Jacob Mackay...
Breakfast was awkward. Nicole gave Jacob the cold shoulder and gave a new meaning to silent treatment. She didn't spare him a look or a glance even while they sat opposite each other at the breakfast table. Jacob felt petty. He knew the thoughts Nicole probably harboured. The situation didn't look good, considering Sutton appeared at a very odd hour. He didn't even have the mental strength to defend himself against Nicole, so he just let sleeping dogs.
Nicole ate her food hurriedly, as if her tongue were on fire. Jacob eyed her from his peripheral vision. He knew how jealous she could get. Deciding to not engage was the best way to avoid having issues, for now. Nicole might have a mind of her own and was getting ready to bare her fangs at him.
