Tim was also as confused as Samuel. However, they had already quit the military, so they couldn’t
know many details.
“All right. I’m just telling you about this matter without any other thoughts. You should be prepared.
After all, Jacob was your soldier before.”
Tim heaved a sigh and patted Samuel on his shoulder.
Right then, Olivia came over.
Seeing Olivia, Nicole stood up happily and walked to her.
“You’re pregnant. Why did you insist on coming over?”
“Of course. It’s your cousin’s wedding. I must come over to send my regards, getting more attention for
my career,” Olivia said with a smile.
They hadn’t met each other for over six months. Nicole could tell that Olivia had gained much weight
but smiled more.
For Olivia, it was God’s gift for her to have a baby of her own, and the baby’s father was Jacob. She
was quite satisfied and had no regret in her life.
Nicole hurriedly helped her to sit down. She said to Evelyn who was sitting aside, “Evelyn, you’ve
known each other quite a long time ago, and now you’ve become mothers at the same time. That’s true
fate.”
Evelyn was also surprised to see Olivia’s belly. She said with a smile, “We truly have a fate. When is
your expected date of childbirth?”
“In November, almost the New Year.”
Upon hearing Olivia’s answer, Evelyn paused a bit. In a hurry, she said, “Me too. Which day?”
“The fourth.”
“Mine is the fifth.”
Evelyn was so surprised to find that her expected date would be so close to Olivia’s. The two mothers-
to-be started discussing their pregnancy, ignoring Nicole.
Nicole was a bit speechless. Seeing Samuel was standing not far away, she stood up and walked over.
“What happened?” Samuel looked at her and asked.
Nicole heaved a sigh. “I’m ignored by the two mothers-to-be. I’d better come to my hubby.”
“It’s alright. I won’t mind you.”
Samuel’s words amused her.
They went to grab some food in the dining area hand-in-hand.
When Nicole was full, Samuel whispered, “Something might happen to Jacob.”
“Pardon me?”
Nicole’s heart tightened. She couldn’t help but look over Olivia.
“Stop looking at her.”
Samuel forcibly turned her face back and whispered, “Olivia is pregnant for six months. She’s in a
critical moment now. If she got emotional, no one could guarantee what would happen to her. You can’t
tell her about it.”
“But, there’s something that could be hidden as long as we want. What if the media...”
“The media wouldn’t report it,” whispered Samuel, “The top would only suppress such news instead of
report it. After all, the soldiers’ dependants are waiting for the soldiers to come back. To calm them
down, the top won’t expose it so early until there is a final ending.”
“An ending? So it doesn’t have an ending now, does it?”
“No. So far, no news has come out. No one knew if they are still alive. However, no news is good news,
isn’t it?”
Samuel was a bit worried.
Jacob had left for six months. This was the first time that they received news about him, but much to
their surprise, it turned out to be bad news.
Nicole felt quite frustrated.
“Don’t be bothered. You can’t help with this matter anyway. Let’s just wait for further news. Just keep
the news from Olivia recently. She finally got a child and she must be expecting to give Jacob a
surprise after he comes back. Now this matter happened. We must hide it from her first.”
“Okay.”
Samuel nodded.
More and more guests had arrived, most of them were relevant to Nicole and Samuel. It had become
quite crowded and lively.
Zayn’s wedding would be held in three days. The guests were gathering here casually, so they were
pretty relaxed.
When Tony arrived, Samuel slightly frowned.
He knew that Davon was Tony’s senior. Tony was the first client when Nicole restarted her design
business. However, this client was so troublesome that Samuel even wanted to beat him up.
“Let’s go to have a seat over there.”
Samuel lead Nicole and was about to leave, but Tony had a sharp sight and found them.
“Hi, Catherine!”
Upon hearing how Tony addressed his wife, Samuel was quite unhappy. That was also why he didn’t
like Tony.
Tony knew Nicole was Mrs. Green, but he never addressed her that way. Instead, in Samuel’s
presence, Tony kept calling her Catherine. Although it was not wrong, Samuel was quite unhappy
about it.
Nicole paused a bit, only to find that Tony was trotting to her. She cast a glance at Samuel. Surely
enough, she noticed the strong dislike and disdain in his eyes.
Nicole burst into laughter immediately.
“Stop laughing.”
Samuel was speechless.
Nicole said with a smile, “You are too petty. There’s nothing between him and me.”
“If there were anything between you two, how could he still be here? I have already tossed him into the
Pacific Ocean as the fish feed.”
Samuel’s arrogant look attracted Nicole a lot. If they hadn’t been in public, she would hold his face and
pecked him.
“All right. Just calm down.”
“For your sake.”
Samuel released Nicole. Watching Tony trot over, he turned away in anger.
“Catherine, why did your husband leave?”
“You should know why.”
After getting along with Tony in the past six months, Nicole found that he was a nice man but quite into
the guilty pleasure. He called her Catherine because he didn’t like Samuel and deliberately did so.
However, Nicole didn’t dare to tell Samuel about the reason, afraid that Samuel would be pissed.
Tony didn’t care at all. He asked, “How long are you staying here?”
“Stop beating around the bush.”
Nicole didn’t believe that Tony would come to her without any request.
Tony said with a smile, “My team will race in a few days. If you have time, could you please check my
car’s performance for me?”
“All your cars are racing cars particularly designed by me. Why can’t you rest assured?”
Nicole was quite speechless.
Tony said solemnly, “It’s because you’ve designed them, your inspection will make me feel secure.”
“All right.”
Nicole didn’t have many things to deal with in the following days, so she was willing to help him and
agreed.
Upon hearing it, Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
“You are the best.”
“Save it! You’d better not bother Olivia when you are free. Honestly speaking, do you have a crush on
Olivia? I’m warning you she’s still married. You’d better leave her alone.”
Looking at Nicole’s alert look, Tony choked up.
“Oh, please! What made you think I have a crush on Olivia Kent?”
“Then why do you always keep an eye on her?”
Nicole’s question troubled Tony.
