Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 213

Jacob's mother's words were like a slap on Nicole's face.

Indeed, if her mother knew that she was with Jacob, she would definitely be mad. And she still kept it from her until Jacob's mother came to her.

It was not only a shame, but also anger and disappointment.

Nicole gave the phone back to Jacob feebly, walked back and sat beside Jim.

"Sister..." Jim called Nicole worriedly.

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Repeated Nicole. She leaned back against the cold wall, staring blankly at the white ceiling.

It was her fault. She was so immersed in the so-called love that she forgot her mother who had been kept in the dark.

If she had realized this earlier, she would have thought that Albertan wouldn't let it go and tried to tell her mother about her relationship with Jacob. Maybe the result would be different.

After hanging up the phone, Jacob walked to Nicole, sighed slightly, put his hand on Nicole's shoulder and pinched it.

"I'm sorry..." Jacob apologized in a low voice.

Nicole looked down at Jacob and saw his guilty look. She shook her head and said lightly, "you don't have to say sorry. It's my fault. It's all my fault."

"Nicole, I will fix the problem with my mother. It won't happen again..."

"You can leave now. I don't want to hear you say that now." Nicole didn't want to hear what Jacob was saying. She closed her eyes and showed a gesture of refusal.

Jacob stood still, looking a little hurt.

Jim took a look at Nicole and then at Jacob. He pushed away Jacob's hand which was on Nicole's shoulder and looked at Jacob seriously. "You can go back first. I can take care of my sister." As he spoke, he winked at Jacob, indicating him to leave first.

Jim had been guessing the relationship between Jacob and Nicole since the moment Jacob showed up with Nicole. He sat quietly and looked at his sister, who had always been polite and alienated, getting angry with this man. He guessed that this man was the boyfriend that his sister had hidden.

This man seemed to care about his sister very much. So Jim seemed to be persuading Jacob to leave, but in fact, he helped him.

The less he said, the better.

"Well, I'll go back first. If you have any new progress, let me know." Jacob also understood what Jim meant. He said with disappointment. Seeing that Nicole didn't have any reaction, he took out a platinum business card from his suit pocket and handed it to Jim. At the same time, he winked at Jim.

Jim nodded without saying anything.

Jacob left reluctantly. Nicole felt sad, so did he. He said he wanted to solve his mother's problem, but he had no idea how to solve it.

"Sister, he's gone." Jim said softly, holding Nicole's hand when he saw that Jacob disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

Nicole finally opened her eyes and looked at the direction of the corridor, confused and helpless.

"Sister, mom will be fine. Don't worry." Jim added.

"I know. Everything will be fine."

Jim had a lot of questions to ask Nicole. He wanted to ask her something about Jacob, and what the two of them had said on the phone, and what had happened to the woman who had made his mother faint. But when he saw the fragile expression on Nicole's face, he swallowed all the questions.
