Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 222

"All right, Jacob. Go ahead with your work." Jacob was peeling fruit for Albertan when Albertan suddenly said.

Jacob didn't stop what he was doing. He smiled and said, "No problem. I'm not busy."

Albertan's eyes darkened. She knew that the reason why her son was so obedient and sensible was that she had agreed to Nicole's marriage. Otherwise, her baby son must not be like that. But even if she had a clear mind, she couldn't show her dissatisfaction directly. On one hand, she didn't want to quarrel with her son too much, which would hurt the harmony between the mother and son. On the other hand, she gave in because she had another trump card.

That was David, the father of Jacob.

Albertan believed that her husband, who always aimed at interests, would never allow a woman with such a background as Nicole to marry into the Gu family. What's more, a few years ago, although it was she who stood out to stop Jacob, it was with the consent of his father. This was enough to show that the two of them had the same thought.

Looking at her son's happy profile, Albertan sighed from the bottom of her heart. Why do you like such a girl who doesn't match you at all.

Even if she came from a poor family, she could still have a education and achievements.

"Mom, eat the apple."

"Okay." Albertan took the apple from Jacob, took a bite and smiled, "it's so sweet!"

Jacob wiped his hands, cut the rest apples into small pieces and put them in front of his mother. "Fruit is good for your skin. You can eat more when you are free."

Albertan said helplessly, "I have eaten enough. If I keep eating, I will need to lose weight."

"How could it be? Mom, you are so thin. Why do you lose so much weight?"

"Well, don't be garrulous. Go ahead with your work. I'll pack up and wait for your aunts to come over for tea." Albertan pushed Jacob away and watched him go upstairs with a smile.

But there was a hint of resentment in her smile.

Nicole, who had occupied the whole heart of her son before she married into the Gu family, got full of resentment.

Jacob had been in the city these days and didn't go to his new company, but it didn't matter much. Now the internet worked so well, so it was natural for everyone to have a good working atmosphere with him online. But even if he was not here, the company could still run normally.

After he went upstairs, he went straight back to the study. He called Nicole first, but Nicole didn't answer him. So he sent another message, but there was still no reply. From the driver he sent to pick up Judy from the hospital, he had known that Nicole and her family had returned home safely. The reason why he called was that he missed Nicole and wanted to have a few words with Nicole.

Nicole didn't reply, so she must be busy with her own business or asleep. Thinking of this, Jacob opened the folder and began to deal with his business.

There were a lot of things to deal with. After more than an hour, Jacob leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to calm himself down. He thought of Nicole, and then thought of Nicole's career. These days, he had sent someone to record the video and make Nicole's account continue to operate. However, Nicole's company had been urging Nicole to stream, hoping that Nicole would not waste resources and lose fans in waste.

As a businessman, of course Jacob knew that he had to seize some opportunities. Especially for the new media, once they lost the initiative and heat, it would be difficult to get them back.

But he knew that he couldn't ask Nicole to continue to work in such a situation.

Therefore, he told the company that if Nicole continued to develop like this, he would be responsible for all the losses caused by Nicole.
