Chapter 269: I Love You

It all happened so suddenly that no one was prepared, especially Samuel.



He froze, Nicole froze, and Soseph nearby froze.



Nicole was the first one to respond. She grabbed her sleeve and wiped Samuel's face. "I'm sorry’ she
said, embarrassed, “I didn’t mean it. I."



"Drink the hot water quickly!"



Samuel took down her arm, not caring much about the drool on his face.



Nicole was even more embarrassed.



"Your face is all over my saliva”



"I know and I have tasted it. Drink water quickly"





With that, he almost forced hot water into Nicole's mouth.



Nicole felt speechless.



Did this man know there was a girl next to him?



What did he mean that he had tasted her drool?



It sounded very ambiguous.



But now Nicole couldn't argue with him, because Samuel had forced her to drink water.



As the hot water flowed down the esophagus, she felt every warm.



After Nicole finished drinking the water, Samuel cleaned his face and said to Soseph lightly, “If you
want to drink water, just

take it yourself”





Although he was cold and he did not address her, Soseph nodded gratefully and hurried over to pour a
cup of hot water into her hand, trying to feel the heat.



Nicole felt a bit distressed at the sight of it.



"She's just a girl. Can't you be gentle with her?"



"What do you mean by letting your man be gentle with another woman? Aren't you afraid of your man
cheating on you?”



Samuel glanced at her with an unhappy look.



Nicole was depressed.



Soseph was only 18 or so. Samuel was a little too defensive, wasn't he?



“Do you think you are so handsome that everyone will like you” Nicole said sarcastically.





Samuel gave a confident nod, which made Nicole blush.



How shameless the man was!



She peeked at Soseph and was relieved to see that she was not paying attention to them. She was
quietly drinking.



When Nicole tried to say anything else, Samuel simply whispered, “I'm going to get changed. Stay
under the covers and don't get a cold.’



"Just a quilt?" Nicole gave Soseph a look.



The little girl was shivering with cold, and though she was better after drinking the hot water, she still
looked pale.



Samuel gave her a cold stare and turned to go out.





Nicole thought that Samuel was a good man in every way, but he was too cold.



Even though they met by chance, it wouldn't matter much if they had extra supplies and gave some to
Soseph.



And Soseph was indeed pathetic.



Shortly after Samuel walked out, Nicole got up and rummaged in the closet. Sure enough, there was
another quilt and then

she handed it to Soseph.



Soseph was surprised, but whispered, "Thank you. But I don't need it, or your husband would be
unhappy:



Young as she was, she could see that Samuel took care of her for Nicole's sake.



Nicole laughed and said, “Don't bear that in mind. He's cold on the surface and he is not a bad man.
Just cover up and get



warm. Don't catch a cold"



Just then Nicole sneezed again.



Soseph took the quilt and whispered, "You should drink more hot water. There shouldn't be any
medicine here. I think you

have a cold. If you don’t take care of yourself, you will feel worse tomorrow:



Then Nicole really felt dizzy.



She thought she was too emotional after meeting Samuel, but she actually caught a cold.



Nicole nodded, feeling dazed, and went back to wrapping herself in the quilt.



Soseph poured another cup of hot water and handed it to Nicole.



"Thank you:





"I should be gratitude to you." Soseph whispered.



“Rarely have I seen a man treat a woman so well." She referred to Samuel.



Nicole smiled and said, “What's the good of him? He always puts on a poker face."



"He came to save you”



Soseph singled out this fact.



Nicole thought it nice to talk to Soseph, at least she didn't feel sleepy to talk to her.



She sat in a comfortable position and said, "The island is his. It seems to be his responsibility”



Nicole didn't want to tell Soseph too much. She was soft-hearted, but not stupid.





Soseph was surprised.



"Why did you run away when the whole island was his?"



"It's a long story, and you might not understand it. When we go out, you leave us and live your life. If
you need money or

something, we can lend you some”



"No.



Soseph could sense that Nicole didn’t want to say too much to her.



So was Samuel. The difference was that Samuel was more direct and Nicole was more kind-hearted.



Soseph returned to her place, rested under the covers and stopped talking. Soon, she fell asleep,
breathing so evenly that

Nicole envied her.





Was this this girl free and easy or was she able to take things as they came. Regardless of whether or
not she and Samuel would sell her, it was incredible to fall asleep defenseless.



Nicole got out of bed and went to Soseph, only to find that she had dark circles under her eyes. The girl
had not rested and was now very tired.



She bent down to put the quilt over her, and then she heard Samuel's voice behind her.



"Take away your unnecessary sympathy. She may live better than you to survive in the wild’



Nicole wondered when Samuel returned. Now he had dressed in clean clothes and looked good.



She suddenly felt that Samuel was handsome.



"Well, although I don't know what the most handsome in the world looks like, I think you should be
more handsome than him”



Samuel raised his lips slightly, caressed her hair gently and said, "You know how to make me happy"



"What I said is true, my man is always so handsome. That means I have good taste.”



Nicole smirked like a silly girl, but Samuel liked the way she looked at him. It was as if she only had him
in the eyes.



He picked her up in his arms, climbed back onto bed, pulled the covers over her, and held Nicole tight.
"You have a good

taste, but you don't have a heart. It's too cold for you to give your coat to an outsider”



Even though Nicole was much warmer, she was still a little chilly. Samuel was somewhat offended
when he said this.



She laughed and said, "She's still a child"



"She is a grown-up, not a child. She has breasts.”



Samuel's voice was not loud, but Nicole was stunned. Then she covered his mouth, looking back at
Soseph and whispering,





"What nonsense are you talking? If Soseph hears you, she would think you are a jerk:



“It's better to think so, so that she could leave us as soon as possible and save a lot of troubles”



This was true of Samuel, and he seemed to think Soseph was a problem.



Nicole whispered, "Can't you be more sympathetic? I was sold abroad by Zama and I know what
happened to those people

when they were sold. Soseph is still so young.”



“Everyone has their own destiny. If that happens, how many people can you save?"



“Then I can't turn a blind eye to that. If I don’t know about it, it would be fine. But when I know it, I can’t
turn a blind eye to it”



Nicole insisted on that.

That was her strong point, kind and pure.





Samuel didn't want to impose his ideas on Nicole. It was not easy to have such goodness, and that's
what he liked about her.



When Samuel stopped speaking, Nicole knew that he was not agreeing with her ideas, but was too
lazy to argue with her.



For Samuel's thoughts, Nicole was helpless.



“How miserable do you think I would be if you didn't fall in love with me?"



"What do you mean?"



"You are so cold to strangers. If you love a girl her, but for someone you don't care, you are really very
cold. So, don't blame

others for saying you that you are heartless”



Nicole pursed her mouth, as though she was dissatisfied with Samuel.





Samuel was indifferent, ‘It's enough to have such a warm-hearted person as you are in the family”



It sounded pleasant to the ears, and Nicole felt warm inside her heart.



"Say something nice again’



"No!" Samuel shut up.



Nicole laughed and said, "Say more, like those three words!”



"What three words?” Samuel looked puzzled for a moment.



Nicole scolded him as a bonehead and said, "I love you!"



"I see!





Samuel's lips rose slightly as he spoke.



And then Nicole found out that she had been tricked by Samuel.



“No, I asked you to say you loved me”



"You have already known it. Why should I say it?”



Samuel didn't say a word, but he smiled all the more.



Nicole knew she was being teased and said, "I don't believe you'll never say that to me’



Samuel said nothing, but changed the subject, “How did you get yourself into such a state when you
were resting in your room? Did you find out about the mole inside the base? Or what have they done to
you?"



Samuel's face darkened at the thought of what had happened just after he had left Nicole.
