"I'll get it!"
Nicole quickly stood up and hurried to the door.
Looking at her who ran off nervously, Samuel suddenly thought she was really cute. He felt they
seemed to go back to their university days when Nicole never dared to look straight at him but could
only glance at him secretly. Whenever he turned his eyes on her, she would run away as she did today.
Samuel felt completely relaxed. As long as he stayed with her, everything was different.
Maybe it was because of love.
Samuel lay on the chair leisurely, watching Nicole open the door. He didn’t know how to make his
feelings clear.
He hurriedly stood up and strode over to protect Nicole behind him, speaking to the visitor, "What's the
matter?"
"Hello, sir! I'm a travel agent nearby. May I ask if you need any help from us?"
Stood at the door was a young girl who looked like a graduate.
Samuel apparently saw the young Nicole in her.
"Thanks," he said indifferently. "But we've already booked a travel agency."
"Sir, here is an autonomous region. Many villages have their own management system. You, as
outsiders, if choose an unreliable travel agency, may suffer a great loss. Our travel agency is a
legitimate one. We..."
"Alright, we don't want it. Thank you."
Samuel interrupted her, feeling her too noisy.
"My wife has already booked a travel agency. Well, thank you."
After saying that, Samuel directly closed the door.
Nicole blushed when she heard Samuel called her wife directly. She broke free from his restraints and
ran to the bathroom to take a bath.
Seeing her like this, Samuel couldn't help but laugh.
At night, Samuel did not ask to sleep with her. Instead, He let her sleep in bed while he himself lay on
the sofa.
Nicole was a little hesitated when she saw him, being six foot, hunching on the sofa.
'Should I ask him to sleep in bed?'
'Or just watch him sleep on the couch?' Nichole thought.
Samuel perceived her hesitation and said, smiling, "What? Are you going to have mercy on me and let
me sleep in bed?"
Nicole's eyes met his. She hurriedly pulled the quilt over her and didn't say anything.
Samuel knew that Nicole wouldn't disagreed even if he went to bed now, but he decided not to.
They had plenty of time being together, so he wanted to take it slow.
Samuel turned off the lights and returned to the sofa.
Finding that Samuel did not get on the bed, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she
also felt slightly disappointed.
Aware of her disappointment, Nicole hurriedly warned herself internally.
'How could I feel frustrated?'
'Couldn't I really hope to have something to do with Samuel?'
Nicole covered her head with the blanket and forced herself to fall asleep.
However, the harder she tried, the harder she found it to sleep. At last, she heard Samuel’s even
breathing.
'Is he asleep now?'
Nicole was a little surprised.
Samuel, indeed, had suffered a lot with her on the way. Maybe it was his first time to fly coach and the
flight was also long, so it was normal for him to be tired now.
When Samuel was asleep, Nicole was completely relaxed.
She walked barefoot to Samuel.
She could see his face clearly even without lights.
Sitting at Samuel's sofa, Nicole gazed at him quietly. She subconsciously extended her hand, wanting
to touch his face, but her hand eventually hung a few centimeters away from his face.
Then she gave a great sigh.
She fetched the quilt, covered him back up and then carried his clothes to the bathroom. She washed
and dried them.
Nicole did not know that as soon as she got up, Samuel was awake.
He looked at her who was bustling about as if they were at the Green's.
At that time, Nicole was always preparing everything well for him, but now she could only do so while
he was asleep.
Noticing she was barefoot, Samuel wanted to get up to get her a pair of slippers, but when Nicole
turned around, he quickly remained still and closed his eyes.
He knew that now Nicole didn't want to go back to the days in the past at all. If he woke up now, he
would probably ruin everything.
So, he continued to pretend to be asleep.
Finishing everything, Nicole walked back to the room to take a check, only to find the blanket lying on
the ground. She hurriedly bent down and picked it up. However, when she straightened up, she let out
a muffled grunt, the blanket in her hands dropping to the ground again.
She grasped her left hand, her face revealing a painful expression.
Samuel felt the weight of the blanket on his body and quickly took a squint, seeing Nicole hugging her
left hand with an expression of pain.
He frowned slightly.
He still remembered that her left arm was injured before when she tried to protect him from the attacks
of others. Did that leave sequelae to her arm?
His brow was knitted as he thought.
After a while, Nicole felt better. However, she could only lift up the quilt with her right hand and then
covered Samuel's body. Then she tidied herself up and went back to bed.
Because of the tiredness of the plane, Nicole quickly fell asleep.
Only after Nicole fell asleep did Samuel open his eyes.
He saw Nicole's feet exposed outside the blanket and hurriedly fetched a basin of warm water. He
soaked towel in the water, wrung it and then wiped her feet carefully.
Nicole was too tired to wake up.
After Samuel dried her feet, he rubbed his hands warm and began to massage the soles of her feet.
Nicole turned around comfortably without any sign of waking up.
After finishing the massage, Samuel gazed at her weak left arm with his brow knitted.
He turned up the heat.
Although he felt a little hot, he heard from others that it was not good for a woman if the temperature in
the room was too cool, so he decided to consider Nicole first.
The sudden impulse of smoking arose in him.
Since Nicole left, he began to smoke frequently.
Casting a glance at Nicole, Samuel walked out of the room with cigarettes in his hands.
When he arrived at the corridor outside, he lit a cigarette and called Jacob.
"Find out what happened to Nicole's left arm."
"Alright."
When Jacob did the research, Samuel, restless and worried, stood in the corridor and smoked
continuously until he received Jacob's call.
"Mr. Green, I’m sorry that Mrs. Nichole's left arm is incurable."
"What?"
Samuel was too shocked that he did not notice that the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.
Jacob said in a deep voice, "Nichole's arm was not treated in time and afterward she was forced to do
some housework by Mrs. Green, so...."
"Damn it!"
Samuel punched the wall with his fist angrily.
Laurel was already dead. If she was still alive, he would definitely not spare her!
After staying outside to settle down for a while, Samuel entered the room again.
Nicole was still asleep.
The moonlight fell upon her features through the window. She looked so serene and gentle.
Samuel's heart ached.
She had experienced so much. No wonder she wanted to end the marriage.
If it was him who had to deal with all this, he wasn't sure if he could get through it. And all of this was
due to his negligence.
Samuel sat on the edge of the bed, his hands holding hers and didn't remove the whole night.
When Nicole woke up in the morning, she found Samuel resting on the edge of her bed, his hand still
holding hers.
She did not move, afraid to wake him up.
She looked at Samuel whose features were still the same as eight years ago. Knowing that he was still
caring about her, Nicole felt a trace of sweetness in her heart.
Since they only had seven days spent together, she decided to temporarily throw all matters behind
and wholeheartedly enjoy these days with him.
Thinking of this, Nicole drew back her hand, to which Samuel immediately woke up.
"You're up?" Samuel blurted out.
He paused for a while when he met Nicole's gentle gaze.
He thought that he made a mistake and quickly rubbed his eyes.
"I don't seem to have woken up yet?"
Nicole laughed and gestured, "I'm hungry. Let's go out for breakfast."
"Alright, let's go!"
Samuel was extremely happy. As long as Nicole revealed a smile at him, he could do anything.
Hearing that she was hungry, he held her hand and quickly rose up in an attempt to leave, but was
stopped by Nicole.
"I haven't washed yet."
Nicole found Samuel acted in a foolish way.
Samuel also realized that he was in too great a hurry, but he didn't really care about it. He smiled and
said, "You are right so I really need you to stay by my side. I'll go wash up and come back at once. No
... You go first."
Samuel spoke awkwardly, like a young boy.
Nicole smiled and made a motion with her hand, "You go ahead. I want to rest for a while. I'll go when
you come out."
"Aren't you well?"
Samuel asked worriedly.
Nicole shook her head.
"I just don't want to get out of bed now."
She smiled embarrassedly.
Seeing that Nicole was fine, Samuel went to the bathroom at ease.
He washed up very quickly. When he finished, Nicole was still in bed.
"Do you need my help?"
Knowing that her left arm was weak, he hurriedly offered help.
Nicole paused for a moment and shook her head.
When she was done and came out of the bathroom, she found that Samuel had prepared everything.
He specially chose a large bag containing water and food.
Nicole said, "We go out for a trip. You don’t need to bring these things."
"We’d better to take them. We need water. The things we buy outside may not be clean. You get a low
blood sugar so I take something for you to eat in case that you feel too tired."
Seeing that Samuel was so well prepared, Nicole did not say anything. She just felt unaccustomed to
the change that Samuel who have Jacob set up everything, was able to arrange everything well now.
After having breakfast, they came to the travel agency.
Nicole just picked one agency randomly which she thought would be big, but when she came to here,
she was somewhat disappointed.
It was just a small house with a table placed at the entrance. On it were some scenic spots maps. It
was very simple and crude.
Nicole was somewhat worried.
"Samuel, how about us finding a new one?"
Nicole asked for Samuel's opinion.
At this moment, from inside walked out a woman who surprised both Samuel and Nicole.
