"Hey, come on! Drink it! Why are you looking at me? You can't drink?"
Tim looked at Maia in front of him, and became annoyed due to her expression.
What was that look?
When did he need others' sympathy?
"You are gonna drink or not? Get lost if you don't drink!"
Tim roared in annoyance, and then took up a bottle of beer to drink.
Maia quickly stepped forward, grabbed Tim's hand, and whispered, "Stop drinking. Go back with me."
"You can go back if you want. Don't stop me from drinking."
Tim pushed Maia aside.
He was really heartbroken.
He had kept Nicole in his heart for so long. It was really difficult to let her go. He knew clearly that he
couldn't get her love, but he had the fantasy that one day he could replace Samuel.
His heart became broken again and again for he was rejected for so many times. He thought that he
was strong enough to face it. But he was wrong. The solid armor that protected his heart had cracks.
The pain crept through these cracks in the armor and went deep into his bones. It was like sulfuric acid
that melted his bones. Though he was in great pain, he couldn't shout for help.
He had paid great effort to bear this pain.
He really wanted to give up. But when he thought that he couldn't see Nicole anymore, he hesitated.
The pain that he couldn't see Nicole was even more unbearable than that he couldn't get her love.
Tim almost couldn't bear it.
His embarrassment was wholly showed in front of this country woman. For Tim, who was always
predominant, this was really too unacceptable. However, he could not do anything to Maia.
This pain could only be resolved by alcohol.
Maybe everything tormented him would become nothing in drinking.
Tim grabbed another bottle and swilled the beer.
Maia felt sad for him.
She understood Tim's feeling because she had also crushed on someone. He made her think of that
experience.
She was a country girl, but Tim was so competent and smart. How could he be in such an
embarrassing situation?
Maia didn't stop Tim drinking but looked at him. Perhaps, he would go back with her when he was
drunk.
When sun rose, another beautiful day would come.
Looking at Tim drinking, Alexia revealed a meaningful smile and quietly left.
Tim drank all the bottles of beer on the table, but he didn't drink his fill. So, he ordered a few more
bottles.
Maia stayed by his side, neither drinking nor stopping him. He felt a little more relaxed.
Tim didn't feel lonely though Maia was not saying anything.
Tim didn't know how much he had drunk. Anyway, Tim was tipsy. Although he didn't lose all his
consciousness, he began to speak his mind.
"Tell me, Maia, am I not good looking?"
"No."
Maia knew that he was drunk, so she could only try to comfort him. To be honest, Tim was handsome.
Tim smiled and said, "You have a good taste. Why does Nicole love Samuel? Like Samuel, I was also a
solider. He can fight on the battlefield. But I can do that, too. He is a capable businessman, and I also
have talent in business. I'm on par with him. Why did she choose Samuel instead of me?"
Maia didn't know how to answer Tim's question.
She didn't know what happened between them. But she was still stunned when she heard what Tim
said.
She was surprised that Tim was so outstanding.
And then, Tim continued, "You don't know that the Greens often come to conflict. Every Green will play
dirty trick. But my family is totally different from the Greens. We are pure in mind. And I am the only
heir. I have the absolute authority in my family. Oh, no. My damn father has an illegitimate son. But it
won't make any difference. That illegitimate son won't be admitted as a Louis. I'm from a decent and
rich family. My family had been doing business for generations. If she chose me, she would have a very
happy life. If anyone dares to say no to her, I will kill them. But why did she marry to Samuel? Why did
she want to be his wife? You know clearly her suffering due to her choice."
"Nicole's appearance also changed. She was much better looking than she is now. She was disfigured
because of Samuel. So, she had plastic surgery. Even if she would die, and became mute, she never
changes her heart to Samuel. I don't know why. Am I inferior to Samuel? I met Nicole before Samuel!
Why did she choose Samuel? "
Tim tightly grabbed Maia's arm. His eyes were red, tears bright in his eyes.
It hurt Maia to see Tim sorrowful.
"Tim, not every encounter will have a good ending. Love doesn't come in order of arrival. Samuel is her
destined one. Fate decreed that you are not meant to be together."
"Fate? That's really nonsense! Only you believe this. I won't give up even if my hair turns gray. As long
as I live longer than Samuel, I will have a chance, right?"
Tim smiled bitterly. Maia's heart ached with pity for him.
"Is it worthy of waiting for her? It's just wasting your time."
Tim was stunned.
He looked into the distance and whispered, "You don't understand. Without Nicole, I won't be there.
She gave me life. I will wait for her."
Then, he got down and fell asleep.
Maia got a great shock.
He would wait for Nicole in the rest of his life.
How could he be rejected even he was so persistent in loving her?
'If I could have been as persistent as Tim at that time to my crush, will I get my happiness?'
Maia didn't know why she had this thought.
She looked at Tim and shook her head. 'Oh, I'm so sentimental.'
Maia got up to help Tim up, but felt someone behind pushed her.
She lost balance and lay on Tim.
"Who?"
Before Maia could figure out what happened, her long hair was grabbed. She curled up for the pain.
Alexia grabbed Maia's hair with a sullen face and said, "Tim is mine. I've told you, Maia. You'd better
not meddle in this. Just pretend you don't see anything. Otherwise, I will make you die without knowing
the reason."
Maia looked at Alexia in front of her and said angrily, "It's you again! Alexia, you are the most arrogant
woman I known. Since you like Tim, you should confess your love to him in a right way. Why are you
doing now?"
"You don't deserve to say this! Who are you? Tim must belong to me tonight! No one can stop me from
becoming Tim's woman, including you! If you dare to continue, I will make you regret it!"
She kicked Maia away.
Maia felt the extreme pain in her scalp, as if it would remove.
She saw Alexia waving her hand. Two men came out to hold Tim. Alexia ordered them to go to that
back room.
Maia became anxious.
She quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Nicole before chasing after Alexia.
"Put Tim down, Alexia!"
She grabbed Alexia's hair tightly.
"Ah! You are such a bitch!"
Alexia screamed in pain.
"Are you idiots? This woman is attacking me! Come to help me! She should pay this with her life! "
Alexia screamed at those two men who carried Tim.
The man looked at each other, then put down Tim and strode towards Maia.
Maia didn't know how to defend herself. When she saw those two men coming towards her, she let go
of Alexia and sprang at Tim, hugging him tightly.
"Even if you kill me, I won't let you take Tim away."
Alexia was mad with anger.
"You hassle me! I'll kill you!"
She stepped on Maia's stomach with her high-heel shoes.
Maia snorted in pain. She broke out in a cold sweat, clenched her teeth tightly and hugged the
unconscious Tim.
She must hold on. Nicole would come to help her.
Not long after Nicole got on the car, she asked Gabrielle to stop the car. She sat on the roadside.
Nicole seemed to have something weighing heavily on her mind.
Gabrielle knew that she felt sorry for Tim.
Tim's love to her was the origin of her pressure.
Tim was really a sticker. For helping Nicole, he even put his life in risk for many times. How Nicole
could be ruthless to him?
"If you really feel worried about him, we can go back to see him. I guess Tim is pissed."
Nicole shook her head and refused to go back.
"Maia is with him. He will be fine. I just feel that I owe him too much. I really hope that he can find his
other half. I feel so sorry that I hurt him."
Nicole gestured.
"Since you have figured it out, what do you agonize over?"
"I'm not agonized. I just feel a little sad. Sit here with me for a while."
Nicole pulled Gabrielle to sit by the roadside. They switched to talked about Samuel.
"Neil said that there was some hope that Samuel could be cured. When he finishes his work on hand,
he will come with us. Nothing can be happier than Samuel being cured."
Nicole nodded.
"Oh, if Samuel doesn't wake up, I'm afraid that I can't take it."
Nicole was really concerned about Samuel.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Nicole read the message, and became anxious.
"Go back now! Tim is in trouble."
Nicole and Gabrielle quickly got on the car, feeling worried.
Maia actually asked Nicole to help her, which meant that Tim became unable to protect him and Maia.
They had just been away for a while. What happened?
Nicole tried to calm down but was still worried about them. The car darted to that club.
When she arrived at the club, what she saw irritated her.
