In the evening, when Jim returned home, Judy scolded him with tears in her eyes again and then let
the matter go temporarily.
Not only was Jim unwilling to talk back, but he also felt guilty to admit his mistake. He promised that he
would study hard in the future so that his family would not worry about him.
Nicole was an adult now, and that two guys did not really do anything to her on that day. And because
of this, her brother was obedient back to school, so from the analysis of the results, Nicole no longer
cared about the two people who had hurt her.
She no longer cared about what had happened that day. But she still wanted those two people to be
punished but to harm others.
What she was more concerned about is why Jacob knew about it.
'is it because the police department has begun to investigate the case after I call them? And it becomes
a big issue, Then Jacob knows it inadvertently, so he shows an important attitude?'?
But when she thought deep, she found it inappropriate.
Nicole couldn't help but think of the incident that day. When she and Jim went back to their community,
they saw Jacob at the gate.
She wondered whether it was a coincidence for Jacob to appear at such a time on that day. Or maybe
he had already known something about it?
Nicole didn't want to ponder over such a simple thing in this way. However, after what had happened
with Austin, she gradually realized that many things might be more complicated than she had imagined.
For example, Jacob's easy step could fire Austin from the job. And if he wanted, Austin could get a
promotion and a pay rise by his one word..
Could ordinary people and ordinary businessmen do that?
Besides, the two policemen who came to the scene of the case called Jacob Mr. Jacob. So... It has not
only involved a businessman.
Nicole was confused. She had a simple life and didn't even get involved in the intrigues between girls,
let alone the power whirlpool.
It was true that Gu family had a powerful background. But years passed, she had never come into
contact with it, so she gradually forgot the feeling of being trapped in power.
It was a sense of uneasiness.
Time flies to Saturday. Nicole got up early. She remembered that when she left Jacob's place last
weekend, , he said that he would send a driver to pick her up.
Therefore, Nicole took care of everything at home early, even made fresh dumplings and froze them in
the fridge, telling Jim to cook them for their mother the next day.
But to Nicole's surprise, when she was waiting until the night, Jacob's driver still didn't show up.
"Sister, why don't you go out?" After finishing his homework, Jim sat on the sofa in the living room. He
asked Nicole as he peeled an orange.
Hearing her brother's question, Nicole calmed down.
She picked up the remote control, changed several channels and stopped on a TV screen of a soap
opera.
"Sister, I'm asking you, why don't you go out for a date today?" With a mischievous smile, Jim
approached Nicole.
Nicole clapped her hands on Jim. "I am not caring about your study. You are starting to care about my
business."
With a sweet smile to Nicole, Jim continued, "let me tell you, girls should be more clingy. You seldom
go out to see him. What if he hangs out with others?"
Sometime, the speaker didn't say anything on purpose, but the listener read his own meaning into it.
Jim's joke hit the nail on Nicole's head.
Now Jacob might be with his fiancee. After all, they were together last week.
"Alright, alright. You are still too young to understand all these weird things. I am going to sleep. you
finish your fruit as soon as possible."
Nicole cursed Jim a bit and then went back to her bedroom.
"I don't care!" an affected scream came from the TV! You just don't care about me! "
Nicole got goose bumps.
When she went back to her bedroom and closed the door, she laughed at herself.
Even though it was just a soap opera, at least she could speak out in such a reasonable way, and she
was even not eligible to say this sentence.
She dressed up early in the day And then she waited for the night. and now, 'after waiting for a night,
you looked like a lost soul. What's the difference between you and your concubine in ancient times?'?
She was now taking a life like a walking dead.
Nicole mocked herself for a while and then went to bed with her head down.
Half an hour later, she almost couldn't catch her breath. Then she got out of the quilt again, staring at
the black ceiling in a daze.
The sound of TV died out in the living room, and the light that came through the crack of the door
disappeared. Jim went back to his bedroom and closed the door.
Perhaps what Jacob said last week was just a throb.
Now that a week had passed, Jacob might have forgotten all about it.
Nicole's eyes were wide open in the dark. She looked a little lonely.
Actually, Jacob didn't forget it. He didn't just say it casually. He even finished his work ahead of
schedule and planned to spare some time to get along with Nicole.
Unfortunately, something happened to the branch company of Gu family in London and he had to go to
solve it.
It happened all of a sudden. Before Jacob could tell Nicole, he was urged to board the plane.
When Nicole was staring at the ceiling, he was in the plane listening to his assistant talking about the
company in London.
Jacob listened to his assistant and looked at the darkness out of the plane window.
He thought of Nicole.
'What is she doing now?'
Without his interruption and requirements, she should be happy to sleep well at the moment.
Although he knew it clearly, Jacob still felt a little depressed.
"Mr. Jacob? Mr. Jacob? "
Hearing this, Jacob came back to reality.
Jacob turned around and coughed. "Go on," he said seriously
"The stock market has not fallen into limit recently, but compared with before..."
This time, Jacob was distracted.
Nicole didn't remember how she fell asleep, but when she woke up, it was already the next morning.
The sunshine was shining golden when it passed through the gap of the curtain.
Nicole squinted her eyes, recalling what happened the whole night before, and stretched.
"Sister, are you up?"
There was a knock on the door from Jim.
"I'm getting up." Nicole replied and got up to change her clothes.
"Well, I have made breakfast for you. Come out to have breakfast since you get up."
Nicole couldn't help smiling. Although her brother was so considerate which worried her, she had to
admit that sometimes his behaviors were really warm.
"I'll be out in a minute."
Nicole changed her clothes and folded the bed happily. She grabbed her phone and went out.
Nicole clicked the unlock button and was stunned after glancing at it.
An unread message.
It was from Jacob.
