Samuel was planning the trip very fast.
The idea of going on a seven-day trip with Nicole was a sudden decision for him. He was worried that
they might not even have many memories together if something bad really happened to them.
As he recalled the time after Nicole had married him, he found that they had spent too little time
together. He could almost count the days they had spent together on one hand.
What Mrs. Green had done to Nicole made him feel that he owed Nicole a lot. To think of the two
children Nicole had given birth to after they got married eight years ago now, he felt he was in even
greater debt to her.
Browsing through various tourist destinations on his phone, Samuel found it hard to decide where to
go.
He immediately called Jacob, his hands trembling.
"Jacob, what's the best place for a trip at this time?"
Jacob froze before he responded quickly, "Mr. Green, are you giving me a vacation to have a trip with
Olivia?"
"What are you thinking about? I'm going on a trip with Nicole. You stay here at the company."
Samuel's words made Jacob gloomy.
"Mr. Green, you can't do that to me. This is your company."
"If you want it, I can give it to you. I don't have time to run the company now."
What Samuel said was indeed the truth.
Jacob became even gloomier.
"Hurry up. Where sounds more fun? I need to book plane tickets now."
"Plane tickets? You guys are not taking your private plane?"
Jacob wondered.
Samuel looked at the corridor outside and said softly, "No, I want to live an ordinary life with Nicole. I
want to experience how ordinary couples live with her."
"How ordinary couples live? It's all about daily necessities such as bread and butter. Nothing so
special."
Samuel was stunned as he heard Jacob's words.
Just daily necessities such as bread and butter.
That didn't sound too bad, did it?
As long as the two of them could be with each other, even just staying at home was like a vacation. But
Samuel still remembered the longing look on Nicole's face when they just got married and she wanted
to go on a honeymoon trip.
He owed Nicole a honeymoon trip!
Samuel whispered, "Where can we enjoy good scenery?"
"If you're looking for somewhere with mild temperature, then I recommend Bordeaux. There's good
food and drink in Médoc, and Pomerol is also great fun. It's a good place to relax."
Samuel was convinced by Jacob's words.
"Then help me book two tickets to Bordeaux. The earlier, the better. Today's tickets would be the best."
After that, Samuel hung up the phone.
Jacob began to book tickets for Samuel in a hurry.
Samuel returned to the ward and saw that Nicole was staring out the window in a daze.
The look on her face was somewhat melancholy.
In the past, Nicole would be lost in thought from time to time. But simply looking at Nicole from the back
now made his heart ache.
Samuel approached her and gently hugged Nicole from behind.
Nicole suddenly froze as she felt the familiar aura of the man. She wanted to struggle to get out of his
embrace, but finally stayed silent.
"Does today count as the first day of the seven days?"
Samuel's heart hurt again as he saw Nicole's gesture.
"Is that the only way to make you feel better? If that's true, it's fine for you to think of it that way."
Samuel's words made Nicole silent again.
She didn't want to hurt Samuel. She also knew that sometimes words were like a knife which was
invisible but sharp. They could hurt people deeply without letting them scream.
She really didn't mean to hurt him.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. It doesn't matter to me what you want to do. After all, we're going to
spend seven days together, right?"
Samuel smiled faintly.
Nicole could see the bitterness hidden in his smile.
She was not feeling so joyful either.
"Shall we go to Bordeaux for a trip? I remember when we just got married, you wanted to go on a
honeymoon. But I was too busy at that time and didn't have time to go. We have delayed it for eight
years. We don't have to go abroad for honeymoon. Let's just take this opportunity and go to Bordeaux.
Isn't that nice?"
Nicole froze again as she heard Samuel's words.
She was surprised that he still remembered that they hadn't gone on a honeymoon trip eight years ago.
But she knew that it was probably not because he was too busy at that time, but because he didn't
want to go.
After all, Samuel did not know she loved him at that time.
She felt that it was not a bad idea that they could go on a honeymoon trip now, so she immediately
nodded.
Jacob had already sent them their ticket numbers.
Samuel asked softly, "Do you need to take anything with you? If you don't need anything, we can set
off now."
"What about the children?"
Nicole was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I've already contacted a babysitter to take care of them."
"And Zoe?"
"I have also found a babysitter to look after her. Don't worry. It's just seven days. Nothing bad is going
to happen."
Samuel wished that Nicole could care about him as much as she cared about the children.
He was even jealous of the children.
Only after Nicole saw that he had arranged everything well did she text Olivia to tell her that she was
going to be away for a few days. She also told Olivia not to worry about her.
Olivia asked for details of where she was going, but Nicole did not tell her.
Then Samuel took Nicole on their trip right away.
When Booth and Olivia learned that Nicole was on a trip with Samuel, Olivia was furious.
"Jacob, did Samuel kidnap Nicole again? Let me tell you this. No matter what Samuel said or did this
time, Nicole is not going to be with him again."
Olivia called Jacob angrily, and she was stamping her feet hard.
Jacob rubbed his temples and said, "Honey, they are trying to make up for their honeymoon trip. Don't
worry about that, okay? We shouldn't mess with their relationship."
"Bullshit! Their relationship? Do you know how much Nicole has paid for this relationship? Her heart is
already riddled with wounds. What do you know? Do you want Nicole to die at the Green's?"
Olivia directly hung up the phone after shouting at the phone.
"Where did they go?"
Olivia began to have people checked Nicole's whereabouts as she said that, but Booth stopped her.
"Olivia, Jacob is right. We shouldn't mess with their relationship. I can tell Nicole loves Mr. Green, and
Mr. Green also loves Nicole wholeheartedly."
"So what? Does it matter if they are deeply in love with each other? I just don't want to see Nicole get
hurt anymore. Do you understand?"
Olivia directly sat down on the bench, feeling downhearted.
Seeing that Olivia was feeling blue, Booth walked closer to sit beside her and whispered, "I understand.
You are even willing to take over all the hardships that Nicole has to go through in the rest of her life.
But Olivia, have you ever thought about this? Everyone has their own lives. Even if Nicole really
divorced Mr. Green, would she be happy then? Would the children she cares about so much live
happily? Mr. Green is not a jerk. If he was the kind of man who didn't care a bit about his wife's well-
being, then a divorce would be a good choice. But think about it. How long can you stay by her side?
You will also get married yourself and have your own family and children. What should Nicole do then?
Do you really want to see her bringing up the children all by herself?"
Olivia was suddenly speechless after hearing that.
She didn't want that to happen!
But...
"Olivia, don't worry about that now. The two of them will figure it out themselves."
Booth's words were extremely unpleasant for Olivia.
"Samuel has beaten you up. Why are you still helping him? Are you really so cheap?"
Booth smiled and said, "If he hadn't beat me up, I wouldn't have said those words. The only reason I'm
not worrying about Nicole going on a trip with him is that he cares about her. He must ask for Nicole's
forgiveness himself, but you must give them time. I have had a check. When the accident happened to
Nicole, Mr. Green was carrying out a task for the military. He is a man who can sacrifice his own family
for the army. Don't you think he's a man with whom Nicole can trust her life? Mr. Green has given all his
power and tasks to others, and he has plenty of time to be with Nicole and make up for the past for her
now. Why do you have to stop him?"
"I am only doing it for Nicole's sake."
Olivia said feebly.
Booth knew that Olivia had been somewhat persuaded.
He continued, "If you really care about her well-being, you should let her go. Mr. Green is a real man,
but no one can guarantee that there are no villains or hypocrites around him. How could he have
foreseen how things turned out? Besides, all of this was Nicole's own choice. She knew Mr. Green's
double identity, but she was still willing to live the life of a military wife. What does that mean? It means
she loves Mr. Green. The word "love" is very mysterious. It can make people be brave enough to
overcome all difficulties, but it can also make people become enemies with each other and live in pain
for the rest of their lives. Do you really want to make Nicole live in regret and pain for the rest of her
life? They love each other, and what they need the most now is time."
"Alright, alright. You're such a rhetorician. If you know so much about love, when are you going to take
a girlfriend home? Mom and dad have called me a few days ago to ask if you have a girlfriend. Booth, if
you don't begin to look for a girlfriend, mom and dad will think you're gay!"
Olivia changed the subject all of a sudden.
Booth did not expect that she would change the subject so quickly, and he almost wanted to moan.
"Olivia, can you please not bring that up?"
"Come with me. Let's go home to see mom and dad."
Olivia then grabbed Booth by his arm and took him home, ignoring all his complaints.
When Nicole and Samuel arrived at the airport, she was confused.
Samuel could guess what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "From now on, we are not Mr. Green
nor Lady Bush. We are just an ordinary couple, and we are travelling in the same way that other people
do. Isn't that great?"
Nicole froze for a moment, but then she still nodded.
Before she married Samuel, she also travelled in economy class.
After boarding the plane, Nicole was stunned again.
And so did Samuel.
It seemed that Jacob really wanted them to experience life. He had booked economy class tickets for
them.
Looking at the economy class which was packed with people, Samuel was a little upset.
With his long legs, wouldn't he be crippled after huddling up for six hours?
Nicole seemed to see through his embarrassment. She smiled as she gestured, "Do you want an
upgrade?"
Seeing the teasing expression on Nicole's face, Samuel gritted his teeth and said, "No, economy class
is fine."
Nicole did not argue with him. She actually felt somewhat relieved in her heart.
She felt like she had returned to her college days, back to the days when she would fly in the crowded
economy class to travel with Olivia.
Nicole found her seat and Samuel's seat very quickly like in the old days.
Seeing Nicole sitting down by the window, Samuel then found his seat by the aisle. There was another
seat between them!
He almost lost his temper.
What was wrong with Jacob?
Shouldn't he book two seats next to each other?
What was going on with the seat between the two of them?
Just as Samuel was dumbfounded, a tall man walked over and sat beside Nicole without saying a
word.
