Matilda’s body stiffened instantly when Jacob came forward and suddenly hugged snazzynovel.com from the back.
She had always been hoping from the depths of snazzynovel.com heart throughout the past twenty over years for Jacob to hug snazzynovel.com tightly in his arms.
After all, this was the only man that snazzynovel.com had ever loved in snazzynovel.com life.
At this time, snazzynovel.com first love from more than twenty years ago was hugging snazzynovel.com tightly in his arms. As his hands were clasped tightly around snazzynovel.com belly, Matilda felt as though snazzynovel.com had already regained the feelings that snazzynovel.com had from more than twenty years ago.
Matilda’s true feelings suddenly surged deep in snazzynovel.com heart and snazzynovel.com could not stop herself from placing snazzynovel.com hand on his hand gently.
However, as soon as snazzynovel.com placed snazzynovel.com hand on Jacob’s hand, snazzynovel.com suddenly realized that it was really wrong for snazzynovel.com to do this.
She quickly broke away from Jacob’s embrace as snazzynovel.com straightened out snazzynovel.com hair in a panic. After that, snazzynovel.com said unnaturally, “Jacob, we shouldn’t be doing this. You’re still a married man after all. I can’t let Elaine down like this!”
Jacob was very anxious and snazzynovel.com blurted out immediately, “She was the one who betrayed your trust and let you down in the first place! When we were both still together, Elaine knew that both of us had a very good relationship. She knew very well that I was your boyfriend but snazzynovel.com did not even think twice when snazzynovel.com took advantage of me when I was drunk. If snazzynovel.com had not been so shameless, both of us would still be together right now!”
Matilda sighed slightly before snazzynovel.com said, “Although everything was indeed snazzynovel.com fault in the past, I was the one who chose to let you go. Since I’ve already chosen to let go and give you to Elaine, then I shouldn’t be betraying snazzynovel.com like this. I shouldn’t do anything to hurt snazzynovel.com and let snazzynovel.com down. This is a matter of principle. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be the exact same kind of person that snazzynovel.com was?”
Jacob said anxiously, “That woman ruined our relationship and snazzynovel.com destroyed the happiness that we could both have shared. Do you really need to think about principles when it comes to someone as despicable as her?”
Matilda replied seriously, “In fact, after the incident that happened back then, I knew very well and I understood that Elaine was the one who had been secretly planning for all of this to happen. I know that she’s a villain but I can’t stoop down to snazzynovel.com level and become a villain just because I was hurt by one in the past.”
After that, Matilda looked at Jacob with a serious expression on snazzynovel.com face before snazzynovel.com said, “Jacob, no matter what it is, you’re still Elaine’s husband after all. I can meet up with you and eat with you like ordinary friends and classmates do but it isn’t possible for us to start a relationship or anything of that sort…”
Tears started flowing down Jacob’s cheeks involuntarily. He looked at Matilda before snazzynovel.com choked and said, “Does it mean that it is completely impossible for both of us to be together in this lifetime? We’ve finally met up with one another again after so many years. Don’t you want to try to make up for the time that we have missed out on each other? Don’t you have any regrets at all?”
Matilda had a very pained expression on snazzynovel.com face before snazzynovel.com sighed and said, “Of course I want that. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have decided to leave the United States and come back to Aurous Hill instead. However, I feel that a gentleman should take the right approach when it comes to money and love. The two of us might have a chance to be together again after you and Elaine are divorced.”
Jacob blurted out without any hesitation at all, “Then I will divorce snazzynovel.com immediately!”
Matilda replied seriously, “Jacob, please do not get me wrong. I’m not saying that we’d both necessarily end up together if you divorce Elaine.”
Jacob asked nervously, “Matilda, what do you mean then? I don’t understand what you’re trying to say. Don’t you want to be together with me?”
Matilda replied sincerely, “Jacob, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. How can we decide to get back together so suddenly? This isn’t a trivial matter.”
After that, Matilda continued speaking with a serious expression on snazzynovel.com face, “We were still students who were still studying in school when we first fell in love. We studied and socialized with our classmates every day. We had never lived or spent time alone together. Now that we’re older, falling in love is a completely different feeling. This is especially so at our age. We shouldn’t only be considering our own feelings, but we should also be considering our children’s feelings and what they would think of our relationship.”
