"What can't you tell me?"
Nicole sounded a little harsh.
Ernesto shook his head immediately and said, "I can tell you about it. But I'm afraid you'll get angry if I
do so."
"I'd be angrier if you don't tell me."
Nicole was amused by Ernesto's simplicity.
Ernesto scratched the back of his head with embarrassment and answered, "The Bushes'... No, your
house in the Bush family was sold by Melissa."
"Sold?"
Nicole was a little surprised.
Melissa was bold enough.
Nicole had made it clear that it was her house and asked Melissa to return it. She didn't expect Melissa
to make a move that fast.
"Who bought the house?"
Ernesto paused again at her inquiry.
"What? I can't afford to offend the buyer?"
"No, Mrs. Green. It was bought by Mrs. Bradford. Her husband, Mr. Bradford, is one of the four most
powerful masters in the Seapolis City."
Hearing Ernesto, Nicole went still.
She had known three of the four most powerful masters of the Seapolis City. One was her Samuel, the
second was commander Emory Cawker, and the third was Doctor Blair Hawk. The fourth was rarely
mentioned. It was said that Steven Bradford had company in the Seapolis City. But because of some
special reasons, Steven didn't live in the Seapolis City. His family was even more mysterious.
But now Nicole's house was bought by Mr. Bradford's wife?
"Can you get in touch with her?"
"It's not easy. It's said that she was the Greatest Global Scalpel, Ashley Shaw. There are tons of people
all over the world waiting in line for her to perform surgery for them. No one knows her personal
number, and she probably won't answer if we dial her business number. Even if she answers the call,
we'll have to wait until next year. Besides, I heard that they have completed the formalities. Melissa has
gotten paid already."
Nicole was dismayed at Ernesto's words.
They were so fast, and Ashley was so hard to contact. What should she do?
Wait!
Mrs. Bradford was Ashley, the Greatest Global Scalpel?
Nicole was thrilled all at once.
"Check this Mrs. Bradford, no, Dr. Ashley's personal number for me. I need to meet her."
Seeing Nicole's excited expression, Ernesto couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Green, I really can't do
anything about this. But you can have Mr. Green ask Mr. Bradford. He might know his wife's personal
number."
Hearing him, Nicole nodded quickly. But Samuel had only been asleep for a while. She shouldn't wake
him up.
"I see. I'll tell Samuel about this. You can go now. Right, register a movie and television company for
me. As for the capital, start from the lowest level."
Ernesto paused at her order, but he soon nodded and went to handle it.
Seeing Ernesto leave and remembering Booth's legs, Nicole was hopeful again.
It was said that the Greatest Global Scalpel had skillful hands and could even mend bones that were
disintegrated. Nicole had been looking for such a doctor, but she didn't expect to come across her in
this way.
If Ashley could operate on Booth, Nicole would be glad to give her the house for free.
With that in mind, Nicole was electrified.
But she didn't wake Samuel up.
Samuel had stayed awake for her all night. Now is the time he needed sleep the most. She had to wait
for Samuel to have enough rest.
While Nicole was waiting, she turned on her laptop, put away her drawings for the design competition,
and sent an email to the organizer to explain that she had decided to give up this time.
After all of that, Nicole felt sorry and sad. After all, she did like car design. But at the thought of what
Olivia and her brother had suffered because of her and the Green family, of how difficult it was for a
helpless woman like Olivia to make ends meet for her family, and of how twisted the entertainment
industry could be, Nicole resolutely closed the drawings.
Olivia needed her.
Without the design, Nicole still had the Green family, the Don family, and the Shaw family, but Olivia
only had Nicole.
If Nicole couldn't even protect Olivia, who else could give her hope?
Nicole figured it out and no longer felt regret.
There are always too many choices in life. As long as she believed it was worth it, it was a good choice.
Nicole put away her laptop in the cabinet of the study.
After doing all of this, Samuel woke up.
"Hey."
Nicole gave him a flattering smile.
Samuel rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at her before asking, "Anything I can do for you?"
"How do you know?"
"It's written all over your face."
Samuel said while washing his face.
Nicole felt she had no secret in front of Samuel.
"You're so boring. Can't you just pretend you don't know? Can't you just humor me!"
Samuel laughed.
"Are you a dog? You need me to tease you?"
"Samuel, I want to kick your ass."
Nicole was a little upset.
Sometimes Samuel doted on her so much, and sometimes he was so mean.
Seeing the look on Nicole's face, Samuel laughed even harder.
"If you kick my ass now, I won't dare to hit back. Speak up, what do you need your husband to help you
with?"
Nicole's ears were somewhat feverish when she heard the word "husband".
"Well, I want to ask you about someone."
Nicole coughed awkwardly before answering him.
"Who is it?"
"Mr. Bradford, one of the four masters of the Seapolis City."
Samuel narrowed his eyes the moment he heard her.
"You're interested in him?"
"What are you talking about? How can I be interested in him? I'm looking for his wife, Ashley's number,
her personal number. Can you get it?"
Nicole looked at Samuel with expectancy.
Samuel shook his head.
"No!"
"Why not? Aren’t you four masters close with each other? It's said that you're hand in glove with each
other. It's not that I'm not going to do anything to her. His wife just bought my house and I want to talk
to her."
Nicole said rapidly.
Samuel frowned.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but the outsiders have little idea about the relationship between
Steven and his wife. I'm telling you. Just listen and don't pass it around."
"What?"
Nicole's appetite for gossip was instantly aroused.
Samuel sighed. "Steven was forced by his wife to marry her. Their marriage is not what it looks like. In
fact, they live their own lives and neither of them interferes with the other. Generally, Ashley contacts
Steven first, and Steven doesn't save her number. So if you want me to ask for her number, I could only
pass on a message. As for whether you will have her number, I'm not sure. "
Hearing him, Nicole cried out in disappointment.
"How could there be such a couple? They don't have feelings for each other?"
"It's hard to say. I noticed that Steven has gone home quite frequently lately. It's not entirely true to say
they don't have feelings for each other. But it's their business to take care of. As an outsider, I can't get
into them."
After saying that, Samuel finished washing his face and went straight to the bedroom. In front of Nicole,
he took off his shirt.
Nicole flushed at his sturdy upper body.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting changed!"
Samuel said innocently, except that there was a trace of teasing on the corner of his lips.
The redness extended from Nicole's face to her neck in no time.
"You took off your shirt without informing me in advance. I'm leaving."
"Why leave? You're my wife. I don't mind you staring at it. What are you so shy about?"
Samuel turned around and pressed Nicole directly on the wall. A trace of desire surged in his eyes.
"The past three months is such a torture."
Samuel's breath was ragged.
Nicole only felt her face burning. Even Samuel's breath was so hot. Her blood accelerated and her
heart pounded.
"Swallow it even if it is torture. Otherwise, what will happen to our baby?"
Nicole didn't sound confident. Her breath was somewhat uneven. If Samuel insisted, she did not know
if she could withstand the allure.
To be honest, she was tempted, especially after seeing Samuel's perfect body.
Seeing Nicole's inviting expression, Samuel was swayed.
He lowered his head gently and breathed out on Nicole's face with a trace of warmth.
Nicole swallowed a mouthful automatically and closed her eyes. She could hear her heart beating like
thunder.
The corner of Samuel's lips rose slightly.
He planted a light kiss on Nicole's forehead and whispered, "Store it for me. Three months later I will
collect my interest."
With that, he let go of Nicole.
After the burning sensation around her disappeared, Nicole took a deep breath.
"Asshole!"
With that, she turned around and ran away.
This was simply too embarrassing!
She thought Samuel would...
The more she pondered about it, the more she felt like a nymphomaniac.
Her face was burning.
Seeing Nicole flee away in such a hurry, Samuel laughed out loud.
His little wife was still so naïve, adorable, and attractive.
Samuel shook his head. At the thought of what Nicole just said, he put on his clothes and picked up the
phone to call Steven.
"What have you been up to?"
"Nothing."
Steven's deep voice came from the phone.
"Sounds tired?"
Samuel teased Steven, which was rare.
"Spit it out! I was so annoyed."
Steven was obviously in a bad mood.
"Give me your wife's number."
"What are you doing?"
Steven was vigilant. He sounded as if he was ready to knife Samuel if Samuel suggested that he was
attracted to Ashley.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in your wife. Your wife just bought a house. Unfortunately, that
house belongs to my wife, but it was sold secretly by the daughter of her adoptive parents. My wife
wants to talk to your wife about this."
Samuel explained quickly.
Steven heaved a sigh of relief.
"I'll ask her and give you her answer later."
After that, Steven hung up the phone with a loud sound as if Samuel could do something to his wife if
he spared one more sentence for Samuel.
If this wasn't love, Samuel didn't know what love was. But Steven was such a fool who refused to admit
that he loved his wife.
Only after Nicole ran out of the bedroom did she felt her cheeks less hot.
Just as she was calming herself down, Ernesto ran in from outside.
"Mrs. Green, I'm afraid things won't work out for the film company."
