Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 227

It was nearly twelve o'clock when Nicole took a taxi there. There were only a few people on the road, except for the road lamps which were still on and the cars driving silently.

"Thank you." After paying, Nicole closed the door and trotted up the steps.

The security guard had already received the order from Jacob, so when Nicole explained her identity, he let go of Nicole.

Nicole took the direct elevator all the way up to the door of the CEO's office.

Pushing the door open, Nicole anxiously looked into the room. The moment she saw him sitting on the CEO chair in a daze, her heart was so painful that she couldn't breathe.

"Jacob..."

Hearing this, he turned to look at Nicole with a tired and bitter smile. "I want to pick you up, but I'm too tired to move."

"It's okay. I came upstairs by myself." Nicole walked up to him, put her handbag on the table and held his hand. "Are you okay?"

Jacob kept silent. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No."

Biting her lips tightly, Nicole nodded and hugged him. For the first time, she hugged him like a guardian.

"Nicole..." Leaning his head against Nicole's chest, the expression on his face, which had been cold and rational for the whole day, finally showed a crack.

He said in a sobbing tone.

"Nicole..."

"Yes, I'm here."

As if he had confirmed his sense of security, his shoulders began to shake. He nestled in Nicole's arms and shed sad tears.

"Waah... Waah..."

The depressing and heavy cries resounded through the spacious conference room. With Jacob in her arms, Nicole gritted her teeth and looked up at the ceiling, forcing her tears back.

She couldn't be fragile at this time.

It took him a long time to stop crying. Nicole didn't say a word. She quietly stayed with him.

"Am I useless?" After wiping his tears, he asked Nicole.

"No." Nicole answered without hesitation, "You are the strongest and the best person I have ever seen."

"My father won't say that. If he sees me like this, he will definitely criticize me for being emotional and incompetent."

"It's not up to you to decide what happened all of a sudden. However you are, it's reasonable. " Comforted Nicole softly.

"Yes, it's too sudden." Jacob frowned, showing a puzzled and aggrieved expression. "He shouldn't come back so soon. According to the schedule, he came back the day after tomorrow at the earliest. If he hadn't come back in advance, would things not have happened? "

Nicole sensed something wrong from Jacob's words, but she didn't show it because he was emotionally unstable. Instead, she continued to comfort him, "things have happened. You still have a lot of things to deal with. At this time, you have to take good care of yourself, understand?"

Jacob remained silent.

Nicole knew clearly that her comfort was in vain. In fact, when such a tragic thing happened, no one else could comfort the victim. Because she couldn't feel the same way.

Nicole had experienced the same feeling when her father had a car accident. She understood the comfort from a distance, but when it happened to the person she loved most, she was still powerless. It was no different from those who comforted her in the past.

"No matter what happens, I will be with you." Nicole bent down and looked into Jacob]'s eyes. She held his wrist tightly as if she was delivering the energy to him through physical contact.

Although Jacob didn't say anything, he leaned against Nicole like a child.

Three days later, the funeral of Jacob's father was held as scheduled.

As a friend, Nicole, Frank and Bevis attended the funeral. At the funeral, Nicole saw Albertan again closely. But this time, Albertan was not as dignified and proud as she used to be. She seemed to be more than 10 years older and looked sad. She needed the help of servants all the time.

"I'm sorry." When Albertan came over, Nicole slightly bowed to Albertan and whispered.
