Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 34 I'm Here To Settle Accounts With You!

"I..."

Holding Nicole's hands tightly, Jim sobbed and complained, "Sis, you can't lie to me anymore!"

The care and treasure he showed on his face were all seen by Nicole. Looking at her brother who was in tears, she was about to cry too.

She really didn't want to lie to her brother, but she also didn't want him to worry about her.

He lost his father when he was very young, and his mother had been seriously ill in bed. As his elder sister, she had divorced. All these had been a heavy blow to Jim.

How could she bear to see her brother to suffer more?

Under Jim's gaze, Nicole bit her lips and nodded. "I really like him, Jim."

"Didn't you lie to me?" Jim asked in disbelief.

Nicole sat down with Jim and said seriously, "I didn't lie to you. I really like him. He is a good man. He is really good."

Jim sniffed and asked, "Is he better than Austin?"

"Of course, he is much better than Austin." Nicole replied sincerely.

Although for many times Nicole couldn't understand Jacob, and his behaviors were even excessive. But when she was in great need of help, he stepped forward and saved her mother's life by all means, even though he was mean.

Nicole had only one shortcoming: kindness.

She always suffered losses because of her kindness. But she also encountered a lot of good things and people because of her kindness.

If there was anyone else who treated her well, she would definitely try her best to pay back.

If Austin was willing to pay the fees for the surgery, Nicole might be moved and get back with him, even for the simple purpose of repaying his help.

But Austin hadn't been willing to pay for it, which gave Jacob a chance.

But in Jacob's mind, it was also reasonable for Austin to be reluctant to pay the money.

"Sis, when did you two get to know each other? Why have I never heard you mention him?" Asked Jim confusedly.

"We..." Nicole paused and said, "Actually we knew each other a long time ago, but we had some misunderstandings at that time. Now we meet again, and we are together."

"So you've known each other for a long time. No wonder you're back together so soon. Sis, if he doesn't treat you well, you must tell me, and I'll beat him for you!"

Nicole was amused by her brother. She rubbed her brother's head with doting eyes.

"My brother Jim has grown up to a real man."

As she went back to her own room from her brother's, the smile on Nicole's face faded away.

She threw herself on the bed and buried her face in the pillow.

'Do I really like him?' Nicole asked herself.

Sometimes, she really felt her heart bouncing faster. She couldn't help staring at Jacob, she praised his handsome face and fell in love with him when they were skin on skin.

But it couldn't be called love.

She was just hurt by love and marriage. How could she fall in love with someone so quickly?

Not to mention the fact that there is no love at all. Everything is just a deal.

But if it's just a deal, why am I so engrossed in it and feel that I'm spoiled?

Would she feel heartbroken in such a time of contradiction? This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacob hadn't contacted Nicole for the whole night. Next day, Nicole got up and went downstairs to buy some food. When she came back home with some food, she happened to meet Selina who had a long face.

Nicole was shocked and rushed to stop her.

"What are you doing here?"

Selina was forced to stop. She was nearly a head shorter than Nicole, she had to look up to Nicole.

"I'm here to settle account with you!"

Even if she was a short woman, she was still full of arrogance.

Nicole frowned and looked at Selina warily, "What do you mean?"

With a hand at her waist, Selina pointed her index finger at Nicole's face, "Stop playing dumb. You know exactly what you have done!"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"Still playing dumb? Don't think I know nothing. I know everything about you! "

Hearing this, Nicole became very angry.

She bent down to put the food on the ground, straightened up, and stared at Selina, "Then I tell you, my patience is limited, too. If you get me into trouble again and again, don't blame me for being unkind to you!"

Selina had never seen Nicole like this, and she was so intimidated that she took a step back.

After all, she always bickering with other people. She quickly came to her sense and scolded Nicole.

"Being unkind to me? Come on! Show me? You're so shameless. You should behave yourself at such a young age. Moreover, you're good at seducing men all your life. You don't feel ashamed to hang around with men, but we Liang family also feel ashamed! "

Not only people nearby, but also every living on the first and second floor had heard Selina's loud voice.

"We will forgive you for what you have done to us. But I didn't expect that you are such a heartless woman to screw up Austin's job!"

Nicole raised her hand and was about to slap her, but she suddenly stopped when she heard this.

"What job? Austin lost his job?"

When Selina heard these words, her tears fell down at once. "Don't play dumb with me. You asked your man to screw up Austin's job. You're the one who should be blamed! We Liang family treated you well. How could you be so heartless? Are you a human or not?"

Although Selina said that word of "treated you well" was not true, it was true that Austin had lost his job.

But what does it have to do with me?

"Selina, I have nothing to do with Austin losing his job. I know nothing about it. Please don't speak ill of me."

It took Austin a lot of money and several years to get that job. Now it was a great glory with less work and much money. It was a satisfactory job.

It would be a great loss to the Liang family if it was lost.

But she hadn't contacted with Austin for so long. What made Selina come to her and make trouble?

Gradually, more and more people came to watch. Some of the relatives who were close to Nicole also came over. They were worried and asked Nicole what was going on.

When Selina saw someone coming, she cried out at once.

She cried and grabbed Nicole, "God damn you! How can you let me live like this? You can't be so mean! I'm afraid you will get your retribution!"

Nicole's wrist hurt. She looked down and saw that a piece of meat was gouged out by Selina's fingernails, and blood came out.

"Enough!"
