As Nicole finished, she realized that it was a silly question.
Who was Zayn?
He was her cousin. Why on earth would he kidnap her?
Besides, Zayn was now in Country F. He wouldn't have time to come here and kidnap her.
Nicole chuckled, "My brain isn't working well recently."
"Well, maybe you should have some monkey brain to help you become smart."
Nicole didn't like to be mocked by Samuel.
"Shouldn't you say something to make me feel better?"
"What would you like to hear?"
Samuel's mood wasn't affected at all, as if nothing had happened just now.
Nicole was depressed.
She looked at the harbor and whispered, "Those people aren't the bodyguards of the Green family, are
they?"
"No."
Samuel turned around and whispered, "They're from Sky Group. We're not in our motherland now. The
people from the Green family might draw unwanted attention to us."
Nicole was surprised.
"Sky Group? They work for Fill?"
"Yes."
Few people knew about the relationship between Samuel and Fill or the fact that Samuel was the
highest leader of Sky Group. However, the upper echelons of Sky Group knew about it. Therefore,
Samuel contacted the people of Sky Group to secretly protect her.
That was why those people called him Mr. Samuel.
Nicole couldn't help but think of Fill.
"Fill hasn't returned yet?"
"He can't come back for the time being. Whether this Whitney is real or fake, Fill will not leave her out
there on her own. Let's leave him to it."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole nodded.
"I hope that by the time we get home, the ancient book is already there."
Seeing that Nicole was still thinking about the ancient book, Samuel felt touched.
"I'm feeling a lot better now. Don't worry too much. Moreover, even if the ancient book arrives, Blair and
Joseph will need some time to study it. We should be patient."
Nicole nodded.
"What bad luck! Why would we come across such a psycho? If he's not Zayn, who will he be?"
Nicole was back to the point.
Samuel whispered, "Zayn's brother."
"Which one?"
Samuel was amused and said, "I didn't look into it."
"I see."
Nicole felt the same way. They came here for a tour, why should they care who that man was? Yet, she
was curious what a prince from Country F was doing here.
"Is this place close to Country F?"
Nicole suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Yes."
Samuel didn't keep it from her.
Nicole was upset instantly.
"Why was this happening to us?"
"It's alright. I didn't know we would have anything to do country F when I bought this island. However,
since I've already bought it, let's just enjoy the time here."
Samuel said calmly, but Nicole thought of something.
"You knew he's a prince from Country F, but you threw him into the sea anyway. Aren't you afraid of
their revenge?"
"You are Zayn's cousin. Even if you're nice to the other princes, they will not let us off. Since that's the
case, why should we play nice? Besides, I don't like him pointing a gun at you. This is just a warning.
The power struggle between him and Zayn is none of my business, but if he lays a finger on you, next
time I'll do something worse than throwing him into the sea."
Samuel's eyes were cold.
But Nicole felt warm in her heart.
"Where are you going to throw him into?"
Samuel was surprised by her question. He paused for a moment before saying indifferently, "A sulfuric
acid pond."
Nicole's lips twitched when she heard that.
Sulfuric acid pond?
Was he going to make that man without any trace left?
He was brutal!
She chuckled, and then, she found the car stop.
This was a nice western restaurant.
After Nicole got off, Samuel held her hand and walked in.
"I want some cake."
"I've booked one."
Samuel brought Nicole into the western restaurant.
She thought that Samuel would have booked the entire restaurant, but he took her to a table in the hall.
"You don't like it?"
Samuel looked at Nicole nervously.
"Yeah, I do. It's nice to be close to a normal life."
Nicole liked it very much. She didn't need anything unique. She just wanted to do what an ordinary
couple would do - book a table in the restaurant to celebrate the birthday of her beloved.
Seeing that she liked it, Samuel smiled.
When Nicole saw the piano in the restaurant, she couldn't help but think of Samuel's slender fingers.
"Can you play the piano?"
"A little."
Samuel said humbly.
Nicole smiled and said, "Play a song."
"Together?"
Nicole paused a bit and said shyly, "I'm not very good at piano."
"Don't worry. You have me."
"Forget it. I'll just listen."
Since Nicole had refused, Samuel wouldn't force her.
Samuel unbuttoned his cuffs and went to the stage.
He glanced at Nicole and smiled. That smile immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Holy shit, he's so handsome!"
"Heavens, where did this handsome guy come from?"
The women screamed.
Nicole knew that Samuel always drew attention in public.
He was handsome, calm, wise, and attractive to every woman. And such a good man was her
husband.
Nicole felt proud instantly.
Then, Samuel started to play.
The melodious tune made people feel relaxed and happy. Everyone was attracted to it in a daze.
Nicole felt that this was the most beautiful music in the world.
She hurriedly took out her phone and recorded the music.
When other women saw Nicole take out her phone, they took out their phones to record it, too.
Soon, Samuel became popular on the Internet again.
People gave him a title: "Piano Prince".
After playing the song, Samuel got off the stage and came to Nicole.
Nicole looked at the man in front of her and had an unreal feeling.
"Darling, are you really my husband?"
Samuel smiled.
It's nice to see his wife put on a cute look every now and then.
He held Nicole's face and kissed her.
"Wow!"
People exclaimed in the restaurant.
Nicole blushed. She wanted to push Samuel away, but she couldn't. She was lost in the kiss with him.
How embarrassing.
Nicole hurriedly lowered her head, her red face alluring.
Samuel swallowed to suppress his emotions.
Here came the cake.
Nicole shifted her attention to the cake.
"Light a candle and make a wish."
"I'm not making a wish. I'm not a child anymore."
Samuel felt that he was almost thirty, so he didn't want to do something so childish, but Nicole insisted.
"Even if you are sixty, you still have the right to make a birthday wish."
"Alright. Whatever you say."
Samuel watched Nicole insert the number 28 on the candle.
He was twenty-eight.
He was almost thirty.
After setting it up, Nicole smiled and urged, "Close your eyes and make a wish."
Samuel closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "I hope that Nicole will have a happy and peaceful life
from now on."
After making his wish, he opened his eyes.
Nicole asked curiously, "What did you wish for?"
"It won't come true if I say it out loud."
Nicole was a little disappointed when he refused to tell her.
"Alright. Cut the cake."
Nicole watched Samuel gracefully cutting the cake, and she was envious of his slender fingers.
Samuel handed a piece of cake to Nicole.
"It's your birthday. You should have the first one."
"I don't like it. Help me eat it."
Samuel did not like sweets very much.
Nicole insisted on stuffing some into his mouth before she started to eat.
The way she ate was elegant, but it seemed that the food was delicious.
Some butter stained at her lips. Samuel wiped it off with his finger, causing Nicole to tremble.
"What are you doing?"
Her face reddened.
Samuel smiled and said, "There was some butter on your lips."
"I see."
She nodded, her heart thumping.
Their lovey-dovey show made the people around them jealous, but they didn't know it at all.
The meal was full of affection and happiness.
After Samuel settled the bill, Nicole and he left the restaurant. She looked at him and said, "I have a gift
for you."
"What?"
Nicole took out the diamond watch.
"This is the first birthday present I gave you. Don't lose it."
Samuel realized that it was the first time he had celebrated his birthday with Nicole in the eight years of
their marriage. In the first three years of marriage, Samuel never celebrated his birthday, so Nicole
didn't have a chance to give him any birthday gifts she had prepared.
She hated Samuel for five years abroad, and she wouldn't prepare any gifts for him at the time. After
eight years of marriage, he received a gift from Nicole for the first time.
"Okay."
Samuel took off the watch on his wrist and let Nicole put on the new one for him.
The diamond on the watch was shining under the sunlight, and Samuel's wrist looked quite beautiful.
Nicole was satisfied.
"From now on, this watch represents me. When I'm not around, this watch will stay by your side on
behalf of me."
"Nonsense. You'll always be around."
Samuel lowered his head and kissed Nicole.
Being kissed by his handsome husband on the street, Nicole felt her blood rushing up to her head, shy
but excited.
After the kiss, Samuel said in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to go shopping?"
"No. Let's just buy some necessities and go home. I want to go out to the sea with you."
Samuel wouldn't say no to Nicole, of course.
However, he was a little depressed.
If he hadn't had that surgery, maybe he would be able to do a lot of things on the sea, such as having
sex!
But now, he could only watch his woman without doing anything. How long would this miserable
situation last?
Samuel was going crazy.
Nicole did not know what was on Samuel's mind. She looked up at the supermarket in front of her and
spotted a familiar figure.
It was him?
What was he doing here?
