Sweet Sorrow

"Yes, I might go back tomorrow."

Jacob leaned against the headboard and chatted with his mother on and off. His voice was soft, which showed that he was very obedient when facing his mother. He was totally different from the usual him.

Nicole's heart sank as she heard Albertan's voice from Jacob's phone.

She hated herself, but she hated this woman much more.

If it hadn't been Albertan, who forced her to leave Jacob and even forced her to write the breakup letter, she and Jacob wouldn't have experienced those pains.

Nicole hated her weakness and inability. She could only be controlled in the game. She hated the arrogance of Jacob's mother, and the way his mother looked at her, as if she was a rubbish on the roadside and she had no self-esteem, no personality, which could be trampled by anyone wantonly.

The woman she hated was the closely mother of the man who was once loved with all her heart and now she had good feelings with once again.

Nicole was not only hated, but also angry. She was angry with Jacob's mother. She was angry that Jacob's mother managed to break them up but put all the blame on her.

As for Jacob's mother, she was the one to blame. But she still got along well with Jacob and enjoyed his love and respect.

For what?

Nicole turned around with her back to Jacob. She clenched her teeth to not lose her temper and not reveal all the dirty past.

Of course Nicole thought she was not great, but she just didn't want Jacob to be hurt again. His love in youth had collapsed in the heart of Jacob. She couldn't let Jacob doubt the family bond any more.

But after all, she was unwilling.

After Jacob hung up the phone, Jacob looked down and found that Nicole had closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep.

"Good night."

Jacob bent over and kissed Nicole on her forehead. Then he turned off the bedside lamp and lay beside her.
