Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 232 The Final Episode

After David passed away, the Gu family's properties and burdens fell on the shoulders of Jacob. The company that was originally established by Jacob had become a small part of the Gu family's large family business. He had no choice but to move the company to the downtown and keep an eye on it.

As for Nicole, in addition to her daily live streaming, she hired a private teacher to study economics and law, trying to become a better person, and also a capable assistant of Jacob.

Jacob didn't agree with Nicole. After all, it would consume a lot of energy to concentrate on study. He was worried that her body couldn't bear it.

However, what Nicole had decided would not be changed easily.

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed since the car accident of Jacob's father. Although the death of her family was heartbreaking, life could not stop. Jacob had eased a lot from the blow of his father's death.

One day, when he was thinking where to take Nicole to have dinner at night, his phone rang.

"Hello?" Jacob picked up the phone and heard a lot of words on the other end of the phone. He frowned and asked, "Has she been sent to the hospital?"

"What?" Nicole happened to come in with a book on economics and heard what Jacob said.

After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and said to Nicole seriously, "Consuela's amniotic fluid is broken. She has been sent to the hospital."

"What?"

"Don't worry. She's fine. I'll ask my assistant to book the latest ticket." Jacob said and called his assistant.

The assistant acted quickly. When Nicole came to her senses, she had knocked on the door and told Jacob that she had booked the latest air ticket. The two tickets would take off in 1.5 hours.

"Let's go. I'll go with you."

When they arrived at the airport in a hurry, Nicole suddenly grabbed Jacob's hand and asked with hesitation, "Should we... tell Bevis? "

Jacob remained silent.

There were still forty minutes left before the plane took off. After thinking for a while, Nicole couldn't help but dial the number of Bevis with Jacob's mobile phone.

After the phone rang for seven or eight times, the lazy voice of Bevis came from the other end of the line.

"Hello?"

"Well, it's me, Nicole."

"Nicole? What's up? "

Staring at Jacob, Nicole faltered, "Well... Are you alone now? "

"Well, yes. What's wrong?"

"So... are you still with Michelle? "

This time, Bevis fell into silence.

After a moment's silence, he said softly, "We are no longer together. We have broken up."

"Broke up? Why did you break up? " Nicole raised her voice excitedly. She didn't realize how happy she was. She seemed to have heard something good.

"No reason. She just can't stand me." Obviously, Bevis didn't want to explain more. He asked Nicole impatiently, "What on earth do you want to say? Where is Jacob?"

Ignoring his question, Nicole continued, "Since you have broken up with Michelle, do you still like Consuela and want to be with her?"

"What?"

He couldn't bear to see Nicole's nagging. He took his phone from Nicole's hand and said to Bevis on the other end of the phone, "Cut the crap. Come to the airport immediately and catch the next flight."

"What? ?"

"I'll text you the address. You'll regret for the rest of your life if you don't come." Jacob hung up the phone as soon as he finished his words.

His movements were so smooth that Nicole was stunned.

"So you asked Bevis to come here?" Nicole grabbed his arm and said, "I'm not sure if he still loves Consuela. What if he already has someone else in his heart?"

"It's only a short time. Who else could it be?"

"What if... Since Bevis is so popular, maybe he has a new girlfriend... "

"They can break up."

Nicole pouted. She was dissatisfied with what Jacob had done and his attitude. "You're too hasty. After all, it's related to Consuela. What if she sees him and he runs away from her again? What if she gets

sad?"

With a sneer, Jacob said, "If you want it, you can fight for it. You're so indecisive. You can lose it even you get it. No matter how shameless Bevis is, this is his child, his flesh and blood. How can he escape? "

"Well..." Nicole couldn't think of any retort.

A few hours later, Nicole, Jacob and Bevis stood outside the delivery room. Bevis opened his mouth unconsciously and didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

"…… Are you okay? " Seeing him like this, Nicole asked worriedly.

Bevis turned to Nicole numbly and asked in disbelief, "Is it real? Am I dreaming? "

"Just give yourself a slap and you'll know whether it's true or not."

"Clap -" without any hesitation, Bevis slapped himself, and then buried his face in the palm of his hand, muttering, "It's real! It's real! I'm not dreaming."

Just then, the door of the delivery room opened. A nurse came out and called the family in to cheer her up.

"I... I'll go in." Bevis followed the nurse into the delivery room excitedly.

Nicole was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh. She walked to Jacob and sat on the bench side by side with him.

"Don't worry. It will be fine." Jacob held Nicole's hand and said lightly. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole nodded, "Yes."

After a long time, a loud cry came out from the delivery room, which scared Nicole and Jacob to stand up.

The door of the delivery room was opened. A doctor wearing gloves came out and told Nicole and Jacob that the mother and daughter were safe and could go in to visit them.

"Thank you, thank you."

Nicole trotted into the delivery room. She was moved when she saw Consuela lying on the bed with sweat all over her face and Bevis with red eyes.

"You're awesome, Consuela," Nicole walked up to Consuela and helped her pull her wet hair away.

With a weak smile, Consuela turned to look at the man in front of her.

"He..." When Nicole was about to explain for Bevis, she was stopped by Jacob. He pushed Bevis and said to Bevis half jokingly and half seriously, "you are a father now. You should take responsibility."

After a short pause, Bevis came to his senses. He looked around and saw a plastic food bag on the bedside table. He tore a piece of it and tied it into a circle.

Then he looked at Consuela seriously and knelt down in front of the bed.

"Consuela, marry me."

Consuela's eyes widened in disbelief. Not to mention her, even Nicole was shocked by this scene.

Bevis never wanted to be responsible and even didn't want to confirm their relationship. How could he propose?

"I know it's not the best time. The ring is not ready yet, but..." "But I want to start a family with you."

Tears welled up in Consuela's eyes.

She nodded while crying and stretched out her finger.

Nicole turned her head and looked at Jacob, with understanding and emotion in each other's eyes. Indeed, he was not a good man, but at this moment, he was most sincere to Consuela.

After taking care of Consuela, on the way back by plane, Nicole was still recalling the scene of Bevis's proposal in the hospital.

Consuela had never thought that she would be proposed in that way one day. Perhaps even Bevis hadn't expected that he would propose in that situation.

However, what happened was what happened.

The reality was always more tortuous than what had been imagined.

Thinking of this, Nicole turned to look at Jacob. With his eyes closed, Jacob leaned against the seat and snored. He seemed to be asleep.

Staring at his side face for a while, Nicole gradually felt soft in her heart. She looked down at his face and finally at his waist.

Jacob's suit pocket, which was always straight, seemed to be stuffed with something and bulged up.

Out of curiosity, Nicole peeked at Jacob, who was sleeping soundly, and reached out her hand to open his pocket.

The dark red velvet box lay there quietly.

Nicole held her breath and thought of a possibility. Before she could exhale, she heard the voice of Jacob from above her head.

"Why don't you open it?"

Nicole was so nervous that she withdrew her seat.

Not knowing when Jacob woke up and smiled at her. He took out the velvet box, put it in front of Nicole and opened it.

"Nicole, will you marry me?"
