Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 54 Don't Worry. I'll Pay

Nicole was eating when her phone rang again.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and Nicole almost choked on the rice in her mouth.

"Sister, what's the rush?" It seemed that Jim thought of something. He smiled and winked at Nicole.

Nicole immediately wiped her mouth and took out the mobile phone. After seeing the caller ID, she felt relieved.

"What's wrong, Consuela?" Nicole picked up the phone, glaring at Jim who was grinning.

"Nicole, what are you doing now? Are you busy? What's up this afternoon?"

"I'm having my meal at home. I don't have anything to do this afternoon,"

Her mother and brother were fine, and Jacob was abroad. She was indeed fine.

Consuela said cheerfully, "can you go shopping with me? I want to buy a dress."

Nicole thought for a while and agreed.

"Have your meal first. I will drive to pick you up in an hour."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Nicole looked at Jim, and as expected, she saw the disappointed expression on his face.

Nicole didn't dare to point it out. She frowned and said vaguely, "what are you looking at? Eat your food." Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

"Humph!" Jim's mood was not good. Apparently he cared a lot about his sister's date.

"Is it Consuela Bai?" Judy asked.

"Yes." Nicole answered honestly, "she asked me to go shopping with her this afternoon. I just promised her."

Judy nodded, "go and buy yourself some nice dresses. You should wear more beautiful clothes at such a young age."

"That's it. Only when you look good will people like you."

"You bastard!"

"Jim is right. Although you are divorced now, you can't give up so easily. Prepare for the future."

"Prepare!" Before Nicole could scold him again, Jim quickly put down his chopsticks, grinned and went back to his bedroom.

Nicole also finished her meal and was about to get up to clean up, but was stopped by her mother.

"I'll wash it today. You go get changed and get dressed. After that, I'll go out with Consuela to try on the clothes,"

Nicole smiled bitterly. "Mom, I have known her for many years. She knows exactly what I look like. I don't need any dress."

Judy said with a serious look, "you can't say that. After all, you are out for fun. What if you meet people you know and are laughed at?"

"Then let them laugh at me. I'm going to wash the dishes. Mom, go take a nap." Nicole refuted and took the dirty chopsticks into the kitchen without uttering a single word.

"Why don't you listen to me?" Judy looked at Nicole and sighed.

Nicole liked to be clean, but she was not used to heavy makeup. She was not that type. A simple makeup and a lipstick were enough for her.

Since she went out with Consuela, Nicole didn't even put on any lipstick. She didn't put on any makeup, and got into Consuela's car.

"Is this your car?" Nicole asked curiously.

Consuela answered as she was backing the car, "I guess so. It used to be my cousin's, but after his doctor's degree, he changed a new car. He gave me it."

"Where are we going?"

"Go wherever it is bustling! I have saved a lot of money from work in the past two years. I want to make a big project today!"

Consuela pressed the accelerator hard and the car rushed out.

After a while, the car was stopped in the best shopping mall in the city, the Guolin department store.

After parking the car, Consuela excitedly dragged Nicole into the store.

"You said on the phone that you want to buy a dress?"

"Mainly buy a dress, but I'll also buy others if I like." with gleaming in her eyes, Consuela took Nicole's hand and they went to different shops one by one. "You can go and have a try if you like any of those dresses. I'll pay the bill for you."

Nicole shook her hands, "never mind. This place is too expensive for me."

With a friendly smile, Consuela reassured her, "don't worry. I'll pay for it."

Nicole knew that Consuela was nice to her, but she didn't want to accept the expensive gifts.

At this time, Nicole suddenly thought of Jacob. There was no doubt that Jacob was rich. He was really wealthy.

But Jacob had never been picky with her clothes, nor had he made any demands on her. Even when he let the servants give her clothes was in a natural way.

Therefore, Nicole had a differently impression on rich people because of Jacob.

But Nicole also felt strange when remembering the high school days. At that time, nobody knew the family background of Jacob, and he had never deliberately bragged about it. Even if he was the leader of the school, he was entitled to his prestige.

At that time, Jacob's school uniform was dirty and looked much poor than hers.

Thinking of this, Nicole burst into laughter.

"Hey, I asked you to watch the dress for me. Why are you laughing?"

That brought Nicole back to reality. She looked at the two dresses in Consuela's hands and intuitively pointed to the white one.

"This one is better."

"Really? I think purple is more feminine. "

Nicole carefully examined the dress and curiously said, "this is a dress, Consuela. Are you going to a party or a ceremony?"

"Right. My cousin has an invitation card to a party. I begged and begged him for a long time before he agreed to let me be his female companion. That's why I asked you to buy dresses for me. I won't embarrass him then."

"Try this purple one. It's really feminine."

"Okay, wait for me here."

Consuela went into the fitting room to change her clothes. Holding Consuela's handbag, Nicole wandered around the shop.

She saw a grey dress, very stylish. Out of habit, she took out the tag and looked at it. Nicole was so scared that she almost bit her tongue.

The plain dress cost more than 10000!

Consuela had told her that she would buy some expensive clothes, but she didn't expect it was so expensive. She realized that Consuela had planned to spend a lot of money this time.

Realizing that the price of this shop was too high, Nicole did not dare to see tag. She just looked at it casually and grumbled in her heart.

She was staring blankly at a black dress. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice.

"Honey, I like this dress so much. You must buy it for me no matter what you say."

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

The voice was so familiar that Nicole didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

And they apparently recognized her.

"Hey, isn't this Nicole?"
