It was no longer a problem that Nicole gave a shirt to Jacob. As Jacob didn't show any happiness or unhappiness, Nicole forgot it in a few days.
In the evening, when she was having dinner at the table, she received a call from Jacob.
Nicole put down her chopsticks and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"I have something to deal with tonight, so I won't come back for dinner."
Jacob's voice came from the other end of the line.
Nicole took up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of shrimp, slipped it into her mouth, chewed and replied, "I know, you won't come back for dinner, Lily told me."
"…… I may come back late tonight. Don't wait for me. Go to bed early. "
Nicole was confused. She wanted to tell Jacob that she hadn't waited him for a long time. Why did he say that all of a sudden?
However, she was a sensible girl. Although she thought his words were weird, she said obediently, "Okay, I know."
"……" After a moment's silence, Jacob said coldly, "that's it."
Then he hung up the phone.
Nicole was even more confused hearing the busy tone from the phone.
'He just won't come back for dinner. Lily has already told me about this. Why does he say it again?' she thought.
Moreover, he told her not to wait for him and asked her to go to bed early, as if she had been waiting for him every day.
Nicole shivered and had goose bumps all over her body.
"Miss Nicole, is it from Mr. Jacob?" Lily was filling a bowl of soup. She saw what just happened and asked Nicole with a smile.
Nicole nodded, "yes, I feel his tone is strange. I'm not used to it."
Lily could almost hear clearly what they talked on the phone. Hearing what Nicole said, Lily burst into laughter and pointed out the key point, "in fact, Mr. Jacob just missed you."
"What?" Nicole looked at Lily in disbelief.
"He called you because he missed you, but I don't know what to say. I have to keep silent."
Nicole was not pleased by her explanation, but terrified.
Because such a behavior was really not like Jacob.
'isn't he the kind of person who doesn't hesitate to do anything as long as he likes it? How could he act so euphemistically as an ignorant boy?
Sensing Nicole's suspicion, Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and whispered to her, "Nicole, didn't you see? Mr. Lu has been wearing the shirt you bought him most these days."
"…… Really? " Nicole got up later than Jonny every day. Sometimes when Jacob came back home at night, she was asleep too. Besides, she didn't check his wardrobe, so she didn't notice what clothes he was wearing.
But she knew that Lily took care of Jacob every day.
Hearing Lily's words, Nicole was more confused.
"Mr. Jacob cares about you a lot, but he wasn't willing to tell you."
Lily smiled, making fun of her.
