Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 204

A few days later, it was the last few days at the end of the year.

At the thought of the possibility that Jacob would stay alone during the Spring Festival, Nicole bought the paper scissors in advance and decorated the house on the day she left. She had specially made dumplings and frozen them in the refrigerator. She wrote down the process of making dumplings with a note and pasted it on the fridge.

Maybe it was because Jacob didn't want her to leave from the bottom of his heart that he disappeared after she got up in the morning. Jacob didn't show up even when she left in the afternoon.

After thinking for a while, Nicole didn't contact Jacob as well. She wrote down note words, put it on the shoe cabinet at the door, and left with her luggage.

The driver was waiting for her downstairs. Seeing her coming downstairs, he opened the door.

After returning home, Nicole went upstairs with her luggage. As soon as she knocked on the door with her fingers, the door was opened from inside. Jim appeared behind the door and smiled happily.

"Sister, you are back!"

"Yes." Nicole carried her luggage into the room, but she didn't see Judy. She changed her shoes and asked, "where is mother? Has she gone out?"

Jim nodded, "the aunt downstairs came to see her just now. She sent her downstairs. She must be visiting the aunt's place now."

Nicole nodded, changed her shoes and looked at Jim with a smile. "What's wrong? Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"I..." Jim's secret was exposed. He scratched his head with embarrassment and said shyly, "mom said she didn't want me to ask you for something..."

"Okay." Nicole opened the suitcase, took out the computer box, tilted her head and asked, "do you mean that you don't want it anymore?"

"Computer!" Jim looked at the computer box in Nicole's hand with his bright eyes, and almost a bear pounced on her.

Seeing her brother's surprised look, Nicole was also happy. She handed the computer box to her brother and said happily, "open it."

"Okay!"

Jim was very excited, but he was very careful, as if he was afraid of breaking the computer. He gently opened the box and took the computer out of it like holding a treasure.

"The computer has been installed and the software has been downloaded. You can use it directly." Although Nicole didn't understand computer so much, she still repeated what Jacob had said.

"It's so beautiful." Jim couldn't help touching the computer. After a while, he turned to look at Nicole and said with tearful eyes, "sister, thank you."

Rubbing her brother's head affectionately, Nicole said, "you don't need to thank me. I have promised you."

Jim couldn't wait to go back to his bedroom with his computer. Nicole sat alone for a while, and then took out the new year's goods from her suitcase and put them away.

Although the Du family was a small family, there were many traditional etiquettes. After coming back home, Nicole made meat and vegetables for the Spring Festival with her mother, cut the window Grilles by herself, and bought things for New Year's Eve ceremony.

Soon it was New year's Eve.

Judy took out the new clothes that Nicole bought for her and put them on. Then she sat on the sofa, receiving the new year's greeting from Nicole and Jim, the she gave them the Lucky Money. The family sat around the TV, preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Sister, let's celebrate the New Year's Eve together this year." Jim suggested while eating chicken feet.

Nicole nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year's Eve together."

"What about mom?" Jim asked.

Judy hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'll go to bed after sitting with you for a while. I'm really old and can't stand it anymore."

"Okay. You should go to bed early, Mom."

When Judy went to bed, Nicole and Jim sat side by side on the sofa, eating all kinds of snacks on the table and complaining about the program on TV.

Jim sighed, "it's better that you are here with us. It's more lively. You didn't stay with us last year. I had been driven to bed by mom at this moment last year. How could I watch TV like now?"
