A man called Nicole?!
Consuela turned to look at Nicole, blinking her eyes, bearing the snicker that she was eavesdropping.
Nicole took over the phone. She immediately became wide awake when she heard Jacob's voice.
She cast a glance at Consuela and sat up again, retreating a little away from her.
"What's up?" Nicole asked Jacob.
"Who answered your phone just now?"
Nicole stood still and covered Consuela's face with her feet, preventing Consuela from pouncing on
her. "She was my classmate. Don't you..."
She stopped once she realized that if she said 'don't you remember her', Consuela would have
recognized who was on the phone.
After all, there were only few classmates they both knew.
Fortunately, she didn't spill the beans, and Jacob didn't ask her closely. He just said "Okay" and knew
it.
"I have known what happened yesterday." After a long while, Jacob opened his mouth.
Hearing that, Nicole's heart beat faster. She really wanted to ask Jacob, 'now that you have known it,
what are you going to do? How do you think about it? Do you think it's me or Daisy who is wrong?'
For one thing, Consuela was here at side. For another, she didn't know how to ask those questions.
'Even Consuela's words are true and Jacob doesn't like his fiancee, then what does that mean? After
all, he still has a fiancee.
"It won't happen again." Jacob continued.
Nicole gritted her teeth and said, "okay. I get it."
"If there is nothing else, I have to hang up." This conversation was so embarrassing that Nicole felt
uneasy.
If the call was nothing but these words, she'd rather Jacob did not call her.
"I have something to deal with these days. You can stay with your family first. I will send the driver to
pick you up days later." Jacob was not angry with Nicole's indifference, but asked her to stay at home.
This surprised Nicole, but she did not ask much and did not show any other emotions, but replied
obediently, "OK, I see."
"……"
After another moment of silence, Jacob hung up the phone.
Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Nicole felt so depressed.
What did Jacob mean? Was it that now she left, he could coax and get along well with Daisy?
That's right. A mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. She was not qualified to show her
dissatisfaction. But Daisy was his fiancee. How could she allow her future husband to keep another
woman in his villa?
The more Nicole thought about it, the more she felt sick of it. She didn't even know why she should still
consider Jacob so well. What was the difference between what Jacob was doing now and dating with
two women at the same time?
To put it more precisely, the red flag was home, as colorful flags floating outside.
In the same disgusting way.
"Nicole, are you okay?"
Asked Consuela in a low voice. Hearing this, Nicole was wide awake from her fury.
She shook her head with a smile, threw the phone aside and lay down again, "nothing, continue to
sleep."
"Who was that? Why do you look pale?" Consuela asked nervously, "is he your ex husband?"
"No, not him." Nicole smiled. "he is just one of my friends. We had a fight a few days ago. It's not a big
deal."
"I see." Noticing the unusual look on Nicole's face, Consuela didn't dare to ask any more questions.
However, she didn't buy that.
From the time she answered the phone to the time she hung up the phone, Nicole's expression
changed and earnest attitude, she could tell at a glance that the person who called was not simple.
But obviously, Nicole didn't want to say anything about it.
Although Consuela usually didn't take things too seriously, she could tell that something was wrong and
that Nicole didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't ask more.
She tucked herself in and continued to sleep.
Hearing Consuela's rhythmic breathing, Nicole kept her eyes open and stared at the white wallpaper in
a daze.
She realized that she had been too apparent in front of Consuela.
She knew that Consuela must be very curious about the phone call and the person behind it.
But she couldn't tell this to Consuela. Even if she would make Consuela unhappy, she couldn't tell
Consuela what had happened between her and Jacob.
Nicole bit her lips and her eyes were sour.
In the morning, Consuela got up, had her breakfast and was about to leave. Judy asked her to have
lunch together again and again, but she insisted on leaving.
Nicole was in a bad mood, so she didn't persuade Consuela to stay but went with Consuela
downstairs.
After Consuela got into the car, Nicole stood next to her and waved at her, saying, "drive safe."
Consuela nodded and fastened her seat belt. Then she turned to look at Nicole for a while, and said
seriously, "Nicole, if you have any trouble, you must come to me, okay?"
"…… I know. "
"We have known each other for so long. I know that you have gone through a lot of difficulties. As your
friend, I am willing to share your burden and also hope that you can treat me as your friend. Please
give me this chance, okay?"
Hearing Consuela's words, Nicole was touched. She nodded and said, "okay."
"Okay, I'm leaving. Take care of yourself." Consuela said briskly as she walked away, winking at Nicole.
Watching Consuela's car slowly slide into the traffic, Nicole felt hard to breathe.
'If I could have met Consuela earlier, If I could have Consuela in that difficult days, What happening
between her and Jacob wouldn't have happened. 'she mused.
She believed that if Consuela was there, Consuela would be able to help her through the pain.
However, this was fate, and there was no if.
She had agreed to Jacob's request. She had really been in such relationship with Jacob. She had no
choice to step back.
Nicole stood in the wind for a long time until her eyes were wet with the wind. Then she turned around
and went home.
"Has Consuela gone?"
Nicole nodded, "yes, She's gone."
Judy walked to Nicole with two plastic bags, "Nicole, look, I have prepared a bag of pickles and a bag
of spring cakes for you. Take them when you leave later."
"Mom, I'm not leaving today." Nicole took over the two bags and said helplessly.
"Why not? Aren't you going to work tomorrow? " Judy was confused.
Nicole's face froze. Yes, she almost forgot the lie she told her that she was working outside.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that our company went on a trip to another city. I didn't attend, so I have a
holiday these days." Nicole told a lie quickly.
"What?"
Nicole pouted her lips and said, "mother, why do you look unhappy? I happen to have time to
accompany you and Jim. You should be happy."
Judy put on a smile, "of course I'm happy. I'll put it in the refrigerator first."
Judy carried two bags of food and went to the kitchen, with her back to Nicole. Her face was full of
doubt and puzzlement.
