Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 90 Don't Worry. I Won't Run Away

"Well, stop here and I'll go to the supermarket to buy something." Nicole told the assistant to pull over in front of a supermarket about a kilometer away from home.

Nicole took her bag and got out of the car. She said to the assistant, "you can go to work now. I will take a taxi to Jacob later."

"Mr. Jacob asked me to send you back, so it's my duty to do so. If anything happens to you, I can't afford it." The assistant was worried.

Nicole laughed awkwardly. "Are you afraid that I will run away?"

"No, it's not like that..."

"Don't worry. Jacob have been watching on me. I can't run away. Besides, I'm not that stupid to run. You don't have to worry about me."

The smile on Nicole's face faded away. She looked helpless and sad.

The assistant wanted to explain, he was just worried about her, not monitoring her, but Nicole did not give him the chance. Before he could open his mouth, Nicole walked into the supermarket.

The assistant: "..."

He sat in his car, thought for a while, and decided to call Jacob and report what had happened.

"Yes, sir. I got it."

The assistant made a turn and left the supermarket after asking for Jacob's approval.

On his way back, he couldn't help thinking that, if as Nicole said, Jacob had sent people to monitor Nicole secretly all the time?

But why did Jacob do this?

'is Jacob really afraid that Nicole will run away as Nicole has guessed?'?

According to the difference between Jacob and Nicole, it was Nicole who should be afraid that Jacob would run away, but it was not that Jacob was worried about Nicole.

That was too absurd.

Nicole bought a few pounds of beef and ribs in the supermarket, and each coat for her mother and brother. Then she went out of the supermarket.

After leaving the supermarket, she looked around and found that the assistant's car was not nearby. She could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In Du family, Judy received the message from Nicole who said she was going back home. Judy quickly put down the embroidery in hand and went to the kitchen to wash food and cook.

Therefore, as soon as Nicole entered the house, she smelled the flavor of the dishes.

"Mom, I'm back."

Nicole changed her shoes in the doorway. She went to the kitchen with the plastic bag in her hand, and greeted her mother with a smile while she was frying mushroom and shredded beef.

Judy wiped the sweat off her forehead and said happily, "you're back. Have a seat and have a rest. I'll make the soup and the dishes."

"Mom, you don't have to cook so many dishes. I can't eat so much. Look at you. You are so tired." Nicole put the things on the tea table, walked into the kitchen and hugged her mother on the shoulder from behind.

"Why shouldn't I? You've just come back from company for such a long time, so you must have a good meal at home. The dishes in our company are all bluffing. It should look good but not taste good, shouldn't it? "

Hearing her mother's words, Nicole felt warm in her heart. Her mother was worrying that she might not eat well outside.

"Mom, the food in our company is actually very good. Look at me, am I getting fatter?" Nicole quipped.

Looking at Nicole, Judy laughed, "you are not fat at all. You are still too skinny. You would be blown away in the wind. You need to add more than twenty pounds."

Nicole was a little thin, less than 100 pounds. But if she weighed 20 pounds more, she would be a little fat.

But in her mother's eyes, her daughter was the apple of her eye and would never be too fat.

"Mom, will Jim be home in an hour, right?" Nicole asked while she was helping Judy.

"Yeah. We don't have to wait for him. You eat first."

Nicole didn't eat first. After helping Judy finish cooking, she pulled Judy to try on the clothes she had just bought.

"Mom, put them on. Try them on and I'll change if they don't fit you."

"Come on! I have a lot of clothes. Don't buy me clothes anymore. If you have money, you'd better buy yourself some more. You should look better."

Despite saying so, Judy put them on with joy. It was a woolen coat, the size just fitted.

She looked into the mirror and complained to Nicole, "you've just been working for a few days. Don't buy more. I've been already an old woman. It is waste to buy me new clothes."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. You are not old at all. I think you are very young." Nicole happily held her mother's hand and looked at her for a while, planning to buy her a pair of good-looking shoes next time she went home.

When they were chatting happily, Jim came back. Nicole asked him to try on the new clothes. After he made sure that the clothes matched him, the family sat down and had dinner together.

Judy kept picking up food for Nicole and asked her to have more.

"Sister, will you go back to the company tomorrow?" In the middle of their meal, Jim asked Nicole.

"I'll go back soon." Nicole said.

Judy put the chopsticks in the air with disappointment on her face, "are you going back tonight? Can't you go back tomorrow? "

Nicole was struggling. But when she thought of Jacob, who was not happy, she sighed and said helplessly, "no, I have to go back tonight."

Seeing her mother and brother reluctant, Nicole gritted her teeth, "What about... I'll call and ask for leave. "

"No," Judy disagreed. "You just started to work, and your boss doesn't like your asking for leave. You can't. You should go back now. You can come back again when you have a holiday. It's not far anyway."

"Yes." Nicole smiled, "I will send you a message as soon as I can come back home."

"Send it early. I'll cook delicious food for you."

After dinner, Jim went back to school for his study. Nicole turned around at home and found an embroidery in her mother's room.

Nicole asked her mother in confusion, "Mom, why do you want to make this?"

"I'm bored to kill time." Judy opened the embroidery on the table and showed a massive peony embroidery. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Nicole was surprised. "This is very beautiful, but why do you make this? There is no hanging space in our house."

Judy rolled back the embroidery carefully, held Nicole's hand and said, "The woman downstairs told me this one is quite profitable. The embroidery can be sold at least five thousand."

"Mom, you..."

Judy knew that Nicole was not happy about her making money, so she said quickly, "don't worry, Nicole. I'm not tired at all. I don't embroider. I just do it when I watched TV in the daytime."

Seeing that her mother took the initiative to explain, Nicole did not blame her mother any more. She could only say worriedly, "Mom, you should stop where it should stop. Don't keep embroidering all the time. It's too troublesome."

"I know, I know."

After they talked for a while, it was time for Nicole to leave. Nicole told her mother that there were some space where she could make cakes in the company. She decided to take her tools to her.

Judy didn't doubt it and hurried to help Nicole clean up.

While tidying her up, she asked casually, "Nicole, are you keeping in touch with that Ron?"
