It took Nicole a while to realize what was going on.
"Sis, wash yourself, or mom and I will finish eating." Jim urged her outside.
Nicole held the phone in her hand and went out for breakfast without reading the text.
Nicole ate breakfast absentmindedly.
Although she implied herself not to think too much and not to care so much about Jacob, her brain
seemed to be out of control and reminded her to check the message again and again.
Fortunately, early in the morning, Judy and Jim just got up. They were not so sober, so they did not find
anything wrong with Nicole.
After breakfast, Judy began to exercise as the doctor instructed, while Nicole went out with a basket.
"Nicole, why do you go shopping so early?" The morning exercise aunt saw Nicole and greeted her
with a smile.
Nicole smiled, "Well, food is fresh in the morning."
"You're so diligent."
"Go ahead, aunt. I'm going to buy some food."
Nicole was pulled back by the aunt.
"Aunt, what's wrong?"
"Nicole, well... I've heard about your family. You've suffered a lot these days. But don't be too sad. We
still have a lot of things to go through in the future, right? "
This sudden visit confused Nicole, but she still politely nodded, "thank you."
"Nicole, it's not easy for you to take care of Jim and your mother now. Have you ever thought about
finding another one?"
"I..."
"My nephew is coming back from abroad these days. Would you like to meet him? He is in his early
thirties this year and is doing scientific research. He is the same as you. He got divorced not long ago
and has no children. "
Nicole smiled helplessly. She finally understood why she was suddenly asked so enthusiastically, as
she was going to be her matchmaker.
"Okay, okay. You can go to the market first. Take your time to think about it. I won't force you to do
anything about it. You can go now,"
She didn't even give Nicole a chance to refuse.
Nicole walked out of the housing estate with a basket. The more she thought about it, the more
helpless she was.
Everyone in the neighborhood had known that she had been divorced since Selina had come to make
trouble. At the beginning, they just felt pity for her, but gradually, they began to introduce her boys.
In normal cases, Nicole refused the request for the reason that she just divorced and that she needed
to take care of her mother and brother. But today, she didn't even have a chance to refuse.
Nicole was thinking about it while walking to the market. She finally forgot about the message from
Jacob.
When Nicole got home, Nicole finished cleaning and began to cook lunch.
She didn't do the live stream any more these days. Her stream was basically watched by nobody and it
wasted her time a lot of time.
When she was on the stream, she always thought about many things and thoughts, so her cooking
speed was greatly reduced and the taste was greatly reduced. It was not worth it. She thought for a
while and decided to quit.
Until nearly noon, Nicole's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Nicole was cooking sugar in the frying pan. She was so focused that she took out her phone and
picked it up without checking the caller ID.
"Hello?"
Nicole put the phone on her neck and shouted.
There was no sound from the other end of the line.
Nicole watched the sugar in the pot get thicker and thicker. She didn't have the time to answer the
phone, so she scooped the boiled sugar on the fried potato in a hurry.
A sweet fragrance filled the air.
Turning off the heat, Nicole looked at the shredded potatoes she had cooked for the first time and
smiled with satisfaction.
The potato in her plate was golden and crispy and wrapped in a transparent sugar coat, which looked
delicate and pretty.
Nicole saw enough and straightened up. When she was about to take the dish out, she realized that
the phone was always on her neck.
"Well..." Nicole didn't hear anything and felt strange. She took down the phone and looked at the
screen.
When she saw the caller ID, she couldn't help clenching her fists.
It was Jacob.
And the phone was still connected.
Nicole took a deep breath, bit her lips and said in a low voice, " What's up? "
"Do you see my message?" A moment later, Jacob's voice was heard over the phone.
Nicole frowned. She had been busy cooking after she came back from shopping and had forgotten to
send a message.
Though a little guilty, Nicole answered, "yes, I saw it."
"……" Jacob fell into silence again.
Nicole sensed something wrong. She picked up the unread message and read it.
It read, "I'm in London. Are you awake?
London? It turned out that Jacob had gone abroad and hadn't come to pick her up!
"Well You... "
"Beep -"
Jacob hung up the phone.
Nicole had a bad feeling. She thought the message was something bad. But it turned out to be such
kind of message.
He not only explained why no one came to pick her up, but also greeted her.
However, she didn't reply to it. What's more, when she got a call from Jacob and she showed that she
had read it earlier and didn't want to reply him.
It's really... foolish.
With the phone in her hand, Nicole thought about whether she should call him or not. After hesitating
for a while, she gave up.
If he was in London, it should be three or four o'clock in the morning.
Jacob should be asleep now.
Nicole put the phone back to her pocket and went out of the kitchen to ask Judy and Jim to have
dinner.
"Mom, Jim, it's time for lunch!"
"Coming."
Jacob threw his phone on the table fretfully and drained his glass in one gulp!
As soon as he got off the plane, he started to deal with his business. When he finished some work, he
calculated the jet lag and immediately sent a message to Nicole. He thought he would get a reply when
he was done with his work.
However, when he returned to the hotel, he checked his phone. There was no news from Nicole.
Jacob was worried about Nicole. Without hesitation, he dialed the phone.
As a result, there was nothing wrong and the woman was indifferent to him.
It made Jacob furious!
The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. At first, he felt anxious. Gradually, he also
became fretful physically.
After he reunited with Nicole, he had sex with her regularly. Now he hadn't had sex for a week. He got a
bit desire.
Feeling annoyed, Jacob put down the glass and called his assistant.
He wanted to see the woman who made him angry as soon as possible.
"Arrange all the meetings and schedules to tomorrow."
