"It's okay. Let them wait. It's not that important anyway. As long as you are happy, everything will be
fine," Jacob comforted her.
"Jacob, do you have any idea how much you've changed?" It was completely out of the topic, but Sara
felt the need to say it. She looked at Jacob with tenderness in her eyes.
"Really? I haven't noticed. What change in me?" At first, Jacob was smiling happily, and then his eyes
became more serious when Sara began to talk.
"Well, you've become more patient and thoughtful. You're sweet and..." Thinking about the words she
couldn't say, Sara blushed.
"And I love you more than I did before?" Since Sara couldn't say it, Jacob completed her sentence for
her.
"Yes." At this moment, Sara didn't care about what the driver might think. She was happy with Jacob's
change of behavior, and she wanted to let him know about it.
Suddenly, Jacob chuckled. "I see. I know I haven't been really good in the past. But I promise to love
you better now." After saying this, Jacob reached out his hand to touch her face. This time, Sara didn't
shrink back like she always did before.
Jacob was a little surprised, but he felt glad. "Don't force yourself to drink, okay? I'll be the one to take it
every time someone offers you a drink."
Nodding her head, Sara said, "Okay. I'll take note of that."
Soon enough, they had arrived at their destination. Like a gentleman, Jacob got off the car first and
assisted Sara.
There was no one at the front gates, so Jacob guessed that everyone must be inside the villa. Maybe it
was because it was too cold that no one waited for him outside.
Therefore, Jacob and Sara walked through the gates hand in hand.
The villa was large enough to have a fountain and a swimming pool in front, and it was decorated with
lights that shone in the night. There were a few people in the backyard. Women wore evening dresses,
while men wore their best suits. They all had wine glasses in their hands, obviously having fun. When
the wind blew, Jacob put his arm around Sara's shoulders.
"I should have asked you to wear a down jacket. It's so cold," Jacob whispered in Sara's ear.
As usual, the two of them became the center of attention the moment they stepped in. It couldn't be
helped, since a perfect couple had always been appealing to others' eyes.
This was why even the people who didn't know them were happy to see them together. On the other
hand, only a few didn't know who Jacob was. So most of the guests who saw them weren't surprised at
all.
At this time, Noah was walking around with a glass of wine in his hand, toasting to the guests. When he
turned around, he saw Sara and Jacob standing among the crowd.
So he excused himself from the other guests and walked towards them. He stood beside Jacob and
patted his back.
"Why are you so late? I was worried that something bad has happened. If I hadn't been busy here, I
would have been on my way to find you."
Noah laughed at his own words, and then he turned to Sara.
"Sara, you look so beautiful tonight. No wonder Jacob was late. Man, are you afraid that she will be
taken away by someone else?" As he spoke, Noah played with the glass in his hand.
"You brat. You're getting used to making fun of me. What's wrong? Are you jealous?" raising his
eyebrows, Jacob retorted.
"No, no, no. Who am I to make fun of the infamous Jacob? Come on, let's drink. Wait, I'll get some for
the both of you." In a snap of a finger, Noah was able to get the attention of a waiter.
The waiter came up to him right away and gracefully held the tray in his hand, which had glasses on it
filled with colorful wines.
"We all should have a good time." Handing over the glass of wine to Sara, he added, "Come on, Sara.
Let's have a drink." Then he flashed an encouraging smile.
Instinctively, Sara turned to look at Jacob, who took the wine glass from Noah without hesitation. In one
gulp, he finished the glass of wine. Then he put the empty glass back on the tray.
"Well, I get it now. No matter how many people will offer Sara a drink, you will help her with it. You can't
get drunk, so I won't give her more."
A sincere smile appeared on Noah's face. "It seems that Sara has found a good husband."
"All right, all right, Noah. Stop teasing me. Where is Bess? Why is she not with you?" Ever since they
arrived, her eyes had been searching for Bess, but she hadn't seen her.
"Bess is inside. Most of the people were there too. It's cold here, so she doesn't want to come out."
Glancing at the people around, Noah thought that these people cared more about having fun than the
cold.
"Well... Well, I'll go inside to look for Bess. You guys talk." Without waiting for any of them to reply, Sara
walked away. Jacob stretched out his hand in the air in attempt to stop her, but put it down in the end.
"What are you doing? Sara had just walked away. You miss her already?" Seeing how Jacob reacted
when Sara walked away, Noah couldn't stop himself from teasing him.
It was true that he had been guessing that Sara and Jacob would soon get back together, but he didn't
expect that they would get along well like this. Not everything in this world was predictable; just like
how people knew that spring would come after winter, but they didn't know exactly when.
"Aren't you busy? How come you have time to throw such a party? I haven't been to such a party for a
long time. I almost forgot what to do." Jacob picked up a glass of red wine and shook it in his hand.
In the past few years, Jacob used his free time attending banquets and revelry. It made him realize that
no matter how cruel life could be, people could still have fun.
Because people were always good at finding ways to have fun and enjoy. Fortunately, Jacob no longer
needed these to kill the time and forget about his problems. Because now, he had Sara.
"Have you noticed how you've changed? Many things have happened, but life is still beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes. By the way, why did you hold a party? Aren't you happy?" Unlike everyone who attended tonight,
Jacob no longer got excited about such a life. In fact, he even felt a little disgusted.
"I'm fine. I'm just looking for a spice in life now. It can't be the same every day. Bess and I both like to
pursue new things. But it isn't the same case when it comes to relationship." Although he didn't explain
further, Noah knew that Jacob understood what he meant.
"I think it depends on fate." A memory suddenly flashed in Jacob's mind, so he kept silent.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Jacob?" A coquettish woman came up and raised her glass at Jacob.
Obviously, Jacob didn't know who this woman was, so he didn't react.
"I'm not surprised that you don't know me, but everyone knows you, Mr. Jacob. I wonder if you are
single now. I heard that you have been divorced and haven't been married anyone else yet after."
The woman stroked her hair and winked at him. It was easy to know what this woman's purpose for
coming up to him.
Standing aside, Noah cleared his throat and lowered his head to hide his smile.
"Don't bother, Miss. I already have a girlfriend." The moment the woman heard what Jacob declared,
she became furious.
"How could it be? In our circle, we all know you are single. Many beautiful women came here for you
today. It seems that they are going to be disappointed."
Unwilling to give up so easily, the woman cast a flirtatious glance at him.
If Jacob was weak, he would have been seduced by the beautiful woman.
But since he was not that kind of man, he only felt disgusted. How could such a vulgar woman compete
with Sara? She didn't even deserve to be compared with Sara, no one could.
"Then it's none of my business." A while ago, Jacob was still trying to be polite. But now, he didn't
bother to hide the disdain in his voice anymore.
The woman stormed away, her high heels clicking on the floor. It was hopeless to seduce a faithful
man, so she went back to the crowd. Several women who witnessed the scene covered their mouths
and laughed.
"It seems that Jacob is still as popular as before." There was still a smile plastered on Noah's face.
"They all have other intentions. Forget it. I don't care about them. Sara is the only woman I love. No
other woman could change that fact."
Jacob was talking to Noah, but his eyes were at the door of the mansion.
Ignoring the cold wind, he craned his neck to peek inside, hoping to see Sara. There were indeed many
people, but the lively crowd could not reduce the coldness at all. The cold wind made Jacob shiver. It
turned out that Sara took his heart with her when she went inside.
Inside the house, there were all kinds of food on the long table. It was the very first thing that Sara
noticed when she walked in, making her forget about looking for Bess for a while. In other words, she
was distracted by the food in front of her.
There were all kinds of steak, fish steak, caviar and desserts. Sara's eyes lit up. For a typical foodie,
this was simply heaven.
