Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 120

The driver parked the car and went back to his room to take a shower. Suddenly, his cell phone rang during his shower.

When he heard that it was an exclusive ring designed for Jacob, he turned off the tap in a hurry, rushed out of the bathroom at the fastest speed and answered the phone.

"Mr. Jacob."

Hearing the inquiry from the other end of the phone, the driver subconsciously stood straight. He told Jacob in detail that he had met Selina when he went to pick up Nicole.

"Yes, nothing else."

When the driver heard that Jacob had hung up the phone, he sighed with lingering fear. He couldn't help but feel lucky that nothing had happened that night. Judging from the attitude of care from Jacob, if anything had happened, he would be the one to blame.

After hanging up the phone, Jacob looked much better. He didn't need to care about what Selina said, as long as it was okay with Nicole, everything would be fine.

Jacob was a business man with a strong background. In front of him, he didn't care about the rude and unreasonable behaviors of Selina at all.

Business was a war without bullets. What they fought was tactics and strength. They wanted to win the clients' respect. But if a businessman was scared to death by the women's nonsense, they would only ruin their career.

After a moment of silence, Jacob dialed another number and ordered coldly.

"Protect the Du family. Pay attention to all factors could cause troubles."

"Yes, sir."

Nicole was sleepless all night, but she did not get up late the next day. After she got up early and washed, she warmly greeted the servants who got up early.

Lily was surprised, "Miss Nicole, why do you get up so early today? Breakfast is not ready yet. Please wait for a moment."

Nicole smiled, "it doesn't matter. I'm not hungry. I want to get up and exercise. Do we have fitness equipment here?"

"A gym," said Lily with a pitiful expression. "But there are all kinds of sandbags, which are not suitable for girls."

"Okay, I'll go jogging. Please cook breakfast for me. I'll have breakfast after jogging back." Finishing her words, Nicole waved at Lily and left the villa.

Although she was instructed to stay in the villa by Jacob, she was not really imprisoned. If she wanted to go out, no one would stop her.

The villa was built in the suburb, with beautiful scenery and fresh air. There were few cars on the broad road, and it was especially suitable for running.

Nicole wriggled her wrists, moved her body and ran away.

She suffered from insomnia last night. She had thought a lot. No matter what path she would face in the future, at least she needed to cheer up herself.

Anyway, she couldn't live as a "mistress".

Nicole had never cared much about sports. When she was young, she focused on studying, and after she went to college, she began to focus on being a tutor and work, so she seldom did physical exercises.

Last night, when she was torn up by Selina, she realized that she, a young woman, was actually not as good as an old woman, which really stimulated her.

So Nicole planned to do a good exercise since she was not allowed to do anything else these days. After all, the health is the capital of the country. She had to take care of her mother and brother in the future, and she could not fall ill first.

Nicole ran at an intersection. Afraid that she was lost, she turned around and ran towards the villa.

But when she turned around and took a few steps, she suddenly saw a man in a black T-shirt following her all the way. When she turned around, the man also stopped.

Nicole trembled with fear and looked at the man.

There was no expression on his face. He was cold but no further movement. He kept a distance from Nicole not far away.

Except them, there was no one else on the road where Nicole was now. If the man was really a bad guy, he could do anything without alarming anybody.

But obviously, he didn't plan to do that.

Nicole was very nervous. She cast a vigilant look at the man from time to time, and her running posture was askew. She was afraid that the man would suddenly rush up.

Perhaps Nicole's attitude made the man realize that something was wrong. When Nicole turned her head to look at him, the man suddenly spoke.

"Miss Du, I am not a bad person."

Hearing this, Nicole stopped in surprise.

"Miss Du, You may keep doing exercise. Don't care about me." He continued.

An idea flashed through Nicole's mind. She hesitated and asked, "are you A bodyguard or something? "

Nicole just guessed, but the man actually nodded and admitted.

"Yes, I'm one of the bodyguards arranged by Mr. Jacob to protect you in the villa."

"What?"

Nicole had lived in the villa for a long time, but this was the first time she had seen the bodyguard. She was shocked by his words, which indicated that Jacob had been doing this for a long time.

"…… I'm just doing exercise. Don't follow me. " Nicole gave an awkward smile and said to the bodyguard.

The bodyguard nodded slightly and insisted, "Miss Du, it's my responsibility to protect you."

"All right."

Nicole looked at the bodyguard and knew that she could not persuade him to leave. So she stopped talking, exhaled air and continued running.

The bodyguard who followed her closely did his best.

Nicole felt somewhat helpless and somewhat unhappy.

She wanted to tell herself that Jacob was actually worried about her safety, but not spying on her.

However, she had been monitored, and she didn't fail to order herself to believe that Jacob had done it out of kindness.

With the bodyguard following her, Nicole returned to the villa not long after. She had planned to use the running to wake up her body from those negative thoughts, but she felt depressed.

"Miss Nicole, you are back. Breakfast is ready for you."

Mrs. Zhang greeted Nicole as soon as she entered the villa.

The smile on Lily's face dispelled Nicole's frustration a lot. She took the hot sterilized towel from Lily and wiped her hands. Then she and Lily walked side by side towards the dining table.

"Lily, do you want to eat cake? I'll make it for you this afternoon." Pulling out the chair, Nicole said casually.

"Really? We haven't eaten the cake you made for several days. I miss it so much. They mentioned it to me yesterday." Since Lily and Nicole had been very familiar with each other these days, she didn't have to be so polite to her.

Nicole took a bite of the shrimp dumplings and said happily, "Okay, I'll baking it for you this afternoon. But remember to record a video for me then."
