Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 221 Disappointed Mom

Jim's thoughts were not as complicated as Judy's. as soon as he heard that his sister took the money from Jacob, he immediately thought of the fact that his sister had to date someone for money. What's more, what happened before seemed to prove that it was true.

At the thought that he thought that man was his sister's true love, Jim felt even more uncomfortable.

"No, it's not like that, Jim." Nicole was going crazy. As said, once the lie was exposed, she would face a series of problems.

"Didn't you have to be with him because of money?"

Nicole didn't want to explain this to her brother at the door of her mother's bedroom, so she took Jim to the living room, sat on the sofa and said seriously, "Jim, it's not like what you think between me and Jacob."

"Then what is it?" Jim wouldn't give up.

He loved his sister. He didn't want her to be with someone she didn't like because of his fault. In addition, among the men who might be together with his sister, the one he was most willing to accept was only Jacob. That was why he wanted to know more.

Seeing her brother's determined look, Nicole knew that if she didn't make it clear, her brother would never let her go easily. So she told her brother everything that had happened between her and Jacob, including their love, separation and reunion.

But she didn't mention that Jacob forced her with money. After all, it was in the past. If Jacob hadn't done that, she wouldn't have fallen in love with him again.

After listening to Nicole's story, Jim was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was going to fight with Jacob's mother. "She is too bullying. How could she bully us like that? If I had known she was so

bad, I would have kicked her out as soon as she entered the house that day!"

Nicole was amused by her brother's exaggerated movements. She held the restless Jim and said with a smile, "well, it's all in the past. Don't be so angry." Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"How can I not be angry? She bullied you so much! If she hadn't been so evil, you and Jacob wouldn't have missed each other for such a long time, and you wouldn't have met that bad guy, Austin! " Well, just after hearing Nicole's words, the word "Jacob Gu" in Jim's mouth had become "Jacob".

"Yes, if she hadn't intervened in our relationship, we wouldn't have been separated." Nicole sighed, then shook her head and smiled: "maybe, but maybe without what she has done, we would also be separated, and we would not be like this again. Maybe this is fate. "

"Sister What are you talking about? "

Touching Jim's head, Nicole said dotingly, "silly boy, you will understand when you have someone you like and experience these things in the future."

Jim's face flushed. He jumped up and faltered, "I like my sister the most. I won't like anyone else. Sister, don't talk nonsense."

"Are you being shy?"

"Of course not! Go and cook. I'm going to do my homework! " Jim pushed Nicole hard and rushed into his bedroom.

Looking at the closed door of Jim, Nicole smiled helplessly. Every time he talked about her love, he always acted as if he had experienced something. As soon as he talked about him, he immediately became very coward.

In a daze for a while, the smile on Nicole's face disappeared slowly. Thinking of her mother's attitude, she sighed and went to the kitchen to cook. Anyway, she had to do what she should do.

Because Judy had gone to bed after she came back from the hospital in the morning, the family didn't start to have lunch until nearly four o'clock in the afternoon.

When the three of them sat at the table for dinner, Judy didn't mention what she had said this morning, and Nicole pretended not to mention it. She helped her mother to pick up food and fill soup, with enthusiasm.

Halfway through the meal, Nicole's phone suddenly rang.

Coincidentally, Nicole's mobile phone was put on the table. Under the noise of the ringtone, the caller ID kept showing. Judy glanced at it and continued to eat without saying anything.

Nicole was extremely embarrassed, because the caller ID showed that her mother had answered a call from it, and she had lied to her mother at that time. She knew that at this moment, her mother must know who was calling. She hung up the phone and lowered her head to eat.

The phone didn't ring again, but it slid into several messages. Pretending not to hear, Nicole put her phone into her pocket and picked up food for Jim.

"Don't you want to know what it is?" Said Judy.

Gritting her teeth, Nicole answered, "nothing serious."

"Take a look." But Judy insisted.

Nicole didn't dare to disobey Judy's order, so she took out her phone and read the message from Jacob.

"What did he say?" Asked Judy.

Nicole answered honestly, "He asked that what I'm doing, and How are you. "

"Okay." Judy didn't show any disgust or anger, nor did she have any superfluous expression. She picked up another piece of food, chewed it and swallowed it.

Feeling the strange atmosphere on the table, Jim dared not breathe heavily. He just rolled his eyes from his sister to his mother, carefully observing her expression.

After waiting for a few seconds, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief without waiting for her mother's warning or order. She was afraid that her mother would be angry again, so she put the phone in her pocket and continued to eat.

"Mom, this is delicious. You should eat more." Seeing this, Jim also picked up food for Judy.

Judy nodded and asked Jim casually, "have you finished your homework?"

"Yes. But I haven't finished the math paper I bought myself. I'll do it after dinner. I'm sure I can finish it before going to bed today. " Jim replied obediently.

Judy was obviously satisfied with his answer. She softened her face and said, "you must have lost a lot of homework these days since you stayed in the hospital. Make up for it these days, or you won't be able to make up for the rest of your homework. Even if you study well now, you won't be able to keep up with it in the future."

"No, I won't. I'm so smart. Even if I don't have class for a semester, I'm sure I can get the first place." Jim said with a smug smile.

Judy glared at Jim angrily and scolded, "why can't you praise yourself? I told you to study hard and study hard. You have to be garrulous with me."

Jim was so frightened that he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

Hearing the conversation between her mother and her brother as usual, Nicole felt warm in her heart, but she was a little disappointed. Just now, she thought her mother would say something to her. But to her surprise, her mother said nothing.

Was it because she was so disappointed that she didn't want to talk about it anymore?
