Surviving Heartbreak novel

---- Chapter 14 Almost immediately , Jacob rushed into the barbecue restaurant and pulled the woman in white into his arms. In a quivering tone, he exclaimed, "Penny, please let me explain! I never planned to divorce you " "Sir, you have the wrong person!" The woman in white tried to shove Jacob away from her anxiously , only to feel his arms tighten around her. "T'll always recognize you! You're my Penny! Please come with me, okay?

Without you, I'm on the verge of breaking down!" The next thing Jacob knew, he was greeted with a punch in the face. "Where the hell did you come from, you filthy drunkard? How dare you pester my girlfriend! Let go of her right now!" "No way! This is my wife!" Jacob's eyes had gone red by then. He glared at the young man, who had the audacity to punch him, while snarling out, "Get lost!" Upon arriving at the scene hurriedly, the police quickly dragged Jacob away from the woman. "Mr.

Thornton , get a hold of yourself ! This woman isn't your wife! She's gone missing, remember?" ---- But Jacob kept gripping the hem of the woman's shirt. A pained yet desperate expression had already taken over his features. "Penny , those people are here to capture me again! Not only are they forcing me to take my meds, but they're also hitting my head with their electric batons! My head hurts so much, Penny! Can you please massage it for me? Please don't leave me!"

He then drew out a stack of bank cards from his wallet before stumbling toward the crowd of onlookers.

He asked drunkenly , "Has any one of you seen my wife? Bring her to me, and I'll give you a million dollars!" Stunned, the onlookers began gossiping among themselves. "Mr. Thornton has been nothing but nice to his wife, hasn't he? How did things between them sour to the point that she ran away from home?" "T heard that Mr. Thornton's relationship with his ---- first love has been rekindled. They even had a kid together. These rumors must be fake, right?

Judging from the situation, it appears that Mr. Thornton cares about Penelope a great deal!" "Mr. Thornton has the looks and the money, yet he insists on marrying a bar escort who suffers from fertility problems. If this isn't true love, I don't know what is. Just look at him-he's on the verge of tears because he can't locate his missing wife!" As Jacob raised a hand to wipe the moisture away from the corner of his eyes, he felt a little dazed and confused.

Back when Rebecca had abandoned him, he never shed a tear for her despite being in extreme agony. But to think that he actually cried because of Penelope's absence tonight? What on earth was going 2 ons Jacob was certain that he was in love with Rebecca and that all he felt for Penelope was gratitude. Why would he cry for her? At that moment, a voice rang out in his mind, "Jake, are you sure you know you know what you want?
