Nicole was not surprised that Zama would do that.
As long as Zama was not a fool, she will get closer to the head of the Green Family after knowing that
Mrs. Green could have children.
If she could successfully seduce Laurel's husband and made him fall in love with her, it may be
possible to replace Laurel.
Zama hadn't been that impressed before, but as the series of events unfolded, Nicole found Zama to
be calculating, even tolerant, and good at pretending.
Laurel calmed down a bit and said, "At that time, your father was afraid of another blow to me, so he
had been hiding it from me, and started to stay away from Zama, and put forward to change another
one to do the surrogacy, I didn't know what was going on, thinking that your father was not satisfied
with my arrangement, even felt he felt in love with someone else. After some quarrels, your father
finally agreed to do a test tube. Unfortunately, it didn't work out.”
"Zama was able to conceive only after an ivf procedure. When Zama was pregnant, I had mixed
feelings and could not tell what I felt. I knew that I would love this child very much, because it was the
child of the person I loved most. However, I was somewhat estranged, because it was not born out of
my body. The struggle lasted until the moment the baby was born, and when Samuel smiled at me, I
suddenly felt that my whole life was complete. It was the purest smile in the world, something I would
want to protect in my whole life.”
Mrs. Green's eyes were full of tears, but her lips were smiling, so charming, so kind.
Nicole understood Mrs. Green all of a sudden.
A woman who could do this for love was so admirable.
"You could have let Zama go after that.”
"Yes, that's what your father said, but I was afraid the baby wouldn't breastfeed, so I didn't agree.
Instead, I kept Zama. Zama did act like a babysitter, bringing the baby to me as soon as she finished
feeding him. I thought it would last forever.”
“She wont be satisfied as a babysitter!
Nicole's positive tone made Laurel laugh bitterly.
"Yes, she was not satisfied as a babysitter, and it was too late when I slowly discovered that. She
drugged me and my husband, and my husband's health collapsed in one night. I never knew that she
wanted all of your father's property. She even tried to force me to abdicate and make her child the heir
of the Green Family, and she could control everything.”
Laurel's eyes went cold.
Nicole was surprised.
"She killed Papa?”
“Yes.”
Mrs. Green was furious.
“Then how can you tolerate her being in the Green Family?”
“Because she took control of Vincent and poisoned him. Can you imagine that? A mother would poison
her own son, for the illusory rights and riches.”
Nicole was in shock.
"So, you gave in?"
“That's my husband's son! It's the Green Family's child!"
Mrs. Green covered her face in pain.
“I can't do that to my husband and to the Green Family. I brought Zama to the Green Family, and I
killed my husband indirectly. Samuel was there for me, so she didn't have a chance to kill him. But
Vincent was still a little boy, she took over him and I had to make a pact with her. I said that Samuel
would become the heir of the Green Family. Even if she controlled Vincent, I would lose a son at the
worst and have nothing to lose, but she would have to bear the anger and hatred of the Green Family.
Maybe she was smart. From that day on, she was calm and relieved Vincent's poison, but we bore
grudges from then on."
"In those years, for the sake of the Green Family left behind by my late husband, I had to go out early
and come back late every day. Naturally, I ignored Samuel and let her take advantage of the
opportunity. When I found that my son and I began to be estranged, or even not close to me,
everything was too late. But there was nothing I could do, because the Green Family needed me"
As she said this, Mrs. Green sighed again.
"I was estranged from Samuel and Vincent for more than 20 years, and I watched Zama take control of
the two children. When I handed over the Green Family to Samuel, I knew Zama might attack me, so I
left the Seapolis City and moved abroad. It was ostensibly for leisure, but actually for the protection of
Samuel and Vincent. It was just that I didn't expect her to be more aggressive and restless, and she
was even in contact with people from the Night Elf Empire. If it wasn't for the disappearance of Lucas, I
might not know how deep her roots are in the Green Family over the years. But now that I know it, I still
can't touch her, because there are so many people involved with her, and Samuel doesn't know who
she really is, so I have to wait.”
This kind of helpless was not average person could experience.
Nicole suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zama was Samuel's real mother!
No wonder Zama didn't like her.
Nicole was speechless.
“Aren't you going to tell Samuel that?"
"You could tell him, as there are things that would hurt him if it is me to tell him. If you think it's better to
keep it a secret, keep it a secret. I do treat him as if he were my own son.”
Mrs. Green sighed, as if she were tired.
Nicole jumped to her feet when she saw that Mrs. Green was not feeling well.
"Rest now, mother, and we'll talk about it some other time. Take care of yourself. I count on you to take
care of my babies."
"Good!"
Laurel said it all, and suddenly she felt lighter.
She sighed while lying down, and fell into a deep sleep.
Nicole's mind was not calm.
Suddenly knowing so many secrets of the Green Family, she could not digest them for a while, but she
was also relieved.
It was a relief to Nicole that Lucas was alive and well, surviving as a survivor under the protection of the
Green Family.
She sent for special care for Mrs. Green, but when she went out, she saw Samuel standing by the
door, looking a little ugly.
“When did you come?
"For a while”
Samuel tried to smile, but he couldn't.
Nicole knew he might have heard something.
"Go to your room. I'm a little tired."
"Well!"
Samuel picked her up in his arms and, despite Nicole's objections, carried her back to the ward.
Samuel's eyes lit up as he saw the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
"You got over it?”
“Yes? Aren't you unhappy?”
Nicole laughed like a prize-winning child.
Samuel's lips lifted up slightly.
“I'm glad to hear that.”
"Give me a reward.’
Nicole pursed her mouth, apparently to beg for a reward.
Samuel lowered his head and kissed Nicole gently, but Nicole became so unsatisfied that she wrapped
her arms around his neck and jumped on him.
“Nicole, your body... Well...”
Before Samuel could finish, Nicole kissed on his mouth.
After a deep kiss, both were panting and even emotional.
Samuel leaned over the bed with Nicole in his arms, knowing that Nicole wanted him to be happy, but
how could he be happy after knowing these things?
"Is everything my mother said true?"
"Which one?"
Nicole didn't know how much Samuel had heard, but if he asked, it meant he really heard and cared.
Samuel was silent. He wanted to smoke, but when he reached for his cigarette case, he looked at
Nicole and ended up
setting it down on the table.
“It's all right. You can have one. I don't mind.”
Nicole knew that sometimes men needed nicotine to get themselves in the mood.
Samuel said, “I do. I know that second-hand smoke is bad for you.”
"Quit it.”
Nicole took the cigarette case.
"Yes."
Samuel didn't hesitate.
Smoking itself was not much of an addiction to him.
He started to smoke five years ago when he learned Nicole had died in a fire. He wanted to die with her
at that time, but the Green Family had so much to do that he had to drink and smoke to numb himself.
Now Nicole and the children were with him, and he would give up smoking for their health.
Nicole was surprised when Samuel replied so quickly, "No hesitation.”
"It's not a good thing to fight for.”
Samuel thought Nicole was so cute right now.
There was still wife who persuaded her husband to struggle when giving up smoking. She must be a
freak.
When Samuel smiled, Nicole snorted and put her cigarette case back on the table.
"Why do I think you deliberately trap me?"
"You think too much. With your brain, you would be trapped without me setting a trap for you.”
"Samuel!"
Nicole kicked him a little morosely, eliciting Samuel's muffled laughter, but the next moment he grabbed
her little foot and
whispered, "What do you want?"
"What do you want? You feel refreshed after a nap, don't you? You can still bully me! I can tell you, I'm
the mistress of the
Green Family now! Mother has told me to give me a wedding, and if you don't please me, don't expect
me to agree to marry you.”
Nicole moved her head, looking proud.
Samuel suddenly smiled.
"Where else can you go? Huh?”
"The world is so big, wherever can't I go? I'm a man of power now. I... Ah! Samuel, you attacked me!”
Before Nicole could finish her sentence, she screamed because Samuel's crooked hands had
somehow touched her waist
and slipped under her dress.
"Stop that now! Let go of your hand! Hahaha! It’s itchy!"
Nicole dodged around and the room was filled with her happy laughter.
