Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 7

Nicole looked at the door instinctively and her heart beat faster when she heard the familiar voice.

And she was right.

She gawked at Jacob as he walked into the door. Her wet eyes reddened.

She didn't want to be seen like this by Jacob.

"You... Who are you?"

Sabina stared at the man who had suddenly appeared. She didn't realize what had happened until he walked up to her.

The man in front of her was dressed in a black, well-tailored suit, which was expensive to any sensible person. Moreover, the tailored suit accentuated his broad shoulders, long legs. He looked noble and handsome.

It was her first time to see such a gentleman in her real life.

Sabina was stunned and her arrogance was dejected at what she said.

But she didn't receive any response from him.

Jacob stared at Nicole, who was squatting on the ground and raising her head. He cracked a smile and said, "Go now."

Nicole was stunned. She couldn't believe that Jacob, who hated her so much, would help her.

Was it her illusion.

When she was wondering if she was dreaming, she was pulled up by Jacob and forcefully pulled out of the room.

"Wait!"

But Sabina soon regained her composure and followed them out.

Jacob, who was standing in front of the elevator, turned around and looked at Sabina impatiently.

Although he didn't say anything, it was apparent that there was something in his eyes.

"She can't go. She stole something from my house."

Sabina was afraid of Jacob's eyes, so she aimed at Nicole.

Nicole didn't expect that Sabina would slander her like that. And she immediately retorted for herself in front of Jacob, "I didn't!"

"You sneaked out to check the drawers and boxes when Austin wasn't at home. Then you were caught by me. How dare you claim that you didn't do that? You are a thief!"

Nicole was trembling, "you, you are talking nonsense. I just came to get my own things back!"

She looked at Jacob in a hurry, fearing that he would believe what Sabina said.

Noticing Nicole's concern, Sabina turned to look at Jacob.

"Handsome boy, you should be careful. Don't be cheated by Nicole. The face is no index to the heart. She is pretending to be pure. In fact, she loves money very much. Perhaps she is just a habitual thief."

"No... I am not... "

Nicole wanted to refute, but she suddenly remembered what happened five years ago. She looked at Jacob with a fragile expression in her eyes.

Jacob heaved a sigh.

He looked back at Nicole and said disappointedly, "after all these years, I didn't expect that you are still like this."

"No, I'm not."

Just one simple word from Jacob made Nicole feel like falling into an ice cave.

She didn't expect that Jacob would trust Sabina instead of her.

She had expected the result of her promise to Jacob's mother to leave Jacob five years ago.

Nicole turned her head, not trying to defend herself anymore.

"Hey, let me tell you the truth. She's really a liar. Hey, buddy, my Austin..."

"This is my assistant's business card. You can call me if she has stolen anything. I will pay for it."

With the sound of "Ding", the elevator door opened. Jacob interrupted Sabina's nonsense ruthlessly and pulled Nicole into the elevator.

When the elevator door was closed in front of Sabina, she looked at her finger's gold-plated business card, dumbfounded.
