Samuel was afraid of disturbing Nicole, so he hurriedly got up and walked out.
As soon as he went downstairs, Samuel saw Zac and Petty coming down as well. It seemed that they
also wanted to go out and see who it was.
Samuel whispered, "You can go back and rest. I'll just go out and take a look."
"Samuel, it's better for me to do that."
"No, I will go. It should be Jacob."
Hearing Samuel's words, Petty pulled Zac into the room.
Jacob, as Samuel's special assistant, had worked for Samuel for many years. There shouldn't be any
problems.
Seeing Petty and Zac go back, Samuel stood up and walked out.
Outside the door, it was indeed Jacob, but his condition wasn't very good.
"What's the matter?"
Samuel rarely saw that Jacob was as upset as he was now, not even when Olivia wanted to break with
him.
Jacob loosened his tie, seemingly a little bit uncomfortable.
"It's fine. I'm just a little bored. I come over and want to have a drink with you."
His bloodshot eyes showed that he hadn't had a good sleep recently.
Samuel frowned slightly and whispered, "You didn't drink before."
"I just suddenly want to have a drink. I don't have any friends, so I want to ask you to drink with me. If
you're busy, forget it. I'll go to the bar myself."
"Come with me to the cellar. My wine is much better than the wine in the bar."
Samuel patted Jacob on the shoulder.
Jacob nodded.
The two of them went to the cellar. For fear that Nicole could not find him when she got up, Samuel told
the servant where he went.
Once they arrived at the cellar, Jacob picked up one bottle wine and just drank it.
Samuel did not feel pity for his wine and allowed Jacob to do whatever he wanted.
Jacob was not a man who would do things without consideration. In fact, for so many years, Jacob had
always been strict with himself and even scrupulously abided by his duty, without overstepping. Even
though Samuel said that they were brothers, Jacob still couldn't relax. In Jacob's heart, Samuel was his
benefactor and boss. Although Samuel was also a friend, he still felt inferior in front of Samuel.
But now, Jacob was like a child who had been stimulated and had forgotten all these things, which
rarely happened. Now that it had happened, there must be something happened that Jacob couldn't
bear.
Jacob had developed his business quite well under the support of Samuel these years. Even if he left
the Green family, he was still a person that many people in the upper class looked up to. Now, his
depression was most likely related to Olivia.
However, since Jacob didn't want to say anything, Samuel didn't ask. He would talk about it when
Jacob needed him.
Only taking a bottle of red wine, Samuel took a sip. He didn't drink much, but Jacob drank too fast as if
it was water. Jacob finished one bottle of wine by only a few gulps.
In this way, he would probably be drunk in a while.
Samuel picked up the phone and asked the servant to prepare a room for him.
Sure enough, Jacob got drunk in half an hour.
He didn't vomit or rave. After getting drunk, he fell asleep. Apart from his red face and the smell of
alcohol, no other signs could tell that he was drunk.
Samuel carried him into the guest room on his own and instructed servants to take care of him before
returning to the bedroom.
Nicole had already woken up. She was working on her computer and revising the draft. When she saw
Samuel coming in, she smelled alcohol.
"You drank too?"
"Yes, I drank a little."
Samuel knew about Nicole's situation and smiled, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Alright."
Nicole felt that she was a bit pretentious and couldn't smell any irritating smell when she got pregnant
this time.
While Samuel was taking a shower, Nicole felt empty in mind.
That Jacob came to drink with Samuel was really unexpected, and even somewhat inconceivable.
What exactly happened?
Could it be related to Olivia?
She wanted to call Olivia, but she gave up.
Everyone had his or her own way of life and privacy. Olivia didn't say anything, so she didn't ask. Nicole
believed that if Olivia could solve it herself, she would definitely solve it by herself.
Nicole felt apprehensive and her eyes were full of worries.
When Samuel came out, he saw Nicole's worried appearance and couldn't help but hug her from
behind.
"Worried about Olivia?"
"Yes, aren't you worried about Jacob?"
Nicole did not deny it and leaned against the warm chest behind her.
Samuel immediately went up to bed and held her in his arms. He whispered, "They are both adults. No
matter what happens, they can solve it by themselves. Jacob is not a reckless man. Even if he hurts
himself, he won't hurt Olivia. Don't worry about that."
"I know, so I didn't ask, nor did I interfere. I just feel strange. Didn't Harper come back? Logically, there
shouldn't be any problems between Olivia and Jacob."
"Yes, but Olivia's father is not in a good condition."
Samuel originally wanted to hide it from Nicole, but now he wouldn't want to get Nicole worried.
"What do you mean?"
Nicole had always wanted to visit the Kent family, but she didn't expect to hear that.
Samuel sighed and said, "After he was captured, Harper wanted to escape, but he was beaten and got
injuries in the head."
Nicole's eyes suddenly widened.
"Is it serious?"
"Yes."
Samuel hesitated for a moment and felt that Nicole's hands were tightly gripping his arm. He knew that
she was worried and anxious.
He sighed, "When I brought Harper back, he was mentally despaired. He keeps repeating the names of
Mary and Olivia, and doesn't seem able to think straight."
Nicole's heart suddenly ached.
"Unable to think straight? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Nicole was a little annoyed.
Samuel hugged her tightly and said softly, "I'm not sure either. The situation was too complex at that
time. I was worried about you, so I didn't have time to take care of the Kents. You must know that Olivia
is very important to you, and you are even more important to me. At that time, you and your mother
were taken away by Elvis. I didn't know whether you were safe or not, and I didn't even know where
you were. I really didn't have any energy and time to help the Kents. Besides, Jacob would come to
help. I've always thought that Jacob was able to handle these matters and that was why I didn't ask.
But Jacob is like this now, it seems like there are some problems with the Kents. Don't worry. It's very
late today. I'll go and take a look tomorrow. If I can help, I'll definitely help. "
Nicole knew that she was actually a little demanding.
She whispered, "Let me go. There are some things that Olivia won't tell you. It's also my fault that I
don't have time to visit Olivia, since I've been trapped by Elvis these past few days. "
"You've worked hard enough. Grandpa wants to set up a grave for Mom tomorrow. There will be a
funeral. It doesn't seem good if you don't go."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole felt aggrieved.
"I'll go to the Kent's early in the morning to take a look. Then I'll be back by noon."
"I'll go with you."
"You still have a lot of things to do. Ask Laurence to go with me."
"It seems that Laurence doesn't have time. He's gone to the hospital."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole was stunned.
"Is he injured?"
"No, it's that nurse of yours. He went over to take care of her."
Hearing this, Nicole paused for a moment, but she instantly understood.
"Is Laurence in love with her?"
"That's not your business. You always care almost all people's matters. Aren't you too tired? Just have
a good rest, and I'll send you over tomorrow morning and ask Ernesto to protect you. Ernesto is well-
versed in Kungfu. That he protects you will set my mind at rest. I'm going to the police station tomorrow
morning."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole paused for a moment and asked, "Do you want to see Elvis?"
"There's something I'm not sure about, so I want to ask him."
Nicole nodded.
Seeing Nicole's draft, Samuel smiled, "After so many things, you still want to participate in the design
competition, right?"
"Of course, this is my dream. I have to realize my dream no matter what."
"I like it that you make it a point to keep on going."
Samuel touched Nicole's head with a gentle smile.
Nicole simply fell into his arms and whispered, "A man must have a dream in his life. No matter how
hard and tiring life is, don't give up. Otherwise, is there any difference between a man and a livestock?"
"You can rest assured and be my wife. The property of the Green family is enough for you to live a
decent life for two lifetimes."
"The property of the Green family is yours, not mine. I'm so young now. If I just idle the days away, the
precious life that the heavens have given me will be wasted!"
Samuel quite agreed with Nicole's words and smiled.
"No matter what you do, I will support you. However, you must bear one thing in mind that you should
take good care of yourself and don't be too tired. This is the only request I have for you."
"Okay."
Nicole felt warm in her heart.
After experiencing so many things together, even if there was no sweet talk, there would still be
spontaneous love arising from their hearts.
"Go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a busy day."
"Yes."
Nicole fell asleep in Samuel's arms.
As soon as the sky lit up, Samuel woke up.
Seeing that Nicole sleeping soundly, he couldn't bear to disturb her. He gently pulled out his arms and
covered her with the blanket before heading to the kitchen.
Not long after Lillian got up, she was about to cook breakfast when she saw Samuel coming down.
"Why are you up so early?"
"Make some food for Nicole."
Samuel smiled.
Lillian was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "I'll do it. How can you cook in the kitchen?"
However, Samuel smiled, "It's a pleasure to cook for your beloved. Lillian, don't deprive me of this
pleasure. Besides, you are new here and don't know what Nicole likes very well. Let me do it."
As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and entered the kitchen.
Seeing Samuel's skilled gestures, Lillian was stunned, and even shocked.
She never knew that a man would do such a thing for a woman. Now that she recalled her life, she
suddenly felt that her life was in vain.
However, Samuel ignored Lillian's thoughts and carefully prepared Nicole's meal before leaving the
kitchen.
Lillian wanted to say something to him, but his phone rang.
After he saw the caller ID on his phone, Samuel's expression changed slightly. Then, he quickly walked
out of the Green's without even having time to wear his coat.
