Sweet Sorrow

Nicole didn't ask Jacob what he did that night and whether he was with other women.
She would bear in mind her identity, despite the pain in her heart, and never cross a step.
Jacob also did not contact her. Nicole guessed that since there was no news, he must be on good terms with his new girlfriend.
Fortunately, it was not long enough to go through.
As long as she spent the year with Jacob and paid off the debt she owed him, all the grudges between them would be canceled.
When Nicole thought this, she didn't notice the terrible look on her face.
"Nicole, I want to go shopping. Can you go with me?"
Nicole just made a cake and taking pictures for it. Judy walked to her suddenly and said.
"Mom, just tell me what you want to buy. I'll buy it for you. You don't have to go to buy it in person."
"It's not like... I want to go out to have a walk. It's been a long time since I went out last time. I feel bored. Can you go out with
mom? " Judy said with eagerness in her eyes.
Hearing her mother's words, Nicole couldn't refuse. She put away the cake and took off the apron. "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Judy laughed happily, "okay!"
When they were about to go out, Judy saw Nicole wearing simple short sleeved and jeans. she frowned, "why do you go out in
this way?"
Nicole looked down and said, "what's wrong? I've been dressing like this all the time."
Judy shook her head, "no, it's not good. You should change to a more beautiful wearing. Dress, put on your dress."
"But why?" Nicole was confused.
Judy rolled her eyes, "if you dress nicer, I will be respected. But you can also be respected by yourself. Go and change it, I will
wait for you."

Nicole felt something was wrong with her mother, but she couldn't tell what it was. Was it because she got divorced and didn't
dress up well, so her mother was afraid of going out to make a fool of herself?
Uncomfortable as she was, Nicole followed her order and changed a long dress.
"Mom, are you satisfied now?" Nicole walked out of the bedroom and looked at her mother helplessly.
Judy shook her head again, "this one.... "How long have you been wearing this one?" Don't you have a new dress? That black
one. It's so beautiful. You should put on that one. "
Nicole said unhappily, "Mom, how do you know I have a new black dress?"
"I saw it when I brought you fruits the day before yesterday. You bought so many beautiful clothes, and you should wear them
without reservation. It will be out of date, isn't it?"
"I think this one looks good on me. Let's go shopping." Nicole didn't want to say anything more, so she held her mother's hand.
Judy stood still and said stubbornly, "just put it on, okay? Just let me have a look, okay?"
Nicole released her mother's arm, and earnestly looked into her eyes. "Mom, I really don't care what those people think of me.
It's not shameful for me to get divorced, and I don't need to dress up to impress them."
"What are you talking about? Of course I didn't mean that." Judy was anxious when she heard Nicole's words. "I just want to see
you in beautiful clothes. It's not what you think!"
Judy was so anxious that she could hardly breathe.
Nicole was instantly scared by her mother's heavy breath. She quickly helped Judy to calm down and said, "Mom, don't be
angry. I'll put it on myself."
"Okay."
Judy only saw the beautiful dress, she hadn't known it was a dress worth more than ten thousand. If she knew it, she would be
out of breath.
After all, it cost a lot of money. Wearing them, Nicole's temperament changed immediately.
"My daughter is so beautiful." Judy grinned from ear to ear and took Nicole out.

But for her mother's sake, Nicole was reluctant to wear this skirt. It was given to her by Jacob. And it also made her feel
uncomfortable as she thought of Sabina at the first sight of the skirt.
They walked out of the residential area and walked slowly on the sidewalk.
Nicole was confused, but she didn't ask anything. She just kept silent and went with her mother.
"Nicole, I really hope that you can be happy." Judy said suddenly.
"...... Yes. " Nicole looked at the white hair on her mother's head and said lightly, "I'm happy enough to be with you and Jim."
Judy patted Nicole's hand and said pitifully, "I know you are filial, but you still have a long way to go in your life. I am half dead
now and can't hold you back any longer. As for Jim, he will have a family in the future. I hope you can fight for yourself early.
Otherwise, I won't feel relieved even if I die. "
Nicole was shocked, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Nicole, you don't want mommy to worry about you, do you?"
Nicole wanted to refute, but when she saw the sad look on her mother's face, she gave up.
She didn't want to irritate her mother again.
They walked into a pedestrian street, where there were shops and coffee shops. It was a casual place in the neighborhood.
Judy stopped in front of a cafe. She looked up at the signboard and said to Nicole, "Let's go inside."
"Mom, we..."
Before Nicole asked the question, she saw a familiar person.
The woman introduced dating partner to her in the neighborhood.
There was also a man in white shirt sitting next to the woman.
An ominous premonition arose in Nicole's heart, and then her mother pulled her towards the auntie's table. Her premonition
immediately became reality.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," Judy greeted her with a smile.
"No. we arrived here just now. Come and sit here." The woman smiled at Nicole with satisfaction.
Nicole tried her best to make herself not so embarrassed.
"You wanna juice now? I'll order you some juice and some snacks.!"
The more warm she was, the more uncomfortable Nicole became. Nicole didn't expect that this was the reason behind her
mother's requirement on her dress.
She felt embarrassed. Now it seemed that she wore a new dress because she really cared about this date.
"Nicole, this is my nephew. I told you the other day that he was doing scientific research. Do you remember?"
Nicole turned to the man with a calm face, who also looked at her.
Different from the domineering and arrogant Jacob, she felt this man was very quiet and calm, as if he stayed away from the
world.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Nicole Du." Nicole reached out her hand politely.
"Nice to meet you, Ron Jiang," he greeted with a smile
