Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 293

"I will treat Sara well, so please, don't worry, mom. You just need to take care of yourself and I'll handle everything else, okay?" Jacob comforted Tasha in a soft voice.

"I know the way you treated her before, but I will not talk about the past now. However, if you are not nice to her, you will be facing my wrath. Even if it kills me, I won't stop,"

Tasha threatened, glaring at Jacob.

With a serious expression, Jacob looked at her and said, "I know, and I promise that I will be good to Sara. I was stupid before, but I have changed since. In fact, I am a completely different person now."

Tasha nodded. Apparently, Carlos had already mentioned that to her. Hence, she decided to believe Jacob's words.

"Okay, enough talking! Let's eat." Saying that, Carlos set the table and began to eat with Tasha.

He kept feeding her, and she smiled happily. Tasha too, picked up some of the food and fed Carlos.

Seeing that, Jacob and Sara felt that if they had been so loving before, then their lives would have been much different. However, that had not been the case. Sara glanced at Carlos, who was an introvert and sighed heavily.

Tasha kept smiling for she had not felt that happy in a long time. For many years, she thought that her life was cursed with melancholy, but now things were different. She had finally chosen happiness.

As Tasha watched Carlos pick up another spoonful of food for her, she felt as though she had been taken back in time. She did not have to do anything back then. If she had not left then she could have had a much better life now.

"Isn't it delicious?" Carlos asked softly, grinning like a little child.

"It is, this home-cooked food is delicious!" Tasha replied with a bright smile.

Even if there was some resentment in Sara's heart, it vanished before her mother's smile.

Life was getting much better, and it made Sara happy. There were no serious problems, just happiness in the small things in life. Perhaps, everyone had been looking forward to that kind of happiness. Even Sara felt as though her dreams had come true.

Jacob sat beside them in silence, watching the couple eat happily. Perhaps, people only realized after they were old that their achievements in life did not even begin to compare with the joy of being with their families and loved ones.

Moreover, it was never easy to find the perfect lover. It was usual for couples to fight every day, but in the end, the love in their hearts triumphed whatever conflicts they had. However, some people always fought, but they did not know what they were fighting for or what they truly cared about.

Fortunately for them, Carlos and Tasha knew exactly what they wanted. Although they had understood it rather late in life, it was still okay.

Sara stared at them in a daze, feeling pity for her father. After waiting for all those years, he got the woman he loved when she was seriously ill. She could not help but wonder if her father was having mixed feelings.

All of a sudden, someone's cellphone rang.

Carlos and Tasha instantly turned to look at Sara and Jacob. It seemed as though they had completely forgotten that they were in the company of them.

With his phone in his hand, Jacob walked out of the room.

"Hello, Jacob, where are you?" Noah's anxious voice was loud that everyone in the room wondered what might have happened.

"I'm at the hospital. Sara's mother has returned," Jacob said before turning to look at Sara.

Upon noticing his serious expression, Sara figured that something bad must have happened.

"Yes, you are right. But I thought Bess wouldn't quarrel with Noah. They have always been so good together. Anyway, I will inform my dad and come with you. Let's go and find her." With that, Sara turned around, walked into the room, and Jacob followed her.

After saying goodbye to her parents, Sara and Jacob rushed out.

It was late in the night, so they wondered where Bess could have gone.

The first thing that came to Sara's mind was that Bess must have gone to her parents' house.

The two of them met Noah and saw that he was contacting all his friends, asking for help. In fact, he even wanted to go to the police. Watching him so badly worried, Sara sighed and was almost about to laugh.

However, she didn't say anything. After all, he was being serious and laughing at such a time would be embarrassing.

Seeing Noah asking everyone for help, Jacob also contacted his friends and asked them to look for Bess. He even tried to get the surveillance tapes from all over the city.

"Sara, why don't you go to Bess's house and see if she has gone there? It won't look good if I go there after having a fight. And it would be bad if her parents mistake me for hurting her. I don't want them to have a bad impression of me. But your situation is different, so you can ask them..."

Noah said all of a sudden. A thought crossed his mind that Bess would most likely have gone home.

Noah then called some of his friends and also some of Bess's friends, with whom he had a good relationship, asking for help. The three of them stood on the side of the road, pacing anxiously.

Sara knew Bess well enough to understand that she would not have done such a thing if she had not been extremely angry. Bess was a cool person who would never get angry about something unimportant.

However, Sara did not know for sure because Bess's anger could also be the result of the love that she had for Noah. Perhaps, it was her feelings that pushed her to make such a rash decision. "All right, then, I will take a cab and go to her house. You two keep searching for her and update me if there's any news," Sara said in a firm voice as she stopped a taxi that was passing by.
