Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 214 No Way!

Jacob didn't go back to Gu family immediately after he left the hospital. He went to DF Restaurant first to buy his mother's favorite cakes. Then he went to the main house.

When he arrived, his mother was not at home. According to the servants, Albertan went out to have tea with other ladies and wouldn't be able to come back shortly.

Jacob put the cake on the table and sat on the chair in a daze for a while. Then he stood up and went to the kitchen.

When the servant saw him enter the kitchen, she immediately walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Jacob, what do you want to eat?"

"No, I'll cook a few dishes." Jacob rolled up his sleeves and ordered, "all of you can go out now. I'll cook here alone." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Yes..."

Jacob seldom cooked. He could only cook a few dishes, and the taste was ordinary, not very delicious. His cooking was really not as good as the servants of Gu family. But he had something important to talk with his mother today. Since he was waiting, he might as well do something.

He made a braised pork, a crab tofu and two stir fried vegetables. As soon as the dishes were out of the pot, Albertan came back.

"My lady, Mr. Jacob is back." The servant reported respectfully as soon as Albertan came in.

Albertan smiled as if she had expected this. She handed the delicate handbag to the servant and asked, "where is he now?"

"He is cooking in the kitchen."

"Cooking?" Albertan was slightly surprised, which was somewhat beyond her expectation.

Just then, Jacob came out of the kitchen with the dishes he had prepared. He looked at Albertan from a distance and said, "Mom, wash your hands and have dinner."

Albertan nodded calmly as if nothing had happened and replied, "okay."

After the two sat down at the table, Jacob took off his apron and pushed the dessert on the table towards Albertan. "I went to DF Restaurant to buy it for you before I came here."

Albertan picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth, smiling, "Good, I like it the most. My dear son is so filial. "

An unnatural look flashed across Jacob's eyes, but his expression didn't change. He still helped Albertan] pick up food with a smile.

"Why did you cook today?" Albertan seemed to ask casually as she took the dish from Jacob.

"Is it delicious?" Jacob didn't answer but changed the topic with a smile.

They all knew the taste, but Albertan nodded with satisfaction, "yes, it's delicious."

Jacob also smiled, "Mom, please eat more."

The meal seemed to be very harmonious, but the two of them were not calm. Albertan knew what happened to Nicole's mother. Her son couldn't just let it go. Jacob was also wondering how to fix his mother about Nicole.

After dinner, the two of them left the table and sat on the sofa to rest.

Noticing that her son didn't mention about Nicole, Albertan said first, "Jacob, you trust me about what happened today, right?"

"…… Yes. " After a long time, Jacob finally said yes.

"Then do you blame me?" Albertan asked again.

Jacob thought for a while and shook his head.

"Really?" Albertan was really surprised this time.

"No, I won't." Jacob said affirmatively, "I know you don't know that Nicole's mother is ill. You didn't mean to piss her off. It's just a coincidence."

Although Albertan thought so, she felt something was wrong when her son said so.

After saying that, Jacob continued, "but Nicole's mother is still in the ICU, and her condition is really not good. So you'd better not take it seriously when Nicole talks to you like that."

"……" Staring at her son's face, Albertan thought that her son was still on the side of that girl. The previous compliments to her were just to help Nicole. Albertan felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't show it immediately. She changed the topic and asked, "Jacob, is this the first time I have eaten the food you cook?"

"Yes." "Mom, if you like it, I'll cook it for you more often," Jacob said with a flattering smile

Albertan nodded, "that's good. But I hope that the food you cook for me is from your heart, not to plead for others to please me. "

Her words implied something but Jacob understood immediately. But since his mother didn't scold him face to face, Jacob didn't say anything.

He sighed first, and then pretended to be helpless. "I really can't hide anything from you. But you have to believe that no matter what your son's motive is, he loves his mother and he is filial to you. "

Albertan didn't say anything and looked at Jacob.

Seeing that his mother didn't say anything, Jacob continued, "in fact, I came here today because I want to tell you something and hope to get your permission."

"What is that?" Albertan pretended to be curious.

"I want to marry Nicole within this year." Jacob looked at Albertan and said.

These words were like a bomb, exploding, which made Albertan almost lost her hearing. She knew that her son must intercede for Nicole, or speak for the Du family. If he went too far, he would blame her for not going to the Du family.

But she didn't expect that Jacob would talk about marrying that girl?!

How could it be possible?!

"Mom, I've thought about it. I'm not such young anymore. Now my company's business is only in China, so I'm not so busy and have more time. I can make this big deal of my life before the business line is expanded. Besides, I will get married and have my own children as soon as possible. Then your work is also done. " Before Albertan could react, Jacob continued to say something like pouring beans. After saying that, he held his mother's hand and asked with a smile, "how is it going? Is it a good arrangement?"

After a few minutes, Albertan was scared out of her wits and came back to her seat. She shook off Jacob's hand and snapped, "what did you say? Say it again! "

"I said I plan to marry Nicole this year." Jacob repeated.

Albertan stood up all of a sudden, pointed at Jacob and shouted angrily, "shut up!"

When the servants saw that the situation was not right, they immediately hid far away. Seeing that his mother finally gave in pretending, Jacob also stood up.

"Take back what you just said!" Albertan was so angry that she trembled, "don't mention a same word from now on. I'll take it as nothing has happened!"

"No." Jacob stopped laughing face and said to Albertan seriously, "I can't take back what I said, not to mention that I'm serious. Mom, I really want to marry Nicole. You can't stop me. "

Albertan was so angry that her chest kept heaving. "What? Are you threatening me?"

"Of course not. I just want to tell you my determination."

"Enough!" Albertan sneered, "how dare you say that to me? You bought me desserts and cooked for me just for these words, right?"

That was the fact. So Jacob didn't defend himself.

Albertan was pissed off. Although she knew that her son did all these to please her for the sake of Nicole, she was happy that her son could be so considerate. If he just wanted to put in a good word for Nicole's recklessness, Albertan thought it was acceptable. Her son was sensible.

But marriage? No way!

She would never be fooled to agree this marriage by just a cake and few dishes!
