Chapter 430 Samuel Never Cared About the Don Family

Zoe then realized that she had done something wrong.

She obediently followed behind Nicole. But from time to time, she looked at Lucas with tears in his
eyes. Suddenly, Zoe asked in a low voice, "Mommy, did I do something wrong?"

"No, you’re a good kid."

Nicole picked up Zoe and meanwhile pulled the suitcase out of the living room.

Jacob was waiting outside. Seeing Nicole come out, he hurriedly took the suitcase from her.

"Ms. Nicole, please leave it to me."

"OK, thank you."

Then Nicole carried Zoe into the car.

Zoe suddenly felt that the pineapple buns in her hands were not so delicious.

She looked out of the window and asked nervously, "Mommy, when are we coming back? Lucas didn't
mean to lie to you. And I was deliberately going against Lucas just now. Maybe his stomach hurts."

Hearing what Zoe said, Nicole touched her hair and said, "Lucas is fine with your daddy there. Well,
you don’t like to go to your grandma's with me?"

"No, you have quarreled with daddy, and Lucas is very sad. It is not good for us to leave just like this,
isn’t it?"

Zoe finally understood something.



Nicole replied gently, "I didn't quarrel with your daddy. We just disagree with each other. Did you see
that I quarrel with him?"

"No. I heard one of my friends from kindergarten say that her daddy and mommy quarrel every day.
They shout at and even fight with each other. But you and daddy didn’t do that."

Zoe tilted her head, trying her best to understand the concept of quarrel.

In her memory, her daddy and mommy had never quarreled before.

"That's right, so your daddy and I didn't quarrel."

Nicole calmly cajoled Zoe.

She did not quarrel with Samuel, but they had fallen into the silent treatment.

As Nicole thought this, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and even heartbroken.

Jacob got in the car and heard what Nicole said to Zoe. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he
gave up.

The car drove towards the Bush’s.

Zoe was still thinking about what happened just before. But when they passed by a fried-chicken shop,
she suddenly asked for a drumstick. So, Jacob had to stop the car and buy some for her.

At that moment, nothing was as important as a drumstick to Zoe.

Looking at her daughter being such a foodie, Nicole was touched.

‘Thank God, Zoe was fine!’



It was a close call.

Just as Nicole was holding Zoe and waiting for Jacob, the car door suddenly opened. Then, a man
squeezed in, startling Nicole.

She hugged Zoe tightly and couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"

"Me..."

Tim hurriedly took off his hat.

Seeing that it was Tim, Nicole let out a sigh of relief.

"What are you doing? Why are you sneaky? Someone may gossip that something has happened
between you and me."

The news about the photo spread throughout the Seapolis City. Although Samuel had explained it
through Swift, people might don’t believe it. Moreover, people would say something about the
interaction between Tim and Nicole.

Now that Tim had suddenly appeared, Nicole was naturally a little worried.

She looked around and realized that no one was paying attention, then she heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Tim smiled bitterly, "Are you really afraid that people would gossip about you and me?"

"No, but it is special times. I..."

Nicole realized that she was making a fuss.

Previously, when she was staying at Tim's casino, Nicole didn't scruple like this.



She was not afraid that others would suspect her relationship with Tim, but afraid that Samuel would
suspect and misunderstand.

Thinking of Samuel, Nicole was very upset.

Although Nicole was angry that Samuel used her child and her, she still couldn't help but think about
Samuel at that moment.

Such a behavior annoyed Nicole, but she was helpless to it.

Seeing Nicole being confused, Tim couldn't help but ask, "Hey, What’s wrong?"

"I’m OK, I'm going to take Zoe back to my mother's. Why are you here? You can just give me a call."

"If I can get through to you, I won't follow behind your car."

Tim stunned Nicole by saying that.

She suddenly touched her pocket and realized that her phone was missing.

Perhaps Nicole had left it in the Green's.

Nicole was a little annoyed. She was too careless.

"Sorry, I might have left the phone at home."

"Forget it."

Tim could tell that Nicole was unhappy and encountered something bad. However, he didn't point it out.
Tim just whispered, "I can't stay here for too long. That Jacob isn't easy to deal with, and I don't want to
see him. Earlier, I told Samuel that I had something to tell you, but he didn't allow me to see you. It's
fine if it's just something ordinary. But it is a little tricky, so I have to tell you."



Hearing Tim's words, Nicole paused for a moment.

Samuel didn't mention anything about Tim wanting to see her.

It seemed that Samuel disliked her being with Tim.

She knew that Samuel would become jealousy easily. Nicole had mixed emotions about this.

"What is it?"

Nicole knew that Tim wouldn't do this if it wasn't something particularly important.

Although Zoe was a little foodie, she was very obedient and quiet when adults spoke.

Tim looked at Zoe, smiled, and rubbed her hair, saying, "Zoe is getting much prettier."

"Thank you, Uncle Tim!"

Every girl liked to hear others praise her beauty, so did Zoe. Soon, she smiled happily because of Tim’s
praise.

Then Zoe was a little shy, and she no longer stared at them. Instead, she turned to look out the window
and said anxiously, "Why doesn’t Uncle Tim come back? When will he buy the drumstick I want?"

"Soon, take it easy."

Nicole comforted Zoe, but she heard Tim say in a very low voice, "When I found Ryan, I found that he
was an addict. Over the years, he had done a lot of bad things for Swift. I heard that Swift took some
drugs from him a while ago. I don't know who she gave it to. But she said that it was a woman, who
was about twenty years old and looked pretty. I thought it might be Viola. If Swift gave those drugs to
Viola, who would she possibly use it on?"



What Tim said shocked Nicole again.

She and Viola had nothing to do with each other. Even if Viola wanted to harm Nicole, she would not
enter the Green family's courtyard, nor would she get close to Nicole.

There was only one person she could get close to, who was defenseless at all.

That was Mrs. Don!

Nicole's eyes suddenly widened from the shock.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time and I've been hesitating to tell you. I know that you are not
in a good relationship with the Don family, but it's up to you whether you inform her or not."

After Tim finished speaking, Nicole fell silent.

Last time, she had lost a child in order to get the medicine for Mrs. Don. But Mrs. Don wasn’t grateful to
her. Then, would she inform the Don family?

Nicole had no idea and was very confused.

"Why don’t you tell Samuel about this?"

Tim paused for a moment because of Nicole's words. Then he continued, "What does the Don family
have to do with Samuel? He never cared about the Don family. I just don't want you to have any
regrets."

"Thank you, Tim."

Nicole thanked Tim from the bottom of her heart.



Yes.

Samuel never cared about the Don family.

However, he cared about her.

But Samuel even used Nicole, who he cared so much, to catch Swift and force the Don family into such
a desperate situation. Would he still care about Mrs. Don's well-being?

Of course not!

Nicole then had more fixed emotions.

Seeing that Jacob had bought drumsticks, Tim hurriedly said, "I have to go. Call me anytime."

"Alright."

As soon as Nicole finished speaking, Tim put on his hat, hurriedly opened the car door, and left.

Seeing someone leave the car from afar, Jacob couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Are you alright, Ms. Nicole?"

"I’m OK, I met a friend. And I asked her to come over and have a chat."

Nicole acted very calmly.

Jacob couldn't see anything wrong, but he was a little nervous.

"Ms. Nicole, it's better for you to stay away from others now."

"I see."



"Uncle Jacob, where is my drumstick?"

Zoe had been staring at the drumsticks in Jacob's hand ever since he got on the car, and now she was
about to drool.

Since Zoe said that, Jacob could not say anything else but pass a big drumstick to Zoe.

"Please slow down. It's a little hot."

"Don’t worry!"

Zoe anxiously took it over and took a bite. She got her lips greasy because of the soup on the
drumstick, but Zoe ignored it totally.

Seeing her daughter like this, Nicole was amused.

"Easy, easy. This isn't a race."

Nicole pulled out a napkin to wipe Zoe's mouth. Zoe smiled very contentedly as if the drumstick in her
hand was the most precious thing in the world.

Seeing their interaction, Jacob stopped saying anything anymore. He then continued to drive towards
the Bush’s.

Because the incident about Swift was publicized by the media, the reporters at the entrance of the
Bush’s had left. And the photo issue about Nicole was clarified. It was said that Swift had escaped and
that her whereabouts were currently unknown.

People changed their comments on Nicole. Many believed that a virtuous person like Nicole, wouldn’t
do such a thing. Some even held that the woman Samuel liked would not have bad moral character.

All of a sudden, all the trends changed.



Nicole knew that the Green Family's PR team had done something about the trends that had changed,
but it wasn’t important.

She brought Zoe back to the Bush's. The moment she opened the door and saw Ms. Bush and Dad
Bush, her eyes were suddenly full of tears.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

Nicole sobbed as she watched as Dad Bush and Ms. Bush walked towards her. At that moment, she
realized that their temples had turned white.

Just as she was about to hug them, a figure suddenly rushed out and headed towards Zoe.
