"What's the matter?"
Seeing that Nicole was in a trance, Samuel asked.
Looking at Lucas who got off the car behind her, speechless, Nicole chuckled, "I forgot to send Lucas
to the Hawk's."
Lucas curled his lips with dissatisfaction.
Forgot?
Although it was the truth, Lucas felt that mommy care less about his feelings.
Gloom seemed to be settling on him.
Seeing Lucas' disdainful gaze, Nicole forced a smile.
However, Samuel said, "Forget it. At worst, call Blair and the others to come over for a vacation. There
is a presidential suite here, where you can also do psychological counseling."
"Good point."
Lucas snorted coldly and leaned against the side, looking at people passing by.
Nicole always found her son cold and distant.
His temperament was inherited from Samuel.
Nicole secretly pinched Samuel, and Samuel frowned slightly in pain.
"What?"
"It's all your fault. You didn't remind me."
Nicole pouted. With a pink face, she looked more attractive under the sunset.
Samuel swallowed hard and there was anger in his eyes.
At this time, Lucas said, "Hurry up and go in. It's a little cold. My arms are gooseflesh all over."
Nicole almost choked on her saliva again.
Zoe came down and said blankly, "Is it cold? I don't feel it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Joseph held her hand and covered her mouth. He chuckled, "Daddy,
Mommy, we'll leave you alone."
With that, Joseph tipped a wink on Lucas.
Lucas caught a glance at Samuel and met with his warning gaze.
Lucas snorted.
With that, he left in disdain.
Samuel was a little mad.
Sooner or later, this brat would be sent to the Pacific Ocean for special training.
Nicole was embarrassed by her son's teasing.
"Don't... in the presence of our son."
Before she could finish her sentence, Samuel stopped her with a kiss.
No, no, no, no.
He didn't care about what his children thought.
His wife mattered the most. When his children grew up, they would get married with others. He didn't
want to discommode himself for the sake of others.
As Samuel thought, he deepened the kiss.
Nicole instantly was turned on and fell into Samuel's arms. As for how she entered the hotel and got on
the elevator, and how she entered the presidential suite, Nicole had no idea.
By the time she figured out what happened, she was already in bed in the presidential suite.
Thinking of how many people would pay their attentions to them along the way, Nicole blushed in an
instant.
"Samuel."
"Here!"
Samuel answered as if he was in the army, but he couldn't help but beam a smile.
"Don't laugh!"
The thought that Nicole simply couldn't do anything with Samuel displeased her.
"Alright, I won't laugh."
Samuel did as he was asked, but Nicole was still unsatisfied.
"You still haven't called Blair yet? Lucas' psychological counseling can't be suspended."
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, I'll call her right now."
As he spoke, Samuel took the phone and went out.
Nicole's phone rang.
She took it over and saw that it was a message from Ashley.
"Where are you? It's almost the New Year. Let's get together sometime. How about going shopping?"
Being bored, Ashley sent messages to Nicole as often as she could. Apart from surgery, there weren't
many friends. Steven, who was too jealousy, would like to spend every possible moment with her.
Nicole's face was still red, and she sent her location to Ashley.
"Let's hang out."
"How about riding horses?"
Ashley was instantly interested.
"Well, don't forget the children."
"Alright."
Ashley hung up the phone and went to pack her things. Her two children were amazed at how vigorous
she was.
"Mommy, where are you going?"
"Hang out. Do you want to join me? Hurry up and pack your things if you want."
With that, Ashley went to pack her things.
Seeing that Ashley and Gabrielle had come, Nicole sent another message to Claire.
"Claire, we're here at the racecourse. Do you want to come over and play? The three of us are here."
Claire paused for a moment when she received her message. Looking at Emory who was reading the
military report in anger in the living room, she hesitated for a moment before she said, "Commander
Cawker, I want to ask for a leave to go out."
"Where are you going?"
There was anger in his face when Emory looked up, but there was a trace of tenderness in his eyes
when he looked at Claire.
"Go to the racecourse. Nicole and Gabrielle are both here. I want to go over and join the fun."
Claire said softly.
Emory frowned slightly, then stood up, picked up his coat and said, "Let's go together."
"Aren't you still in the middle of something?"
Claire was a little surprised.
However, Emory said in a flat tone, "I can never finish my work. It's almost the New Year, and I don't
have much time to be with you. You know, I'm a soldier. As the new year is coming, I'll get busier. Let
me take the chance to spend more time with you and the children."
A wave of happiness surged over Claire's heart.
"Alright."
Claire went to arrange it.
Nicole did not know that she had gathered the four young masters of the Seapolis City with a phone
call.
Samuel asked Nicole, who came back with a smile on her face, "Is there anything funny? You are in a
good mood."
"Well, I called Claire and Ashley. They'll be here soon, including Gabrielle. The four of us can play
mahjong."
Samuel was slightly startled, and he said dotingly, "Good, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
Have fun. Money flows freely in our family."
"I know you're rich."
Nicole smiled.
Samuel turned around and set rooms for the four young masters of the Seapolis City.
Not long after, Blair came here with Gabrielle and Maddie.
Nicole hadn't seen Maddie for a long time.
This child was adopted by Blair after saving Lucas, and it had been more than half a year now.
When she saw Maddie again, Nicole was a little surprised.
Maddie seemed to be a different person inside and out. She radiated confidence and there was no
longer fear or timidity showing on her face. Instead, she was scrupulous about her manners.
It could be seen that Blair and her husband treated Maddie as their biological daughter.
"Hello, aunt."
Maddie gestured.
Nicole couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
It was a pity that such a good girl was unable to speak in this lifetime.
"Maddie is getting prettier."
As Nicole said, she stroked Maddie's head.
Maddie gave a shy smile and then continued to gesture, "Where's Lucas?"
"In the room, I'll take you to find him."
Nicole was very fond of Maddie.
"No need, Auntie, I'll go by myself. You may talk to Mommy."
With that, Maddie left.
Nicole looked at Maddie's back and sighed, "If only she could speak."
Gabrielle also sighed.
"Blair and I have thought about it before, but there is really nothing we can do about it. We are doctors,
but sometimes we are always helpless. Maddie is doing well. She has completely moved on and now
she is confident, and she won't have the feeling of inferiority because of her flaws. Blair and I are glad
about that."
Gabrielle had been pregnant for more than six months.
Nicole looked at her belly and hurriedly walked towards the room, taking her hand.
"Come in and sit down. Your belly looks so big."
"Forget it! I have a voracious appetite ever since I'm pregnant. Didn't you see that I've put on a lot of
weight?"
Gabrielle was a little depressed.
Nicole felt distressed at the thought of her lost child.
"A good appetite is a real blessing."
Gabrielle did not ignore the sadness in Nicole's eyes and whispered, "You already have two sons and
one daughter. There is no need to have another. Samuel is doing it for your own good."
"I know."
Nicole smiled faintly.
Ashley also came with her two children. Nicole and Gabrielle both smiled when they saw her.
"What's wrong? Why are your face and neck so red?"
Nicole teased.
Ashley said dejectedly, "Well, I was bitten by a dog."
"If I'm a dog. What will you be?"
Steven was obviously pleased with himself.
"Knock it off."
Ashley glared at him and took Nicole and Gabrielle into the room.
The three women had a good time as they waited for Claire.
Samuel took Blair to Lucas' place and got a room for Lucas alone, while Maddie was at the side.
"Come out. Maddie is here. There's nothing to be worried about."
Blair pushed Samuel out.
Steven lit a cigarette and saw Samuel come out. He asked with a smile, "I heard you're making a
profession change report?"
Samuel glanced at him and said indifferently, "You're gloating. Do you want to practice?"
"Let's see?"
Steven really had such a plan.
The two of them went to the gym.
When Emory and Claire arrived, Claire went straight to Nicole's room. Hearing that Blair was doing
psychological counseling for Lucas, Emory did not disturb them. He thought for a moment and knocked
on Nicole's door.
Nicole and the others were slightly surprised.
Claire smiled and said, "He might come to apologize to you."
"What? Apologize?"
Nicole was a little confused.
Ashley and Gabrielle were also curious. Ashley opened the door.
Emory asked awkwardly, "May I come in?"
"Come in, Commander Cawker."
Ashley smiled faintly, but she was obviously a little aggressive.
Emory coughed to conceal his awkwardness and unease.
He walked in, took a look at Claire and Nicole, and bowed to Nicole solemnly, which frightened Nicole.
"Emory, what are you doing?"
Nicole stood up but was grabbed by Claire.
"Sit properly. He should apologize to you."
Claire short and thin but she was strong. Being pulled by her, Nicole was unable to move at all.
She couldn't help but be shocked.
It seemed that Claire was really something.
