Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 67 Her Strategy At That Time

But Nicole was a conservative girl, and it was a little cold at night, so she couldn't walk barefoot. She checked it and chose a pair of black sportswear, which looked stylish.

Nicole was amused with the final looks.

Usually, Jacob would wear tight clothes, so she didn't notice how big his clothes were. But now, his clothes were really too large for her?

Was 20cm shorter that much?

Nicole finally realized the difference between her and Jacob in their heights.

She squatted down, rolled up her trouser legs which had extended to the ground and made sure that they wouldn't fall, barely taking her stuff out of the bedroom.

The villa was brightly lit. When Nicole got to the ground floor, she looked around and found that Jacob was not there. She felt relieved and was about to leave in a hurry.

However, when she was about to go out, a servant suddenly stepped forward and stopped her.

"Miss Du, I'm sorry. You can't go out now."

"What?" Nicole was confused.

"Mr. Jacob told me that you should stay here for rest tonight." The maid repeated. She felt a little guilty, but she didn't move when stopping Nicole.

This was totally out of Nicole's expectation.

"Miss Du, please go back to the room and have a rest." The maid's tone was very calm, but Nicole had a feeling that she was a prisoner.

Her face suddenly changed and shouted, "get out of the way!"

"Miss du..." A look of embarrassment appeared on the servant's face.

"Get out of the way!" Nicole was in a panic. She thought of the forbidden words that Jacob said in the car, but she didn't expect that those threatening words had become reality so soon.

The servant still didn't move. Nicole rushed forward without any explanation and tried to leave by force.

But before she could rush over, the door of the villa was slowly closed by the other servants.

"Miss Du, I'm sorry." The servant said in a firm tone.

Nicole stared at the closed door for a long time and sneered.

"Is Jacob really going to lock me up?"

The servant lowered her head and said, "Miss Du, Mr. Jacob just let you to have a good rest."

"Have a good rest. Take a good rest. I need to talk to him. Where is Jacob?"

"Mr. Jacob is out."

Nicole wanted to get angry, but the servant was respectful. She was not a shrewish person. She couldn't be fierce. Being extremely exasperated, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Jacob's number.

"Jacob, what the hell are you doing?" Nicole roared as the phone was connected.

Jacob was talking with his parents in the main house of Gu family. However, Nicole shouted so loudly that Albertan, who was sitting nearby, heard it.

"Stop it. I'll call you after I finish my work." Embarrassed, Jacob gave his parents a stare and then hung up the phone.

"It's so late. Who's calling?" Albertan asked, looking puzzled.

Jacob shrugged his shoulders and told a lie, "a model I knew about recently... She has a loud voice and a little wild."

David glanced coldly at Jacob. He did not scold him, but expressing his dissatisfaction.

"Jacob, what model? How do you know her? Where are you now? " Albertan could not help asking.

"We are just hanging out for some fun since we knew each other. It's not like what you think, mom. You don't need to worry about it."

Hearing Jacob's words, Albertan immediately realized that he was just playing. They could only be bed partners and she would not become her future daughter-in-law.

When she got it, she sighed. Although she knew that her son was still young and his heart was confiscated, she still hoped that his son could have a stable life and live a good life with the right girl.

But there were not many girls suitable for him.

Although Albertan didn't show it on her face, she wouldn't have agreed to let them get married if Jacob brought the so-called model to their home.

Family background was the most basic requirement for her.

Even if the girl couldn't have such a strong background as Gu family, at least she should be educated, reasonable and gentle. Otherwise, she had various means to make the girl retreat.

Just like in the past, she just used some tricks to make the girl who seduced her son disappear herself.

Although his son hadn't been able to regain his courage for a long time, he had learned what to do now.

"I'm sleepy and I'm going to bed now. You stay here tonight and don't go out." Albertan patted Jacob's arm and went upstairs.

In the living room, there were only the servants, who stood with hands down, and the father David and son of Gu family Jacob. David had always been very serious, and Jacob seldom chatted with him. They sat silently for a while, and Jacob wanted to leave.

"Your mother asked you to stay here. Just stay here." David suddenly said.

Dumbfounded, Jacob sat back on the couch and responded.

David closed the folder in his hand, stood up slowly and also went upstairs. After a few steps, he stopped and turned his head to look at Jacob.

"Don't talk nonsense to your mother anymore."

"……"

In a daze, Jacob stared at David as he went upstairs. Jacob didn't move until the corner of David's clothes disappeared.

He felt that his father might know something about him.

This feeling made him a little uneasy and uncomfortable.

Although Jacob wanted to go back to his own villa, he had no reason not to stay when his parents both asked him to stay.

If it was in the past, he could leave whenever he wanted. Anyway, he didn't do anything wrong, and he didn't fear that his parents would blame him.

But now, after being with Nicole again, he had a guilty conscience. So he began to be careful, and he was trying his best to hide Nicole's matter from his parents.

He even played a role as a playboy.

So he stayed.

After washing his face and brushing his teeth, he leaned against the bed and opened his laptop to read some documents. At last, after analyzing the investment process for a while, he turned off the computer and went to bed.

He wondered what Nicole was doing at this time.

At the thought of this, he got his phone from the bedside table, stared at it blankly for a while, and then put it back.

It was better not to call. If he heard Nicole's voice at this time, he was afraid that he couldn't control himself and wanted to go back.

Actually, Jacob just worried too much. Even if he did call Nicole at this time, he couldn't get it through.

Because Nicole's phone was powered off automatically.

"Miss Du, please go back to your room and have a rest." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"When will Jacob come back?" Sitting on the stairs with her legs crossed, Nicole stared blankly at a point in the air and asked in a hazy voice.
