Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 139

Nicole's career was going smoothly and she lived a rich and busy life every day. Then Nicole forgot about going back home.

It was not until Jim's phone call that she realized that she hadn't been home for three consecutive weeks.

"Sis, are you busy now?"

There was a hint of concern in his voice.

Nicole was concentrating on color painting the video. When she heard her brother's greeting, her heart suddenly softened, and she said with regret, "no, I'm not busy now."

"Well, well, Sis, how are you doing recently? You haven't made any call to mom. Mom miss you every day."

"…… I was too busy to remember. " Nicole felt more guilty.

Jim thought that his words upset his sister, so he immediately explained, "it doesn't matter. We understand that you are busy with your work. We just miss you a little."

Nicole's eyes got wet. "Jim, how's mom recently? Is she feeling well? ."

"Yes, she's fine. She has been taking medicine all the time, and her condition is stable."

"What about you? Have you been well behaved lately? Have you learned a lot?"

"Of course. I got second in the exam this month, which only less 2 scores than the First. Mom said she would cook a big meal for me as a reward."

Nicole happily laughed when she heard the good news about her brother.

"Sister, tomorrow is Saturday. Will you be free?" Jim asked again.

"Yes! I will be free! I'll go home tomorrow! "

She had planned to shoot a few more new videos on Saturday. But when she heard the expectation in her brother's tone, she immediately forgot her work plan and made a plan to go home.

Knowing that Nicole was going back, Jim shouted happily.

"Mom! She said she would be back tomorrow! "

Judy's voice came from the other end of the phone. Though it was not very clear, Nicole could barely hear what she was saying.

"Jim, are you calling your sister? I've told you not to disturb her if you have nothing to tell her, but you just don't listen to me. "

"All right. Please tell me when you come back tomorrow. I'll go downstairs to pick you up and now I am going to help mom choose the dishes."

"Okay."

Jim hung up the phone in a hurry. Nicole put down the phone and stared blankly at the person in front of her.

Then a picture of her mother and brother was cooking in the kitchen, and her brother was naughty, her mother was doting on her and sometimes scolded.

Just imagining it made Nicole's heart full.

Originally, Nicole was going to wait for Jacob to come back home and tell him she would go home the next day, but he hadn't come back till 11 o'clock in the evening.

Nicole felt uneasy for no reason. She put on a night robe and went downstairs. She saw Lily was still cleaning up in the front hall.

"Miss Nicole, haven't you gone to bed?"

Seeing Nicole, Lily went over in surprise.

Nicole nodded and asked, "Lily, did Jacob call you tonight?"

"Mr. Jacob? "No, he didn't. Miss Nicole, are you worried about Mr. Jacob? What about calling him now?"

Nicole thought for a while and finally shook her head.

"Never mind. He must have something to deal with at this late hour. I'm going upstairs to sleep. Lily, you should go to bed early as well."

"…… Okay. "

Lily could tell that Nicole was not happy, but at this moment, if Nicole did not ask for it, she had no position to call Jacob.

She could only prayed in her heart, hoping that there would not be any more misunderstandings.

Nicole turned off the light and went to bed.

The screen of the cellphone was still on. Although the light was dim, a small light was reflected in the darkness.

Jacob...

Would he go to the bar to have fun again

If something happened in the company as before, he would call in advance

Nicole was uneasy. When she thought of the scene she saw in the bar that day, she got nervous and very uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because her life was too boring and monotonous that she could not accept such a luxury and corrupt life.

But if Jacob was already a member of that kind of life, would she have to accept it?

The more she thought, the more confused Nicole was.

Two men were quarreling in her mind. One of them told her that Jacob was not that kind of person. What he did that day was obviously intentional. He was not that kind of person.

The other voice would let her see the truth clearly. She had seen it with her own eyes. She didn't believe that she had been mistaken as a good boy just because Jacob was still a good man now.

Just when the two voices were quarreling fiercely, Nicole's mobile phone suddenly rang, like a thunder, which frightened Nicole.

It was from Jacob.

Nicole took a deep breath, shaking her hands.

"Hello..."

"Did I wake you up?" Jacob said gently.

Nicole shook her head, "no, I haven't fallen asleep yet."

"I'm at my parents' house. I'm not going back tonight."

"…… Okay. "

"Sleep early."

"You too. Good night."

"Good night."

After a few words, Nicole's suspicion was dispelled, but the uneasiness and fear in her heart did not disappear.

Since Jacob was in her parents' home, it meant that he didn't hook up with other people. He didn't go out and even called her.

That was what Jacob meant. She had nothing to worry about and didn't have to worry about what kind of person he was.

But she still felt that something was going to happen.

Nicole closed her eyes and shook her head hard. She wanted to get rid of all these negative emotions. She secretly told herself not to be suspicious like the boudoir resentful women. As the saying goes, it's better to have the best hope and prepare the worst result. Don't let negative thoughts affect you.

Nicole gave herself a hint. She turned off the phone and went to sleep.

She had promised to go back home the next day. She couldn't bear the dark circles under her eyes to worry her mother and brother.

--

In the Gu family, Jacob was sitting on the sofa, staring blankly at the summer air.

He knew very well what his father, David, asked him to come back, and what David was going to do. David would order him not to make any trouble and marry Daisy under the name of having dinner together.

If his mother hadn't stopped David and said they could talk about anything tomorrow, he probably wouldn't have been able to have the dinner tonight.

In the past few days, Daisy went to Gu family too often. Andrea and his father was also dealing something under the table. The business world was like a battlefield. There was no everlasting friend, and there was no complete trust as well.

The best way to tie the two families together was marriage. In the future, no matter what happened to them, they would unite against the outsiders and won't fight against each other without any internal conflict.

The marriage between families was the best way to tie them up.

Many people did this for their own benefits, so a lot of people would find people outside after getting married. Many people would play their own games.

As long as the core mutual interest was still alive, it was okay.

Through the investigation of Jacob these days, he knew that his father, David, was more sinister than this. He did not really regard the Yu family as a partner. He was just using his son as a pawn. Through the marriage of convenience, he proved their innocence and then swallowed the Yu family.

When the time came, as for whether he wanted to divorce with Daisy or not, it was up to him.

An ambitious path.

But Jacob didn't want to be used as a pawn. Over the years, he had already understood his father's indifference and alienation, but when he knew that his father actually had such an intention, he felt very disappointed.

Daisy was indeed a bitch, not to mention the Yu family. But for Jacob, he didn't want to be the person he looked down upon, not to mention to get in the same boat with those people.

But Jacob knew what he would face once he refused his father.

But he knew clearly that he had no other choice.

A storm was on the way.
