Chapter 775 This Guy Was Simply Showing off

Nicole and Samuel got to the dessert house. Seeing all the customers here were young couples, Nicole
felt a little embarrassed.

She tugged at Samuel's sleeve and whispered, "Forget it. Look at this place. The customers are all
teenagers or young men in their early twenties. This place is not for us!"

Samuel looked around and smiled, "Aren't you young? We're also in our twenties, and we're not yet
thirty years old."

Nicole immediately laughed.

"How shameless! You're just about to turn thirty, and yet you're still pretending to be young."

"We're not thirty anyway. Besides, who knows that if we don't talk about it? Look, you're so young and
beautiful, and I'm so handsome and cool. What a perfect match we're! Age doesn't matter at all. If you
still feel awkward, I'll book the whole place, or I can buy it for you."

"No! There's no need to do that. I didn't mean it. I like to enjoy the food with others. Don't make me look
like a parvenu. I can't stand it."

Hearing that Samuel wanted to book the whole restaurant, Nicole got instantly scared.

"Then shall we go in now?"

Samuel looked at Nicole and asked with a smile.

Nicole felt that he had definitely done it on purpose.

"Samuel, why are you becoming so oily and glib now? Who did you learn this from?"



"To treat my wife well and make her happy, isn't that what I should do as a husband? There's nothing
oily at all! These are all words from the bottom of my heart."

"Stop! If you continue talking like that, I really can't eat anything."

Nicole recovered from her upset and felt a lot better.

She took a deep breath and walked in bravely with Samuel.

Given her age, she had worried about the embarrassment when others saw her have dessert here. But
after coming in, she realized that no one was paying attention to her at all.

Samuel brought Nicole to the table by the window and sat down.

The waiter soon walked over.

"Good afternoon. What would you like to order?"

"Two doughnuts, a banana split and..."

Nicole interrupted him before he finished speaking.

"Sorry, my husband has ordered too much. Just one banana split for me."

"Yes, madam. One moment, please."

The waiter left smilingly.

Looking at Nicole, Samuel smiled, "You ordered too little. It's not even enough for Zoe."

"I'm not Zoe. Besides, I have to go back for dinner later. I've promised Uncle Mark that."

Her words set him pausing for a while.



"Why do I feel as if we were still not married? You go home on time for dinner every day. What about
me? I'm your husband!"

Samuel's words carried a trace of coquetry.

Nicole laughed immediately.

"Why there seems a sense of bitterness here? Where is it from?"

"Nicole, let me tell you why. You've neglected me for too long."

Samuel protested seriously.

Nicole got kind of ashamed by what he said. It seemed that she really had cared little about Samuel
recently for the sake of the draft.

"Didn't you say you intended to reorganize the Green family? I just want to save your time."

"Come on. You're simply happy to stay at the Don's with the kids."

Nicole couldn't deny what he said.

Recently at the Don's, Mark and Jason had taken good care of her two children, so she could devote
herself to the design. She had been actually quite comfortable.

"I'm sorry. I've failed to fulfill my duty as a wife. How about this? I'll go to the supermarket to buy some
food later, and then I'll cook something for you at home."

Samuel's eyes lit up with her words.

"Don't go back tonight. Mark is taking care of the children. Why don't we just enjoy the night together?"



Nicole's face instantly flushed. She quickly covered Samuel's mouth. Then she looked left and right,
and heaved a sigh of relief after finding no one was paying attention to them.

"Can you be more implicit when speaking outside?"

Nicole glared at Samuel coquettishly.

Samuel was somewhat aggrieved and said, "Am I not implicit enough? You haven't seen my explicit
side. Why don't we give it a try?"

"No! That's too shameful."

Nicole's face turned kind of scarlet.

Seeing her so cute, Samuel couldn't help but lean forward and give her a peck.

Nicole's face instantly turned quite scarlet.

"Stop that."

"Alright, let's do it later at home."

As he spoke, the waiter brought the banana split.

Looking at the banana split, Nicole thought about what Samuel had just said. She suddenly didn't know
how to eat it.

"Well, I'd better not eat this."

"Have some. It's fine. It's delicious."

Samuel scooped up some dessert and handed it to Nicole's mouth.



It had been many years since Nicole had the experience of being fed, so she couldn't help but feel a
little shy.

"I'll do it myself."

She hurriedly grabbed the spoon in Samuel's hand. However, Samuel stared at her so keenly that it
made Nicole unable to eat it.

"Forget it. Let's go to the supermarket to buy some groceries."

"Are you feeling better?"

"Yes, of course. Definitely."

On such an occasion, Nicole could do nothing but say she was better. She definitely didn't want any
more trouble.

Samuel showed a sly smile as Nicole called Mark to ask for leave and said that she would not go back
this night.

Mark was really good at nagging. After knowing Nicole would follow Samuel home, he still instructed a
lot of things. Samuel hung up directly.

"Hey, you're being rude. He's my uncle anyway."

"Come on. It's going to be dawn if you keep listening. Let's go to the supermarket."

Samuel held Nicole's hand and walked towards the supermarket not far away.

They bought some ingredients, went back home and made a loving dinner. Then they went to the bed
for something sweet.



When the morning sunshine went through the window, Samuel woke up while Nicole was still asleep.

He prepared some food for Nicole, put it in the pot, gave Claudina and then left the house.

He has other things to do today.

Samuel felt that he really needed to deal with the things quickly and then bring his wife and children
back. Otherwise, he would become like a monk soon. He did make it with her last night. But it was not
good for the husband-wife and parent-child relationships if they continued to meet once every ten days
or so.

"Don't wake her up. Let her sleep until she wakes naturally. She has probably been tired these days for
the draft. Heat up the food after she wakes up."

Samuel instructed.

Claudina nodded.

He drove out of the house, only to find Tim at the door.

"Why are you squatting in front of my house in the early morning?"

Seeing Tim's haggard expression, Samuel did not taunt him.

Seeing Samuel come out, Tim looked inside and said, "Yesterday I said something harsh. Is she alright
now?"

"How is she possibly alright? You scolded my wife. She cried. Is that alright?"

"What? She cried? I'll go in to see her."



Tim was about to enter when Samuel grabbed his arm.

"She's asleep. Is it appropriate for you to enter?"

"Then..."

"Then what? Get in the car and let's go to eat something together. Look at you. You probably haven't
had breakfast, right?"

Samuel's words caused Tim to smile bitterly.

"Have breakfast? I don't have the appetite. I don't need that. Just let me sit in your car for a while. It's
quite cold outside."

Then he opened the car door and sat inside.

Samuel hurriedly turned on the heating.

He looked at Tim and sighed, "Is it worthwhile? You've exhausted yourself for a woman who plotted
against you and deceived you. You even scolded Nicole and made her cry. You really love Maia or
what?"

"It's not that. It's just I don't feel good about it. Samuel, you know what? I don't like to owe anybody
anything. But Maia is using her own life to treat me like this, I..."

"Don't think she's that great. She's about to die anyway. Besides, Nicole agreed with her to do so in
order to fulfill her wish. Think about it. How painful Maia must be now. The doctor has given her up, and
every minute she lives is torture. Moreover, she herself has little desire to live. A peaceful and happy
leaving is better than the painful living. The most regrettable thing in her life is that she can't be with
you. So she wants to do something for you and rid you of some obstacles before she dies. Do you
understand?"



Tim nodded at his words.

"I understand. I also know that Nicole isn't bad. But I was too emotional at that time and failed to think
about it."

"Fortunately, you didn't think about it. Otherwise, I couldn't have been reunited with her for one night."

Tim looked at Samuel and felt that this guy was simply showing off.

"Samuel, do you find it funny?"

"It's funny. Very funny! I'll tell you what--I hope that you can treat my wife badly, so I will..."

"Get lost!"

Tim swore at Samuel. Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a cigarette. I left in a hurry
and forgot to bring it with me."

"I've quit smoking recently. Nicole doesn't like the smell of cigarettes. I want to be a good husband."

Tim stared at Samuel, with his eyes as sharp as a blade. But the latter didn't care at all.

"I really quit it."

"That sucks."

Tim was about to get out of the car when Samuel stopped him.

"Well, do you need my help with Maia's funeral and stuff?"

"No. I can handle it myself. The priority is to find Trevin. I remember that Maia and Nicole once talked
about his location. We can go there then."



Tim's words immediately set Samuel nervous.

"I'm warning you. If you make my wife cry again, I'll beat you up no matter what kind of relation you're
to her. Do you hear me?"

"I get it. You sound as if I were happy to see her cry."

Tim finished speaking, got out of the car and closed the door. He looked up, only to see a familiar car
driving over.

The car stopped in front of Samuel's, while the person that got off the car changed Tim's expression.
