"Mr. Jacob, you are back."
Lily walked up to Jacob and helped him take off his coat happily.
Jacob was a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at Lily and asked casually, "what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Hearing that, Lily chuckled. "Miss Nicole went shopping today and brought gifts for us."
"Really? Really? " The person didn't report this to Jacob. He was a little shocked.
"That's right. Miss Nicole, she is so sweet that remember to bring us gifts as soon as she went shopping."
Jacob was infected by Lily's smile and smiled too. "Yes, it's really good."
"Have a seat, Mr. Jacob. I'll ask Miss Nicole to have dinner downstairs."
"Yes."
A few minutes later, Nicole went downstairs and appeared at the table.
Jacob glanced at Nicole and pretended to know nothing, "Lily said, you went shopping today?"
Nicole cast a quick glance at Jacob and lowered her head immediately. "Yes, I went to buy something."
"Is money enough?"
"What?" Nicole looked at Jacob in confusion.
Jacob wiped his hands with the hot towel brought by a servant and said naturally, "there is a sub card on the bedside table of the bedroom. You can use it when you want to go shopping in the future."
Only then did Nicole understand what Jacob meant. She shook her head and refused, "I'm fine. I don't need too much money to buy anything special."
Besides, she was the sold to Jacob, so how could she spend his money?
"Don't think too much. I'm not considering for you. I'm considering for myself. You're mine now, and it represents my image. People will misunderstand that I'm not generous enough if you are too mean on money."
Hearing this, Nicole suddenly had a strange feeling.
'is Jacob making fun of me or is he pretending to be good to me?'?
Nicole was confused.
She stole a glance at Jacob, who was concentrating on eating. Unexpectedly, they looked at each other and Nicole's face turned red. She lowered her head and pretended to drink soup. She dared not to peep at him anymore.
The dinner table was quiet. Lily, who was in charge of taking care of the dishes, just smiled. As an outsider, she could see through Jacob who was double-minded and Nicole who was mindful.
As time went by, she liked Nicole more and more. Nicole was different from the type of women like Daisy. Nicole was clever, considerate and filial. Nicole was a good girl.
The most important thing was that this girl and Mr. Jacob liked each other and they were like soul mates.
However, unfortunately, there seemed to be some misunderstandings between them, and both of them didn't know how to express their feelings. They were always roundabout.
As an outsider, sometimes she felt worried.
Heaving a sigh in her heart, Lily hoped that the two of them could be happy in the end.
After dinner, Nicole went back to her bedroom. Jacob was busy in his study for a while. Then he slowly turned off the light and went back to his bedroom.
In fact, he was somewhat absent-minded when he was reading the documents in the study.
He was always so serious about his work but not today. He began to wonder whether the shirt Nicole bought was for him. What did it look like? Was it suitable for him?
Just because of this kind of thinking, the things he could have dealt with in an hour took him two hours, and his efficiency was greatly reduced.
Jacob closed his lips and pushed the bedroom door open. The curious look on his face was gone. He put on a forced smile and walked in.
In the bedroom, Nicole was leaning against the head of the bed, typing something on the computer.
At that moment, Jacob looked at the paper bag and couldn't say anything.
"Well... What did you want to say? " Nicole raised her head and asked. She noticed that Jacob's face didn't look well, so she thought that something must have happened.
Without saying anything, Jacob took the paper bag and glared at Nicole coldly.
Nicole thought that Jacob didn't like the things she bought, so she explained with embarrassment, "I bought it by the way. I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much."
Jacob snorted and replied impatiently, "shut up."
Nicole was speechless, "..."
After he criticized Nicole, Jacob opened the bag. As he expected, there was a man shirt inside.
Although it was not as fancy as his custom-made clothes, this shirt was grey and steady, and it was made with pure cotton fabric, giving a quiet and gentle feeling.
"Do you want to have a try?" Nicole noticed that Jacob was staring at his shirt, she reminded him in a low voice.
"Yes."
Jacob took off his bathrobe and put on his shirt again.
The well cut shirt perfectly wrapped the upper part of Jacob's body, including his shoulder line and waist line.
Nicole nodded with satisfaction, "it does fit well. I was worried that it might not be suitable. I didn't expect that it is not only appropriate, but also beautiful."
Jacob blushed. He took off his shirt unnaturally and put on his bathrobe again.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm beautiful never because of the clothes but myself."
Nicole did not know what to say at that moment! ! !
Jacob, What's wrong with you today!
