Nicole and Samuel walked around the city and found themselves tailing by a few men. They looked at
each other and smiled.
"Do you think Jase is afraid of your power? Why does he have the nerve to have his men follow us?"
Nicole asked casually.
Samuel said coldly, "He is tired of spending peaceful days.
As he spoke, Samuel picked up a durian and threw it at the person behind him.
"Ouch!"
The man howled and fell down immediately.
Samuel said coldly, "Go back and tell Jase. Don't blame me for being impolite to him if he keeps having
his men follow me."
With that, Samuel turned around and saw that Nicole give money to the owner of the fruit stall.
"Boss, I'm sorry. We really can't bear it anymore. Can I give you 200 to buy that durian? Is that
enough?"
Originally, the owner of the fruit stall was a little angry, but he calmed down since Nicole offered
compensation with a good attitude.
"Too much. You don't need to give me two hundred. That durian isn't worth that much."
"It's alright. Take it. Can we buy some snake fruit and mangosteen?"
Nicole looked approachable, which delighted the owner.
"Of course, you can choose what you like."
"Let me do it."
Samuel took a step forward, but Nicole slapped his hand away and said, "Do you know how to pick the
fruit?"
He was shocked.
Samuel really didn't know how to pick fruit.
Seeing him like this, the owner smiled and said, "I can teach you."
Nicole originally wanted to decline. However, seeing that Samuel was listening to the boss with a
serious look and picking the fruit, she did not do so.
Samuel didn't play the role of the president of the Eternal Group at this time, and he was like a family
man.
Nicole felt very warm and happy for that moment.
"Boss, how much is this?"
Just as Nicole was satisfied with Samuel, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
She suddenly looked back and saw a familiar figure walking towards the alley at the side.
Nicole quickly followed.
"Thank you. Nicole, pay the money."
Samuel picked up the fruit and turned around, only to find that Nicole had disappeared.
"Nicole? Nicole!"
Samuel immediately became nervous.
The owner said hurriedly, "Sir, I saw your wife follow a woman into that alley."
"Thank you."
Samuel put down the fruit and quickly ran towards the alley pointed by the owner.
He caught up with Nicole at the corner.
"Nicole, what are you doing? Why did you run away without saying a word? Do you know that I will be
worried? Do you really think you're a battle goddess?"
Samuel's heart pounded.
The moment when Nicole was out of sight, Samuel was on the verge of going crazy.
However, Nicole grabbed his hand and said, "I may have seen Morgan just now."
"Who?"
"Morgan."
Nicole's words surprised Samuel for a moment before he realized who Nicole was referring to.
"You're not mistaken, are you?"
"No, that must be her. But why is she here?"
Nicole thought about Laurence's panicked look, Allen's doubts, and Morgan's disappearance for no
reason.
Adela's death was still a mystery.
Back then, in order to save Samuel, Nicole desperately searched for Morgan. Sadly, she didn't find
Morgan. Now Samuel had fully recovered, but Morgan appeared.
"Where is she?"
Samuel looked at the empty alley and asked in confusion.
Nicole shook her head and said, "I lost her. I came a few steps late and she disappeared. However, I
can guarantee that she lives in this alley."
"You don't want to look for her from door to door, do you?"
Seeing Nicole's look, Samuel couldn't help but ask.
"Back then, you looked for her because you wanted her to treat me. I've recovered, so there is no need
to look for her anymore. Moreover, why she disappeared must have something to do with the Miller
family. We don't know what happened to the Miller family, but not many people can make Morgan hide
somewhere. Therefore, I hope you won't get involved. Nicole, I cannot bear losing you again. Do you
know that?"
Samuel knew that it was very selfish of him to say this. Perhaps Laurence had always wanted to find
Morgan and investigate the cause of Adela's death, but Samuel did not want to let Nicole take risks
because of others.
He had become very cautious and timid.
The only person he wanted to protect in his life was Nicole.
Nicole knew that Samuel felt worried and uneasy.
She suddenly felt that she might be too reckless.
Yeah.
Morgan was no longer important to them.
Regardless of why Morgan left the Miller family, disappeared and hid here, it was none of her business,
right?
Nicole held Samuel's hand, only to discover that his palms were covered in sweat.
"I promise you. I won't investigate it anymore. Let's go back, get the fruit and leave. But as Laurence's
friend, I need to tell him about where Morgan was. You don't have any opinion, right?"
"No."
Only when Samuel heard that Nicole decided not to chase after Morgan did he feel relieved.
Nicole followed Samuel and turned to leave.
However, Nicole didn't know that she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Samuel soon brought Nicole back to the fruit stall and said with a smile, "Boss, is our fruit still there?"
"Here you are."
The boss handed the fruit to Nicole and Samuel.
Nicole gave the money and then left with Samuel.
They strolled around for a while before going back to the Harper Town by air.
The ancestral hall here had been repaired, and the workers hired by Samuel had arrived.
When Nicole saw Trevin, she couldn't help but pause for a moment.
"Didn't you go back to school?"
"Yes, I told my mentor that I would take a holiday. After all, this is my hometown. My parents' ashes are
placed here. I want to watch them repair the ancestral hall, and renovate my old house myself. If Maia
comes back, we can have a house to live in."
Trevin said with a smile.
Trevin reminded Nicole of Maia.
She couldn't help but ask, "Trevin, do you know how your sister has been all these years?"
"She has been working hard. She cannot bear to spend money but gives the money that she has
earned to me. I wish she could think about herself. It would be great if she could find a boyfriend."
Trevin's words made Nicole ponder for a moment and she asked, "She may have had a boyfriend."
"It's impossible. If Maia finds a boyfriend, she will definitely tell me immediately. This is what we've
agreed."
"Perhaps she found a boyfriend but didn't had the time to tell you?"
"Mrs. Green, you don't know my sister. I am her only sibling. If she really finds a boyfriend, she will
definitely tell me first."
Trevin smiled and took out his phone. "If you don't believe me, let me ask her."
Before Nicole could stop him, Trevin called Maia.
"Sister, do you have a boyfriend?"
Maia was shocked for a moment. She took her phone and walked outside. She asked softly, "Why do
you ask that? Did you hear some rumors?"
"No, I'm just curious. You're not young anymore. If you don't find a boyfriend, you'll become an old lady.
I'll have to serve you then. It's not worth it."
"You brat, you want to push me away? Let me tell you, even if I don't find a boyfriend anymore, you
have to take care of me for the rest of my life, okay?"
Maia said in a relaxed tone.
"Alright, I'll take care of you. So, you don't have a boyfriend right now, do you?"
Hearing Trevin's question, Maia glanced at the ward and whispered, "No, I don't have a boyfriend. If I
do, I will definitely tell you first."
When Nicole heard Maia's reply, her eyes darkened instantly.
Maia was in love with Tim, but why did she hide it from Trevin?
Trevin didn't know that. He smiled and said, "Maia, get a boyfriend, as long as he treats you well."
"Don't worry about me. I heard that some of your schoolmates liked you. Did you take a fancy to one of
them? If so, tell me. I will prepare the money for your wedding."
"Maia, don't worry about me. I will earn money to hold wedding ceremony by myself. Just take good
care of yourself. Well, why don't we meet each other? It's been a long time since I saw you."
Hearing that, Maia was a bit nervous.
"No need. I don't want to occupy your learning time. Let's talk about it after you graduate."
"Maia, I can ask for leave. It's been a long time since I saw you. I miss you."
"I miss you too, but it's inconvenient lately. I'm on a business trip, so I can't go back to see you."
Maia said quickly.
Trevin said casually, "It doesn't matter. I can go find you."
"Trevin, I am working instead of traveling. Don't come over. If my colleagues see you, they may talk
about it behind my back. Listen to me. Study hard. When I finish my work, I'll go find you."
"Alright then."
Trevin was still talking to Maia, but Nicole didn't want to listen anymore.
Why didn't Maia tell Trevin that Tim was her boyfriend?
Did Tim make Maia lose face?
Tim had money, power, and was handsome, but why didn't Maia let Trevin see Tim?
Nicole was very worried.
Samuel pulled Nicole over and whispered, "Trust Tim. He can handle it."
"Feelings can affect people's judgment."
"Tim won't be affected. He might be injured, but he wouldn't let himself fall into abyss. After all, Tim
knew that Maia was approaching him with ulterior motives. Although Tim can't help but fall in love with
Maia, I believe that Tim has taken precautions. Nicole, we can do nothing else. We've done what we
can do. That's enough."
Samuel knew that Nicole was worried about Tim.
Judging from Trevin's conversation with Maia, Maia's motives were doubtful. Tim had known that. It
was up to himself to handle it.
Nicole suddenly felt a little depressed.
"I really hope that Tim won't get hurt."
