Chapter 1132 I&##x27;m Not a Kid Anymore

Hold on!

Samuel said "they" just now.

Who were "they"?

Did Samuel imply Zayn's mother wasn't the only one alive?

Zayn didn't expect this.

Therefore, he got expectant.

He stood up abruptly, and wanted to ask someone to investigate this, but not after a while, he stopped.

His mother must have her reasons for not telling him she was alive. If he investigated her, it would
cause trouble for her.

Thinking of this, Zayn calmed down.

It was a great surprise to him, but now he didn't even know whom to share it with.

How pathetic he was!

Looking at the screen, he flipped through the contacts, but he didn't find anyone who could talk to.

He smiled bitterly, and missed Pedro very much.

Somehow, he dialed a number.

He frowned slightly, but Nicole answered before he could cancel the call.

"Zayn, what is it?"



Nicole's crisp and warm voice was like the sunshine that pushed away the clouds, which delighted him
right away.

He smiled and said with great joy, "Nothing serious. I miss you, so I want to give you a call and hear
your voice."

Hearing this, Nicole paused for a while.

"Zayn, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've been alone for a long time, so I wanted to talk with someone, but I don't know who to talk
with. And somehow, I called you. After all, you're my sister, right?"

What Zayn said was all right.

Admittedly, he could call her "sister". However, to be exact, she was his cousin!

In Nicole's mind, Zayn was supposed to be as important as Tim, but Tim had helped her a lot, so she
could even repay Tim at the cost of her life. However, she never felt close to Zayn.

Therefore, she kept silent.

Zayn didn't feel embarrassed, and continued, "I was always busy after returning home. I was busy
fighting for power, protecting myself, deterring Santino, and expanding my influence. I hardly realize it's
almost the New Year. Nicole, I haven't contacted you these days. Don't get angry with me, because I
didn't do it on purpose."

"Well, it doesn't matter. You should go on your trip."

What Nicole said was a little perfunctory, so she got regretful after she finished it.



Considering Zayn's identity and position, she guessed he was trying to get closer to her, but she was
not indifferent to him.

Instead, she cared about him!

She could not deny this.

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Zayn continued, "I'm busy, but I still pay attention to you. I heard you
were poisoned. How's it going? Are you feeling better?"

"Don't worry. I'm fine now."

Nicole replied in a low voice.

Zayn didn't know what to say next. When he knew about this, she had pulled it through. He had
planned to fly back to the Seapolis City and visited her, but he didn't for fear that he would cause
trouble for her. After all, he had a special identity.

Well, he needn't mention this.

No matter what, he was glad she was fine now, and it was unnecessary to say how he worried about
her.

Thinking for a while, he smiled and said, "It's almost the New Year. What do you want for the New
Year? I will give whatever you want."

Nicole didn't expect Zayn to promise her a gift, so she was stunned.

"I don't need anything."

What she said was true.



Samuel loved her so much that she could get whatever she wanted. Therefore, she didn't need
anything.

Hearing this, Zayn thought it was not so good for Nicole to marry Samuel, because Samuel deprived
Zayn of the chance to get closer to her.

However, Zayn still smiled and said, "Never mind. I'll select it by myself. I hope you won't hate it."

"Of course not. I will like whatever you give me."

Hearing this, Zayn was pleased.

He felt that he found something else to live for.

He must defeat Santino and tried his best to protect his family so that they could be happy and safe.
This was the purpose of his life.

Thinking of this, he said, "Nicole, don't come to Country F. No matter what happens, no matter what
news you hear about me, don't come to Country F. When I become the king of it, I will send a special
plane to pick you up."

Nicole was a little moved.

Whether he was sincere or not, she was touched at this moment.

"Zayn, you must take care of yourself."

Zayn could tell Nicole was sincere, so he felt very dissatisfied.

"Please say 'hello' to Edwin for me. Tell him I am unfilial that I can't give a big bow to him this year, but I
will definitely visit him next year."



"No problem."

Nicole was about to cry.

If Edwin knew this, he would be delighted.

"By the way, you also have a cousin named Tim. He's getting married in a few days. If you are not
busy, you'd better send him some gifts."

Nicole had not intended to tell Zayn about Tim. After all, Zayn was busy now, and Tim was not so
considerate. Once Tim knew Zayn was his cousin, Tim would ask Zayn for help. Then, Evelyn would be
embarrassed.

But now, after hearing Zayn's words, Nicole knew he cared about his relatives, so he asked her not to
get involved in his affairs.

Therefore, she changed the way she looked at him and started to see him as a part of her family.

In fact, she was very kind and was a pushover, so she would be sincere to anyone who was nice to her.

However, her parents, Melissa, Viola, and the others didn't realize this.

Zayn was stunned, but given it was Nicole who said it, he didn't doubt it.

"Okay, I will prepare it, but I have something else to tell you."

"What is it?"

Nicole was a little curious.

Zayn whispered, "I have it from a very reliable source that Major might attack you on New Year's Day,
so you must be careful. You'd better stay at home and not go out. Tell Samuel to protect you all the



time."

Hearing this, Nicole got a lot of mixed feelings.

This information was extremely confidential, but Zayn was able to obtain it, which meant he was very
powerful.

Then, she felt relieved. It seemed Zayn was influential in Country F, so he wouldn't be in danger.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Zayn, I've known about it."

"Really?"

Zayn thought it was Samuel who told her. But Nicole said, "I have an inside man by Major's side."

These words shocked Zayn.

Major was not foolish.

He was shrewd and cunning, but Nicole actually had an inside man by his side.

Zayn couldn't imagine how difficult it was.

"Nicole, what do you want to do?"

He was a little worried.

He had thought she was a girl who married a wealthy man and operated a filmmaking company to kill
time, but her words reminded him that he was wrong.

Nicole smiled and said, "I can do nothing. I just want to protect myself. Major has always plotted
against Samuel and me. He even wanted to kill us many times. To put it bluntly, he is my enemy.



Although I don't like to look for trouble, I don't want to keep myself in danger. Major is a great danger to
me. If possible, I hope I can defeat him in person, so it's no wonder I have an inside man by his side.
Zayn, I'm not a kid anymore."

Hearing this, Zayn was silent.

After a few seconds, he whispered, "Listen to me. If he knows about this, just blame it on me rather
than you. I stand opposite to Santino while Major is Santino's subordinate. If you blame it on me, no
one will doubt it."

Nicole didn't expect him to say this. It seemed he preferred to put himself at risk rather than put her in
danger.

Therefore, she was moved.

"I know how to handle it. You must be careful. We can't spend the New Year's Day together, but we'll
have been together by the end of next year."

"Okay."

What Nicole said was a hopeful sign for Zayn and he got a newfound purpose in life.

After hanging up the phone, he was in a state of excitement.

However, Nicole realized something was wrong when she hung up the phone.

It seemed Zayn knew she was his cousin.

He also knew something about Edwin!

What happened?



The next second, she felt relieved.

Well, it was much better than to hide it from him.

Thinking of the relationship between Major and Lillian, Nicole texted Zayn,

"Zayn, if possible, can you do a maternity test for me?"

"What do you mean?"

Zayn was a little confused.

Nicole quickly replied, "It's about Major and Lillian. I suspect Major is Lillian's son, but there is no
evidence. I know you can get Lillian's samples, and I will ask someone to give you Major's samples."

"Who? That inside man? You shouldn't ask him to do this. Otherwise, he would be exposed."

Zayn's words shocked Nicole.

She thought of that inside man.

Then, she got anxious.

Just as she didn't know what to do, Zayn texted her back,

"Just leave this to me. I also have an undercover agent by Santino's side, and I will ask him get Major's
sample. I'll fax you the maternity test report in three days."

Nicole was touched at once.

Zayn must have spent many years arranging for an undercover agent by Santino's side. He actually
decided to help her even if his agent would be exposed. Therefore, Nicole felt that Zayn was not bad.



At least he was nice to her.

After hanging up the phone, Nicole got up and walked towards the study.

She wanted to tell Samuel about this and share her happiness with him.

She walked towards the study with a smile. However, just as she arrived at the study's door, she heard
Samuel's voice coming from inside. It was not very clear, but her face changed when she heard it.
