Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 229 Jacob, Let's Have A Rest Together

Nicole followed Jacob through the long corridor and entered the main house.

The main house of Gu family was a combination of European style and Chinese style. It was spacious and magnificent, like a mansion of a rich family in the Republic of China.

"Mr. Jacob." On the way, The servants all bowed to greet Jacob when they met Jacob and Nicole. Nicole, who was held in Jacob's arms, felt very embarrassed.

As soon as they entered the main hall, Nicole saw Albertan sitting on the sofa. Seeing that Albertan was looking at her, Nicole lowered her eyes and greeted softly, "Hello, auntie."

"Mom, Nicole has brought her own dumplings. Would you like to have a taste?" Jacob asked Albertan.

Albertan didn't say anything but looked depressed.

"Well, let's go to the dining room." With these words, Jacob held Nicole in his arms and walked towards the dining room in front of Albertan.

With a lingering fear, Nicole secretly glanced at Albertan. Seeing that Albertan was looking ahead with empty eyes, Nicole didn't know what she was thinking about. The storm Nicole thought didn't come, which made her a little surprised.

Was it because of the death of Jacob's father that Albertan was too heartbroken to care about her?

"What are you thinking about?" Jacob pulled out a chair to push Nicole to sit down, and naturally took the food box from Nicole.

"Not bad. It's still warm." Nicole took out the dumplings from the container and said, "this is the vinegar we bought. Try it. If it's not good, you can use your own instead."

Jacob shook his head, grabbed his chopsticks and started to eat the vinegar in the pot.

Seeing that Jacob had eaten for a while, Nicole looked in the direction of the main hall with confusion and asked, "is your mother all right?"

"No," Jacob answered curtly

It seemed that Jacob was at odds with Albertan. Seeing that Jacob was unhappy when she mentioned Albertan, Nicole stopped asking.

After a while, Jacob ate up all the two dishes of dumplings. Nicole smiled with relief and said, "I was worried that you had dinner. You have no space in your stomach. I didn't expect that you could finish all.

Jacob took a sip of the tea served by the servant and said casually, "I'm not in the mood to eat today."

"HMM..." Frowning, Nicole held Jacob's hand and asked softly, "what's wrong? What happened again? "

"No, it's just..." Jacob took a look at Nicole and said reluctantly, "about my mother."

Nicole was not a person who liked to force others. The reason why she asked was that she cared about Jacob. Since he didn't want to talk about it, she ended the topic in time.

"Well, is there anything I can do for you?"

"…… It's okay. "

"Okay, then Are you busy now? If not, let's have a chat. We haven't seen each other for several days. " Nicole acted like a spoiled child.

Jacob's face softened. He nodded, took Nicole's hand and stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you to my room."

Nicole smiled sweetly, "okay."

When passing by the main hall again, Nicole found that Albertan was no longer there. Without any response, Jacob went upstairs directly.

Jacob's room was on the third floor. The two went upstairs. He pointed at the door one by one and explained for Nicole. One was his chess room, One was his study, and the last one at the corner was his bedroom.

The style of this bedroom was different from the decoration of Jacob's Villa, it was filled with a strong European court style, thick and dignified, making people feel heavy pressure.

"What's wrong?" Jacob noticed that there was something wrong with Nicole, so he asked.

Nicole came to herself and shook her head with a smile, "nothing. I just didn't expect you to like this style."

Following Nicole's sight, Jacob looked around and explained indifferently, "this is not my style. It's all done by my mother. All the decorations inside are done by her."

"I see."

"Come in and have a seat." He pulled [暖暖] into the bedroom and closed the door.

Nicole walked to the bed of the bedroom and saw a row of photo frames by the table near the window, in which there were pictures of Jacob growing up.

"Don't watching them anymore. It's not worth watching." Embarrassed, Jacob stepped forward to stop Nicole.

Nicole thought it was funny. She pushed away Jacob and watch some carefully while asking about the story and background of those photos.

Even when they were dating in high school, Nicole had never been to Jacob's room, nor had she seen these photos. Therefore, what she saw in front of her was novel and interesting.

Looking down along the way, Nicole found that there were almost no group photos of Jacob and his father in so many photos. There were only two family photos. He didn't take many photos with Albertan, but much better than with David.

There were so many photos, most of which is only Jacob alone. He stood alone, looking lonely with a stubborn expression.

Looking at the photos, Nicole felt sorry for Jacob. But she also knew that Jacob didn't like to be treated as a weak man, nor did he want to be pitied.

"Why do you have such a long face?" Nicole looked at the photos one by one. Seeing that almost every photo of Jacob had a dark face and an unwilling look, she couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Jacob said impatiently, "I don't like taking photos. But they did insist, what other expressions could I have?"

Nicole grinned and winked at Jacob, "it doesn't matter. You have a cute long face."

"Hey, don't use the word 'cute' to describe me." Jacob protested.

Seeing that Jacob was back to the state of duplicity, Nicole reached out and pinched his cheek, coaxing him like coaxing a child, "you are very cute. Why don't you let people say it?"

Caught off guard, Jacob's face turned red. He pulled over Nicole, who was enjoying the pictures, and the two lay on the bed, face to face.

"Do you miss me these days?" Jacob asked.

Holding back her laughter, Nicole asked Jacob, "what about you? Do you miss me?"

"What do you think?"

"What do you think?" Nicole asked as Jacob, pretending to know the answer. She leaned forward and stared at Jacob with her watery eyes.

The two were so close that Jacob lowered his head and he could kiss on Nicole's lips.

The long lost kiss and the familiar smell made Nicole moved. However, thinking of the situation at the moment, she restrained the uproar in the bottom of her heart.

"Stop it. This is your home." As Nicole retreated, she warned Jacob.

Jacob didn't keep playing with Nicole as usual. Instead, he pulled Nicole into his arms, put his forehead against Nicole's forehead and closed his eyes slightly.

"Are you tired?" Seeing the dark circles in Jacob's eyes, Nicole felt sorry for him and gently touched them with her fingertips.

"Yes," said Jacob. He held Nicole's fingertips and sighed, "I'm tired."

Nicole also lowered her voice and said to Jacob in a gentle and comfortable tone, "if you are tired, just have a rest." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Okay..." With his eyes closed, Jacob acted like a spoiled child, "are you also sleepy?"

"Okay, let's have a rest together."

"Okay..."

Jacob's steady breathing came from the bedroom. Nicole looked at Jacob without blinking. Her eyes were so soft.
