'Since we are all adults, why should we ask others to pay for our own ideal?' To put it bluntly, some
reporters were making an interview not to discover the news, but to dig into other people's privacy.
Jacob didn't want to explain at all. Suddenly, some family members in the crowd made way for him.
From beginning to end, Jacob had never denied that he was responsible. It was just that the grief was
too great, so they were too anxious.
They were too eager to know the answer, so they didn't wait. They were too eager to know the answer,
so no one paid attention to it at all. Jonathan angrily waved his sleeve. Jacob's indifferent attitude hurt
him.
He just wanted to embarrass Jacob. How could it be so difficult?
The assistant carefully observed the expression on Jonathan's face and asked, "Boss, are you okay?"
With a gloomy face, Jonathan said, "Fuck! Let's go. I can't stand it anymore."
The assistant nodded and bowed to lead Jonathan into the car.
Before getting on the car, Jonathan took a look at Jacob, who was also looking at him. The culprit of
today's matter was Jonathan. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been stopped at the door. He had
been questioned for so long, and it was about his family matter.
Jonathan looked at Jacob with a bad face and ignored his response. Anyway, he was born to dislike
Jacob. He just wanted Jacob to live a hard life, so what could Jacob do to him?
Jacob got on his car while the others were asking.
James drove the car and Jacob sat on the passenger seat.
"How was it? Was everything okay just now?" James asked with concern. He could obviously feel the
change in Jacob. He didn't expect that Jacob's family affairs would be involved directly.
"It's okay. Thank you, Uncle James." Jacob rested his head on one hand and pretend to fall asleep.
The reporter was right. The impact of divorce on life was really invisible. He always felt that he couldn't
make up for what he had lost. However, even so, Jacob had to admit that he would still live a good life.
But this kind of life was no longer complete. Without Sara, his life was incomplete.
At the beginning, he wanted to get rid of Sara, but now he regretted a lot.
He regretted that he was too impulsive at the beginning, that he didn't think twice, and that he was too
sure about his feelings. He regretted trusting Alice too much.
It was because of this trust that he made the decision too easily. He thought everything was under
control, but he didn't know that something was out of his control.
It was too late for him to realize that the one he loved deeply was Sara.
James didn't say anything, as if he was recalling his youth. When he was young, he was frivolous. But
he was no longer the same now.
Life went on, but his heart was getting colder and colder.
"Uncle James, why didn't you get married when you were young?" Jacob looked up.
"Because I can't let it go." James held the steering wheel more tightly. These things had been hidden
for too long, and he didn't want to mention them again.
"Can't let go of what? Who?" Jacob opened his eyes and stared blankly ahead. When James was
young, he had a girlfriend and would never marry anyone except her.
"No, I were too young and ambitious at that time. She always thought that I didn't pay attention to her."
James's memory seemed to be dragged back to the past. He had said that it would be buried forever,
but today he talked about it again.
"What happened later? Did she marry another man?" Jacob narrowed his eyes. No wonder Uncle
James would never get married.
"No. She was not married." James's eyes were filled with some kind of sadness.
"What? Why? Is she the same as you that she doesn't want to get married in her whole life?" Jacob
wondered why the people in love couldn't be together. Why were there so many tragedies hidden in
this world? Why were so many people in love but hurt each other?
"No, she passed away." James looked a little painful. If he had stopped earlier, such a thing might not
have happened. But he had to face this sad ending.
Jacob was too shocked to say a word. It turned out that this was the reason why Uncle James would
never marry!
No wonder such an outstanding man like Uncle James didn't get married in his whole life. That's the
reason.
"Then... How did she die?" Jacob asked in a low voice, at a loss.
"She died because of me." James's sad voice seemed to have the magic to break through people's
heart. Jacob tried to pretend to be calm, but now he was too stunned to say anything.
"She died because of me, so I have been living in my memory all these years. I can't forget her, let
alone marry another woman." James's voice sounded a little pale and powerless.
All these years of persistence and waiting were just regrets for her death. Perhaps only when we get
old can we see through the things of youth.
Perhaps, only time can teach us to grow.
Jacob sighed heavily. The most sad thing in the world was the death of a heart. After a person's heart
died, all his emotions were no longer vivid. He was like a walking dead.
For so many years, Uncle James had been smiling every day. Actually the smile was the disguise of his
pain.
It turned out that Uncle James, who usually looked calm, had such a life experience. It was just a
nightmare. If it was a nightmare, when could he wake up?
Although Jacob wanted to ask about the details, it was not the right time now. And he believed that if
Uncle James wanted to say something, he would talk about it himself. Only if he himself wanted to talk
would it make sense.
James was silent. If the reporters didn't ask Jacob about the impact of his divorce today, he might
never say these words. He knew how painful it was to lose his lover because of his own fault.
Therefore, he had been guiding Jacob, hoping that Jacob would not regret and not do anything
regretful for the rest of his life on impulse. After all, there was no second choice in life.
At the beginning, James couldn't accept the truth of his lover's death. He was so painful that he even
wanted to follow her. But after the sadness, life had to go on.
Since then, he knew that some people would become clearer and clearer in his memory, and he even
remembered her smile, her persuasion and everything about her. But she was no longer there.
He didn't want to recall the details anymore. There were a lot of things that he couldn't remember
clearly. Maybe he chose to forget them, or maybe he didn't want to recall them again and again.
Squinting his eyes, Jacob looked at James who was driving. 'How did he get through all these years?
What had happened to him that made him like this?
He must have had a hard time every day. How much pain did he suffer?'
James glanced at Jacob and said, "At first, I couldn't figure it out. I think that no one can understand
this kind of things. Is it wrong to pursue your career? I always think that I did nothing wrong."
Jacob didn't know what to say. He just listened in silence, as if he was listening to an old song.
"Later I realized that it was not right or wrong. She just thought I didn't care about her. She was worried
about me. So that day when she ran out, she said she wanted me to remember her with my life."
Deep in his heart, Jacob knew how much suffering James had experienced. 'Why can't career and love
coexist? Why do women have to let men choose between them two?'
"In the end, I chose her in those two choices, but she never knew that. Sometimes I also ask myself
what I would choose if I had another chance. But later I found that it was a trick only played by
children."
James paused, feeling sad.
