Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 87

They played for a while on the shore, and both of them were wet from head to toe.

When they went back to the beach, the driver had already set up a grill to light the barbecue. He also brought two towels and stood respectfully aside.

Jacob put one towel on Nicole and wiped for her. Then he put the other on himself.

"Go get a chair for us." Seeing that Nicole stood on her tiptoe with her injured foot, Jacob turned his head to the driver and said.

"No, I'm fine." Nicole felt very sorry that the driver had to serve them.

But the driver didn't mind it at all. He nodded with a smile and went to get the chair.

Nicole twitched her mouth and tried to stand up to kick Jacob. "It's so hard to be your driver. He has to do everything for you," she said

Jacob raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicole. "Well, do you think it's unfair?"

Nicole nodded, then shook her head, "your driver didn't even think it's unfair. Why do I think it's unfair?"

"You little fool." Jacob reached out his hand and gently rubbed Nicole's head. "He has a high salary to be my driver."

"Really? How much is it? " Nicole asked curiously.

Jacob smiled. Nicole wanted to ask him more, but the driver had brought two chairs here.

It was a small bamboo chair in front of the grill, which was suitable for sitting comfortably on it.

Jacob helped Nicole sit down. Then he took out a bag of seafood and vegetables from a plastic bag and passed them to Nicole.

Nicole said nothing and put them on the grill. Seconds later, she smelled burnt.

"Ah, is the fire too strong?" Nicole flipped through the dishes and looked down at the fire, only to find that it couldn't be kept in a low-key way. She immediately became anxious and sweated.

Jacob, who was ordering dishes, heard the noise and turned to look at Nicole. Nicole was so embarrassed that he could not help laughing.

Nicole looked at Jacob's gloating face and couldn't help but taunt, "what are you laughing at? You're not as good as me!"

"Really?" Jacob snorted and walked to the grill with the dish he had ordered. He sat down, carefully smeared a layer of oil for them, and then put them on the grill.

Nicole was speechless, "..." How could she forget to add the oil!

Jacob stared intently at the dishes on the grill, and his two hands flipped over and over again in almost a second. A few minutes later, the dishes on the grill exuded an attractive smell.

"Wow, it smells good." Nicole couldn't help praising him.

A big smile curved Jacob's lips, and then he picked up a skewer of mature bacon, and using some seasonings, he handed it over to Nicole.

Its motion was so smooth that it was comparable to the men in the barbecue shop.

Nicole was amazed at the scene. She couldn't help but sigh, "if you can't make a living in the business world, you can sell your barbecue to earn money. I mean it."

When the driver heard what Nicole said, he almost choked himself with saliva.

How could Mrs. Du let Mr. Jacob, who was worth tens of billions, sell these barbecue food? She just didn't take Mr. Jacob seriously or take the barbecue too seriously?

But Jacob didn't think so much. He didn't even show any care about what Nicole said. Instead, he laughed and said, "I can do more than barbecue. How can I only cook and sell barbecue?"

"Really? You can also brag, right? " Nicole laughed and provoked him deliberately.

Jacob removed the grilled food and meat from the grill and divided them into two parts. One was given to the driver, the other was given to Nicole. Then he pouted to her, "well, that's better than you anyway. Your grilled stuff is all burnt."

Nicole didn't deny, "Hey, that was just an accident. Besides, although I can't cook barbecue well, I'm good at cooking others. Someone wanted to have the breakfast I made before."

Both of them were silent. What Nicole said was that happened before she broke up with Jacob. On that day, she said that she would make breakfast for Jim when she went back home, and Jacob asked her to do it for him too.

But up to now, Nicole hadn't cooked for Jacob.

Jacob took a few more sets of food, brushing the oil while glancing at Nicole. "I'm bored with delicacies. Occasionally, I want to eat lamb kebab to experience different life."

"Haha..." Nicole couldn't help but punch Jacob in the chest. "How shameless you are!"

"Is there anything wrong? How can someone cook any delicious breakfast when they even don't know how to barbecue. " Jacob said coldly to Nicole.

Clenching her fists, Nicole took a big bite of the meat, as if it was Jacob's arm, and she started to chew.

After thinking for a few seconds, she took out her phone from her pocket, opened the photo album and took out a picture of the cake she made, showing it to Jacob. "Look! The cake I made! "

"You made it?"

"Of course! Are you greedy? Have you admired me? " Nicole smirked.

"Uh huh." Jonny replied, stretching out his hand.

Nicole was so pleased with herself that she didn't notice what Jacob was doing.

Nicole didn't realize it until she heard the "send" sound. She grabbed the phone and asked nervously, "what are you doing?"

Without saying a word, Jacob continued to focus on the barbecue.

Nicole took a look at her phone and found it was a picture of her and the cake which was sent. The photo was taken by her brother. She was going to choose some beautiful ones as the profile picture.

In this photo, she was holding this piece of cake and laughing. Nicole had never thought of using this one because she thought she was laughing too silly. But she did not expect that Jacob should have sent this one to himself.

Nicole's cheeks were slightly red. She quickly glanced at Jacob's side face and then lowered her head to focus on the barbecue. She no longer quarreled with him on words.

Jacob seemed to be in a good mood. He concentrated on grilling meat and didn't tease Nicole any more.

After the barbecue, the driver lifted all the things and went back. Jacob carried Nicole on his back, and Nicole felt the most relaxed. She put her arms over Jacob's chest and carried their shoes.

This villa was big enough, so the driver stayed with them that night. The driver stayed downstairs, and Nicole and Jacob stayed upstairs.

When they finished washing and were about to go to bed, Jacob held Nicole in his arms and suddenly said, "make cake for me when we go back home."

It was not a question, but a statement.

If it were in the past, Nicole would have refused Jacob and accused him of being an unpredictable and troublesome person. But now, she almost blurted out one word "Okay".

"You..."

When Jacob was about to speak, his phone suddenly rang. He picked up the phone on the bedside table and answered it.

"Hello, mom."

As Nicole heard the word "Mom" from Jacob, the sweetness and tenderness on Nicole's face disappeared in an instant.
