sara said, "Actually,
it's not a big deal. Marriage is just for formality sake. After all, we're good right now, aren't we?"
As Sara spoke, she placed her hands on Jacob's own.
"Yes, we are. But I don't want you to feel bad about this, do you understand me?" Jacob lowered his
head affectionately as he spoke.
"I don't feel bad," Sara assured him. Then, she turned around and wrapped her hands on his neck.
With that, the position of their bodies was sensual.
"You belong to me. But I feel you are not okay with this," fixing his gaze on Sara's eyes, Jacob said
slowly.
At that moment, Sara's heart fluttered and her eyes became teary. Perhaps this was as a result of
Jacob's words and the misty atmosphere. Looking at Jacob, she admired his handsome features.
For a long time, Sara was speechless. Then, she noticed that Jacob was staring below her neck.
"What are you staring at?" Embarrassed, Sara's cheeks turned pale and she covered her chest with
her hands.
Jacob grinned mischievously. Then he said, "Nothing. I just can't help it."
"Bastard!" Sara cursed as her heart pounded intensely. Her whole face was already burning red.
Jacob was speechless.
He stared at her for a few seconds. Suddenly, he kissed her lips passionately. Because of this, Sara's
legs felt wobbly but Jacob held her tightly to his body.
Then, Jacob recaptured Sara's lips and kissed her for a long time. He didn't let her go until she was
tired.
After a quick shower, Sara wrapped herself with a bath towel. Then, she made her way to the door. But
before she could open it, Jacob stopped her.
"Don't move. Let me do it." Jacob opened the door and then lifted her into his arms.
With this, Sara grabbed Jacob's back with her hands. A surge of happiness swept through her whole
body. At that moment, she realized that her suffering wasn't in vain.
Carefully, Jacob placed her on the bed, then he went to turn off the light.
As Sara lay on her side, Jacob hopped into bed and embraced her.
"What about now? Is my hand still cold?" Jacob asked softly as he leaned against Sara's ear.
"What?" Sara asked as she looked at him in surprise. Then, Jacob placed his hand on her belly.
Just as she felt his touch, Sara screamed, "Are you crazy? It's so cold!"
Upon hearing this, Jacob drew Sara's hand to his body. Afterwards he said, "Then I'll warm your hand."
With this gesture, Sara blushed. However, Jacob didn't see this because of the darkness.
"When are we going to remarry?" Jacob asked again.
"I thought we agreed to wait for Bess and Noah to get married?" As she asked this, Sara moved closer
to him.
"Yes, we did. But I can't wait any longer." Jacob hugged her more tightly.
"You need to wait. The time is not right," Sara whispered into his ear.
"Okay. I'll wait until the time is right. Nevertheless, I just want you to know that I'm anxious to remarry
you," Jacob said as he planted kisses on her earlobe.
"Okay, I know." Sara was already feeling sleepy. Lately, she had been preoccupied with work and life.
As a result, she was tired and needed to sleep.
"Go to sleep, sweetheart," Jacob whispered in a soothing voice. Soon, he heard Sara snoring mildly.
As the night progressed, the weariness of the entire day was erased. Jacob stared blankly at the
ceiling. At that moment, life seemed so peaceful. In spite of this, there were hidden dangers lurking
around. And Jacob felt it.
Perhaps this was the reason why he was eager to remarry Sara.
Usually, things that were unknown seemed very scary. And because of this, Jacob was worried.
Indeed, love gave people both strength and weakness. Jacob sighed heavily and dozed off.
A few days later, James and Cindy returned to the company. Everything seemed to be back to the way
it used to be. When Jacob had a meeting with James, he revealed that he had plans to retrench some
workers. Apparently, this didn't go down well with James. He had worry written all over his face.
"If we reduce the staff now, I'm afraid that it would affect our productivity in the future. This is just the
beginning of the new year." James was sitting with his legs crossed on the leather sofa in Jacob's
office. He was having a deep analysis of the situation.
"The new year is the more reason why the company needs to introduce new employees. Since spring
is already here, this is the perfect time!" Jacob argued as he squinted his eyes and handed James a
cup of tea.
"However, I still want to hear your opinion on the matter. Besides, the company can't continue paying
unproductive workers. The board members slack off and we can't do anything about it. But the other
employees aren't permitted to be unproductive."
Narrowing his eyes, Jacob stated his reasons. He then decided that the matter was not to be discussed
with the directors. After all, he was the owner of the company and laying off employees was his
duty.
