Jacob became visibly emotional while discussing this topic.


    He looked deeply into Matilda’s eyes before expressing with heartfelt sincerity, “Matilda, I’m not kidding around. Everything I’m sayinges straight from my heart. Since you left me over twenty years ago, I haven’t known happiness—not even for a single day. We’re both getting older; why can’t we set aside our reservations and focus on reigniting our love?”


    Matilda let out a soft sigh before responding, “Jacob, I’ve thought about what you just said too. Honestly, I have simr feelings and thoughts in my heart. However, our circumstances are very different now. The one thing I despise the most is being a third party. I don’t want to be involved in anyone’s rtionship. That’s why we shouldn’t rush into anything. Give me some time, and I’ll give you the same to think about us.”


    Jacob quickly asked, “So, would you consider being with me once I divorce ine?”


    Matilda gazed into Jacob’s eyes, her own bright and beautiful despite the fine lines around them. She said earnestly, “Jacob, I’ll admit that one of the main reasons I returned to China was to see you again. I hoped we could revive our love.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    However, Matilda shifted the conversation, stating, “But we’re not young anymore. We need to think carefully before we act. I can’t answer your question about us getting back together until you are truly single. Only then can we explore our rtionship and get to know each other better.”<fne1dd> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n ?ovelFind</fne1dd>


    Without hesitation, Jacob dered, “I’m willing, I’m absolutely willing to be with you!”


    Matilda responded seriously, “Jacob, I hope you also take a serious look at your marriage with ine. Reflect on whether any love remains between you two. If there is still affection, then I will be happy for you both. But if those feelings are gone, you need to rify things with her as soon as possible. I know you well; if you don’t confront this, you’ll continue to suffer.”


    Matilda was already a sessful woman in life, but the one thing she had yet to achieve was her true love.


    That’s why she had always held an obsession for Jacob.


    It’smon for people to have someone or something they are deeply attached to in life. If they possess that person or object, they often feel fulfilled. But if they don’t, they might carry regret throughout their lives.


    When Matilda returned to China, her main goal was simple: to reim the unforgettable love and rtionship she had lost long ago.


    Jacob quickly said, “Matilda, as long as you don’t reject me and are willing to be with me, I will definitely divorce ine!”


    Matilda sighed softly and replied, “It doesn’t matter whether you were intimate with ine on purpose or by ident. The fact is you’ve broken my trust and our rtionship. If you truly want to make amends, I would be open to giving you that chance.”


    As memories of the past flooded back, Jacob stood up and enveloped Matilda in a tight embrace.


    Holding her close, he said, “Matilda, I’ve regretted everything that happened for over twenty years. I refuse to live with regrets again! You must wait for me this time!”


    Matilda nodded gently, whispering, “Okay, Jacob. I’ll wait for you, but you can’t hold me like this anymore! What we’re doing feels wrong!”


    Jacob replied stubbornly, “I don’t care if it’s right or wrong; I just want to hold you now!”


    Matilda tried to break free from Jacob’s grasp. Though she loved being in his arms, she had always lived by her principles and couldn’t ept acting improperly with a married man.


    Panic set in as she said, “Jacob, please let go of me! We shouldn’t be doing this. I still need to cook…”


    Jacob countered, “I love you, and I know you love me too! So why shouldn’t we embrace this moment? What’s wrong with that?”


    After saying this, Jacob bravely leaned in to kiss Matilda.


    Matilda quickly dodged him, eximing, “Jacob, did I say all of that for nothing?”
