Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 75 Out Of Oxygen

"HMM..."

Nicole's body sank, and her senses began to blur. She closed her eyes tightly.

At that moment, her brain stopped thinking. She couldn't feel anything but the noise. It was so strong that she was almost swallowed.

She felt... she was about to suffocate.

Just when Nicole was about to lose her consciousness, Jacob released her and pulled her out of the water.

"Phew Swoosh Swoosh... " Nicole gasped and was totally dizzy.

"Come here." Jacob said again, pulling her to the side of the swimming pool.

Nicole, like a person who was drowning, grabbed the side of the swimming pool tightly. Her shoulder was against the tile and she was breathing non-stop. She felt her lungs were burning fast. She didn't know if it was because of the lack of oxygen.

A glass of champagne was in front of her.

Nicole looked at Jacob and had no strength to argue. She took the champagne obediently and took a sip.

The sweet liquid flowed down her throat and into her stomach, moistening Nicole's mouth and throat.

"Thank you." Nicole said softly.

Jacob stared at Nicole and pulled her into his arms. Then he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips with champagne in his mouth.

Air first, now champagne... Nicole almost went mad. She wondered if this was one of Jacob's tricks?

After the kiss, they separated themselves slightly.

Jacob took her hand and said, "Why are you hiding from me? You came to me first."

Nicole rolled her eyes and denied, "no, I didn't."

"No?" Jacob raised Nicole's chin with his another hand and said, "you are dressing like this. How dare you say you are not?"

"I..." Nicole bit her lips and blushed. "I didn't. You came back too early. Didn't you have a dinner at nine o'clock?"

Jacob looked at Nicole with a playful smile and said, "you mean that you took advantage of my absence and dressed yourself like this for fun?"

Nicole nodded, "yes."

She felt something wrong. She frowned and then shook her head. "No, No." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"What?"

"Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I don't know how to explain." Annoyed and exasperated, Nicole pushed Jacob away and was about to leave.

But Jacob was much more powerful than her. Besides, they were still in the swimming pool, so there was almost no point to apply force. Nicole didn't escape from the grip of Jacob but was held more tightly instead.

"Let me go..." Nicole struggled hopelessly.

Jacob didn't care about her strength at all. He just let Nicole twist in his arms.

"If you keep moving like this, I really can't stand it." After a long time, Jacob got close to Nicole's earlobe and said with a hoarse voice.

Nicole was scared and immediately stopped moving.

She swallowed hard and then gave a pinch on his arm.

Unfortunately, it was almost useless, unlike being angry, but more like being spoiled.

The smile on his face became more brilliant.

He couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't attend the dinner at nine o'clock. Otherwise, he would have missed such a wonderful night.

He was clear what kind of person Nicole was.

If he hadn't run into her, Nicole wouldn't have been so sexy in front of him.

Since they turned against each other that day, they were in an awkward situation. Sometimes, Jacob couldn't help trying to break the ice, but he failed. He didn't want to lose face.

It was Nicole's fault. Why did he take the initiative?

He was her sponsor. Couldn't she do something to ease the atmosphere?

He had always been mature and sedate, but now he was even more stubborn on this matter.

At first, he had thought that as long as Nicole showed her sincerity and enthusiasm, he would let it go.

However, Nicole didn't apologize and show her passion. Instead, her attitude was cold and she kept escaping.

This pissed off Jacob a lot. He wanted to find fault with Nicole for several times when they had breakfast together, but he could not do such a childish thing as the servants were around.

As a result, although they lived under the same roof, they had no communication. They were just like being separated.

Jacob felt uncomfortable to be with her in this way. When he knew he was going to go on a business trip, he called Nicole over to keep him company without any hesitation.

Anyway, it was reasonable for the mistress to accompany her man.

Although it was just a lame excuse, Jacob still didn't want to give in. He had made up his mind to find the first step to repair their relationship. But he didn't want to surrender.

At least, on the surface, he was unwilling to do so.

But in the afternoon when he changed clothes, he accidentally saw Nicole's reaction, which made him feel both complacent and happy. For the first time, he had laughed at the meeting several times, which made the senior executives of the branch company tremble with fear.

The first dinner in the evening was to have dinner with some local successful entrepreneurs. After the dinner, someone arranged the show. When everything was almost done, a group of women in cool clothes were invited in. They were all chatting with men.

Jacob had seen a lot of women like this. He was a man of integrity and didn't like to touch those women. Many people knew his habits, and no one said anything about it.

But some time ago, when he pretended to be a playboy, his friends all thought that he had finally realized the fun. So they began to offer him such kind of women.

which made him feel terrible.

Because of this, he didn't want to go to the second dinner party. He went back to the hotel in advance, with his own thoughts.

He didn't expect to run into sexy Nicole here.
