Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 122

"Bevis?" Nicole was surprised, "you are in touch again?"

"Not. I heard that he would show up at the party tomorrow night. I plan to go there and pretend to run into him."

Hearing Consuela's plan, Nicole couldn't help but ask, "Consuela, it has been so many years, haven't you put it down yet?"

"Of course. I have nothing to do recently, so it's boring. Anyway, you have to accompany me tomorrow night. I'll be stage frightened if I'm alone."

Since Nicole met Consuela again, Consuela had been helping her a lot and caring about her. This was the first time that Consuela had put forward a request.

Nicole couldn't say no.

She thought for a while about Jacob's kind attitude these days, then she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, send me the address after you are done. I'll come to you tomorrow night."

"No need. Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up."

"Tray..." Nicole stopped saying one word. She hurriedly smiled to cover her uneasiness. "You have an important person to see tomorrow night. You must dress up. It will be a waste of time if you pick me up. Send me the address. I will go there alone."

Consuela didn't insist anymore and nodded in agreement.

Nicole made a cake as planned. She recorded the video and uploaded it on the Internet. Then she spent a happy afternoon with the servants.

However, she had kept thinking about how to tell Jacob that she was going to see Consuela.

She got along well with Jacob these days, so she could ask him to let her go. However, Nicole was worried that if he also proposed to go with her or he arranged someone to watch her, what should she do?

She was fine with being under surveillance all the time, but Consuela didn't know about it at all. If Consuela discovered it and got into trouble, she didn't know how to explain.

Nicole stayed up late that night. When she was a little sleepy in the early morning, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door, and then the door of the bedroom was opened.

'Jacob is back?'

Nicole thought, but she did not turn her head to look. She heard the rustling sound behind her, and then the sound went into the bathroom.

The sound of the water came from the bathroom. After a while, the sound of the water stopped and the footsteps arose again.

The bed beside her sank a little, and a big hand slid down Nicole's waist, forcing her to get back.

Nicole turned her head and looked into Jacob's eyes.

"Still awake?" Jacob was shocked.

"Yes." Nicole agreed with her and turned around, nestling obediently in Jacob's arms.

Her obsequious gesture made him pleased kissed her forehead.

"Jacob..." Nicole bit her lips and asked softly, "I have something to discuss with you..."

"What?" Jacob raised his eyebrows.

Seeing him in a good mood, Nicole mustered her courage and explained, "Hmm, Consuela called me today. She wanted me to have dinner with her tomorrow night."

"Consuela?"

"Yes, our high school classmate. I guess you still remember her."

"Okay, just go if you want to. I have work to do tomorrow night, so I shouldn't come back," said Jacob dryly

She didn't expect Jacob was so nice today, so she continues, "Then... Could you please not send anyone to follow me. I... I'm afraid that it will frighten Consuela. "

Nicole's voice became lower and lower as she saw the look on Jacob's face.

"Don't worry. I'm not running away. I won't do anything behind your back. I just don't want to arouse Consuela's suspicion. You know that she is a casual girl. I'm afraid that when she becomes suspicious..."

Before she finished her explanation, she saw that Jacob's face was already as cold as ice.

"Is that how you think of me?"

Just when Nicole was thinking about how to make it up, Jacob said.

Confused, Nicole raised her head and looked at Jacob, but he didn't give her any chance to explain. He turned around with an unhappy face, leaving her a cold back.

The sweet atmosphere in the room vanished into thin air instantly.

Nicole stared blankly at Jacob's back and didn't react until a long while. She put her hand on Jacob's shoulder and whined, "Jacob..."

Jacob stayed still as if he hadn't heard her.

"Jacob, I didn't mean that. I..." Her explanation sounded feeble.

Jacob said impatiently, "I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

Nicole's heart sank. She could tell from Jacob's voice that he was angry.

And he was completely annoyed by her.

Apart from uneasiness and regret, Nicole didn't know what else she could do.

She withdrew her hand from his shoulder and lay back in her pillow. She stared at his back and sighed.

That night, Jacob didn't speak to Nicole.

Nicole didn't remember when she fell asleep. When she woke up, she found the bed was cold and Jacob had left for a long time.

Nicole knew that she said something wrong and made him unhappy, but obviously, he didn't want to listen to her explanation. He didn't even want to talk to her.

She wanted to apologize, but didn't know what to do.

In the meantime, Consuela texted Linda the address. She told Linda that she was doing her hair at a hair salon in a downtown shopping mall.

"Miss Nicole, would you like fish soup or sparerib soup for dinner?"

Nicole replied to Consuela. She turned to Lily and said, "I have something to deal with tonight, so I won't be able to have dinner with you. You can just cook for yourselves."

Lily asked curiously, "Miss Nicole, are you going out? I'll ask the driver to send you there."

"Okay."

Nicole didn't refuse. Since it was difficult to hail a taxi here and there was no passing bus, she didn't have to pretend to be strong. She asked the driver to send her to the downtown, and then she got out of the car and went to Consuela's.

An hour later, Nicole arrived at the hair salon chosen by Consuela. She checked the shop name again, opened the door and walked in.

"Excuse me, miss. Are you going to wash your hair or cut it?"

Nicole smiled, "I'm looking for someone."

"Hey! Nicole! " Right then, Consuela saw her too. She waved at her excitedly.

Nicole walked up to Consuela and stared at her worriedly. "Consuela, did you do your hair all the afternoon?" she asked

"Of course? I'm going to make a grand appearance today. "Consuela stared at Nicole up and down and suggested," how about you get your hair cut too? It has been a while since your hair was cut. "

"It's okay with me. You are going to see someone important, not me. I don't need to waste my time."

With a mischievous smile, Consuela said, "I just want to say that you will wait for me here and you can tidy up yourself in the meantime. I don't want you to waste time in dressing up. What if you defeat me after that?"

"Hahaha."

Her words amused her hairdresser.

Nicole was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She compromised, "Okay, I'll fix it by the way. I haven't done it for a long time."

--

"Mr. Jacob, Mr. Lin is coming, he is at the door."

Jacob closed the file in his hand and nodded. "Okay, make a cup of black tea for me."

"Yes."

The office door was opened, and a man in black T-shirt and tight jeans, who was thin and handsome, strode in with tattoos on his collarbone.

"Hi."

A big smile was plastered on his face. He stood up, walked around the table and made his way to the man.

"Jacob, it's been a long time."

"It's been a long time, Bevis."
