Chapter 789 I Don&##x27;t Want to Depend on You

"What's wrong?"

Samuel was startled.

"I have to participate in the preliminaries. It won't work if I keep sleeping all day. I can't be like this
anymore. You know I have dreamed about taking part in the competition. But now I am pregnant," said
unpleasantly Nicole, touching her belly.

The more she talked about it, the sadder she felt. Nicole finally leant on Samuel's shoulder and burst
into tears.

Nicole found herself sensitive and emotional after she got pregnant. She didn't want to cry, but it was
out of her control.

Samuel couldn't help but laugh at her.

"It doesn't matter. We've still gotten a month before the competition begins. You won't sleep for a
month, right?"

"Then what if I do?"

Nicole's watery big eyes twinkled at him, which touched the heart of Samuel.

"Take it easy. With your talent, you don't even have to work hard. Besides, you have already finished
the first draft of your design paper, haven't you? I will touch it up if you are not satisfied with it."

"No. I have to do it by myself. I don't want you to help me."

Nicole puckered her lips, looking much like Zoe. Samuel was fascinated by her.

He lowered his head and gave her a kiss.



"What are you doing?"

Nicole blushed and pushed him away.

Samuel liked to see her like this.

"Well, what about we give it up, if that's what you want. We can't let this unborn baby stand in its
mommy's way, can we?"

When Samuel said this, Nicole was anxious.

"What do you mean by this? It is our baby! It is not easy to get the baby. How could you say that? You
are awful!"

Then she saw Samuel smiling at her mischievously, so she understood that he was joking with her.

"Samuel, stop kidding!"

She tried to give him a punch.

Samuel held her hand and put it on his chest, saying softly, "Actually, you are happy with the
pregnancy, aren't you? Between the design competition and the baby, you chose the latter in the first
place. I know that you think it is a pity to give up the competition for the baby. That's why you want to
hear my opinion. But Nicole, no matter what I say, you've already made a choice, haven't you?"

Nicole didn't answer him. Samuel knew her so well.

"Samuel, I'm pregnant now. Can't you just say something nice for my comfort?"

Seeing that Nicole was annoyed, he changed his attitude at once, "Alright, it's my fault. But I don't think
being pregnant will affect you. You can win the competition."



"Really?"

"Sure. You are Nicole Bush, the prominent automobile designer, aren't you? But it might be a little bit
hard to finish the second round. Honey, you have to consider about it. If you really want to participate,
the baby should..."

"I will make a plan. Don't worry."

Nicole knew what she wanted.

The baby was important to her and Samuel, but it didn't mean that she would have to give up the
design competition. Confronting the situation, she had to keep a balance. She believed she could do it.

Samuel felt sorry for her, "In fact, even if you're not a designer, I will assure that you and the baby
would lead a happy life!"

"I know you are responsible and trustworthy. You won't let me and the baby suffer from any woes. But
Samuel, I don't want to depend on you, because I am afraid that one day when you talk about finance
and fashion, I would know nothing about it, sitting there like an idiot. Love at first sight won't last long if
the lovers don't communicate with each other. I don't want to be left behind. I want us to work hard,
keep up with the times and do something together. I want to stand next to you as your best partner, not
just an eye candy. Do you know what I mean? Perhaps I want too much but it is because I respect
myself too much."

When she was speaking, Samuel patted her head.

"I understand. You can do whatever you want. I have no objections. Just don't be too tired."

"Thank you, Samuel."

Nicole held Samuel tightly.



She knew that Samuel allowed her to do anything she wanted because he loved her. Love made him a
tolerant and understanding man. He was different from those rich men who would never let their wives
get out to work.

Grateful to Samuel for his generosity, Nicole decided to achieve something and give birth to the baby
safe and sound. Only in this way could she live up to Samuel's love for her.

"What would you like to eat? Gabrielle said you will probably get hungry this time of day. I'll make
something easy to digest."

Nicole had slept for long and didn't eat anything, so Samuel felt so sorry for her.

She was with baby now.

Nicole was weaker than others, which worried Samuel.

He was not sure if her body could stand it for ten months.

Thinking of this, Samuel hesitated for a moment and said, "Nicole, I know you are weak. If you feel
really bad, you must tell me. Don't stick it out yourself. I care much more about you than the baby. It is
okay for me to be without a kid, but it isn't without you. Actually, we've already had a son and a
daughter. It is okay without this one, right? So..."

"Stop, Samuel. There is no such thing as an accident for me. Don't worry. I know my condition and I'll
take care of myself. I know very well what you're worried about. Trust me, it won't happen. I'm still
looking forward to travelling around the world with you. I promise I will be fine."

Nicole understood that Samuel was concerned about her so much.

But the baby had come, she would not give it up. Last time, she had lost her baby because of Zama.
This time, the baby was a gift from God for her and Samuel. In any case, she wouldn't give it up.



Seeming Nicole was so determined, Samuel stopped talking about it.

"I'll go downstairs and get you something to eat."

"Great, honey. I want to eat something sour. Can you make me some hawthorn?"

Nicole had wanted to eat something sour in these days, but she is so busy that she couldn't buy herself
anything sour. Now that Samuel knew that she was pregnant, she acted like a spoiled child before him.

Samuel could do anything for his dear wife.

"Yes, sweetheart, I'll go get that for you in a minute."

He smiled and left the room.

Walking along the corridor, Samuel recalled what he did five years ago. At that time, they hadn't been
so close yet. She had to go to the hospital alone for antenatal tests.

Back then, she must have been exhilarated as now when she found out about her pregnancy.
However, she had to see him with Riley in the hospital who was pregnant.

The more Samuel thought about it, the more he felt he was an asshole.

Why had he been so arrogant and apathetic?

Thank God for giving another chance to him. This time, he decided to make it up for Nicole.

Then Samuel took out his phone and called his assistant.

"Justin, contact me online recently unless there is something urgent that needs my signature. Tell all
managers to handle their things on their own."



"Yes, Mr. Green."

After hanging up the phone, Samuel went to the kitchen.

Nicole looked at her belly and delivered a loving smile.

She's going to be a mother!

It was different from five years ago. With her husband's care and the company of the children, she felt
complete.

However, she got the jitters for she was not sure if the children would like the baby or not.

When she thought of that, she sighed. Then she remembered that her design draft was still in the
Don's. She had planned to go get it herself, but now she got pregnant. So Nicole called Mark.

"Uncle Mark, my design is in the bedside cabinet in the room. Please send someone over to deliver it
to me."

Mark was at work, so he said, "Go home and get it yourself. Design draft is very important for you, what
if someone spread it out? Or you let Samuel get it. He has the key."

"Samuel is cooking in the kitchen," Nicole said shyly.

"Isn't it too early for a lunch? Didn't you have breakfast?"

Mark scanned through the documents in his hand while the attendant was still waiting by his side.

Nicole bit her lower lip and said embarrassedly, "Uncle Mark, I have something to tell you."

"Then speak it."



"I think, um, I'm pregnant."

"What?"

Mark sprang up in surprise, startling the attendant.

"Commander..."

"Shut up!"

Mark told the attendant to shut up and then carefully asked, "Nicole, wait. What did you say?"

Nicole felt very embarrassed.

"I'm going to have a baby."

"God, did Jason know?"

"I haven't talked to Uncle Jason yet. Samuel and I have just found out about it."

Hearing this, Mark laughed.

"Thank God! Wait, I'll go back home and bring you the design draft later! Jesus, I'm going to be
Grandpa Mark."

Nicole was so happy to hear his laughter.

After hanging up the phone, Nicole felt that it had been a long time since she had called her parents
last. She had been busy in the past few days, staying at the Don's. She hadn't heard from the Bushes
for long.

Feeling guilty, Nicole dialed the telephone number of the Bushes instantly.



She waited for long but no one answered.

Then Nicole called her parents' cell phones, but it said, "Sorry, the subscriber you have dialed power
off...''

'What's going on?'

'It's possible they aren't home if they don't answer the telephone, but what's going on if the mobile
phones are turned off?'

Nicole suddenly felt overwhelmed with anxiety.
