Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 223 Nervous, Jacob

"I mean..."

Nicole's expression changed from surprise to happiness, "Mom, is that true! You agreed to our relationship! " If Judy didn't just come back from the hospital, Nicole would have picked her up and circled around excitedly.

A touch of embarrassment flashed through Judy's eyes. She said awkwardly, "no, I just want to call him over. I want to meet him first. Of course, he is so busy that he may not be able to spare time... "

"Of course he can!" "I'll tell him now. It's great that you are willing to see him. You will definitely like him. He's really good." said Nicole

She hadn't seen him yet, but her daughter praised him like this. It seemed that her daughter had been caught to death. As an outsider, Judy sighed helplessly and turned back to the bedroom. "Tell him. I'm going to have a rest first."

"Okay! Mom, have a good rest! " Seeing that her mother's bedroom door was closed, Nicole turned around and dialed Jacob's number. She told him that Judy wanted him to come here.

Jacob stammered.

"Really... Really? "

"Of course it's true. My mother just said that when you are free, she wants to meet you."

Jacob blurted out, "I have time now..." Then he thought it was too hasty, so he said to Nicole, "I'll go to your home tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

"By the way, is there anything special in your family? It's just a kind of custom that I should pay my attention. " Jacob asked cautiously.

Frowning, Nicole thought for a while and couldn't think of any customs, so she said casually, "nothing special. It seems that It's better to prepare double things if someone come to visit my parents. That's it."

"Got it. I'll do that."

For this rare progress, Nicole was extremely happy. She held the phone excitedly and talked with Jacob on the phone for nearly an hour until her lips were dry but she had not finished what she wanted to say.

Most of the time, Jacob listened in quiet. Sometimes he would say something, but Nicole would say a lot.

However, Jacob didn't feel bored at all. Instead, he listened with keen interest, as if Nicole was not saying some useless nonsense, but teaching some classical courses.

"Hey, are you still listening?" Nicole stopped and asked as she didn't have Jacob's response for quite long time.

Jacob laughed lightly, "Yes, I'm listening."

"Well, you didn't say anything for a while. I thought you were asleep."

"Of course not. I'm sitting here." Jacob said in a soft tone, as if he was coaxing a child, "go on. I'm listening."

However, Nicole said, "forget it. It's meaningless." Then she changed the subject and asked Jacob, "by the way, can you do me a favor?"

"What do you think?" Jacob got dissatisfied with Nicole's sudden politeness.

"HMM... Please help me take back my tools. I haven't been able to make video these days. I guess I am about to lose my fans. " Nicole said with regret, "although my place here is not as good as yours, I can make do her as well."

Jacob was stunned, but he didn't make a fuss when he realized that it was Nicole who said that. "Do you have time to do that? You have to take care of your mother every day, right?"

"Yes, I just cook for my mother and chat with her every day. In fact, it won't take much time."

Seeing that Nicole insisted, Jacob didn't say anything more but said, "Okay, I'll ask someone to fetch your things tomorrow and bring them to you. Or, I can buy you a new set. "

"No, thanks. It's too wasteful to buy another one. Besides, I'm quite familiar with that one. I'm good with it." Nicole didn't want to waste money here.

"Okay."

The two of them kept talking until it was time to go to bed. Although they were still reluctant to leave, Nicole hung up the phone and went to take a shower. She was ready to have a good sleep for an important new day.

Jacob, who never got nervous even in front of hundreds people in a meeting, was too nervous to fall asleep that night.

Jacob tossed and turned, wondering what he needed to buy. Sometimes he searched online, or sometimes he asked his assistant to help him. He could not only win the favor of the elders, but also not be too extravagant.

According to his understanding of Nicole, Jacob inferred that Judy should be a simple and honest person. Such a person shouldn't like those exaggerated postures. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

But if he kept a low profile, would he look too arrogant?

Jacob thought for a long time and didn't fall asleep until the latter half of the night. After only two hours, Jacob was woken up by the alarm clock again.

He wiped his face and got up to tidy up.

Although Judy meant that they would only have a meeting, Jacob didn't dare to be careless. He chose a conservative and well-made suit with a silver gray tie, making himself look exceptionally energetic.

When he finished tidying himself up and went to the door, he was shocked by the two cars full of gifts.

"Well..." Jacob twitched.

With two huge dark circles under his eyes, the assistant hadn't slept for a whole night. He hurried forward and explained to Jacob, "Mr. Jacob, this is what you ordered. It's bought overnight. There are things good for brain, for blood circulation and for health. All the good health care products and skin care products in the market are here."

Because of the CEO's arrangement, Jacob tried not to put his hand on his forehead. After a few seconds of relaxation, he said lightly, "I'll pick a few. You can take the rest back."

"What?" The assistant was confused. "Where should I take them back?"

"Give them to someone else, or you can use them yourself." Jacob deliberately glanced at the dark circles in the assistant's eyes and said, "judging from your complexion, your kidney is not very good which needs nutrition."

The assistant didn't have time to defend himself, but he also didn't dare to. He could only watch Jacob choose eight boxes from the two cars he had bought. Each hand was holding four boxes. The red boxes looked very festive.

"Well, I'll give you the rest." Jacob didn't say anything more. He carefully put the gifts he had chosen into the car and started the car.

The assistant was left alone, weeping silently in the wind, of course, tears of joy.

Although he almost didn't need these health care products for middle age and old age, he was satisfied that he could satisfy Jacob after working all night.

After getting in the car, Jacob sent a message to Nicole, telling her that he was on the way. Nicole was surprised at his fast speed, but she didn't say anything else.

Although Jacob looked calm, he was very nervous. His hands, holding the steering wheel, were sweaty in the air-conditioned car.
