Jacob looked at Sara with affection in his eyes. He did not like to see her this cautious. In fact, he knew
he still had a long way to go in convincing her that he no longer loved Alice. After all, that was why he
had spoken with so much confidence. Jacob's performance wasn't irresponsible. Actually, it was very
responsible of him to try and set the record straight. He no longer loved his ex-girlfriend and that was
the truth.
"Yes, your words are quite convincing. But you haven't told me everything yet. What did she say on the
phone?" Although Sara said she didn't care, every word she said showed that she actually cared a lot.
As she questioned him, her heart was filled with worries that things would become unfavorable for her
again.
"Alice said she was getting married and she needed me to attend the wedding." Staring keenly at his
beloved woman, Jacob answered the question without mincing words.
The next words that Sara would say would have a great impact on him. If she had any objections, then
Jacob would be shaken.
"What? So soon? Who's she getting married to?" Sara suddenly sat upright. She was shocked that
Alice had moved on so quickly.
But she didn't know what was in Jacob's mind. No wonder he said those words to show his
determination. A thought suddenly flashed through Sara's mind. And she was convinced that what just
occurred to her couldn't be far from the reality. But she decided not to tell Jacob.
"I don't know. I didn't ask her. And I don't even care about who her groom is. My decision to attend the
wedding is solely dependent on what you say. If you want me to attend, then I will go. Besides, this is a
big event in her life. I sincerely hope that she lives happily after all the drama that happened between
us."
Jacob looked at Sara hesitantly as he finally revealed all his thoughts. He was trying to read her
expression.
Hearing his words, Sara didn't argue any further. She was only worried about his wellbeing. So, it was
wise not to drag the matter any further. In fact, she didn't want him to feel awkward that his ex-girlfriend
had invited him to her wedding all of a sudden. However, she still felt a little nervous about it.
'Something doesn't feel right about this. I just hope Alice isn't trying to cause more troubles, ' she
thought to herself.
"So, you didn't ask?" Sara asked indifferently. She was kind of satisfied with his response. Perhaps she
felt that asking about the groom would make Alice feel like he still had feelings for her.
"No, I didn't. But I am going to attend the ceremony. I don't think it would be appropriate if I decline her
invitation. Besides, I don't have anything to hide. It would be unwise to make her feel that I am feeling
guilty, right?" Jacob asked as he leaned forward. At that moment, his face was almost touching Sara's.
She pushed him playfully and said, "Well, I don't know how your relationship with her was. And I cannot
tell how many sweet words you said to her. But now that she's getting married to someone else, it is
only natural that you attend her wedding. You two were together for several years. Of course, you
would want to witness her marry another man. That would make you feel at ease, right? Besides, I
think it might even serve as a moment of closure for both of you,"
Sara said with a fake smile as she looked at his face. At that instance, she was trying so hard to hide
her jealousy.
Jacob stared deeply into her eyes as he leaned forward again. Then, he placed his forehead on hers.
Rubbing his nose against hers, he said slowly, "You are jealous."
Suddenly, Sara's face turned red. Her heart also leaped in surprise. She didn't think that he would
notice that she was feeling uneasy. Noticing her reaction, Jacob felt more relieved. After all, he would
feel pained if she didn't feel jealous. The fact that she was affected by this showed that she cared
about him. And this gave him some sort of satisfaction.
Jacob quickly leaned backwards. And before Sara could say anything, he said softly, "Darling, I will not
ignore the fact that you are feeling this way. I would take you to the wedding. Actually, I hope you two
can reconcile your differences. Everything is over now. So, you both shouldn't see each other as
enemies in the future."
Jacob stared at Sara with burning eyes. His eyes communicated all the emotions that he was feeling at
that moment. Although he wanted to add that she could decide not to forgive Alice, he just remained
mute.
'If they could ever be at peace with each other, then it was pointless to fight till death? Peace is better
than violence, ' Jacob thought as he continued to stare at his lover. He hoped that the matter would end
well. After all, he still felt like he had wronged Alice.
Assuming he hadn't met Sara, he might have remained with Alice for the rest of his life. Perhaps Alice
wouldn't have shown her true colors. If he ever found out about her real personality, then it would have
been too late.
But in this world, there was no point in having regrets. It was impossible to turn back the hands of time.
Or change the cause of destiny.
Everything that happened was inevitable. Jacob's fate was already decided. So, he just had to endure
it all.
"Do you really think I should go?" Sara looked at him in surprise. She was sure Alice didn't invite her.
So, she felt that it was unwise to attend without an invitation. Besides, Alice hated her. This might even
cause her to be angrier.
"Yes, I want you to accompany me. So, you can see how I would behave. And then, we would end all
these once and for all." Jacob smiled sincerely. His enchanting smile tried to convince Sara that the
plan was good.
'Hmm. This man thinks attending the wedding would solve the problem. I'm afraid that this isn't the end
of this matter. I think it is just the beginning of a farce. Something tells me that Alice is trying to release
a whole new set of troubles, ' Sara pondered deeply. Although she had doubts about this, she didn't
say anything to him.
On the 15th, Sara woke up early and followed Jacob to the largest hotel in the city to attend the
wedding banquet. Along the way, she felt a little worried. Sara's heart was throbbing and she felt
uneasy as she sat in the car. This wasn't a surprise because she never had a cordial relationship with
Alice from the beginning.
'If we get there and Alice causes a scene, can I just leave angrily? Would Jacob blame me for not
enduring whatever insults she might throw my way?'
As she pondered about this, Sara maintained a calm expression as she followed Jacob to the hotel.
During the ride, both of them didn't utter a word. But it was as if they were communicating silently.
"You..."
"I..."
Suddenly, they blurted out together when they were a few meters to the venue of the wedding banquet.
Then, the two of them said anxiously, "You go first..."
At that moment, Sara burst out laughing. She hadn't realized before now that she and Jacob had
reached a high level of tacit understanding. Perhaps being together had made them start thinking alike.
Now they both knew what the other person wanted to say. It was as if they shared some kind of
telepathic connection. After she laughed for a few seconds, Sara agreed to speak first. In order to avoid
misunderstanding, she said, "I would try to keep my cool. I won't retaliate if Alice causes a scene or
kicks me out of her wedding today."
With a concerned expression on his face, Jacob looked at her. "Honey, you don't have to do that. If she
says anything mean to you, I would personally take you away. Trust me, I won't just sit there and watch
her humiliate you."
After he finished speaking, Jacob held Sara's hand and squeezed it lovingly. And it seemed as if the
two of them had become one. Because of this gesture, Sara's eyes glinted. It seemed like there were
beautiful stars in her eyes. She felt immeasurable love and admiration for Jacob. He always had a way
of bringing solace to her heart whenever she was worried.
"Okay." Sara nodded and followed him out of the car.
However, they were shocked by what they saw as they stood at the entrance of the hotel. 'How could
she marry him?' This was the question on Sara's mind.
Sara and Jacob looked at each other. Jacob's eyes were protruding from their sockets. 'Why did she
choose him of all people?' He couldn't believe his eyes. Never had it crossed his mind that this person
was Alice's groom.
As Sara stood and looked at the scene in front of her, she felt everything was incredible and appalling.
In fact, the shock was unquantifiable. The bridegroom was none other than Jonathan!
Meanwhile, Alice was dressed in a white flowing gown as she welcomed the guests with a bright smile
on her face. Soon, she saw Jacob and Sara standing at the entrance. At that instance, her heart
tightened more than before. Noticing the surprised expressions on their faces, she smiled
mischievously. She was pleased that she had such effect on the lovebirds.
At least there was something that attracted Jacob's attention to her. Even though this method seemed
very pathetic, Alice didn't feel ashamed.
After she rolled her eyes as she glanced at Sara, Alice stared at her ex-boyfriend. Smiling at him, she
was satisfied that everything was happening according to her plans.
Soon, Jacob's surprised expression faded away from his face. Indeed, he didn't expect that he would
see this today. Although Jacob wasn't exactly impressed by what he saw, he decided not to cause a
scene.
'Would Alice be happy if she married him? This doesn't sit right with me.' Jacob felt suspicious about
the union. But he didn't have the chance to ask Alice about that now. The ceremony was about to
begin.
Jonathan was standing beside Alice. He was dressed in a black designer suit and his hair was
groomed. As he looked at Jacob, he couldn't help laughing. He reasoned that no one could get in his
way now. And his cousin no longer had any supporters on his side.
'Haha! Now I am married to the woman Jacob had wanted to marry the most. To crown it all, I am
standing in the position that he used to. The company is also mine now. What more can I ask for in this
life? Isn't this the highest success?' Jonathan thought delightfully.
When he saw the startled look on Jacob's face, he concluded that he had done the right thing.
Jonathan didn't care what risk he had to take. As long as it made Jacob uncomfortable, he felt that his
actions were worth it. He relished seeing unhappiness on his enemy's face.
As Jacob walked towards them, Jonathan raised his forehead and looked at Alice tenderly. He wanted
to provoke his cousin more.
"Why are you here?" Jacob blurted out when he reached where they stood.
