Sweet Sorrow

Jacob didn't know what happened. He frowned and looked at Nicole. "Let's go."

"Oh, okay." Nicole lowered her head quickly to hide her embarrassed and upset expression and went upstairs with Jacob side by side.

A sense of disappointment, powerlessness and anger crept into her heart.

For a moment, she even felt that she was a joke.

What a big joke.

"I'm so sleepy I am going to sleep. " Nicole yawned, let go of Jacob and went into the bedroom.

Without saying a word, Jacob loosened his tie and walked into the bathroom.

Turning her back to Jacob, Nicole bit her lips tightly. She was afraid that she couldn't help crying and could not help questioning Jacob.

But she also knew that she couldn't do that. She couldn't lose her face either.

Nicole struggled to walk to the bedside and lay down on her side. She forced herself to think of her mother, her brother, and even Consuela, to shift her attention from Jacob and not to be so easily influenced by him.

This was not easy, because the previous memory was once beautiful and deep. She had spent these days with him every day. Even when she closed her eyes, she could clearly paint the appearance of Jacob in her mind, which could not be ignored at all.

Nicole struggled in her bed and wrapped herself in the quilt, until Jacob finished washing and walk out of the bathroom.

Just like many other nights, Jacob closed the door and turned off the light. Then he walked to their bed and lifted their quilt to bed.

The familiar shower gel aroma immediately filled Nicole's nose, and then she found that Jacob stretched one of his arms and held her waist.

All of a sudden, Nicole lay still, rigid.

She was in a bad mood. She had no interest in being intimate with Jacob.

Fortunately, instead of doing anything else, Jacob fell asleep, with his arm around Nicole.

Listening to his long and even breath, Nicole felt even more depressed.
