Bess was very happy to see Noah's parents, but she hesitated whether she should call Jacob this time.
It's reasonable for her to call Jacob. After all, he was Noah's good friend. Since she had called Sara
who would be her bridesmaid, if she didn't call Jacob, Noah would have other thoughts.
If Jacob was also invited, would Sara feel uncomfortable? She didn't want anyone of her guests to feel
unhappy. Especially at such an important occasion.
Bess thought for a while and decided to ask for Sara's opinion. After all, Sara was the key to the
problem, and Bess naturally hoped that she could be happy. If Sara was unhappy, she might not be in
the mood to meet Noah's parents.
Bess got out of her phone and found the WeChat No. of Sara. She quickly sent a message to her.
Bess: Sara, let me ask you something.
Sara: What's up? Go straight.
Bess was pleasantly surprised to see the prompt reply. She felt warm in her heart. Whether it was
friendship or love, a prompt reply would make people feel extremely safe.
Bess: Don't be angry, Sara. Swear to me.
Taking a deep breath. What had happened to Bess? Sara thought, pouting.
Sara: Okay, okay, go ahead. I won't be angry.
Bess: I wanted to invite Jacob to the meeting on this Wednesday. Do you have any problem with that?
As a smart woman, Sara knew what Bess meant. But she wanted to make fun of Bess and see her
reaction.
Sara: Yes, I have problem with that. I won't go if Jacob would be there.
Looking at the message from Sara, Bess was worried. She didn't expect that the two of them had such
a deep grudge. It was true that hatred originates from love.
Bess replied without hesitation. In her heart, Sara was definitely more important that Jacob. No matter
Noah had a problem with it or not, she would insist on pleasing Sara.
Bess: Okay. I won't inform Jacob then. After all, in my heart, you must be more important than him.
Looking at the message sent by Bess, Sara laughed out. This silly girl took it seriously. No matter how
much she hated Jacob, she still knew that she should set store by overall interests.
"You silly girl. Noah must hope Jacob be there as well. How can I affect you? Of course I would
sacrifice myself to make your meeting perfect. You can call him if you want. I have no objection.
Looking at the message from Sara, Bess felt quite happy.
Bess: Kiss you. I know you love me, and I love you too. See you on Wednesday.
Looking at the kissing expression sent by Bess, a satisfied smile appeared at the corners of Sara's
mouth.
Anyway, Jacob had promised to let her go. She won't be so narrow-minded as to avoid seeing Jacob.
Moreover, in the haze, there was always a force pulling her to get in touch with that man. Even if they
had divorced, no one could change the fact that they had been married.
If a man in a marriage was like a pool, and a woman was like a fish. Then, whether it was a pool of dirty
water or a clear spring, the fish would never forget where it lived.
No matter the marriage was sweet or bitter, the existence of it would never be forgotten. Moreover, it
could be fatal for a woman to meet a man.
The love of the talented girl, Lin Huiyin (p.s. a famous Chinese poetess in 1900s）, had always been
sighing in her mind, even though she was no much for her. But in Lin Huiyin's heart, even if she had
never married Xu Zhimo (p.s. a famous Chinese poet in 1900s, lover of Lin Huiyin) in her life, he was
the one she loved most in her heart.
Many things in life were beyond our expectation.
Regret makes perfect, and completeness may represent imperfection. Sara thought. If Lin Huiyin had
chosen to marry Xu Zhimo, perhaps the modern Chinese literature would not have been so fascinating.
Few women could be so rational, including Sara.
Once one's life was fully complete, it would make people feel empty. However, at this moment, even if
Sara's life was not consummate, she still felt empty. Lost in thought, she wondered what would happen
if she remarried Jacob.
Even though she knew that a marriage without love would be broken up no matter how many times
they remarried, she still couldn't help fantasizing. If she hadn't been so stubborn that day, she might
have remarried Jacob. At least, she wouldn't have felt so empty in her heart now. However, it was
impossible for Sara to do that. If she could only get a little happiness in the eyes of others by
compromise, she would rather not do that.
On Wednesday, at the door of Bess's house. Sara drove alone here as she was quite familiar with this
place.
The housekeeper was waiting at the door. Bess was too busy to pick her up. Knowing that Bess must
be busy at this time, Sara didn't feel disappointed. After all, Bess and Noah's parents were the
protagonists today, It was a seemingly happy but actually thrilling meeting.
Marriage was critical for rich and powerful clans. Besides, the clans of Bess and Noah had never
established cooperative relationship before. But this time, because of their marriage, the two families
were likely to set up close relationship.
If their marriage was successfully formed, both clans would benefit from it, especially the Mu clan. After
all, Bess was the only daughter of the Wang clan, so she had been treat well.
The Mu clan was quite satisfied with Bess. Her family could be beneficial for the future development of
Noah's career.
However, the bad thing was that Bess's father seemed not to be satisfied with Noah. Because in his
impression, Noah was not a reliable man. He was afraid that his daughter would be encumbered by
him in the future.
So today was obviously a test for Noah.
After parking the car, Sara was led into the villa by the housekeeper. Soon, Sara appeared in front of
everyone. Even on this occasion, she was still a shining role.
She had unparalleled manner and deportment, but didn't steal the limelight of Bess. Feeling satisfied,
Bess stood up and introduced, "This is my best friend, Sara."
The parents of both sides glanced at Sara. Bess's parents had an impression of her, but Noah's
parents didn't know much about her.
Seeing his parents were puzzled, Noah sat aside and whispered in his father's ear, "She is Jacob's ex-
wife."
Mr. Mu was suddenly enlightened and knew everything in an instant. That would be appropriate. They
were good friends of both sides, but unfortunately, they divorced and became a negative example for
Bess and Noah.
Jacob sat aside indifferently and said nothing. This was the freedom he gave to Sara. He didn't care
about her, nor did he quarrel with her.
Obviously, Sara attended the dinner as a member of the friends of the bride's side. They could have
gone to a big hotel outside for dinner, but Bess's mother insisted that she should stay at home. She
had a feeling that she couldn't control the situation when she went to the hotel. She didn't like it.
Glancing at the parents of both sides, Sara found that she shouldn't have come to such a situation, but
at the strong request of Bess, she had no choice but to come. After greeting, she sat down next to
Bess.
The atmosphere was a little subtle. It should have been embarrassing as there were outsiders present,
but the atmosphere was surprisingly good. After drinking several glasses of wine at table, Bess's father,
John started to be talkative
"Noah, I want to hear about your future plan. After all, marriage is not a trivial matter. From small scale,
it was two people living together. From large scale, it was a connection between the two families.
Marriage is a kind of positive relationship. Anyway, it should be positive for both sides. " John said
confidently. He didn't think it was appropriate to be too straightforward on this
occasion.
