Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 229

Nicole followed Jacob through the long corridor and entered the main house.

The main house of Gu family was a combination of European style and Chinese style. It was spacious and magnificent, like a mansion of a rich family in the Republic of China.

"Mr. Jacob." On the way, The servants all bowed to greet Jacob when they met Jacob and Nicole. Nicole, who was held in Jacob's arms, felt very embarrassed.

As soon as they entered the main hall, Nicole saw Albertan sitting on the sofa. Seeing that Albertan was looking at her, Nicole lowered her eyes and greeted softly, "Hello, auntie."

"Mom, Nicole has brought her own dumplings. Would you like to have a taste?" Jacob asked Albertan.

Albertan didn't say anything but looked depressed.

"Well, let's go to the dining room." With these words, Jacob held Nicole in his arms and walked towards the dining room in front of Albertan.

With a lingering fear, Nicole secretly glanced at Albertan. Seeing that Albertan was looking ahead with empty eyes, Nicole didn't know what she was thinking about. The storm Nicole thought didn't come, which made her a little surprised.

Was it because of the death of Jacob's father that Albertan was too heartbroken to care about her?

"What are you thinking about?" Jacob pulled out a chair to push Nicole to sit down, and naturally took the food box from Nicole.

"Not bad. It's still warm." Nicole took out the dumplings from the container and said, "this is the vinegar we bought. Try it. If it's not good, you can use your own instead."

Jacob shook his head, grabbed his chopsticks and started to eat the vinegar in the pot.

Seeing that Jacob had eaten for a while, Nicole looked in the direction of the main hall with confusion and asked, "is your mother all right?"

"No," Jacob answered curtly

It seemed that Jacob was at odds with Albertan. Seeing that Jacob was unhappy when she mentioned Albertan, Nicole stopped asking.

After a while, Jacob ate up all the two dishes of dumplings. Nicole smiled with relief and said, "I was worried that you had dinner. You have no space in your stomach. I didn't expect that you could finish all.

Jacob took a sip of the tea served by the servant and said casually, "I'm not in the mood to eat today."

"HMM..." Frowning, Nicole held Jacob's hand and asked softly, "what's wrong? What happened again? "

"No, it's just..." Jacob took a look at Nicole and said reluctantly, "about my mother."

Nicole was not a person who liked to force others. The reason why she asked was that she cared about Jacob. Since he didn't want to talk about it, she ended the topic in time.

"Well, is there anything I can do for you?"

"…… It's okay. "

"Okay, then Are you busy now? If not, let's have a chat. We haven't seen each other for several days. " Nicole acted like a spoiled child.

Jacob's face softened. He nodded, took Nicole's hand and stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you to my room."

Nicole smiled sweetly, "okay."

When passing by the main hall again, Nicole found that Albertan was no longer there. Without any response, Jacob went upstairs directly.

Jacob's room was on the third floor. The two went upstairs. He pointed at the door one by one and explained for Nicole. One was his chess room, One was his study, and the last one at the corner was his bedroom.

The style of this bedroom was different from the decoration of Jacob's Villa, it was filled with a strong European court style, thick and dignified, making people feel heavy pressure.

"What's wrong?" Jacob noticed that there was something wrong with Nicole, so he asked.

Nicole came to herself and shook her head with a smile, "nothing. I just didn't expect you to like this style."
