Samuel's words made Nicole silent.
Even Audrey couldn't solve this problem. What could they do?
“It's very troublesome, right?”
Samuel didn't say anything, but held Nicole tightly.
They didn't have many opportunities to see each other, and it was impossible for them to meet in the
embassy every time. Moreover, Nicole couldn't have an identity overnight.
Noticing Samuel's silence, Nicole knew that he was also worried.
She whispered, “If I forever can't have an identity, will you still be at my side?”
“What are you talking about? You are my wife, our children's mother and the hostess of the Green
family. Whether you have an identity or not, my mother, the Greens and I will always recognize you.
Don't think nonsense. We can finally find a way to solve your problem.”
Samuel's words soothed Nicole anxiety.
She really didn’t expect that one day she would become a person without an identity.
She couldn't take a car or plane. Nor could she register. She couldn't do anything that required any
proof of identity. She even didn't know whether she could stay with Samuel in the future.
Thinking of this, she felt very uncomfortable, helpless, and aggrieved.
Samuel knew that she was in a bad mood, but he didn't know how to comfort her. After all, it was the
result but not words that mattered. But now he didn't have any ideas.
They hugged each other for a while. Samuel whispered, “Are you still staying at Audrey's house?”
“Yeah.”
“Stay there for another two days at most. I will come to pick you up then.”
“OK!”
Nicole leaned against him and listened to his heartbeat, but she felt that it was somewhat illusory.
It was strange. Samuel was right beside her, but she felt that she could never see him again later.
Nicole felt that she might be suffering from depression.
“Samuel.”
“Yes?”
“Have you got the wedding rings?”
Samuel was stunned for a moment. He nodded and said, “Yes, here they are.”
“Let me have a look.”
Nicole's mood was lightened.
Samuel took out a pair of wedding rings from his pocket.
The wedding rings were very elegant with their names on.
Nicole looked at the wedding rings and was moved.
“When we got married eight years ago, you even didn’t propose to me.”
“Then how about I propose now?”
Samuel asked gently.
Nicole looked at him and tears welled up.
Samuel immediately knelt down on one knee.
“Ms. Nicole, although there aren't flowers, applause or witnesses today, I want to say that I want to
marry you and be with you for the rest of my life. You will be the apple of my eye. Marry me, OK?”
“Yes!”
Nicole cried for joy.
She was deeply touched.
The scene she had expected eight years ago finally came true today. How precious it was!
They had experienced so many things before they got back together again. Although there were still
short-term difficulties, at this moment, they didn’t seem to be afraid of anything.
Samuel put the wedding ring on her finger. It suited her well.
Nicole looked at the ring, and suddenly hugged Samuel tightly.
“Promise that you will never leave me.”
“I won't. I'll stay with you forever.”
Samuel held Nicole tightly.
They embraced and kissed each other again.
Happy times were always short.
Samuel couldn't stay here for too long; otherwise, others would think it was suspicious. Since it was
almost time, she had no choice but to come out of the inner room although Audrey didn’t want to
interrupt them.
“Ahem.”
Nicole hurriedly let go of Samuel and her face flushed with embarrassment.
Samuel was not embarrassed at all. He respectfully said, “Minister Shaw, thank you very much for
taking care of Nicole these days.”
“Not at all. We hit it off.”
Audrey said sincerely.
Nicole was right to her taste. She seldom liked a girl so much.
Samuel nodded and said, “Minister Shaw, can we have a talk outside?”
Nicole wanted to follow them but was stopped by Samuel.
“Stay here. There are many people outside.”
“What do you want to say to Auntie Audrey?”
Nicole was curious.
Samuel laughed, “Anything but whispers of love. Don't worry.”
“You are so naughty.”
Nicole kicked him and watched as Samuel and Audrey walked out of the office. She could only stay in
the office.
Outside the office, Audrey spoke to Samuel.
“Don't worry about her safety. She'll be fine by my side.”
“I definitely trust you. What I want to say is another matter.”
Audrey was a bit surprised.
“What's that?”
“Please look at this.”
Samuel took out his marriage certificate from his pocket.
Audrey was a little puzzled, but she opened it. When she saw Nicole's picture, she was astonished.
“Who's she?”
“She is my wife, Nicole. Five years ago, she was disfigured in a big fire. She had plastic surgery later,
so her appearance changed.”
Samuel said honestly.
Audrey's hands trembled.
“She ... how could she ...”
“She resembles you, right? This is also what I’m curious about. Minister Shaw, I think I can tell you
something that even Nicole doesn't know.”
Samuel's words made Audrey excited.
“What's it?”
“Nicole's parents aren't her biological parents.”
“Are you sure?”
Audrey's eyes suddenly widened.
Samuel whispered, “Nicole was abducted some time ago. To find her, we sent her DNA datum to the
police and matched it with her parents’. Unfortunately, they are not related to each other. I haven't told
Nicole about this yet. That’s why I was stunned when I saw you.”
“For what?”
Audrey trembled.
Samuel looked around and whispered, “Twenty years ago, Xander, the eldest son of the Dons’, had a
girlfriend. At that time, they loved each other deeply, but he needed to go to the battlefield. So, Xander
left his girlfriend and joined the army. In the end, he died on the battlefield. I heard that his girlfriend
gave birth to a child and then disappeared. Mrs. Don has been searching for that child these days. She
even almost mistook many people and did many things wrong.”
“What does this have to do with me?”
Audrey's voice was quivering.
Samuel said in a low voice, “I don't know whether it has anything to do with you or not. I only know that
Jason took Nicole to Xander’'s studio, and she took out a photo from there. It is a picture of the woman
who looks quite similar to my wife Nicole. Nicole was curious, but she didn’t think too much about it. But
Minister Shaw, what do you think?”
“I don't know what you're talking about. If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.”
Audrey said coldly.
Samuel looked at her and didn't say anything more. He took back the marriage certificate.
“Minister Shaw, no matter what, thank you for taking care of Nicole. I'll bring her home when the
problem is solved. We won't disturb you anymore.”
With that, Samuel turned around and left.
Audrey lost her balance. She staggered, and leaned against the wall.
The wall behind her was extremely cold, but she felt hot because of excitement.
How could this be?
Was everything arranged by fate?
Otherwise, how would they encounter each other in a foreign country?
Audrey struggled painfully.
She went straight to the restroom and locked herself inside. She covered her face with her hands and
sobbed.
Twenty years passed by!
She hadn't thought about it for more than twenty years, but now Samuel's words remained her of that
again.
Nicole!
Was the girl whom she liked very much the pitiful child?
Audrey wept in the restroom for a long time. She looked at herself in the mirror and noticed that her
eyes were red and swollen. Many feelings flooded over her.
After washing her face, Audrey returned to her office.
Nicole hurried up to her.
“Auntie, why have you been out for so long? What did Samuel say to you? Did he say bad things about
me? What happened to your eyes? Did you cry?”
Nicole asked when she saw Audrey's red and swollen eyes.
Audrey shook her head and said, “It’s fine. It is windy outside. Grains of sand went into my eyes.”
“Alright.”
This was obviously an excuse, but Nicole said nothing. After all, if Audrey didn’t want to tell her the
truth, she shouldn't probe into that.
Seeing Nicole was so considerate, Audrey had mixed feelings.
If Viola was here, Viola would definitely bombard her with questions, but Nicole seemed to believe her.
Audrey looked at Nicole and suddenly asked, “Has you undergone plastic surgery?”
“Yes. Did Samuel tell you that? I was disfigured by a fire five years ago. I had no choice but to have
plastic surgery. What’s wrong? Is it very obvious?”
Nicole touched her face, somewhat worried.
Back then, Charlotte said that plastic surgery isn't fail-safe. Now that she heard Audrey's question, she
was somewhat scared.
Audrey shook her head and said, “No, it's great. I can't tell at all.”
“Auntie, why did you suddenly ask about it?”
Nicole asked curiously.
Audrey replied, “I just thought of it. By the way, can I call you Nikki?”
“Sure.”
Nicole liked Audrey very much, so she didn’t mind Audrey called her Nikki. However, she felt that
something had happened to Audrey just now.
Audrey looked at her and pondered for a long time.
She then said, “Nikki, I will think of a way to solve your identity problem. But now I'll take you to draw
some blood first so that later it will be easier for me to help you. Is that OK for you?”
While saying these words, Audrey felt her palms sweated. She could barely stand, and she was afraid
to meet Nicole's gaze.
