Chapter 853
Jacob’s mind drifted in the ocean of thoughts, reminiscing his past. His eyes turned red, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.
Matilda was perfect. Even in Charlie’s eyes, she was completely incomparable to Elaine. She was a million times better than Elaine, and Jacob had spent more than 2 decades with a shrew who was nowhere near the quality of his ex. It was undeniable that Jacob would feel uncomfortable and upset when he saw Matilda again.
Matilda was sorrowful as well when she saw Jacob’s tears.
She regretted her decision too.
She regretted that she left him on the impulse.
None of them were happy for the past 20 years.
Both of them suffered the same torment, mentally and emotionally.
If so, why did she choose to break up with him in the first place?
She knew that he didn’t like Elaine.
She knew that he must have completely lost consciousness, otherwise, Elaine wouldn’t be able to take advantage of him.
She even knew subconsciously that it was Elaine’s plan all along.
However, the arrogance inside her had forbidden her to oversee it.
And the result? Both of them were not truly happy for the past 2 decades.
Matilda felt depressed and bitter as well.
She quietly reached into her bag for a pack of tissues and stuffed it into Jacob’s hand.
Jacob turned his face to the window, not wanting Matilda to see his tears, but when he felt the pack of tissues in his hand, he hurriedly looked at her, only to find that tears flooded her red eyes too.
At this moment, Jacob couldn’t help but ask himself, ‘Does Matilda still have feelings for me? If she does, is it possible for us to be together again?!’
His eyes blinked widely, his heart thumping violently, he started to feel nervous again.
He was nervous as he wondered where Elaine was now and would she ever come back.
It would be perfect if she didn’t come back!
He could pursue Matilda wholeheartedly!
He was fifty years old now, it would be his last chance to pursue his true love, his genuine passion!
But, what if Elaine suddenly came back…
The shrew would go nuts if she found out that Matilda was back! She would be on high alert and guard him all day long, eliminating his chance to meet or even keep in touch with Matilda!
More importantly, Elaine would be out of her mind when she saw the current Matilda because Matilda was so much better than her now. She was beautiful, educated, wealthy, mild-tempered, every aspect of her characteristics was top-notch.
Compared to her, Elaine was nothing but a pile of dog shit.
