Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 32 Ho, You Are Proactive

Nicole spent a long time in the washroom, and then she realized that she didn't have any suitable clothes to wear.

The man's white shirt that was hanging on her shoulders was obviously from Jacob.

When she opened the door and was about to go out to look for a dress, she found a woman dressed as a servant standing outside. She raised her hands respectfully and held the suit in her palms.

"Miss Nicole, Mr. Jacob prepared this suit for you."

Nicole was surprised. After a few seconds, she slowly took over the clothes and said "thank you" stiffly.

As she unfolded it, Nicole thought this dress was too long for her, but after putting it on, she found that it was quite suitable.

The dress was just above his ankle, and it seemed like it was tailor-made for her.

The dress was smooth and comfortable, which was made from unknown material. Even Nicole didn't have much experience about this, she knew it must be expensive.

The woman in the mirror was noble and elegant, it was not like her usual self at all.

Nicole looked at herself in the mirror for a while. She suddenly had an illusion that she was also a rich lady, but this illusion only lasted for a second, which was driven away by her. She murmured to herself in the mirror: "Nicole, don't be muddleheaded and forget your true identity."

Jacob sat at the table, waiting impatiently. In his past, only others waited for him, he never waited for somebody so patiently.

After a while, she still didn't appeared. This made Jacob mad. He even began to suspect that Nicole had already escaped.

Unable to wait any longer, he put down his mobile phone and was ready to go upstairs to find Nicole in person. At this moment, there was a sudden footsteps on the stairs.

Jacob looked towards the direction where the sound came from and saw Nicole walking down the spiral stairs step by step. She wore a long skirt with complicated printing, which flowed like wind. Her beautiful body was shown vividly.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, loosely draped over her shoulders without any embellishment or ornament, which was contrary to other sexy and elegant dressing. She looked rather lazy and graceful.

Curiously, the combination didn't need a lot of money. It was quite natural and peaceful.

It was only when she was a few steps away that Jacob came to his senses.

He looked away and held back his amazement.

"What took you so long?"

Nicole didn't answer but stood still.

"Sit down and eat."

Nicole glanced at the table and hinted her identity silently. Then she sat in the next seat which was far away from Jacob.

However, when she just sat down, she heard Jacob's unhappy voice.

"Sit here."

Nicole stood up and went to the seat opposite to Jacob. She secretly glanced at his face and saw that there was no problem. She sat down with a slight relief.

After they sat down, the servants who had been standing beside them began to serve the dishes for them.

Nicole was not used to this and didn't know where to put her hands and feet, let alone the dazzled knives and forks. Her face was red and the fork in her hand hit the porcelain plate from time to time, making a crisp sound.

The meal was like a battle. For the first time, Nicole thought from the bottom of her heart that eating was not enjoyment, but a kind of suffering.

Although the servants were calm and didn't show any contempt, Nicole still felt that they must laugh at her in the heart, thinking that she was an idiot.

Especially, the serious expression on Jacob's face when he frowned from time to time made her feel so embarrassed.

When dinner was over, the servants bowed their heads to do the dishes. Nicole and Jacob were sitting face to face, without any word. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Nicole waited for a while. When she saw that Jacob didn't have any other requests, she tentatively said, "I... I want to go home and take care of my mother..."

"What?" Jacob, who had been in a trance, suddenly raised his head and looked at Nicole with sharp eyes.

"I have been out for so long. If I don't go back, they will worry about me..." Stared by Jacob, Nicole's voice was getting lower and lower.

She didn't know why Jacob put on a sour face every time she mentioned it. After all, she didn't go on a date with other man but just went home to take care of her family.

Even if he bought her with money, he couldn't keep her freedom.

Jacob stared at Nicole for a while, but said nothing. He stood up, walked around the table and went upstairs.

Nicole was anxious and she chased after him until he reached the second floor. She grabbed his sleeve and forced him to stop. "Jacob, are you listening to me? I have to go back today. I can't stay here all the time. My mother and brother will worry about me. I have nothing to do here anyway. Just let me go."

Jacob stopped his steps, turned around, grabbed Nicole's arm and pushed her against the wall. He bent over and looked at her. "You have nothing to do? Do you want me to find something for you? "

While uttering these words, he held Nicole's waist.

"Don't be like this..."

Nicole took a step back out of instinct, but the wall behind her was so hard that she had nowhere to hide.

"Please, don't be like this..."

Jacob cracked a playful smile and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nicole was almost crying. She knew that she shouldn't provoke Jacob, but she really didn't know how to make him satisfied.

"They are looking at..."

"So what?" Jacob asked with a playful smile

Nicole was terrified. Without even thinking about whether Jacob was joking or not, she curled up in his arms and seized his clothes in a protection posture.

She looked delicate and touching.
