It was Maia.
Why did Maia call her instead of Tim? What did it mean?
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Nicole's expression was a little strange, Jason hurriedly asked.
"It's fine. I need to go out now. Please help me take care of my child for a while."
After Nicole finished speaking, she put the phone into her pocket.
"The meal is almost ready. Where are you going?"
Mark walked out with a plate in his hand.
Nicole took a piece of food from the plate. It tasted pretty good.
"I have some personal matters to attend to. Help me take care of the child."
"Wash your hands!"
Mark slapped Nicole's hand off with a face full of disapproval.
"Look at you. You're a mother. You should set a good example for your child. Besides, why do you have
to go out now? Can't you leave after the meal? I'll drive you there after we have meal together."
Jason agreed with Mark.
Nicole said, "Come on. I'm an adult now. Can't I have some private space? I'll only go out for a while.
Leave me some food and I'll come back to eat later."
"Do you have to go?"
Mark intuitively didn't want Nicole to leave.
Nicole waved her hand and said, "I said it was personal. Don't ask anymore. I'm leaving. Remember to
leave me some food."
Then she quickly ran out. After walking out of the door, the smile on her face disappeared.
It must be about Tim and Martha.
Nicole knew that she did not have many social connections to deal with this matter, but she had to help
them. After all, Tim was special to her. Moreover, Tim nearly sacrificed his own life to save Samuel and
her.
After driving out of the Don’s, Nicole stopped at the side and called Maia.
"Speak."
Maia was unpleased to hear Nicole's commanding tone.
"Lady Bush, you are not very friendly to me, are you?"
"How friendly do I have to be? Maia, I thought you were a good woman, and I introduced you to Tim.
Not only did you hurt Tim's heart, you even took his mother away. You called me to make requests,
right? But did you dial the wrong number? You should have called Tim, not me."
Nicole said indifferently.
Maia bit her lower lip and said hatefully, "Don't pretend to be a good person in front of me. You are not
better than me. Tim has done so much for you. What have you done for Tim?"
"Are you defending Tim now? But who are you to condemn me?"
"Nicole, enough. I will send you an address. If you want to save Tim's mother, come to the address by
yourself. If I find out that you have brought someone else, I will die with you. Believe me, I am definitely
not joking with you. You especially shouldn't tell Tim about this."
Then, Maia hung up the phone.
Nicole smiled.
Why did Maia think she would follow her words? She wouldn't be so easily threatened.
Nicole always felt that Maia had some feelings for Tim, and she didn't believe that Maia would harm
Tim's mother, so....
Maia sent the address over.
Nicole directly sent this address to Tim and Samuel without thinking.
"Don't rush over. I can handle it by myself. Don't worry too much about me."
After sending messages to Tim and Samuel, Nicole followed the address given by Maia.
Maia chose a high-end club. Nicole didn't believe that Maia would book such a expensive club herself.
Maybe the people behind her were very rich.
Nicole thought about who had a grudge against Tim and his mother. The only person she could think of
was Jacob's mother.
"Samuel, find out where Jacob's mother is right now. See if your people can get close to her."
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel frowned.
"Can you really handle it by yourself? I will come to help you."
Samuel was so worried about Nicole.
She told him that she would leave these matters to him before. Why was she going to see Maia alone
now?
Nicole didn't really have a choice.
She really felt that she couldn't help Tim and wanted to leave it to Samuel. But now that Maia asked her
to go alone, what else could she do?
Nicole quickly replied to Samuel, "You really don't need to worry about me. I think Tim will be here
soon. Maia called me and told me to go there alone. She must have done some research. I've already
asked Petty and the others to protect me. Don't worry about my safety. Besides, I'm your disciple. I will
be fine."
"Make sure of your own safety. I don't want you to get hurt."
"I know."
After Nicole hung up the phone, she contacted Petty and then entered the club.
There was a receptionist at the entrance of the club. When he saw Nicole, he hurriedly came forward to
greet her.
"Mrs. Green, this way, please."
Nicole paused for a moment.
The receptionist was able to recognize her immediately and directly led her to the private room. It
indicated something.
Maia was either a VIP here or had something to do with the owner.
Nicole quickly sent a message to Tim.
"Find out who owns this club? I think the owner should have some connection with Maia."
Tim was on his way here. After seeing Nicole's message, he quickly started investigation.
Nicole was brought into a private room by the receptionist.
Maia sat inside.
She was holding a glass of red wine in her hand. The wine swayed in the glass. Her posture was very
professional. Perhaps Maia had lived in a superior environment since childhood. Maybe she wasn't as
diligent and honest as Nicole had thought.
"Where's Martha?"
Nicole looked around the private room and didn't see anyone else.
Maia closed the door and locked it.
"Sit down. Let's have a talk first."
"I have nothing to talk to you. Maia, you should know that the person Tim cares about the most is his
mother. You would only push Tim away by doing this. I don't believe that you don't have any feelings for
him at all."
"So? Are you here to persuade me or do you really think me and him can get back together? Nicole,
you're too naïve. Sometimes, I really wonder how you grew up."
Maia smiled mockingly. Then she sat down and poured a glass of red wine for Nicole.
"Try it. They say that it's Chateau Lafite 1982 and it tastes very nice. But I think it's just alright."
Maia smiled faintly. At the moment, she looked like the nice girl that Nicole knew from before.
Nicole sat opposite her and did not look at the glass in front of her. She said coldly, "What kind of trick
are you playing?"
"I just want to chat with you, can't I?"
Maia smiled, but Nicole still saw a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"We can chat at any time. Please send Auntie Martha back first."
"What if I say no?"
Maia poured the wine into her mouth and swallowed it abruptly.
"Nice! It's so satisfying to drink red wine like this, but they told me that I have to sip it. I can never get
used to it"
Hearing Maia's specious words, Nicole stood up and walked towards the door.
"You can leave. But if you leave, I will immediately have someone kill Martha. Anyway, me and Tim can
never be together, and I don't mind him hating me a bit more. Perhaps it would be nice to make him
hate me for the rest of his life."
Maia said slowly. But Nicole did not have the courage to leave.
She looked at Maia, wanting to tell if she was joking, but she could only see madness and recklessness
in Maia's eyes.
Maia was crazy!
"Maia, calm down. You and Tim haven't reached that point yet. I don't know what happened between
you two, but I think Tim still cares about you. You should know that once he falls in love, he won't easily
give up."
"Yeah, sometimes I feel really lucky to have been with him, but I'm different from him. Nicole, I'm so
jealous of your relationship with Samuel that I want to destroy it."
Maia looked at Nicole and said word by word, "Tim has told me what happened to you. To be honest, I
sympathize with you and admire you. If it were me, I would have given up on this relationship long ago.
But you persisted. Now, Samuel dotes on you and cares for you so much. I want to have such a good
relationship with Tim. Unfortunately, I can't."
"You can if you really want to."
Hearing what Nicole said, Maia became a little emotional.
"I think I want Tim's love more than anyone else. I was a child who lacked love since childhood. My
parents died early. I brought up my younger brother. No one knows how I managed to grow up. Life
was tough. My younger brother has congenital heart disease and his disease became severe the year
after my parents' death. I didn't have the money for the heart transplant. You don't know how much I
wanted money at that time. I sold myself to save my brother. I sold myself, you know? In my life, I never
had the opportunity to choose my own path, do what I really want or be with the person I love. Why did
I meet you? Seeing you being so happy all day makes me want to ruin you and your relationship. I
prefer to see you staying in the hospital all day and watch over the unconscious Samuel."
Maia smiled as she spoke.
Nicole felt a little uncomfortable.
"Are you crazy? You're unhappy so you don't want to see others being happy. Maia, something's wrong
with you. You should go see a therapist. I can introduce one to you."
"Shut up! Nicole, you should go to the therapist, not me! You already have Samuel. Why can't you let
go of Tim? Do you know that Tim slapped me just because I said something bad about you? In his
heart, you are still more important than me!"
Maia's words instantly shocked Nicole.
