Peering at Nicole's flickering eyes, Samuel rubbed her nose with a smile.
"Why do I disagree? My wife wanna portray me. However busy I am, I'll squeeze time."
"You seem to have eaten honey. Your words are so sweet. I can't bear you."
Nicole shook her head, quickly turned around and left.
But Samuel caught her hands, "If you can't bear me, who do you wanna bear?"
"No idea. Maybe someone dull."
"Dare you!"
"Wait and see."
Saying so, she turned around and ran away.
"Don't run if you dare!"
Samuel chased her.
Nicole ran while smiling, "I'm not a man and of course I don't dare."
"Stop!"
"It depends on whether you can catch me."
They ran on the road like two kids.
Their laughter swirled in the sky, so pure, so clean, so relaxing.
They didn't care about others' gossip and played happily until Nicole felt tired. She collapsed over the
parterre, but she was pulled up by Samuel.
"What? I'm too tired."
Nicole acted like a spoiled child.
Samuel said nothing but took off his coat and spread it on the steps of the parterre.
"Now take a seat. You're sweating. Don't catch a cold."
Looking at the coat on the ground, Nicole smiled, "The coat cost much."
"You miser. Nothing is more expensive than your health. I earn money for you and kids. Besides, you
told Jase that we had nothing but money. So the coat was only a small piece of cake. From tomorrow,
my darling will drink a bottle of yogurt and throw away another bottle."
Samuel behaved like a new money, which made Nicole burst into laughter. She asked, "Why will I drink
a bottle and throw away a bottle?"
"It's stylish! We've enough money to waste."
"Samuel, you've lost your mind."
Nicole poked his head.
But Samuel didn't care about it. He sat next to her, "I have such a smart and pretty wife. How can I
keep rational?"
"Stop. Please don't say so. You're not suitable to be a new money. Mr. Green, please keep cold and
elegant, thank you."
Nicole was amused by Samuel and she couldn't straighten up her waist.
"I'm glad to be your joke. Lady, I have a piece of bad news for you."
Samuel said seriously.
"Please, I'm strong enough to bear it."
Nicole leaned against Samuel's shoulder, yawning.
She lacked exercise, feeling exhausted.
Samuel allowed her to lean against him in a comfortable position and then said, "Our car is about 5
kilometres away from us. What shall we do? Shall we walk back?"
"What?"
Nicole was a bit depressed.
"I'm so tired! I don't wanna walk."
"What if I carry you?"
Samuel's suggestion made her eyes light up.
"Are you able to carry me? I'm heavy these days."
"Even though you became a pig, I could carry you."
"Samuel, you're a pig."
Nicole immediately became angry.
But Samuel smiled, "Yes, I'm the pig and I'm carrying my wife."
Nicole thought his words sounded like he was speaking ill of her.
"Hum, crouch. I wanna get on your back."
She patted on his back.
Samuel collaborated with her and crouched.
Watching Samuel's wide and thick back, Nicole had a sense of security.
"Get on! Why are you in a trance?"
"I'm wondering how to get onto your back."
She wouldn't tell him she was attracted to his back.
Samuel carried Nicole and slowly walked backwards.
Nicole lay on his back, feeling his unique scent and enjoying it very much.
"Samuel, I'm tired."
"Have a sleep. I'll wake you up when we arrive home."
Samuel spoiled her.
Nicole took his advice. She lay on his shoulder and soon fell into sleep.
Hearing her even breath, Samuel hooked his lips.
He really hoped the road was endless so he could always carry her till the end of the day and end of
the world.
When Samuel sent Nicole to the Don family, Jason and mark hadn't gone to bed yet.
Seeing Nicole in a sound sleep, they said, "She hung out with you. I was wondering where she had
gone. She told us nothing. Quite mysterious. We were afraid she met something bad. She didn't go
home until now. A grown girl can't be kept at home!"
Samuel smiled and carried her to her room directly.
Leaning against the door, Mark watched Samuel take off her shoes carefully, cover her with the quilt
and leave the room quietly. Then Mark said,
"Sleep here tonight. It's really tiring for you to travel back and forth."
"No, thank you. I need to go to the company. Jacob is waiting there."
Samuel said bye to Mark and Jason and then left.
Nicole had a sound sleep.
When she woke up, it was the next morning.
Staring at the familiar as well as strange room, she was stunned.
Didn't she hang out with Samuel?
When did she come back?
How did she get onto the bed?
She didn't remember anything.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she went downstairs. She saw Mark making the
breakfast, so she said hello to him.
"Uncle Mark, morning."
"Morning. You remembered to go home? You told me to leave the meal for your, but later you were
carried home by Samuel Green. And you were in a sleep like a pig."
Mark's teasing made Nicole more or less shy.
"Sorry, I forgot it. Yesterday I had dinner with Samuel outside."
"If you ate outside, why didn't you tell me on the phone? However old you are, you are still like a kid."
Mark's nagging made Nicole feel warm.
She stuck her tongue out to him and went to watch the kids.
Jason pushed the wheelchair inside.
"You like nagging. Aren't you afraid that your nagging drives Nicole away?"
"How could it happen? You don't know last night when I saw Samuel carry her home, the idea suddenly
came into my mind that if brother was still alive, perhaps Nicole would have been carried on brother's
back since she was young. However, she has never seen brother, let alone being carried by him."
Mark's words made Jason sigh.
"Some regret can never be made up for. I only hope she can be safe and healthy. We'll try our best to
ensure her happiness."
"Exactly. Nicole is brother's only kid. We must ensure her safety. Luckily it was Samuel who she hung
out last night. The Seapolis City is not safe these days. I'm really afraid that she doesn't know the
seriousness of Tim's issue."
Mark's words stunned Jason who wanted to say something but finally kept silent.
After looking after the kids, Nicole went back to the dining hall. Mark had finished cooking breakfast.
Frankly speaking, Mark was good at cooking.
Zoe Bush soon played well with Mark.
Joseph ate quietly and picked some food to Nicole from time to time.
"Thank you, Joseph."
Nicole was especially happy.
Zoe didn't want to lag behind. She picked up a chicken leg to Nicole.
"Mum, why did you go out yesterday? The big chicken leg is for you to replenish your strength."
"Thank you, Zoe. But I don't wanna it right now. You eat it."
"Eat it, mum. Uncle Jason has cooked me cola chicken wings, quite tasty."
In face of delicious food, Zoe was a good child.
The whole family laughed.
Nicole stayed in the Don family.
Lucas Green settled down and called Nicole, telling her that he would be home several days later and
asking her not to worry about him.
Zoe went to school with Joseph in the arrangement of the Don family.
Nicole started her studying time.
In the daytime she read books and conceiving the designing draft in the room. At night, she video
called Samuel and then started drawing. Sometimes she slept late and Mark forced her to take a rest.
Soon half a month passed.
Samuel carried out his task with drive and sweep in the Green family, bringing fear to everyone in the
company. Many staff who had worked in the Green family for years left the Eternal Group. Nobody
could tell the reasons.
Those staff who left the Green family generally left the Seapolis City the next day silently.
During the half of the month, Nicole conceived the sketch design, but it was not perfect.
During this period, Martha invited Nicole to her home more than once, but she was refused by Nicole.
Such kind of life repeated until the day when Tim called her.
"What's up?"
Picking up Tim's call, Nicole was confused.
Tim said in a low voice, "Maia escaped."
Nicole paused.
During the half of the month, she didn't inquire about Maia.
Since Maia was given to Tim, it was his business. It was inappropriate for her to take a hand in Maia
and Tim's business.
And every time Martha invited her, she never mentioned Maia. Hence, Nicole forgot about Maia at all.
Now when she heard Tim mentioning Maia, she was a bit absent minded.
"What do you mean by escaping?"
"It's the word ‘escape'. Nicole, perhaps I'm doomed to be a bachelor."
Tim mocked himself, making Nicole feel uncomfortable.
"Perhaps your true love is on the way. Don't think too much. Now that the feud between you and Maia
can't be solved, let her go. What is yours is always yours. You can't keep what doesn't belong to you."
"You might be right. I won't disturb you. I call you just for a complaint and warning. Maia is narrow-
minded. She might misunderstand you. I'm afraid she'll do something bad to you. Be cautious."
Hearing his words, Nicole replied, "I know it. Now worries. I'm in the Don family. I'll be alright."
Saying so, Nicole heard "Bang" outside the window. Something seemed to drop onto the
ground.
