"Nicole!"
Samuel stood up and ran over.
A car stopped in front of Nicole, and Booth hugged her tightly.
"Are you blind?"
The driver broke out in a cold sweat, and then he became angry.
Booth glared at the driver and said, "Fortunately, you're not blind. Scram!"
The driver noticed that Booth looked angry, and Nicole was shocked. So he gunned the car and ran
away hurriedly.
Samuel saw them when he arrived.
Nicole was in Booth's arms, which made Samuel jealous.
Just as he was about to pull Nicole away, he got a headache, and then he stopped.
He saw Booth hug Nicole and clenched his hands tightly. Compared to headache, Samuel felt more
distressed now.
Was he going to lose Nicole?
No!
Even if he agreed to the divorce, he never wanted to give up on Nicole.
Samuel finally knew himself.
He agreed to give Nicole freedom and get a divorce. But all of these were an excuse. He wanted to
chase after Nicole again.
Seeing Booth beside Nicole, Samuel felt more distressed.
That was his wife. That was his woman!
No one could take Nicole away from him!
But before that, he needed to do something.
Samuel turned around and left with emotion in his gaze.
Nicole was dumbfounded.
She did not know why she was like this just now. After being kissed by Samuel forcefully, she wasn't
not that angry with him. She was angrier to herself for she couldn't control herself.
Just now, she almost fell in love with him again, indulging in Samuel's kiss.
But she couldn't.
She was so lost that she didn't see the car in front of her. She almost died when she fled in a panic. If
Booth wasn't there, she didn't know what she would suffer.
"Nicole, are you alright? What's wrong? What happened? How about the child?"
Booth asked a lot of questions, but Nicole didn't know which to answer first.
"Nicole?"
"It's fine."
Nicole shook her head and said that she was fine. How could she tell Booth what had happened?
No!
She couldn't be influenced by Samuel anymore.
Although she loved him, she must control herself. They were destined not happy, so she couldn't force
herself to hold on any longer.
Nicole pushed away Booth and calmed down. She said, "The child is fine. I might be busy in the next
few days. You don't have to be with me. I'm fine. Please help me find a house. I want to move out."
Booth paused for a moment and said, "Nicole, you can live with me. You don't need to find a house.
You are the friend of my sister. So it's fine to live with me."
"No. I still need a house. I'll get divorced later. It's inconvenient for us to live with you. Besides, I have
to learn to be independent. I can't rely on you all the time. Now that I have JH Mall, I can make a living,
so help me find a house. Please."
Nicole gestured as she said.
Seeing that she was so stubborn, Booth nodded.
They two got on a car and went to the supermarket. Nicole bought some meat and vegetables and then
went home.
Nicole looked at Joseph. Joseph was still in his room. Although Olivia called him a lot of times, he
wouldn't come out.
Nicole saw Joseph sitting in front of the window and looking outside. She didn't know what he was
thinking.
Nicole sat beside Joseph.
Joseph sensed Nicole's arrival. He turned around and looked at her, then he smiled.
Nicole became excited.
Joseph smiled!
Was he about to walk out?
Nicole saw a book in Joseph's hand. She flipped through it. It was a book in sign language.
Joseph was learning sign language.
Was it for her?
Nicole's eyes became moist.
"Baby, as long as you recover, Mommy would be happy."
Nicole said with a gesture.
Joseph leaned against Nicole's embrace and remained silent. This reminded Nicole of Lucas and Zoe.
She wrote, "Lucas came to Land City. He is in the hospital. Do you want to see him with me later?"
Joseph paused for a moment.
He looked at what Nicole had written carefully, and then nodded.
"Then wait a minute here. Mommy will make some food for Lucas. What do you want to eat? I will
make it for you."
Nicole asked.
Joseph shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to eat anything.
Booth leaned against the door and sighed as he saw them.
"What are you doing?"
Olivia couldn't help but ask when she saw Booth, and she was dragged away by Booth.
"What are you doing? I need to talk to Nicole."
Olivia was a little confused. She was still dragged by Booth.
Booth looked at Olivia and said, "Nicole asked me to find a house for her. She wants to move out."
Olivia froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "I understand her. For her, it's enough to stay with you
for a month. Nicole doesn't like to rely on others. She has to make a living by herself in the future."
"Olivia, what's wrong with you? Do you want her to move out? Look at Joseph and her now. Besides,
one of her sons broke his leg. If he came to live with her, how could they live if they move out?"
Booth was anxious.
He was puzzled. Olivia was Nicole's best friend. Why didn't Olivia worry about her?
Olivia looked at Booth and smiled, "This is Nicole. No matter how difficult life was and how many trials
she had to suffer, she could still overcome it herself. She wants to be independent. As her friends, we
can help her. But she doesn't want the help all the time. After all, she also has her dignity. Don't worry,
she can do it! As a mother, she has to take that step. Now she can accept the fact that she is mute,
which surprises me a lot. By the way, when is that doctor available? Can he cure Nicole?"
Hearing Olivia's words, Booth took out his phone and asked.
Olivia looked at Joseph's room and felt sad, but she knew that what Nicole needed now wasn't help,
but support.
When Nicole came out, she saw Olivia standing in the living room and staring at her. Nicole thought
there was something on her face, so she touched her face.
"Is there anything on my face?"
She gestured.
Olivia smiled and shook her head. Then, Olivia hugged her.
"I heard from Booth that you're moving out?"
"Yes!"
Nicole nodded.
"Have you decided?"
"Yeah!"
Nicole nodded again.
Olivia looked at Nicole and whispered, "No matter what decision you make, I will support you, including
your decision to divorce Samuel. I know that it's not a whim. You didn't tell me what happened in the
Seapolis City, and I didn't ask you either. Because I knew that it was your matter. Since you didn't want
to tell me, I wouldn't ask you either. When you wanted to marry Samuel, although I didn't agree, I still
supported you. Now that you want to end your marriage, I still support you. I know that you have your
reasons. However, Nicole, I can let you go. I can let you rent a house. But remember, you are not
alone. If you can't hold on any longer, you still have me. Do you know?"
Nicole's eyes became moist.
She was so lucky to have a best friend like Olivia in her life.
She hugged Olivia tightly and choked up.
"Well, stop. You make me cry. Nicole, no matter how much suffering life has given us, we have to face
it with a smile. I know you still love Samuel, but since you've decided, then just do it. It will hurt you if
you delay it. I want you happy, confident, strong and independent, instead of being Mrs. Green who lost
herself in the Green family."
Hearing Olivia's words, Nicole nod.
Over the past eight years, everyone could tell that Nicole had lost herself for love, except herself.
Fortunately, she still had a good friend like Olivia.
Nicole let go of Olivia and gestured, "I know. It's the matter between me and Samuel. Don't vent your
anger on Jacob. Jacob is a good man, and he treats you well. Since you are engaged, don't break up
with him. He has always treated you well. Don't you know?"
Olivia smiled and said, "Don't worry about me and him. Jacob is not bad, but he protects Samuel too
much. Sometimes we have quarrels. We decided to calm down for a while. Besides, I didn't tell my dad
about my marriage. I have to give my dad some time, right?"
When Nicole heard her words, she didn't say anything.
Although Olivia looked careless, she had her own ways towards feelings.
Nicole patted Olivia's shoulder and went to the kitchen to make food for Lucas and Joseph.
Looking at Nicole's back, Olivia took out her phone and saw Jacob's phone number. She couldn't help
but smile.
Seeing the scene in the kitchen, Nicole felt relieved.
She cooked the food quickly and put it in the box. Thinking that Lucas would enjoy the food she
cooked, Nicole felt happy.
Nicole went upstairs and planned to change Joseph's clothes. When she was going to take him to the
hospital, she couldn't find Joseph.
