Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 37

Nicole stared at the screen for a few seconds and picked it up.

Even if Jacob didn't come to her, she would call him. She couldn't just let what happened to Austin.

"Hello."

"What are you doing?" Jacob asked coldly.

Nicole went back to the kitchen with her phone and checked if the water was ready. She replied, "yes, I'm preparing the dinner."

After a while, when Nicole was wondering if Jacob had hung up the phone, she heard him saying, "do you want to accompany your mother tonight?"

Seldom, it was not an order, but a probing and inquiry.

Nicole was about to say something, but she suddenly changed her tone, "it's okay, Jim will accompany her tonight."

"When will you come over then?"

Nicole thought for a while and replied, "I have had dinner with my mother. I want to wait till her to sleep, okay?"

She said it very carefully, fearing that Jacob would change his mind and say no.

But today, it seemed that Jacob was in a good mood and didn't lose his temper. Hearing Nicole's question, he surprisingly nodded.

After saying that, he said considerately, "Okay, I'll ask the driver to wait for you downstairs."

"No need!" Nicole refused before thinking twice.

"What?" A displeased voice came from Jacob on the other end of the line.

Nicole knew that this tone was just a sign of Jacob's unhappiness. She hurriedly explained, "there are many uncle and aunt exercising at night in the community. When they see me go out, they keep asking me about it. It's a waste of time. I'll take a taxi myself, or you can ask the driver to wait for me outside the community."

"…… I'll pick you up outside. " Without asking more questions, Jacob hung up the phone.

Nicole put the phone in her pocket and sighed with relief.

"Sister, are you going out tonight?" Out of nowhere, Jim looked at Nicole curiously.

Nicole was a little embarrassed when she was discovered by her brother. But since her brother had heard it, she could not hide it any more. So she told Jim in a straightforward way, "Jim, I'm going out tonight. Can you help me take care of mom for me?"

"Of course, I promise!" Jim clenched his fists to show his strength.

Nicole smiled, put the washed fish into the pot and began to peel the potatoes.

Standing aside and watching it for a while, Jim touched his chin and asked Nicole like a little adult, "sister, why didn't that man come to our house? It was always you who insisted on going to his house."

"Well...." Nicole was afraid that her brother would think of something bad. She glanced at his mother who was not there, and coaxed, "it's because of our mother. I just divorced. If our mother knows that I have a new boyfriend so soon, she will definitely scold me again."

"Is that so?" Jim asked in confusion.

Nicole put on a serious look and said, "of course. Once bitten, twice shy. Mom is a patient now, so she will be sensitive. Promise me, You won't let mom know that I am in love."

"Okay, I promise you."

"Good boy." Nicole touched her brother's head with satisfaction.

Jim giggled, revealing a row of white teeth.

After accompanying Judy to sleep, Nicole took Judy's clothes and was ready to leave.

Unlike the previous ones, this time she didn't have to hide from Jim and was sent out of the house with a smile.
