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. 2
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. 1
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. 9
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. 9
However, the arrogance inside her had forbidden her t o oversee it.
And the result? Both of them were not truly happy for the past 2 decades.
