Well, Phoenix did hit the nail on the head.
Samuel put himself in Nicole's place and pondered what he would do if Nicole did the same thing as he
did.
He suddenly felt twitchy and almost couldn't breathe, with his stomach in knots.
If Nicole sacrificed her life to save him without his knowledge, he would plumb the depths of despair.
Besides, he would blame himself and feel guilty for the rest of his life, and might even die in
depression.
He finally understood what Nicole was mad about.
When they got married, they had said that they would share weal and woe. However, he left her out of
his plan when danger really came. Although he did it for her good, this put her in an awkward place.
He always thought that sacrificing his life for his beloved was a great thing and should be proud of. This
showed how much he loved her. But now he realized how foolish and insulting it was to a woman like
Nicole.
This was a sign that he didn't trust her. He forced her to abandon him and endure mental suffering she
shouldn't have borne. Thus, it was reasonable for her to get angry.
Samuel was silent.
Phoenix knew he had figured it out.
She whispered, "Women are different from each other. Some are weak and depend on men, while
others are tough and work hard to keep pace with their lovers to weather the storms together. Mr.
Green, you know your wife. If she only wants you to do things for her, there will be no twists and turns
in your relationship."
"I know, but how should I ask for her forgiveness?"
Samuel humbly asked for advice.
Phoenix shook her head and said, "It's not easy. Once one gets hurt, it'll be difficult to get over it. Nicole
is devoted to you, so she won't leave you. However, she might need a long time to recover from the
pain."
"How long?"
"I don't know. Maybe a week or a month. Or maybe a year or two. Anyway, she will be fine in the end.
You can rest assured."
Phoenix patted Samuel's shoulder as a comfort.
Samuel was depressed.
He almost couldn't bear it for a day, yet he had to endure for a month or even a year?
Was Phoenix joking?
"Davon is good at developing strategy and tactics. I will recommend a cadre to the military for a
peacekeeping mission later. Davon is the ideal candidate for the task."
Samuel said calmly, and Phoenix got anxious.
"Mr. Green, don't do this. I just married Davon. We haven't taken our marriage leave yet."
"Soldiers don't have marriage leave. I'm recovering from an injury now, so I can just leave my work to
Davon. The higher-ups won't object."
"Mr. Green!"
Phoenix raised her voice.
"Mr. Green, you can't do this. Nicole doesn't talk to you, but it's not my fault. Why do you punish me?"
"Well, I'm a petty person. Now I'm upset, but you actually show how close you're to Davon. It makes
me feel worse."
Samuel said in a flat tone.
Phoenix felt aggrieved.
She didn't show off her relationship with Davon.
What led Samuel to think that?
"Mr. Green, I have no idea."
"I'm going to call Mr. Morty now. I suddenly remembered that I haven't reported Davon's credit yet."
As he spoke, Samuel took out his phone.
Phoenix grabbed his hand and pleaded, "Mr. Green, please don't do this. I'll think about it now."
"Two minutes."
Samuel put on a faint smile.
Phoenix really regretted having come to the Green's.
"Mr. Green, two minutes is not enough."
"I only want the result."
"You can give her what she wants."
Phoenix cracked her brains and finally came up with an idea.
Samuel was puzzled.
"What do you mean? Nicole hasn't painted lately."
Samuel recalled that Nicole spent most of her time on Laurel's flowers these days. It seemed that she
had lost interest in drawing, let alone designing a car.
Phoenix's mind was racing.
"Is Nicole keen on something these days, like TV plays or...?"
"No!"
Samuel suddenly recollected the tweet Nicole had sent the other day.
He wished he could tear Miguel to pieces, so he wouldn't arrange a meeting for Nicole and Miguel just
to get her forgiveness.
Samuel would never do that.
Phoenix didn't know about the tweet, so she was baffled by Samuel's intense reaction.
"Mr. Green, why do you say no? If you want Nicole to forgive you, you'd better make her feel better."
Samuel frowned tightly. He hated this idea, but then he heard a tiny inner voice.
'Miguel is only Nicole's idol.'
'You can just ask Miguel to give Nicole his autograph. He won't dare to do anything to Nicole in your
place.'
Thinking of this, Samuel felt that this idea might work.
"Is this really a good idea?"
"Just give it a try. Otherwise, you can never be reconciled with Nicole. I've been in your room for a
while, but Nicole didn't come to see you. I guess she didn't talk to you at all these days, right?"
Samuel was hurt by Phoenix's remark.
Nicole had ignored him for three days.
He was eager to end it as soon as possible.
"Alright, I'll think about it."
"Mr. Green, good luck. I'll go home now."
Phoenix strode out of Samuel's room.
'Oh my God! I shouldn't have come here, and then I wouldn't be tortured by Samuel.'
Phoenix rushed out of Samuel's room, looking as if there was a ghost chasing after her. Nicole saw this
and was bewildered.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing, I'm gonna go home now. I'll see you another day. Or you can come to me when you get
better. There's no need to walk me out."
Phoenix ran away in a hurry.
Nicole was a little confused.
What happened?
Did Samuel vent his anger on Phoenix?
Nicole only shook her head. She didn't go up to see Samuel.
Samuel was hesitating whether to accept Phoenix's suggestion. After a while, he called Ernesto to
invite Miguel over.
It was agonizing for Samuel to make such a decision.
Ernesto called Samuel back soon.
"Mr. Green, Miguel has a date with Mr. Tim. Recently, he is quite busy. He might not be able to come
here."
"What? When did I have to queue up to invite an actor?"
Samuel was getting angrier.
Ernesto shrank back, not knowing what to do.
"Why don't we ask Laurence to have a try?"
Samuel was furious now. Ernesto didn't want to be scolded, so he immediately thought of Laurence.
Ernesto indeed put forward a good suggestion.
"What is Laurence busy with recently? Didn't he know that Nicole was injured so badly? Why hasn't he
come to visit Nicole yet?"
If Laurence came, he could speak up for Samuel.
Now, Samuel saw everyone as his life-saving straw.
Ernesto said, "After the previous incident, Laurence felt that he wasn't strong enough. So he leaves the
Night Elf Empire to me and Alison. And he went to the island for training with Cara. Now it has been a
few days. How about I call him back?"
"No need. Just let them concentrate on their training."
Laurence did need more practice, for he would be the lead of Night Elf Empire later. He had to be
stronger, and no one could help him with that. Moreover, he was Nicole's man, so it wasn't appropriate
to ask him to come back now.
Samuel hung up the phone dejectedly.
Was there nothing he could do?
He was rather upset. Suddenly, he heard Tim's voice from outside.
"Nicole, I came to see you. How are you today? Do you feel good?"
Nicole couldn't help but smile at the sight of Tim and Evelyn.
"What are you doing here?"
"Not just us. Guess who is here too?"
Nicole grinned as Tim pretended to be mysterious.
"I can't guess that. Are you bringing a handsome guy here?"
"Bingo! You're right!"
"Come in," Tim said.
Then a tall man walked in.
Nicole looked at the person in front of her. She felt the man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember
where she had seen him for a moment.
"This is...?"
"Don't you know him?"
Tim was a little surprised, and Evelyn was laughing.
Nicole rubbed her head awkwardly and said, "I can't recall who he is for a moment."
"Hello, Mrs. Green. I'm Miguel. Nice to meet you."
Nicole was astonished.
Holy shit!
She never expected to meet Miguel, especially in her house!
"Have a seat! Baron, fetch the guests some tea!"
Nicole was a little excited.
"I like your TV plays a lot. They're really good. Can I take a picture with you?"
Miguel nodded.
Samuel was irritated by their conversation.
'Tim, you're dead!'
Phoenix had just come up with a good idea for Samuel, but Tim wrecked his plan. Moreover, Tim
actually brought Miguel to his house. How dared he!
Samuel wheeled himself out.
"Who's here?"
His voice was a little cold, and his eyes were sharp. As soon as he entered the living room, the
atmosphere here got tense.
However, Nicole did not even look at him. She took out her phone and adjusted the focus. Then she
put her hand on Miguel's shoulder and pressed the shutter release.
"Amazing! Thank you! Would you like to have lunch with us later?"
As Nicole invited in delight, Samuel's face was dark with rage.
