"All right, Jacob. Go ahead with your work." Jacob was peeling fruit for Albertan when Albertan
suddenly said.
Jacob didn't stop what he was doing. He smiled and said, "No problem. I'm not busy."
Albertan's eyes darkened. She knew that the reason why her son was so obedient and sensible was
that she had agreed to Nicole's marriage. Otherwise, her baby son must not be like that. But even if
she had a clear mind, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction directly. On one hand, she didn't want to
quarrel with her son too much, which would hurt the harmony between the mother and son. On the
other hand, she gave in because she had another trump card.
That was David, the father of Jacob.
Albertan believed that her husband, who always aimed at interests, would never allow a woman with
such a background as Nicole to marry into the Gu family. What's more, a few years ago, although it
was she who stood out to stop Jacob, it was with the consent of his father. This was enough to show
that the two of them had the same thought.
Looking at her son's happy profile, Albertan sighed from the bottom of her heart. Why do you like such
a girl who doesn't match you at all.
Even if she came from a poor family, she could still have a education and achievements.
"Mom, eat the apple."
"Okay." Albertan took the apple from Jacob, took a bite and smiled, "it's so sweet!"
Jacob wiped his hands, cut the rest apples into small pieces and put them in front of his mother. "Fruit
is good for your skin. You can eat more when you are free."
Albertan said helplessly, "I have eaten enough. If I keep eating, I will need to lose weight."
"How could it be? Mom, you are so thin. Why do you lose so much weight?"
"Well, don't be garrulous. Go ahead with your work. I'll pack up and wait for your aunts to come over for
tea." Albertan pushed Jacob away and watched him go upstairs with a smile.
But there was a hint of resentment in her smile.
Nicole, who had occupied the whole heart of her son before she married into the Gu family, got full of
resentment.
Jacob had been in the city these days and didn't go to his new company, but it didn't matter much. Now
the internet worked so well, so it was natural for everyone to have a good working atmosphere with him
online. But even if he was not here, the company could still run normally.
After he went upstairs, he went straight back to the study. He called Nicole first, but Nicole didn't
answer him. So he sent another message, but there was still no reply. From the driver he sent to pick
up Judy from the hospital, he had known that Nicole and her family had returned home safely. The
reason why he called was that he missed Nicole and wanted to have a few words with Nicole.
Nicole didn't reply, so she must be busy with her own business or asleep. Thinking of this, Jacob
opened the folder and began to deal with his business.
There were a lot of things to deal with. After more than an hour, Jacob leaned back in the chair and
closed his eyes to calm himself down. He thought of Nicole, and then thought of Nicole's career. These
days, he had sent someone to record the video and make Nicole's account continue to operate.
However, Nicole's company had been urging Nicole to stream, hoping that Nicole would not waste
resources and lose fans in waste.
As a businessman, of course Jacob knew that he had to seize some opportunities. Especially for the
new media, once they lost the initiative and heat, it would be difficult to get them back.
But he knew that he couldn't ask Nicole to continue to work in such a situation.
Therefore, he told the company that if Nicole continued to develop like this, he would be responsible for
all the losses caused by Nicole.
Of course, he didn't tell Nicole about this decision.
He knew Nicole well. If he knew this, Nicole would continue to make video even if she stayed up late.
But he didn't want her to suffer.
Jacob slightly opened his eyes and gave a bitter but firm smile. His mother didn't need to say anything,
and he also knew that as long as he married a girl from a family of equal status, everything would be
much easier. He didn't need to work so hard.
But he would rather work hard. Jacob shook his head with a smile. That kind of life was too boring. If
Nicole hadn't appeared in his life, he might have followed his mother's request and embarked on that
easy path. However, since Nicole had appeared in his life, how could he let Nicole slip away like this
two times?
In other people's eyes, everyone else was good. Only he knew in his heart that he couldn't be without
Nicole.
He had already given his heart to Nicole, so he couldn't give it to anyone else.

As it was late for dinner in the afternoon, [暖暖] cooked light food. She only cooked a little porridge and
two vegetables. Considering that [Jim was growing up, Nicole boiled another egg for Jim.
The family sat around the table for dinner. Thinking of the call in the afternoon, Nicole muted her phone
in advance and put it in her pocket.
Judy said nothing and ate in silence.
Therefore, the whole meal was extremely quiet.
After dinner in silence, Jim went back to his room to do his homework, and Nicole cleaned the table
and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When she was washing, Judy suddenly walked into the
kitchen.
"Mom, what are you looking for?" Asked Nicole, shaking off the water stains.
Judy shook her head. Seeing that Nicole's fair hands were soaked in the water full of detergent, she
moved her eyes sadly and said lightly, "there are a lot of bowls at home. Let's wash them tomorrow."
"It's okay. I'll finish it soon."
Judy thought for a while and faltered, "I I'm much better now. Don't wash the dishes anymore. Your
hands are hurt. "
Nicole was puzzled by Judy's words, but she could tell that her mother was worried about her, so she
smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry. Just wash the dishes. My hands won't be hurt. Go to rest. Don't
stand too tired."
"Alas..." Judy sighed deeply. She was really worried about marrying such an obedient and sensible
daughter into a family like Gu family. Selina had already let her daughter taste the feeling of being
looked down upon. She really didn't want her daughter to be looked down upon like that again.
However, there was nothing she could do about fate. She didn't want to break her daughter's heart like
this.
"Mom, I've done here. Let's go to have a rest." In the blink of an eye, Nicole had washed the dishes
and wiped her hands. She came forward to support Judy, "or, mom, do you want to drink something?"
Judy shook her head and covered her palm on the back of Nicole's hand. She had no choice but to say
solemnly, "Nicole, when you have time, call Jacob come over. I want to see him."
Nicole was shocked, "what?"
