Sweet Sorrow
Chapter 95 My Own Life

Jacob didn't come back home that night.

Nicole was relieved, but she was more depressed.

She knew it was wrong. She shouldn't have any unrealistic hopes of getting along with Jacob just because they got along well for a while.

It was human nature that was easy to be seduced by a little sweetness.

"Miss Nicole, are you going to sleep?" The servant greeted Nicole sweetly.

Nicole regained her wits and nodded, "it's late. I'm going to sleep. You should go to bed too."

The servant's eyes were crooked. "OK, Miss Nicole, good night."

"Good night."

Nicole put the pillow back and went upstairs.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned to the servant and asked with a smile, "do you want to eat cakes tomorrow? I'll baking for you."

The servant didn't expect that Nicole would take the initiative to mention this. She originally thought that Nicole said that was just being polite to everyone, but not really wanted to do it.

"Of course!" The servant smiled, with shyness and sincerity in her eyes.

"Then I'll baking for you tomorrow." Finishing her words, Nicole went upstairs to sleep.

She was a little impulsive to bring it up, but mostly because she wanted to have something to do. Every day after she finished eating and sleeping, she was too idle. It was easy for her to think too much, while it was easy for her to get sick. Jacob didn't come back for the whole night. When Nicole woke up in the morning, she looked at the half empty bed and felt quiet in her heart.

She had got used to it.

She slowly made the bed, washed herself and went downstairs for breakfast.

"We have lunch first. Then I'll make cakes as afternoon tea. Is that Okay?" Nicole chatted with the servants while having breakfast.

"Okay, I'll make a pot of black tea then!"

Nicole wanted to make cakes to kill time, but when she saw the happy expression on the servant's face, she was in a good mood too. Suddenly she became more enthusiastic.

Her life was still full of happiness without Jacob.

"That's great. I'm looking forward to it." Nicole winked at the servant.

Nicole's good mood lasted till afternoon. Only when Jacob called her at noon and said that he would not go back for lunch, she was a little depressed, but soon replaced by the joy of making cakes.

Nicole had wanted to make a new type, but when she was about to start, she discovered that it would need many other materials. If she wanted to make a good-looking cake enough for several people, she had to make a Matcha cake. Nicole felt very embarrassed. But the servants didn't mind. They wanted to eat anything Nicole made.

Besides, they had seen Nicole make one for Jacob. It looked delicious and they were looking forward to it.

Nicole went to the kitchen happily when she found that nobody cared about it. She didn't let anyone help her, and she started working in the kitchen.

The servants could do nothing but stand outside.

"Do you think Mr. Jacob will get angry if he knows that we ask Miss Nicole to make cake for us?" One of the servants suddenly asked.

"I don't think so." another said, "Miss Nicole is different from others and she has a different relationship with Mr. Jacob. Even if Mr. Jacob will be unhappy, he cares about Miss Nicole. And I'm sure that Miss Nicole will speak for us." "Why do I think your attitude towards Miss Nicole is different from that towards others, such as Miss Yu..."

The elder servant frowned and glared at the person who said, "don't talk about people we shouldn't talk about in private!"

"Lily, don't be angry. She just think that we like Miss. Nicole. It is obvious that we like Miss. Nicole. We get along with her every day. She's nice and we must like her."

"Not only do we like her, but Mr. Jacob also likes her."

The woman who was called Lily Zhang did not rebuke anymore. Her tense face softened.

Because what they said was true.

Nicole was busy in the kitchen alone. She didn't know what had happened outside. She also didn't know that in the eyes of these people, she was wanted to be with Jacob more than Daisy. The cake would be finished soon.

Nicole opened the glass door in the kitchen and took out the cake.

"Wow, it looks so beautiful!"

"It is so beautiful. I want to take photos!"

Nicole took the cake to the table and asked the servants to sit down, "come on, let's eat together."

No one dared to sit down, they looked at each other and did not know what to do. After all, it was the first time in Gu family.

Nicole said, "Will you stand to eat? Just come and sit."

Lily Zhang was an experienced woman, so she was also quite stable. When she heard this, she stood out first, bowed slightly to Nicole and said, "thank you, Miss Nicole."

"Don't say so. Have a seat." Nicole even helped Lily Zhang to pull the chair out.

After Lily Zhang sat down, other people also sat down. Nicole cut the cake, put it on a delicate porcelain plate and passed it to them one by one.

"You don't have to be so nervous. I'm so nervous because of you." Nicole sat down with her piece of cake, smiling.

"Miss Nicole, please have some tea." Lily Zhang stood up and poured a cup of black tea for Nicole.

Nicole sighed in her mind. It was not easy for them to get along with each other as they were all equal.

However, Nicole was very happy to sit together with them. She thanked Lily Zhang, picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"Yummy! Lily, could you teach me how to make such a nice black tea some other day?"

Lily Zhang nodded with a smile, "okay."

"Come on, taste my cake. After tasting, tell me if my cooking skills need to be improved."

The maids were not restrained anymore as they saw Nicole's cold attitude. They all took their fork and started to eat.

"Wow, it tastes so good!"

"Yes, it tastes great!"

Nicole purposely twitched her mouth and threatened the other girls sitting there, "to be honest, I can improve it or else I will make cakes for you every day from now on. You have to suffer more." "Everyday? Miss Nicole, are you serious? " After Nicole's words, a servant asked incredulously.

"Well, very serious. As long as I have time, I will do it everyday. So you must tell me what I should improve, or you will suffer."

The servant smiled awkwardly, "I think... Not enough sweetness..."

"Is that so?" Nicole took a small sip, nodded and said, "yes, you are right. I've kept it in mind and I'll split the biggest share for you next time!"

"Thank you, Miss Nicole!"

Someone followed at the beginning. Soon, Nicole received a lot of suggestions.

She wrote down their suggestions one by one carefully. At that moment, she had really forgotten the unhappiness left by Jacob. Her face was much better than before.

However at this moment, Jacob didn't know the happy scene in the villa. He went to a branch company in the underground city to investigate it in person. [D
