Samuel was warning her!
Phoenix remembered that Samuel would rarely speak to her like that. But now Samuel warned her for
Nicole. Phoenix couldn't help but feel a little wronged.
"Mr. Green, I've done so much these years for Sky Group and for you. Are you going to get rid of me
for Nicole?"
Phoenix tried to hold back her tears when she said so. Hearing that, Samuel suddenly took pity on her.
"Phoenix, she is my wife. I won't allow anyone to hurt her. As a man, if I can't even protect my wife, do
you think I'm worthy of being a man?"
"But ..."
"Alright, Nicole is a very good girl. If you meet her, I believe you will like her."
Samuel hung up the phone after saying that.
When Phoenix heard that Samuel hung up, she felt disappointed.
Samuel rarely cared about others like that.
Phoenix looked at the documents in her hands. They were all about Nicole.
Nicole used to be so ordinary that Phoenix would pass by her without giving a glance. How could
Samuel like her? If Nicole didn't trick Samuel into sleeping with her, how could she become his wife?
Phoenix was very disdainful of a woman like Nicole. Even though some documents showed that Nicole
had suffered so much over the years that she almost died in a fire, so what?
If Nicole didn't want to marry Samuel, none of these would happen. So in the end, she could only
blame herself. But Samuel cared about her so much.
Why?
Phoenix crumpled all the documents up, and it seemed like she was determined to win back Samuel.
After Samuel hung up the phone, he looked at the snowstorm outside, feeling complicated.
Phoenix had a different meaning to him.
Back then, Phoenix went to the battlefield for him. They crossed through the barrage of bullets and
fought side by side. To be honest, Samuel did not treat her as a woman at all during that period.
She was more like his brother whom he could entrust his life. Samuel was captured in a mission one
time. In order to save Samuel, Phoenix ignored disciplines and orders and infiltrated the enemy's place
by herself. She fought more than 30 terrorists single-handedly and rescued Samuel. However, she was
shot and trapped there.
Samuel did not know what she had suffered. He only knew that when Phoenix was rescued, she was
covered in blood. Although she didn't suffer from sexual violence, the bullet got through her abdomen
and the doctor said that she could never bear children.
That was what Samuel owed her.
He still remembered that Phoenix smiled and said to him, "Mr. Green, it's fine. You don't mind that,
right? Why don't you marry me?"
At that time, Samuel thought about marrying her. After all, it was not easy for an infertile woman to find
a man who was loyal to her. Samuel did not want to see that Phoenix had an unhappy marriage due to
her infertility, so he was silent, not showing his attitude. But everyone thought that they were a couple.
Phoenix was happy back then. Even though she had disability, she did not care. Samuel could feel her
excitement, but he was somewhat depressed and sad.
Emotionally, he did not want to marry Phoenix, because she was more like a war friend to him. It was
more like a kinship, but definitely not love.
Samuel also longed for love. He wanted to marry someone he loved and spend the rest of his life with
her, so he didn't want to marry Phoenix. However, logically speaking, he knew that Phoenix needed to
receive treatment.
At that time, Phoenix's was very emotional. In order to let her listen to the doctor, Samuel had to
temporarily acquiesce in their relationship.
Phoenix was immersed in happiness all day, so she recovered faster than expected.
Samuel still remembered that the day when Phoenix recovered from her injuries, she was dressed in a
white wedding dress. At that time, he realized that she was a woman, a real woman, and that woman
wanted to marry him and spend her life with him.
Samuel was conflicted about marrying Phoenix then. He knew it would make him a bastard, but he still
rejected Phoenix.
He said, "Phoenix, I'm sorry. I will treat you as my sister for the rest of my life. In the future, I will always
back you up. The Green's is also a home to you. I'll make sure that no one dares to bully you, but I
cannot marry you."
The grin vanished from Phoenix's face.
She stared at Samuel in astonishment. Seeing her painful expression, Samuel felt hurt.
She cried.
That was the first time Samuel saw Phoenix crying. Only then did he know that Phoenix was only a
vulnerable woman who was not as strong as others thought.
"I'm sorry, Phoenix, I know I'm cruel to you, but everyone in the world has the right to find their own
love. I am not in love with you. I have my plans of life for the future, but you are not in my plans. I've
thought about marrying you out of responsibility, but my heart tells me that would be bad for both you
and me."
"Mr. Green, I don't care. I want to marry you because you are the one I love."
Phoenix cried out. She was completely devastated. After waiting for so many days, she thought that the
wedding would be enviable. Who knew that Samuel would break up with her?
She couldn't accept it.
But Samuel said in a low voice, "But I don't love you. If you marry someone who you don't love, your
marriage won't be happy and every promise will be no more than empty checks. Phoenix, I don't love
you. Even if another ten or twenty years go by, I still won't love you. I'm not the type of man who will fall
in love with someone who I spend most time together. The love I long for is the one at first sight, the
one which would give me a throb. We've been together for so many years. To be honest, if it weren't for
your injuries, I wouldn't even notice you are a girl. You know, I won't marry someone I don't love."
Samuel's words were quite harsh. This was the first time Phoenix realized that Samuel was a heartless
person.
His heart was made of stone, but what about Nicole now?
Samuel was recalling the past, and so was Phoenix.
She looked at the documents in her hands and laughed crazily. She even didn't notice that her tears
fell.
"Mr. Green, you said that you will not marry someone you don't love, but Nicole tricked you into
sleeping with her and forced you to marry her. Why wouldn't you treat her like me? Why did you marry
her? Didn't you say that you like the love at first sight? How could Nicole win you over? I saved you at
all costs. Is my love for you not as much as that of the woman who played tricks on you?"
Phoenix could not understand.
After Phoenix recovered, she was expelled from the military compound because of her unauthorized
actions. She said goodbye to Samuel. She thought that she would never meet Samuel again, but when
Samuel asked Fill to form the Sky Group, she saw hope.
Although she hadn't seen Samuel a few times these years, she was happy to know that he was still
alive and was her superior. In order to destroy Samuel's enemies and protect him, she resolutely
returned to her hometown and came to relatives who she didn't like and didn't even want to mention.
She contrived, schemed and got things done in Country F alone, only to ensure the safety of Samuel
when he came here. Now he really came, but he was not alone. He brought his wife with him.
'If I meet Nicole, what should I call her?'
'Sister-in-law?'
'Does she deserve?'
A trace of coldness flashed across Phoenix's eyes.
She heard the voice of a maid from outside.
"Princess, Mr. Zayn is here."
Phoenix was slightly stunned.
She almost forgot her real name.
Yes, she was the fifth daughter of the king of Country F, and her real name was Inez Van. However,
Phoenix was unfamiliar with that name, because there had been few people who would call her Inez
since childhood, so few that she almost forgot her real name.
If it hadn't been for her mother who went to any lengths to send her out when she was ten years old,
she would have died many years ago, so when Samuel asked her what her name was, she shook her
head.
At that time, although Samuel was cold, he was very considerate. He held her in his arms. It was the
first time in 10 years that she had been hugged by someone other than her mother.
She still remembered how warm and reassuring that hug was, so she fell in love with Samuel at that
moment.
At that time, Samuel said, "What do you think of the name Phoenix? Phoenix is a noble and strong
creature. I hope you can start your new life like a phoenix."
Phoenix found the name beautiful, so she said, "Well, I'll be a phoenix then."
Samuel said, "You don't need to be exactly like a phoenix. The phoenix suffered a lot when it was about
to revive. I don't want that for you. I hope you can grow up happily with less sufferings."
He smiled when he said so. His smile brightened Phoenix's heart like sunshine, giving her the reason
and belief to live on.
Phoenix wanted to become outstanding till she could match the man in front of her.
So she worked hard and received all trainings and education. Even if she was so hard-working that her
hands were blistered, she would feel that everything she did was worthwhile.
But now?
Phoenix was a little sad.
Seeing that Phoenix did not respond, the maid called her again.
"Princess?"
"Let him in."
Phoenix suddenly came to herself.
In the past, Phoenix didn't have the slightest interest in who would be the master of the country, and
her brothers and sisters were no more than strangers to her.
When she and her mother were in trouble, her brothers and sisters didn't say a word for them, let alone
give them a hand.
The so-called second brother was unable to protect himself back then. It was said that he was almost
tortured to death. She did not expect that he would come back alive, and even wanted to compete for
the throne.
She didn't intend to get involved in this storm, but the documents showed that her second brother, Zayn
Freeman, was Nicole's cousin. Now Phoenix found the whole thing interesting.
'Her cousin?'
'Would a despicable woman like Nicole choose love or family?'
A wicked smile hovered on Phoenix's lips.
‘Would a despicable woman like Nicole choose love or family?’
A wicked smile hovered on Phoenix's lips.
