Chapter 38: I&##x27;ll tell you why today

“Ah!”



Nicole exclaimed and a hot body stuck to her.



Her flustered heart was dulled by the familiar smell.



At one time she was looking forward to close contact with Samuel rather than routine in the cold bed,
but until she was pregnant they never did.



Samuel felt only a sweet smell in his nose. The familiar smell was like the memory on the pillow in his
bedroom when he dreamed every night. He was immersed in it and felt that he was dreaming.



“Nicole...”



Samuel mumbled. His handsome face slowly approached Nicole's lips.



Suddenly, a sharp bell rang. Nicole woke up and pushed Samuel away. Her heart thumped and it was
as if her blood had come up and made her all hot. Her face was burning.





Samuel almost fell out of bed and woke up. But he had some regrets. He watched Nicole's cell phone
ringing all the time. He subconsciously wanted to get it. Nicole got it first.



“Allen?”



All of Nicole's fantasies and dreams disappeared when she saw Allen's name.



She just lost her mind!



How could she still have that fantasy about Samuel?



Nicole immediately sat up. Although it was difficult, she refused Samuel’s help and touch and
answered.



Allen’s voice came out immediately.





“Catherine, are you ok? I heard you had an accident. I want to see you, but Zoe is not in good condition
and I can't leave.”



Allen's voice was rapid, and the solicitude made Samuel uncomfortable.



Nicole had no time to take into account Samuel's face and thoughts at this time. When she heard that
Zoe was in a bad situation, Nicole was ina panic.



“How's Zoe? Is it serious?”



“Don't worry. Zoe is fine for the moment, but I can't leave her. You...”



“I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Allen, I just hurt my right leg. I only need to recuperate for a few days.
Just focus on Zoe.”



Nicole was thinking about Zoe now.





She was far away from her daughter and she couldn't take care of her. Only mothers could understand
the pain.



Samuel watched Nicole's eyes turn red and aggrieved. He became angry.



She was his wife! But now she was upset about another man’s phone call. What was her relationship
with Allen?



Allen wanted to say something to Nicole, but Samuel grabbed her cell phone directly. He said coldly,
“President Brook, take care of your family. As for Catherine, I will take good care of her here.”



“Samuel, what are you doing? You give me your cell phone back!”



Nicole was worried about Zoe and wanted to talk to Allen. If she could, she would like to chat with her
daughter, but she didn’t expect her cell phone to be grabbed by Samuel.



How could this man be so hateful?





Samuel didn't care what Nicole thought now. Jealousy made him out of control. Before Allen could say
anything, he hung up the phone and turned it off.



Nicole got angry.



“Samuel, are you crazy? It’s my cell phone. He is my boss and my friend. Why do you hang up?”



Nicole was like a cat with a tail trodden on. She was full of hostility, and the familiar eyes seemed to be
stabbing Samuel's heart.



“Why? I'll tell you why today!”



Samuel may have been stimulated.



He always thought Nicole was his wife. Even if her face had changed and she didn't want to admit it
now, she couldn't change that she was his wife!





She left for five years and now she was back. She was so close to another man in his presence. Did
she really think he was generous?



Samuel pulled Nicole and kissed her.



He missed her lips so much that his heart hurt. She played hide and seek with him and now she
wanted to seduce another man.



He didn't agree!



Samuel was stimulated and strong. Nicole couldn't break free and was caught off guard. When she was
kissed by Samuel, both of them were a little shocked.



A sense of familiarity ran through them and spread.



Samuel remembered Nicole's taste!



Even if her face had changed and she didn't admit it, he couldn't be wrong.





This was his wife!



Samuel greedily kissed Nicole and wanted to pass on his thoughts for five years to Nicole.



Nicole was shocked at first, and then she thought about the fire five years ago and the way Zoe was
dying every time.



This man didn't deserve it!



He didn't deserve it!



Nicole couldn't push Samuel away. She was angry and bit him.



Samuel felt a pain in the tip of his tongue. He unconsciously let go of Nicole. Then he was slapped in
the face.



“Samuel, you bastard!”





Nicole only felt her hands numb. Her whole arm seemed to be numb.



Sure enough, Samuel's face swelled in a flash.



Samuel didn't seem to feel it. He looked at Nicole and the hatred in her eyes. He remembered the
anxiety and gentleness she had just had when she received Allen's call. He was suffering.



“No matter what you want to do or what you want from me, I will give it to you as long as you Say it. But
I will never let you go!”

Samuel got up and left.



It happened that Jacob came and bumped into Samuel.



“President Green, your face...”



“Stop!”





Samuel glared at him and left the room.



There seemed to be a smell of Samuel in the air. Nicole refused to immerse herself in Samuel's words.



Samuel couldn't say that before, so now Samuel said it to her because she was a designer of HJ
Group. He wanted to use her and H’J Group to expand the international influence of Eternal Group.



It must be like this!



How else could Samuel say that to a strange woman?



Though she confused him, she knew more than anyone how ruthless Samuel was.



It took her three years but his heart didn't get warm. Her children’s lives were not enough for him to pity
her. Now how could Samuel be attracted by some doubts?



Nicole sneered, but there were tears in her eyes.





It was so painful to know a man she used to love with all her strength. The most sad thing was that he
never loved her! Even if he was good to her now, it was just because of her identity.



Men were merciless!



Nicole wiped away the tears and picked up the phone again. She turned it on and called Allen
immediately.



Allen answered immediately.



“Catherine, did he embarrass you?”



“No. In his opinion, I am a stranger now. Allen, how's Zoe? Is she getting worse?”



Nicole had been worried.



Allen smiled and said, “no, Zoe just breathed intermittently. I heard you had an accident and I was
worried. I asked my secretary to buy a plane ticket, but before I left, Zoe was a little upset and her heart



beat was a little unsteady, so I came back. Don't worry, Zoe is fine now.”



“Can I have a video call with her?”



“Yes, but isn't Samuel there?”



Allen was a little worried.



“He's out. Jacob is talking to him. I want to see Zoe.”



“OK, just a moment.”



Allen hung up and made a video call. Nicole answered immediately.



A little girl about four years old appeared on the screen at once.



She was beautiful and looked like a doll, but her complexion was too pale.





“Zoe.”



“Mommy!”



Zoe's voice was weak but joyful.



“Mommy, where are you and Lucas? Godfather said that you have gone abroad. Why don't you take
me with you?”



Zoe held a gray teddy bear and leaned against the bed. She pouted and complained.



Nicole just felt her heart broken.



“We are on a business trip and will stay here for a long time. I'll bring you toys and food when we go
back.”



“Mommy, did you not take me because I was not well?”





Zoe was alittle frustrated. Tears twinkled in her eyes.



“No. Mommy is really on a business trip. You can ask Godfather. Zoe, Mommy miss you very much and
likes you very much. When Mommy goes back, you'll be well. Mommy will take you around the world.
Mommy will take you wherever you want, OK?”



Nicole didn't want to cry. She didn't want her daughter to see her heartbreak, but she felt sad.



If she had known five years ago that Samuel was ruthless and she had given up the relationship, her
daughter would not suffer now.



Zoe had been in the hospital since she was born. She hadn't even been to the playground. She was in
great pain as her mother.



Zoe saw Nicole's tears and smiled, “Mommy, don't worry. I'll wait for you to come back. I’m going out
with Lucas then.”



“OK! Zoe, listen to Godfather. Mommy is going to work.”





“Goodbye, Mommy!”



Zoe waved at Nicole.



Nicole didn't want to cry. She hung up immediately, but she couldn't help crying.



At this time, Samuel pushed the door and came in.
