Sweet Sorrow

Judy believed what Jim said that Nicole temporarily moved out because of work. She also urged Nicole to work hard and try to get promoted with pay rise.

As her mother's advice and exhortation, Nicole accepted all of them. She specially invited the idle woman downstairs to her house and chatted with her. Nicole gave the woman some money in private. Nicole hoped that the woman could help her mother and accompany her more when she was away.

The old woman was a laid-off worker with her husband left early. She had nothing to do usually, so she just stayed idle every day, dancing and playing cards to kill time. Seeing Nicole's sincerity, she agreed.

With the woman's promise, Nicole was finally relieved.

Nicole suffered from insomnia, lying in her single bed, staring at the ceiling.

The thought of that she couldn't stay with her mother all the time and couldn't take care of her younger brother made her feel uncomfortable. And she had to move into the villa and live with the ill-tempered Jacob, which made her worse.

She even wished that tomorrow never could come.

At first, Nicole still had feelings for Jacob. But after these days of getting along with each other, after she knew the romantic news about Jacob, her feelings for him had gone away.

Although she could still feel Jacob's love for her, or his desire for her body, she couldn't help making fun of herself when she thought of Jacob's fiancee and other women.

Don't think too much of yourself. Nicole, you are just one of Jacob's mistresses.

While thinking like that, she felt heartbroken.

But she still couldn't close her eyes and cover her ears, pretending that she knew nothing, and that she was happy and she didn't care about it.

Nicole was lost in various fancies and conjectures. She didn't fall asleep until it was almost dawn.

Judy was in a good mood when she heard that Nicole would go to work. She got up early and began to cook. She made dumplings with the fillings and chopsticks to celebrate for Nicole.
