Sweet Sorrow Chapter 204 The Call During The Spring Festival

A few days later, it was the last few days at the end of the year.

At the thought of the possibility that Jacob would stay alone during the Spring Festival, Nicole bought
the paper scissors in advance and decorated the house on the day she left. She had specially made
dumplings and frozen them in the refrigerator. She wrote down the process of making dumplings with a
note and pasted it on the fridge.

Maybe it was because Jacob didn't want her to leave from the bottom of his heart that he disappeared
after she got up in the morning. Jacob didn't show up even when she left in the afternoon.

After thinking for a while, Nicole didn't contact Jacob as well. She wrote down note words, put it on the
shoe cabinet at the door, and left with her luggage.

The driver was waiting for her downstairs. Seeing her coming downstairs, he opened the door.

After returning home, Nicole went upstairs with her luggage. As soon as she knocked on the door with
her fingers, the door was opened from inside. Jim appeared behind the door and smiled happily.

"Sister, you are back!"

"Yes." Nicole carried her luggage into the room, but she didn't see Judy. She changed her shoes and
asked, "where is mother? Has she gone out?"

Jim nodded, "the aunt downstairs came to see her just now. She sent her downstairs. She must be
visiting the aunt's place now."

Nicole nodded, changed her shoes and looked at Jim with a smile. "What's wrong? Don't you have
anything to ask me?"



"I..." Jim's secret was exposed. He scratched his head with embarrassment and said shyly, "mom said
she didn't want me to ask you for something..."

"Okay." Nicole opened the suitcase, took out the computer box, tilted her head and asked, "do you
mean that you don't want it anymore?"

"Computer!" Jim looked at the computer box in Nicole's hand with his bright eyes, and almost a bear
pounced on her.

Seeing her brother's surprised look, Nicole was also happy. She handed the computer box to her
brother and said happily, "open it."

"Okay!"

Jim was very excited, but he was very careful, as if he was afraid of breaking the computer. He gently
opened the box and took the computer out of it like holding a treasure.

"The computer has been installed and the software has been downloaded. You can use it directly."
Although Nicole didn't understand computer so much, she still repeated what Jacob had said.

"It's so beautiful." Jim couldn't help touching the computer. After a while, he turned to look at Nicole and
said with tearful eyes, "sister, thank you."

Rubbing her brother's head affectionately, Nicole said, "you don't need to thank me. I have promised
you."

Jim couldn't wait to go back to his bedroom with his computer. Nicole sat alone for a while, and then
took out the new year's goods from her suitcase and put them away.

Although the Du family was a small family, there were many traditional etiquettes. After coming back
home, Nicole made meat and vegetables for the Spring Festival with her mother, cut the window Grilles



by herself, and bought things for New Year's Eve ceremony.

Soon it was New year's Eve.

Judy took out the new clothes that Nicole bought for her and put them on. Then she sat on the sofa,
receiving the new year's greeting from Nicole and Jim, the she gave them the Lucky Money. The family
sat around the TV, preparing to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

"Sister, let's celebrate the New Year's Eve together this year." Jim suggested while eating chicken feet.

Nicole nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's celebrate the New Year's Eve together."

"What about mom?" Jim asked.

Judy hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I'll go to bed after sitting with you for a while. I'm really old
and can't stand it anymore."

"Okay. You should go to bed early, Mom."

When Judy went to bed, Nicole and Jim sat side by side on the sofa, eating all kinds of snacks on the
table and complaining about the program on TV.

Jim sighed, "it's better that you are here with us. It's more lively. You didn't stay with us last year. I had
been driven to bed by mom at this moment last year. How could I watch TV like now?"

Speaking of last year's new year, Nicole felt a little uncomfortable. Last year, she had spent the Spring
Festival at Austin's house. She had been busy all the time by Selina. But Selina hadn't given her a
good look, which made her feel aggrieved.

Fortunately, she didn't have to be so depressed. She didn't have to leave her brother and mother.



Holding Jim's shoulder lovingly, Nicole promised seriously, "don't worry. I'll celebrate the new year with
you next year!"

"Really? Don't you get married? " Jim suddenly blurted out.

Nicole was stunned, and then knocked heavily on Jim's forehead, "you little bastard! You've learned
how to make fun of your sister? "

Jim held his head and begged, "no, I'm just telling the truth. I heard from mom that her plan is to make
you married next year."

"……" Nicole felt helpless, " Who I can marry... It shouldn't be a plan."

"Ron,"

"Puff..."

Jim, who was very gossipy, rested his head on Nicole's shoulder and asked, "sister, you don't like Ron
at all, do you?"

"Well..."

"You like your secret boyfriend, don't you?"

Nicole rolled her eyes at Jim and grumbled, "what are you talking about? You are just a junior high
school student. How could you know so much?"

"Humph, you always try to teach me a lesson as I get you."

"Eat your chicken feet!"



The two bickered with each other. Time passed quickly. After watching the lively show for a few hours,
it was the last few minutes of the new year.

"After counting down, you can go to the censer and light some incense." Nicole ordered Jim.

"Okay."

The reason why she told Jim was that Nicole wanted to make a phone call to someone in the first
second of the new year.

She listened to the TV and dialed the number.

"beep, beep, beep," the sound of beep came from the other side. Nicole suddenly became nervous.
She was worried that Jacob] was not there, or Jacob was busy.

When Nicole was about to give up, the phone was connected.

"What?" It was Jacob, from the other end of the line.

Unexpectedly, the call was connected. Nicole stammered, holding her phone, "well... Happy.. Happy
new year! "

"Happy New Year!" Jacob replied.

Contrary to Nicole's expectation, Jacob's voice was cold and restrained.

"HMM... I don't have anything else to say. I just want to tell you that it's new year. Now I finish, I'll hang
up. " Hearing Jacob's cold voice, Nicole felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't be enthusiastic anymore.

"Okay, bye."



To Nicole]'s surprise, after she said that, Jacob still kept his cold voice. Obviously, he was going to
hang up.

"Who is it?"

Before Jacob hung up the phone, Nicole heard a majestic male voice from the end of the line.
