Samuel felt like he was on pins and needles in Nicole's melancholy eyes. But thinking of the operation
he just had, he had to do so.
Zoe was satisfied with this meal. After she finished, she asked Samuel to tell her a story.
But what happened to Zoe scared her very much. Although Nicole was a little depressed, she let
Samuel be with her daughter.
When Ashley came to change Nicole's wound dressing, Nicole still wore an unhappy face.
"Who messed with you? Why are you so depressed?"
"Who else can be? My rival."
Nicole shook her head.
"What rival?"
Ashley was a little confused.
"Who is it? Who took a fancy to Samuel? Wasn't he in the police station before? How could he flirt with
other women? Is it a policewoman?"
Hearing Ashley's guess, Nicole laughed out.
"No, it's Zoe. Because people often say daughter is her father's lover in previous life. She always let
Samuel to stay with her. And Samuel said just now that he would sleep with his little princess before
the wounds on my body started to form scabs. I don't expect her to take my husband's attention away.
How about your twins? "
Nicole asked for advice.
Ashley frowned and said, "You mean Yasmeen and Jasmine? Yasmeen is boyish, she won't be around
Steven if Jasmine was not there. Jasmine is a quiet girl, and she only asks for her daddy occasionally.
But I wish Steven would take care of our daughters and don't bother me."
"Why do I sense a bit jealousy?"
Nicole teased Ashley.
"Screw you. You are jealous of your daughter. Samuel only had an operation this morning, so he needs
to be ascetic for at least half a month. Don't complain about him. There's no need to have sex every
day, right?
Nicole was surprised.
"What operation?"
Ashley was confused.
"You don't know?"
"What should I know? Tell me, what operation?"
Nicole was about to sit up, but Ashley pressed her down.
"Don't move. I'm changing the dressing. Don't worry, it's just a vasectomy. I came to Gabrielle for taking
over an operation this morning. And I saw him let Blair do an operation for him, so I asked. I really don't
know you have no idea about this. But didn't Samuel tell you this?"
Nicole was completely dumbfounded.
She recalled that when she said she would have another child for Samuel in the future, his expression
did not change much.
She didn't feel anything wrong from his behaviors.
A vasectomy?
Was he planning to never have children again?
No wonder he was afraid that she would be tired with too much children.
But a warm feeling rushed through her heart.
"Did he say why he did this operation?"
Ashley watched as Nicole smiling. Ashley said with some contempt, "You clearly know why he did this
operation. And you still ask me?"
"I know, but I just like to hear people say it. That makes me feel so moved."
Nicole said with a smile.
"Are you nuts?"
Ashley teased at Nicole, and then said, "Actually, Samuel's choice is correct. You can't get pregnant in
a short time. You didn't recover well and got pregnant accidentally last time. You had no choice. But
you lost it in the end. Your health condition has suffered a lot. If you get pregnant again, it will really be
life-threatening. Samuel also knows this. So, he knows vasectomy is the most direct and effective
method."
"But he will regret for the rest of his life. He was not by my side when I was pregnant. He didn't see the
children growing up. I thought I could make it up to him."
This was Nicole's sincere words.
Ashley said in disagreement, "Back then, he didn't figure out who was his be-loved, and did not
properly handle the relationship between you and Riley, which made you suffer so much. He caused
his own regrets. And you even bear so much for him. Why should you make up for his regrets? There
are so many regretful things in one's life, how can you make up them all? Do you think you're Santa
Claus? Samuel doesn't care about this anymore, can you just let it go?"
Nicole sighed, "How could he not be regretful? He just made a choice between making up the regret
and me."
"Alright, I know that Samuel loves you more than he loves himself, can you stop showing off in front of
me? Aren't you afraid that I won't treat you anymore?"
Nicole laughed at Ashley's words.
"Steven is nice, too."
"Maybe. Luckily, he is good to the children and me. Otherwise, I would have left him before."
Ashley said arrogantly. But there was a trace of tenderness in her face.
Nicole giggled. Every time she thought of what Samuel had done for her, she couldn't stop smiling.
But he dared to hide this from her.
She would not let him off easily.
Nicole could almost imagine that scene and laughed.
"Enough, do you think I'm invisible?"
Ashley felt that Nicole was too easy to be satisfied.
She probably wouldn't be able to do that.
Nicole loved Samuel with all her heart. No matter how much she endured, no matter what kind of
difficulties she encountered, as long as Samuel loved her, she would go on without hesitation.
Ashley really admired her courage.
Nicole looked tender, but her persistence in love was really admirable. Fortunately, Samuel did not let
her down.
Ashley thought and quickly changed Nicole's dressing. She whispered, "I heard Steven and Blair say
something on the phone. I don't know what Samuel's final choice is. I told you in advance so that you
can prepare yourself if his decision is not as you think."
"What is it? So mysterious?"
Nicole said to Ashley.
Ashley was not a gossip person, nor was she a messenger. It was definitely something related to her
since Ashley said so.
Nicole became a little nervous.
Ashley said, "I heard that Samuel still has a military rank. Mr. Emory seemed to ask him when he would
return to the military area for reinstatement. Also, Jacob wasn't in a vegetative state. Instead, he took
advantage of this accident to go to Major's group to search evidence. It was said that Major was
involved with some senior executives of the Military Ministry, and Jacob came for the list. This was also
the task given to Samuel and Jacob by their senior officers. Samuel went to the military headquarters in
the early hours of the morning. Maybe they'll be reinstated soon. If he returns to the military area,
Nicole, what will you do? What about you and the children? "
Nicole was astonished.
She didn't know about these things.
But she didn't blamed Samuel.
They would sign a confidentiality agreement, and it was forbidden for them to tell anyone before the
mission ended, including their own relatives. Nicole did not dwell on this.
But she was afraid that if Samuel went back, then they would have much less time staying together.
And Jacob!
He was actually faking it!
Now, she didn't know if Olivia knew about it. If she knew, it would be another round of chaos.
Nicole felt like her head was aching.
"Does Olivia know?"
"Nicole, you missed the point. I'm talking about what will happen to you after Samuel returns. What are
you worrying about Olivia for? You still need to care about her love affair?"
Ashley felt that Nicole's focus was not the same as common people.
Nicole smiled and said, "When I married Samuel, I didn't know he was a military officer. He is nurtured
by the country, and it is reasonable that he goes back. I can't stop him and let him stay. I can only enjoy
the days when he is still with me. Besides, I think Samuel has his own considerations and choices. I
don't want to interfere with him."
Ashley was shocked, and she felt even more admiration for Nicole.
"You're really suitable to be a military wife. Alright, I won't say more. It will be best if you can accept his
decision. By the way, Emory wants to get us together tomorrow. We'll talk about that later."
As Ashley finished, she began to pack her things.
Nicole nodded and thought of Clair.
"Do you know Emory's wife, Clair?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Ashley looked at Nicole doubtfully.
"I heard Clair call Emory uncle. What's going on?" Nicole asked after a long time of hesitation.
Ashley suddenly laughed.
"You can ask her tomorrow. I promise you will be surprised. Alright, I'll go. Remember, be careful
recently. If you have any heavy work, hand it over to Samuel. And no sex!"
Ashley didn't say it loudly, but Nicole still blushed.
"Stop talking. Just leave."
Ashley smiled and left.
Nicole put on her shoes and went downstairs. She saw Samuel comfort Zoe to a nap.
Zoe's hand was rounded Samuel's neck, and leaned on Samuel. Samuel was very patient, he patted
Zoe gently, singing nursery rhymes softly.
This was the first time Nicole heard Samuel sing.
Surprisingly, it was quite pleasant to listen to, and his voice was as mellow and charming as a cello.
She was mesmerized.
Samuel put the sleeping Zoe into her room. He turned around and saw Nicole standing at the stairs,
with smiling eyes.
He immediately became alert.
He was too familiar about this kind of smile. But he had just finished the operation, so he couldn't do
that.
What should he do?
