Sweet Sorrow

On the way back home with Nicole, Jacob received a phone call.

It was about Austin.

At that time, Nicole was sitting beside Jacob, leaning her head on his shoulder. So she also heard what was said on the phone.

Austin was caught by the police.

At that moment, Nicole's body stiffened, and the original ease and relaxed expression on her face disappeared in an instant.

She got to know what was going on with Austin from the assistant, and she also knew that Austin would be caught sooner or later. But to her surprise, this day came so soon.

Since she had known about the truth, It had been less than half a month that Austin got caught.

"You heard it."

Jacob put down his phone and said indifferently.

Nicole gritted her teeth and nodded.

The original happy atmosphere in the car suddenly froze, and both of their faces turned sour at the same time.

"What do you want to say?" Jacob asked as he looked down at Nicole.

Nicole shook her head, "nothing."

She really didn't have anything to say. Even if she was stupid, she knew that she couldn't say anything good for Austin in front of Jacob. Moreover, she didn't want to say anything either.

The evils we bring on ourselves are the hardest to bear.

It was only a matter of time that Austin was caught by the police. It was not Jacob's fault.

"You really don't want to plead for him? If you really care about him, maybe I can let him suffer less. " Jacob stared closely at Nicole, trying to find a hint of reluctance in her eyes.
