Chapter 1339 I&##x27;m Not Stupid

So that Phoenix might not slip up, Samuel interrupted her, "Phoenix, any good news? Nicole is here.
We cannot go outside anyway. So tell us."

Phoenix stunned.

Was he afraid of something?

Phoenix snorted in her heart. She wished that Nicole knew everything! But she knew Samuel. That was
a warning. He was warning her because of Nicole!

This made Phoenix sad.

She said calmly, "Well, it can be considered good news. My brother Zayn came just now. It seems that
he has been released. I don't know what the king means, but it was not a good sign. I know that Zayn
and Nicole are cousins, so I gave you a call in advance. In addition, he also sent me a bodyguard
named Trevin. Mr. Green, do you know him?"

When Nicole heard Trevin, she was especially anxious. Just as she was about to say something,
Samuel covered her mouth.

"He is my people. Take good care of him. He saved me once."

Nicole glared at Samuel but couldn't make a sound. Samuel sighed.

He knew he was exposed.

However, Phoenix did not know about this. She was happy to hear that.

"I knew it was your plan to break his leg. Since he is so loyal to you, I will certainly save him. Don't
worry."



"Thank you."

Samuel hung up the phone and let go of Nicole.

Nicole was not stupid and Samuel knew that. She showed her innocence towards Samuel because she
trusted him. But if something happened, Nicole was able to sense it.

Samuel looked helpless, and the doubts in Nicole's mind slowly cleared away.

"So, what happened?"

Nicole sat down and found some snacks. She was ready to listen to the story.

But she didn't look like a woman who would suspect her husband of cheating.

Samuel shook his head and cut some fruit for Nicole.

Nicole watched this and whispered, "It is said that cheating men treat their wives well, and it seems to
be true."

Samuel's hands paused.

"Nicole, Phoenix and I haven't seen each other for many years. I've been with you all the time. It's still
snowy outside. Do I have any chances?"

"Maybe you had an affair just in your mind. Something must have happened between you and
Phoenix!"

Nicole said with certainty. Her pair of beautiful eyes stared straight at Samuel.

Samuel felt hurt.



The last thing he wanted to see was Nicole being sad.

"She and I are really just friends. But there was a rumor that I was going to marry her. It was not true."

Nicole had noticed that Samuel didn't want her to say that Trevin was her people. And then Phoenix's
tone towards Samuel carried a trace of joy.

This was not the attitude of a subordinate to a superior. Nicole was a woman, so she could tell that
Phoenix admired Samuel. When she heard that rumor, she felt a stab of pain and her expression
became a little ugly.

Samuel hurriedly said, "It's not what you think. Nicole, can you listen to me?"

"Alright."

Nicole was really tolerant. As long as Samuel was willing to explain, Nicole would try to trust him. But
she felt terrible.

She had always known that Samuel was successful and outstanding. There would be a lot of women
who liked him. In the past, there were Soseph, Viola, and others. And there would be more. Thinking of
this, Nicole calmed down a little.

Seeing that Nicole had calmed down, Samuel told her everything.

He just spoke plainly about what had happened between them. It made Nicole feel a lot better.

"She hurt her uterus to save you? She'll never get pregnant again?"

"Yes."

"Does the king know about this?"



Samuel paused and shook his head.

"For so many years, I've been asking Silver Fox to find a cure for her. And I didn't want to tell anyone
about this. My people trusted me, so they won't go against my will. At present, other than you, me, Fill,
Silver Fox, and Phoenix, no one else knows about this."

Nicole sank into deep thought.

Phoenix really did a lot for Samuel.

This kind of feeling was bad, but Nicole could only face it. She had always believed that there were
more solutions than difficulties. Moreover, although Samuel tried his best to hide it, she could tell that
Samuel cared about Phoenix.

It had nothing to do with love. It was an instinct, a kind of protection for a friend. Although he didn't want
to make Nicole sad as there were some things that he couldn't control.

Nicole knew that she was facing a powerful enemy.

Nicole couldn't beat her or curse her. She couldn't even have any dissatisfaction, just because that
woman had sacrificed herself to save Samuel, and this could separate Nicole and Samuel.

Nicole had wished to enter the palace earlier, but now, she wished she had never been here. She
finally understood why Samuel had to send her back when he came here before.

It would definitely be awkward if Nicole were there.

Even if Phoenix did something to her, Nicole could not tell Samuel, and she even had to show her
generosity. Otherwise, she would be considered ungrateful and even implicate Samuel.

Phoenix had saved Samuel's life, and that was an unending debt.



Nicole looked at Samuel. She believed in Samuel. But she was still depressed.

"I'm sorry, Nicole. I didn't want you to worry. There was nothing between me and her, and there won't
be. Besides, we have children, so I won't..."

"I know you won't. I trust you."

Nicole interrupted Samuel and said with a smile, "Since she saved you, she saved me then. Don't
worry, as long as she doesn't go too far, I will ignore it. I won't do anything to her."

"That's not what I meant. I guarantee that you won't be harmed or wronged at any time. I owe her, and I
don't need you to pay me back."

Samuel frowned.

He didn't tell Nicole because he was afraid that Nicole would be too kind. They now were in Country F,
and they would face many dangers. He didn't want Phoenix to hurt Nicole.

"Listen to me. Don't ever let yourself get hurt. Do you understand? If you let yourself suffer, I don't mind
being an ungrateful man."

Samuel's words made Nicole's heart warm.

She smiled and hugged Samuel, whispering, "I'm not that stupid."

"You've always been so kind. I am not a good man, thank you for loving me."

"Don't say that."

Nicole covered Samuel's mouth.



Samuel hugged her and kissed her.

He was upset about this. He didn't know what Phoenix would do to Nicole. He was really afraid that
Nicole would get hurt.

That was not fair to Nicole.

But Samuel thought too simply.

He and Nicole were husband and wife. Nicole wouldn't ask Samuel to cut Phoenix off from him. She
would even help Samuel to pay Phoenix back if she found an opportunity. And Nicole wouldn't tell
Samuel this.

Samuel's kisses were full of passion. Nicole knew that he was afraid and distressed. All sorts of
emotions were mixed together.

Nicole responded him passionately, as if this was the only way to make Samuel feel at ease.

The snowstorm outside was howling. But the room was full of enthusiasm.

Phoenix did not know what Nicole and Samuel had done. After the call, Phoenix smiled, and her face
was flushed.

Helen followed Phoenix for a long time, but this was the first time she saw Phoenix acting like a shy
little girl. She laughed and teased, "Princess, do you have a crush on someone?"

Phoenix paused, and her expression turned calm again.

"No. How's the guard?"

"Our doctor has seen him. He's injured too badly and can't move. Although he won't die, he'll need
some time to wake up."



This was the first time Helen had seen a man Phoenix cared so much for. Maybe the princess had
taken a fancy to that guard?

That didn't make sense. That guard's face was swollen from the beating. Phoenix even didn't know
what he looked like.

Helen guessed randomly, and then she heard Phoenix coldly say, "Pass on my order. From now on, no
one is allowed to approach that guard. Those who violate it will be killed!"

It was the first time she had been so serious.

Helen was stunned, and she was a little scared. She trembled and said, "What if it's the king?"

"I said anyone. Don't you understand?"

Phoenix's voice was as cold as ice. Helen fell to his knees suddenly.

"Princess, the king is your father! You are not going to do this, are you?"

"As long as he obeys my order. If he insists on violating me, then he can't blame me for this."

A trace of ruthlessness and hatred flashed through Phoenix's eyes. She did not conceal her feeling at
all.

That hatred had been buried in her heart for so many years. Now that Samuel had come, what was
there to be afraid of?
