Sweet Sorrow

"Then why do you need to ask someone you don't want to admit for help?"
"I..." Albertan said slowly, but she didn't go on. Nicole's questioning made her speechless.
After all, Albertan was highly educated. Although there were some problems in her concept, she was not a hysterical and
unreasonable person like Selina. Facing such a strong Nicole, for the first time, she did not know how to defend herself.
Because Nicole didn't say anything wrong.
"Sorry, I have to go now. Please forgive me if I offend you. " Nicole slightly bowed to Albertan and left the greenhouse.
Although her words were full of joy, she was still despised and felt uncomfortable.
After walking along the corridor for a few steps, Nicole suddenly saw Jacob in front of her. She stopped in surprise and asked,
"You... Why are you here? "
"I just used up the spade and decided to put it back. What's wrong? Aren't you sleeping? Why are you here? "
Hearing his tone, Nicole was sure that he didn't hear the conversation between her and Albertan. She smiled and shook her
head, "I'm awake. I come out to see you."
"Okay."
"Why do you take the spade?" Nicole changed the topic.
Jacob pointed at the other side of the corridor, which was the opposite direction of the greenhouse. "I turned over the soil in my
garden. Several roses are about to bloom."
"Roses?" Nicole was surprised.
"Well, do you want to have a look?" Jacob suggested.
Nicole couldn't believe that he could plant roses. She nodded and said, "Okay, okay. Let's have a look."
"I'll take you there."
Jacob held Nicole's hand and walked into the garden as if nothing had happened. Nicole turned her head and looked at the
greenhouse. She happened to see Albertan coming out of the greenhouse and standing at the door, looking at her and Jacob.

Gritting her teeth, Nicole said nothing and left with Jacob.
When they arrived, Nicole found that the garden was at least several times larger than the ordinary garden. There were all kinds
of flowers and plants. One of them was planted with roses.
"Wow!" Nicole couldn't believe her eyes. "Are these all planted by you?"
"Yes."
"That's awesome!"
Being praised, Jacob showed an embarrassed expression. He shrugged and said unnaturally, "actually, I'm not taking care of it.
It's basically done by the gardener. I just come back occasionally to do it."
Nicole understood what he meant, but she still smiled and said, "It's still great."
"......" Jacob pouted and stopped.
The two stayed in the garden until the evening. It was almost time for dinner. Looking at the time, Nicole thought of the
unhappiness between her and Albertan in the greenhouse and said goodbye.
"Are you leaving now?" Jacob frowned.
"Well, you must have a lot of work to do. I'll come to see you another day, or call me when you're free. " In fact, Nicole was
reluctant to leave, but she also didn't want to face Albertan in a short time. "My micro-blog updates and videos are on track. If
you need me to do anything, just tell me."
Jacob kept silent.
"Then... please send me out. "
Jacob remained silent.
Nicole was really no good at seeing him like this. She shook his arm and coaxed him with a sweet smile, "well, if you want me to
be with you, I'll be with you tomorrow, okay?"
"......"

Just then, a servant came over.
"Mr. Jacob."
Jacob looked at the servant and asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
The servant bent down and handed over a white envelope with both hands. "Mrs. Albertan said she wanted to go back to
London to live for a period of time. She has just left. This is for you."
The smile on Nicole's face froze.
He took off his gloves, took the envelope and opened it in front of Nicole.
"Jacob, I'm going to London. I won't come back for the time being. I'll leave it to you. You can move in in advance. "
These few words did not explain the cause and effect, but only told Jacob her own decision. And the last sentence was
especially thought-provoking.
"You..." It referred to the couple, Jacob and Nicole.
Jacob couldn't help asking the servant, "Is that all? Didn't she say anything else? "
The servant shook her head, "No."
Nicole also read the brief content of the letter. Shocked, she felt a little ashamed. Why did Albertan suddenly want to leave? Was
it because of the cold war between them and she talked to her disrespectfully?
"Well, you can leave now." Jacob put away the letter and said to the servant.
The servant bowed and didn't leave immediately. Instead, she asked Jacob, "Mr. Jacob, dinner is ready. Would you like to have
dinner now?"
"Wait a minute." At the moment, he had no appetite.
"Yes, sir."
After the servant left, Nicole was in a daze for a while and couldn't help telling Jacob the conversation she had with Albertan a
few hours ago.

Jacob listened quietly without any expression on his face.
"I'm sorry..." Nicole apologized, "I was a little angry at that time, and I didn't expect it to be like this. If I didn't say that, maybe..."
"It doesn't matter." Jacob interrupted Nicole's self blame and said gently, "it's okay."
"What?" This time, it was Nicole's turn to be confused. Was it because she made a wrong statement that made him stand on her
side?
With a slight smile on his face, he explained, "actually, I heard your conversation outside. When you get angry, you make a loud
voice. "
This news made Nicole even more surprised. Embarrassment appeared on her face. She was too embarrassed to say anything.
"Let's go to have dinner." Jacob suddenly said.
"...... Don't you blame me? " asked Nicole.
Turning his head to look at Nicole, Jacob teased, "Why should I blame you?"
"The way I talked to aunt was so impolite... "
"Yes, it is. But you didn't say anything wrong."
"But Auntie is an elder after all..."
Jacob was completely amused by Nicole's words. He looked down at Nicole and said, "Weren't you very confident when you
defended my mother just now? Why are you so timid now? Are you afraid that I will be unreasonable to protect my mother?"
Being seen through, Nicole had nothing to say but to pretend to be dumb.
"Well, don't think too much about it. What you said is good, which makes my mother look at you with new eyes." Jacob rubbed
Nicole's hair.
Confused, Nicole asked, "How do you know?"
Waving the letter in his hand, he raised his eyebrows and said, "If my mother hadn't changed her opinion of you, how could she
let you live in the main house of the Gu family?"

"But didn't she leave angrily?"
"You are so stupid. She left because she was too embarrassed. Let's go to London to see her when she is relieved. " Jacob held
Nicole's hand and said, "let's go. Dinner is ready."
Nicole was still confused. She didn't expect that the change would come so fast. What's more, she didn't expect that her hard-
working would gain respect.
When she was led forward, she looked up at Jacob, whose eyes were full of sorrow. But it was much better than before.
