Jacob didn't know what happened. He frowned and looked at Nicole. "Let's go."
"Oh, okay." Nicole lowered her head quickly to hide her embarrassed and upset expression and went
upstairs with Jacob side by side.
A sense of disappointment, powerlessness and anger crept into her heart.
For a moment, she even felt that she was a joke.
What a big joke.
"I'm so sleepy I am going to sleep. " Nicole yawned, let go of Jacob and went into the bedroom.
Without saying a word, Jacob loosened his tie and walked into the bathroom.
Turning her back to Jacob, Nicole bit her lips tightly. She was afraid that she couldn't help crying and
could not help questioning Jacob.
But she also knew that she couldn't do that. She couldn't lose her face either.
Nicole struggled to walk to the bedside and lay down on her side. She forced herself to think of her
mother, her brother, and even Consuela, to shift her attention from Jacob and not to be so easily
influenced by him.
This was not easy, because the previous memory was once beautiful and deep. She had spent these
days with him every day. Even when she closed her eyes, she could clearly paint the appearance of
Jacob in her mind, which could not be ignored at all.
Nicole struggled in her bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, until Jacob finished washing and walk out
of the bathroom.
Just like many other nights, Jacob closed the door and turned off the light. Then he walked to their bed
and lifted their quilt to bed.
The familiar shower gel aroma immediately filled Nicole's nose, and then she found that Jacob
stretched one of his arms and held her waist.
All of a sudden, Nicole lay still, rigid.
She was in a bad mood. She had no interest in being intimate with Jacob.
Fortunately, instead of doing anything else, Jacob fell asleep, with his arm around Nicole.
Listening to his long and even breath, Nicole felt even more depressed.
At the thought of this, she couldn't help but wonder what these days meant to Jacob. Were they just
like a cake which could be used to make a dessert after a meal to give him a rich and delicious feeling?
Nicole didn't sleep well last night, so she woke up late the next day. When she woke up, Jacob had
already left the villa.
"Miss Nicole, what would you like for lunch?"
Nicole turned to the servant and asked, "is the cake I made last night still in the fridge?"
"Yes, it is."
"I'll have that. You cook for yourselves, and I am not eating else."
The servant looked embarrassed. "Miss Nicole, aren't you a little tired of only having cakes? If you
have no appetite, we can make more dishes so that you can eat whatever you want. "
Hearing the maid's words, Nicole suddenly felt that it was too troublesome, so she changed her words,
"it's not necessary. You just cook as usual, home cooking is fine."
"Okay."
The servant went to make lunch. Nicole sat at the table with the leftovers, spoon after spoon, and ate.
The cake had be kept the whole night. The green color was becoming dim, just like Nicole's mood at
the moment.
Actually the cake still tasted good, but Nicole felt bitter as well just like her heart.
However, Nicole ate up the rest of the cake with spoon by spoon.
She wouldn't throw away the food which was made happily by her.
---
In the afternoon, after the meeting of shareholders, Jacob got a call from his mother.
His mother asked him to go to a place in the call.
Since Jacob had just finished his work, he didn't ask more questions on the phone, but directly asked
the driver to drive him there.
However, before Jacob got off the car when he arrived at the place, he wanted to turn around and
leave.
Inside the carved gate, there was a group of well-dressed men and women were sitting or standing
gracefully. They were chatting happily.
Jacob was too busy to attend such kind of parties. If he had plenty of time, he would rather stay with
Frank and his other friends.
However, his mother had given him an order. If he didn't enter the house, It was out of his respect to his
mother.
Jacob took a deep breath and changed his boring expression. Then he put on a proper smile and got
into the villa.
"Mother." Jacob walked to Albertan with a smile and bowed slightly.
"Jacob, you are here." Albertan put down the cup of black tea in her hand, stood up happily and
introduced Jacob to everyone here.
"Hello." Jacob nodded politely.
Noticing that these people cast envious or admiring glances at Jacob, Albertan was quite smug.
This was the son she brought up and who she was proud of.
Although Jacob didn't like this kind of place, he was able to deal with it. He talked joyfully with the other
people. He was always calm and elegant.
They chatted with each other for a while. When Albertan stood up to greet other relatives and friends,
Jacob also stood up and walked over there with her.
"Mom, if there is nothing else, I want to go back to the company first." Jacob said to his mother in a low
voice when he found no one around them.
"Anything urgent?" Albertan asked, turning to look at Jacob.
Jacob shook his head hesitantly. "No, not urgent. I just have something to deal with in the company..."
"Then you can go back." Albertan didn't dismiss her son's request. But before Jacob could say
something, she added, "tell me first before you leave."
Tell her?
Although Jacob was confused, he didn't show it on his face. He followed his mother to walk past
several people who were standing and then walked to another table.
After seeing clearly who were sitting at the table, the perfect and imperceptible smile almost could not
be hung on Jacob's face.
"Andrea, it's been a long time."
"Long time no see. It's been more than a year, right? But I've been back for a long time. I think we can
catch up."
Albertan smiled, "Jacob, Say Hello to your Uncle Andrea."
Jacob bowed slightly. "Hello, Uncle Andrea. How are you?"
"You're handsome, young man. I've heard that you have several successful cases when I was abroad.
Good boy, you are really a daunting man!" Andrea Yu smiled and gave Jacob a thumbs up sign.
With a faint smile on his face, Jacob didn't retort or show off. "I'm flattered," he said modestly
"Well, you go and have a walk with Daisy. I want to chat with your Uncle Andrea for a while." Albertan
patted Jacob and ordered.
Biting his lips, Jacob looked at Daisy who was full of expectation and said, "okay."
Although he didn't show any resistance, at this moment, Jacob was filled with contempt in his heart.
Yesterday, Daisy had been to his company. She deliberately fell on him in his office. Hearing those
wishful words from him, Jacob got disgusted at that time. But because of the identity of Daisy and the
relationship of two families, he couldn't really do anything to her.
After all, no matter how bossy and unreasonable he was, he was not a man who would hit and curse a
woman.
But he didn't expect that it was just one day that Daisy arranged such an arrangement again for him.
Jacob sneered in his heart and clenched his fists secretly. It seemed that this woman really thought she
could control him with his mother's help?
There was no way.
