Sweet Sorrow

"Bevis?" Nicole was surprised, "you are in touch again?"

"Not. I heard that he would show up at the party tomorrow night. I plan to go there and pretend to run into him."

Hearing Consuela's plan, Nicole couldn't help but ask, "Consuela, it has been so many years, haven't you put it down yet?"

"Of course. I have nothing to do recently, so it's boring. Anyway, you have to accompany me tomorrow night. I'll be stage frightened if I'm alone."

Since Nicole met Consuela again, Consuela had been helping her a lot and caring about her. This was the first time that Consuela had put forward a request.

Nicole couldn't say no.

She thought for a while about Jacob's kind attitude these days, then she gritted her teeth and agreed, "Okay, send me the address after you are done. I'll come to you tomorrow night."

"No need. Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up."

"Tray..." Nicole stopped saying one word. She hurriedly smiled to cover her uneasiness. "You have an important person to see tomorrow night. You must dress up. It will be a waste of time if you pick me up. Send me the address. I will go there alone."

Consuela didn't insist anymore and nodded in agreement.

Nicole made a cake as planned. She recorded the video and uploaded it on the Internet. Then she spent a happy afternoon with the servants.

However, she had kept thinking about how to tell Jacob that she was going to see Consuela.

She got along well with Jacob these days, so she could ask him to let her go. However, Nicole was worried that if he also proposed to go with her or he arranged someone to watch her, what should she do?

She was fine with being under surveillance all the time, but Consuela didn't know about it at all. If Consuela discovered it and got into trouble, she didn't know how to explain.

Nicole stayed up late that night. When she was a little sleepy in the early morning, she suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door, and then the door of the bedroom was opened.

'Jacob is back?'

Nicole thought, but she did not turn her head to look. She heard the rustling sound behind her, and then the sound went into the bathroom.

The sound of the water came from the bathroom. After a while, the sound of the water stopped and the footsteps arose again.

The bed beside her sank a little, and a big hand slid down Nicole's waist, forcing her to get back.
