Nicole wanted to sit up and take a look, but she couldn't.
Because once she went out of the room, Vincent would know she had been pretending to be asleep.
But what did he want to do to Zoe and Joseph?
The children were in danger, and she still had to pretend?
When would this fake peace with Vincent end? When would Samuel return?
Nicole was not sure, so she could only wait.
It was quiet, but it worried Nicole even more.
She wanted to lift the blanket and have a peep, even through the door slot. However, just as she was
about to get up, she saw a shadow under the door.
Vincent was still here!
In other words, he had been waiting outside to see if she was pretending to be asleep.
If she went out now, she would probably bump into him.
Nicole's heart was racing.
Was Vincent suspicious of her? Or did he discover something?
Nicole did not dare to think or move. She tried to sleep but stared at the shadow under the door despite
herself.
About ten minutes later, Vincent, who was outside the room, felt relieved and left.
Nicole's back was drenched in cold sweat.
She felt she and her children were in greater danger.
She only hoped Samuel would come back soon.
She didn't dare to speak, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Finn, asking him to tell
Samuel things were not good at home and he should come back as soon as possible.
The minute Finn received the text message, he contacted Samuel. Unfortunately, he couldn't get
through to him.
He thought Samuel's phone was dead, so he sent him a text message. After a while, Finn tried to call
him again but got the same result.
Nicole had ants in her pants, but she couldn't go out to check.
She did not know what Vincent would do to Zoe but figured Zoe would be fine since Joseph was here.
She comforted herself and felt time moving slowly.
After trying for more than an hour, Finn still couldn't get in touch with Samuel. He was somewhat
uneasy and drove back to the place where he had parted ways with Samuel.
He heard a car accident happened here after he left. It was said to be horrible, but Finn was familiar
with the license plate of the car in this accident.
It was Samuel's!
Could something have happened to Samuel?
Finn asked around, but the people he left here were all gone, and he got no clues.
He ran all over the hospitals but didn't find any news about Samuel.
Samuel and those people seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
Finn spent the whole night searching for him. At dawn, Nicole couldn't help but call Finn.
"Finn, did Samuel say when he would be back?"
Finn didn't know how to answer her.
Nicole was sensitive and perceptive. She frowned when she noticed Finn was hesitating.
"What's the matter?"
"I can't get in touch with Mr. Green anymore."
Finn muttered with guilt.
He worked for Nicole, and his job was to solve problems for her, but he lost Samuel.
"What do you mean you can't get in touch with him?"
Nicole felt her hands and feet cold but tried to remain calm.
Finn whispered, "I called him, but his phone was off, so I drove to the place where we parted ways.
There was a car accident after I left. It was Mr. Green's car, but I couldn't find any news about him.
Even the people I left there were gone. There was no trace of them. I'm sorry, I'm useless. I'll have the
Night Elf Empire look into this."
Nicole's heart sank.
Who was Samuel?
Mere mortals were no match for him!
Besides, the Night Elf Empire members were with him, how could he disappear for no reason?
What exactly happened there?
The shooting club was Vincent's stronghold, but Tim and Jason took it down. However, instead of
checking on it, Vincent came back to see what she was doing. All this made Nicole suspicious.
Was Vincent the reason Samuel disappeared?
If so, Vincent was simply too powerful. She and Samuel might have underestimated him.
Nicole's silence worried Finn.
"Please relax. I will find Mr. Green."
"Thank you, but you have to keep yourself safe. I don't want anything bad happen to anyone."
Finn was surprised to hear that and smiled.
"I will."
After hanging up the phone, Nicole could no longer calm down.
Now that Samuel was missing, did she need to keep playing dumb with Vincent? Did she have to leave
Zoe in this dangerous place?
She hesitated.
The servant came knocking on the door and asked, "Mrs. Green, are you awake? Breakfast is ready."
"Got it. I'll be there in a minute."
Nicole tried to sound normal.
She lifted the blanket and got out of bed, feeling stronger.
After washing up, Nicole came to the dining room and saw Vincent was sitting there and chatting
happily with the two kids.
He looked like he would not harm Samuel.
However, Joseph would not lie. Joseph said Vincent wanted Lucas dead, which was like a thorn in
Nicole's heart, and it hurt badly now and then.
Vincent noticed Nicole first and greeted her with a smile.
"Good morning, Nicole! Come and have breakfast. I heard from the servant you had not been feeling
well recently. How is it? Are you feeling better? Samuel is not here, so you must take good care of
yourself."
Vincent smiled brightly, as if he was still the same old him.
Zoe jumped off the table and came to Nicole's side, saying with a grin, "Mommy, Uncle said he would
take me and Joseph out after breakfast."
Nicole was startled.
"Going out?"
"That's right. Zoe and Joseph have spent too much time in this house. You are not in good health, but
the children need to have some fun. I'm free today, so I'll take them out. I heard Zoe liked riding
wooden horses. She and Joseph will have a good time."
Vincent was still smiling, but Nicole became nervous.
Why would he take Zoe out now?
Samuel was missing!
Nicole was on edge but looked calm. She whispered, "I feel much better now, so why don't we go out
together after breakfast? I have stayed here for quite some time too, and I would love a walk."
Vincent looked at Nicole and studied her expression, but Nicole was just as calm as usual.
He smiled, "You are right. You and Samuel have been worrying about Lucas recently. He hasn't
returned, so you must be bored. I think it's a good idea that you would join us."
Nicole was a little annoyed, but she smiled faintly and said, "Alright."
Zoe was thrilled to hear that and jumped.
Children were innocent, especially a carefree kid like Zoe.
Nicole didn't know what to say, so she sat down beside Zoe and ate.
It was quiet during the meal.
Even Zoe, who was talkative, restrained herself. She looked at Joseph. Joseph smiled and gave her a
piece of roasted pork.
Only then did Zoe reveal a smile.
Vincent looked at them and did not say anything.
Nicole lost her appetite.
She couldn't get through to Samuel, but Vincent offered to take the children out. Was Vincent going to
make his move? Were things getting ugly?
Nicole was agitated.
If it had been against someone else, she would have had a chance of winning, but not Vincent.
Moreover, considering how weak she was now, she was even planning on asking for help.
But who would help her?
Blair?
Tim or Jason?
Perhaps Vincent wouldn't even let her.
She seemed to have no one but herself.
Jacob wasn't around. Finn was out of town. So, she was fighting alone.
Nicole did not know if this was fate or Vincent's plan. She felt isolated.
However, she still finished her meal quietly.
Zoe happily went to change clothes for going out and having fun, and Joseph also entered the room.
Vincent looked at Nicole and smiled, "Nicole, aren't you going to change clothes?"
"I'm good. It's not like I am going to see someone important. Sportswear is fine."
Nicole said casually.
She did not dare to leave Vincent, afraid he would do something. Although she knew it was useless
keeping an eye on him, she found it comforting.
Vincent did not persuade her.
When the children came downstairs, they looked adorable.
"Mommy!"
Zoe rushed to Nicole.
Fortunately, Vincent did not stop her.
The four of them got in the car and went to the nearest amusement park.
It seemed like Vincent really took the children there for fun.
Both Zoe and Joseph had a good time.
Nicole was always nervous, but Vincent joined the children, as if he was a competent uncle and daddy.
"Nicole, come and join us."
Vincent was sweating profusely. Nicole couldn't believe a man who had such a bright smile would harm
Lucas.
However, she still shook her head and said, "No, you know I should avoid getting tired. You guys play."
"Okay. Then you sit there."
Vincent did not mind at all and even took the children to the roller coaster.
The children screamed excitedly, but Nicole's eyes never left them.
Just when she was agitated, someone sat beside her. He pulled his hat down and whispered, "Mrs.
Green!"
