After receiving the news, Tim and Evelyn set off overnight for the location given by Nicole.
When Nicole returned to the club, Samuel, who had just finished the business, held Nicole in his arms
when seeing that she was quite upset.
"What happened?"
"There's something wrong with Ballard. He doesn't let Tim come here, as if he's afraid of something.
But he is the chairman of the Louis Group. What on earth is he afraid of? Now his health is so bad and
he couldn't see anything. It was said that it was caused by taking some medicine for many years. I
remember he had any chronic diseases, and he was very healthy. Why did he take medicine for
years?"
Nicole couldn't understand this.
Samuel frowned slightly and whispered, "Maybe that woman secretly added something to his diet.
Remember that woman's lover is a doctor."
Samuel didn't want to mention the name of Jacob's mother at all.
Nicole frowned the moment she came in, making Samuel worried about her.
"Well, no matter what happens to Ballard, all we can do is to help Tim save Ballard. As for the rest,
forget about it. We are here to travel, not to solve the problems."
Samuel's words left Nicole speechless.
Travel?
Did Samuel really think she was a child?
How did they leave the Seapolis City?
How could he regard their "escape" as travel?
Nicole glared at him, but she did not notice that Samuel was mesmerized by her gaze. He found it
charming.
"Shall we go take a look at our temporary new home?"
Nicole was a little curious when hearing this.
"Is there anything different?"
"You'll see when you get there."
After that, Samuel left the club with Nicole.
Their new home wasn't far away, so they just strolled along the road hand in hand.
Nicole glanced at their long shadows under the sunlight and saw that they were intertwined, which was
quite sweet.
Nicole couldn't help but smile. Only at this moment did she feel like that they were traveling.
Nicole stretched out the other hand like a child and made a heart shape on their shadows. Then, she
secretly laughed.
She thought that Samuel did not see it, but actually, Samuel had seen everything. He looked at Nicole
with a suggestion of a smile.
Samuel stretched out his finger to touch Nicole's hand. He imitated Nicole and made a heart shape on
the shadows as well. Immediately, a "heart" fell on Nicole's shadow.
Nicole suddenly paused. She looked up and saw a smile touch Samuel's mouth. But he was still
looking ahead and seemed to be serious.
This man was always like this.
Nicole swooned.
She was filled with happiness.
Nicole leaned against Samuel's shoulder and said gently, "Do you have any plans?"
"What do you mean?"
"Travel guides."
At this moment, Nicole really wanted to enjoy this travel with Samuel.
Samuel smiled, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
They walked along the street. The buttonwood trees here looked very good, and the leaves were
rustling in the wind.
Nicole had never seen so many buttonwood trees planted on a single street before. She could not help
but smile. "I've heard that a commander once planted a lot of French buttonwood trees for his wife."
"You want it too? Then I'll ask Fill to buy the whole street and plant French buttonwood trees."
Samuel's attitude made Nicole speechless.
"Please don't. I'm just telling you a story."
Nicole hurriedly stopped him.
She knew that even if she wanted the stars in the sky, this man would find a way to get them for her.
How could she not fall in love with such a man?
Nicole looked at Samuel's handsome face and sighed secretly.
No wonder so many women wanted to have sex with him.
Finding such a good husband was quite hard for her.
Nicole said this in her heart, and then she laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing. I just thought it would be great if you were uglier. You're so handsome and there are some
women who always want to get you. I'm very tired."
Nicole said coquettishly.
Samuel was slightly stunned, and then he said, "It doesn't matter if I'm handsome or not. Appearance
is nothing."
Sometimes, what the man said could really piss her off.
"Then why did you not marry an ugly woman back then?"
Nicole rolled her eyes at him.
Samuel quickly wrapped her shoulders and said, "I already have a beautiful wife. Why do I have to
tolerate an ugly woman?"
"What you say always makes sense. By the way, Camila is really good. Look at me. I can't recognize
myself when I look in the mirror."
Nicole still felt that it was amazing.
When Samuel spoke of the other women, his tone was a little cold.
"This is her profession."
As they spoke, they had arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
Nicole never thought that their new home would be at the end of the row of those buttonwood trees.
It was a single-family house in the bustling downtown area, which must be expensive.
Samuel took out the key and opened the door.
When Nicole entered, it was as if she had returned to the ancient times.
This place was beautifully decorated with pavilions and arches. It was in an ancient architectural style.
She was stunned.
"Did you do this?"
However, Samuel said indifferently, "No. This place has a long history. Over two hundred years ago, it
was a prince's mansion. After several decades, many things were abolished and the buildings in the
front courtyard were preserved. I tried to build a backyard, but the terrain here is complicated and I
didn't get the official approval."
"Did you buy this?"
Nicole was a little surprised.
She thought it belonged to Fill and the others.
Samuel did not deny that.
He wasn't very clear about how many house properties he had, but it was true that he always had a
place to live when he came to a new city.
"Come in and take a look. It seems like this is the first time that you have seen all this. It's not like Mrs.
Green's style."
"Stop."
Nicole scolded him and walked in.
The antique buildings and the pear wood furniture made Nicole feel that she could almost smell a faint
fragrance of pear flowers.
In the courtyard, there was a wintersweet in bud. The faint fragrance delighted Nicole. At this moment,
those troubles she had have in the past few days were not worth mentioning. She didn't want to think
about them at all.
Samuel smiled as he looked at his wife sniffing the fragrance like a child. He looked into the dark and
then a few men in black came and hid in the surroundings.
He took off his coat and threw it on the chair. And then he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen.
Nicole observed the whole courtyard before realizing that Samuel was not there. She followed the
fragrance and found Samuel in the kitchen.
The faint afterglow shone on him like a halo. He was like an immortal who came to the mortal world.
Nicole loved Samuel so much.
It was said that men should stay away from the kitchen. However, Samuel was willing to learn how to
cook for her, which made Nicole very joyful.
Yes.
She was joyful.
She still remembered how she felt the first time she saw Samuel in school.
At that time, he was cold and aloof, which attracted her and many other women.
Nicole really did not expect that she would win Samuel's love, and now even became his wife.
A slight smile touched her lips.
Samuel had noticed Nicole's gaze. Although he did not turn around, he still smiled. He was no longer
as cold as before, which made him even more handsome.
Samuel was busy in the kitchen, while Nicole was watching him from outside. Time passed slowly.
It was only when Samuel finished four dishes and one soup and served them on the table that he
smiled, "You still haven't seen enough of me?"
"It won't be enough forever. My husband is so handsome."
The word "husband" satisfied Samuel.
"Wash your hands and let's eat. You didn't eat anything along the way."
Samuel sounded gentle.
Nicole went to wash her hands and sit down. She asked, "When will the children come back? Don't we
wait for them to eat with us?"
"Do you think they have nothing to eat at the club? Don't worry about them."
Samuel didn't want to care about this.
Nicole was speechless.
"They came here with us. We can't ignore them."
"I guess each of them is happy now. They won't come back even if you ask them to. If you don't believe
me, you can make a phone call."
Nicole did not believe what Samuel said.
She took out her phone and dialed Lucas' number.
"Son, come back for dinner."
"Mommy, you eat with Samuel. I'm busy here. I'll talk to you later."
After saying that, Lucas hung up the phone directly. Nicole felt embarrassed.
"What is he busy with?"
"He's busy with computer games. Someone wants to compete with him."
Samuel said indifferently.
"Who is it?"
"Silver Fox."
Nicole felt that this name was familiar to her, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment. He should be
the leader Samuel mentioned, but Nicole felt that she had heard of the name "Silver Fox" before.
Seeing Nicole frowning, Samuel gently knocked on her forehead.
"Eat first."
"I need to call another kid."
Nicole called Joseph.
"Mommy, I have a medical project to consult my professor. You have dinner with dad."
With that, he hung up the phone.
Nicole looked gloomy and called Zoe.
Zoe's voice wasn't very clear. "Mommy, I'm eating dinner right now. Don't worry about me."
Then she hung up the phone as well.
Nicole suddenly felt as if the children disliked her.
Wait a minute!
All of this was planned by Samuel, right?
She looked at Samuel with disgust. Immediately, her mouth was stuffed with a sweet and sour pork rib
given by Samuel.
The sweet and sour taste filled her taste buds. She began to focus on food. As for the man's plans, she
just pretended that she didn't know anything.
In the beautiful house, Nicole was like a person who came out of a painting. Her lovely appearance and
eating posture calmed him down slowly.
