Nicole hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.
She wanted to bring Maia and Tim together, but never thought about the gap between them. After
hearing Tim's words, she suddenly hesitated.
Was this a good thing for Maia?
However, seeing that Maia and Tim had no intention of being together, Nicole didn't want to tell them
her plan.
She looked at Samuel and used the conversion software that converted the text into electronic speech,
"Samuel, am I doing the right thing? Tim has wasted so much time on me. I really don't want to see him
die alone. Everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness. Since I'm not his soulmate, should I
pair him and Maia off? I know that they don't fit to each other since they are from different classes.
However, Maia is very good-hearted, kind and upright. Such a woman will fall in love without hesitation
once she makes up her mind. I really hope that Tim can have a vigorous love and find his own
happiness. Am I doing the right thing?"
Samuel still didn't respond.
Nicole found that Samuel seemed to have been in deep sleep and any sound could not wake him up.
Her words could not rouse Samuel. Perhaps it was because the software gave electronic speech
instead of her voice.
Thinking of this, Nicole felt a little sad.
Her voice...
She couldn't help but think of the requirements of the Miller family that Morgan had mentioned.
Although Nicole did not know the specifics, it must have been something bad since the Miller family
went to all that trouble.
Nicole had considered whether she could let Morgan examine Samuel. After all, Morgan's nickname
was Satan King. However, Nicole failed to dial that number because of the Miller family.
Looking at Samuel who became thinner and thinner and was lying here like a dead man, Nicole was
heartbroken.
She could take care of him for the rest of her life, but only when Samuel would be never able to wake
up would she make such a decision.
Right now, there was a chance Samuel would regain consciousness, but...
Nicole sighed deeply.
"Samuel, what do you think I should do? Should I go for Morgan? Perhaps she can cure you. I've lost
my voice. Our children and I cannot live without you. Samuel, I promise you, as long as you get better, I
will do nothing but live a good life with you, okay?"
Nicole looked at Samuel, typed the words that she wanted to say and converted them into electronic
speech by software. However, Samuel was still lying there motionlessly. She did not know whether
Samuel had taken them in.
Just as Nicole was wondering whether her decision was right or wrong, Tim was very anxious.
'That stupid Maia is still waiting for Mr. Ron in the hall?'
Thinking of this, Tim got up and put on sportswear before leaving the room and walking towards the
elevator.
If Maia was still waiting, he would take her to eat something.
Just as the elevator door was about to close, a woman suddenly reached in.
"Wait a moment!"
As she spoke, the fragrance greeted Tim. A beautiful, slender and tall woman squeezed in.
"Sorry."
The woman looked at Tim and was surprised.
'Wow, this man is so handsome.'
The men here all had dark skin, partly because of the climate. In general, they were less than 1.8
meters tall. It was not easy to see a man who was 1.85 meters tall, had fair skin and looked very noble.
Therefore, the woman immediately smiled when she saw Tim.
"Sir, you're not a native, are you?"
Tim was used to getting hit on and did not even throw a glance at the woman. He pretended not to hear
her.
Seeing Tim like this, the woman did not feel discouraged but got close to Tim.
"Sir, I'm here for a tour. You are also a tourist, right? Why don't we make friends with each other? Can I
friend you on Twitter?"
"Do you think I look like a QR code?"
Tim finally spoke, but his words were very unpleasant to hear.
The woman met with a refusal, so she was a little unhappy. However, she did not say anything else.
Instead, she followed Tim, got off the elevator and came to the hall on the first floor.
As expected, Maia was waiting there. Tim couldn't help but shake his head. Then, he stepped forward
and grabbed Maia's arm without saying a word.
"Hey! What are you doing? I can't leave! If Mr. Ron comes out without seeing me, he will think that we
are not sincere."
Maia struggled, but she suddenly realized that Tim, whom she called a boy toy, had great strength.
"He would have seen you if he wanted. I bet that Mr. Ron is not in the hotel. It is better to go have a
meal to make yourself full instead of waiting here like a fool. Let's find another way to see him."
Tim had promised Nicole to teach Maia something, so he could not sit back and do nothing.
Maia didn't figure it out.
"If we can't see him, what should we do to meet him?"
"Don't worry. I have better success, but you need to have a meal first. I'm starving after driving for so
long. Can you be considerate of me?"
While speaking, Tim took Maia to a restaurant and sat down at the table.
Maia was a little embarrassed and said, "This is a high-consumption place. Let's go somewhere else.
I'll treat you to the meal."
"Forget it. Let me treat you. Now that you come out with me, you should gain experience with me. Don't
think of saving money. Lady Bush is very rich, so she can pay your expenses."
"Lady Bush's money is not mine. I can't waste her money."
Hearing this, Tim involuntarily glanced at Maia.
Originally, Tim thought that Maia didn't have any advantages, but he felt that she suddenly looked
pleasing to the eye when Maia was so considerate of Nicole.
"I just realize that you don't look, although you don't have nice skin."
Maia's mouth twitched.
"We take dark skin as beauty."
"What do you mean?"
This was the first time Tim had heard about this.
Seeing that Tim really wanted to know that, Maia told him about the customs here and the conventions
of the surrounding countryside, such as 'walking marriage'.
They broadened Tim's horizons.
"Oh dear, the customs here are too interesting. Walking marriage? You mean that a man would spend
some time with the woman, get her pregnant and then just leave?"
"Yes."
Maia nodded.
Tim hurriedly asked, "What about the baby? What if the baby is born?"
"Haven't you heard the folk rhyme? Women carry their babies when they go on a date. People there
live in a matriarchal society. The children are brought up by their mother, and their mother carry them to
find other men to marry."
Tim simply couldn't understand it.
"What about the child's biological father? He has custody of the child."
"It's the custom. You don't need to learn too much. This is a good thing for you guys, isn't it? Men can
leave when their desires are satisfied. They don't have to care about anything. You guys can be very
happy."
Hearing this, Tim shook his head.
"If I was a father, I would not leave alone. My child must live with me. Why does my child have to be
someone else's? It's not like I can't bring him up. I won't have a baby if I can't be responsible to it."
Maia looked at Tim and felt astonished.
She didn't expect Tim to be such a responsible man.
"I suddenly feel that you're not that bad."
"I've always been great, okay?"
Tim glared at her and ordered dishes for her.
Right at this moment, the woman that Tim met in the elevator walked over. She looked at Maia beside
Tim and said with disgust, "Cutie, you don't have a good taste. I see. You want to try something new
here, so you found this country girl to accompany you, right?"
Tim couldn't help but feel a little annoyed being haunted by this woman.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Alexia. I'm a jewelry designer. If you like jewelry, you can look for me. I can verify the
jewelry's value for you. The traders here often mixed the genuine with the fictitious. You will be cheated
if you cannot verify the value of the jewelry."
Alexia said with a smile.
Tim only felt that this name was a little familiar, but this woman in front of him was somewhat irritating,
especially since she had just slandered Maia.
Although he didn't like Maia very much, no one else could criticize Maia since Maia worked for Nicole
and was brought here by him.
"A word of advice for you."
"Tell me, cutie."
Alexia smiled and waited.
Tim put on a charming smile and said, "Get out!"
Alexia looked somewhat awkward.
Maia was originally quite angry. Seeing that Tim treated Alexia this way, Maia couldn't help but chuckle.
"What are you laughing at? Bumpkin, have more dishes here lest you cannot afford to have them for
the rest of your life."
Alexia lost her temper with Maia instead of Tim.
Maia's expression darkened.
"Miss, are you looking for a fight?"
Although Maia looked young, she was not timid.
Tim appreciated the way that Maia treated Alexia. She had the nerve to make her move when she was
offended.
"Go ahead! I'll support you."
Tim laughed and cheered.
Alexia felt herself humiliated.
Who didn't know her name here?
Many people here came to ask her to verify the value of the jewelry. Everyone was polite to her.
However, this country girl snatched away the man she liked and even dared to provoke her. It was so
absurd!
Alexia tried her best to suppress her anger and said coldly, "How rude you are. Ladies don't fight in
public. You look like a wild child from the countryside. You are so tacky. How can you make friends with
this gentleman? You are so cheap that you can't even pick up the laundry for him!"
Maia was disdained again and again, so she was fuming with anger.
"I don't know if I can pick up her laundry. I want to give you something."
Alexia instantly frowned.
"What do you want to give me?"
"A slap!"
After Maia finished speaking, she gave Alexia a slap. She used so much strength that her arm went
numb.
