Chapter 1088 This Is Love

"What's the matter?"

Noticing the change of Nicole's expression, Samuel couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, nothing. It is just some private things between women."

Nicole hurriedly said.

Such an answer prevented Samuel from asking further questions.

"I'll go and see if there are any great restaurants nearby. You two ladies can enjoy your shopping."

"Alright."

After this, Samuel left.

As soon as he left, Nicole's expression instantly went ugly.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"You think I'll lie to you? I overheard it. I don't know what Tim is going to handle this matter, but I'm
afraid that he won't be able to get over this easily. You know, all these years, except you, he cares
about her the most."

Evelyn's words made Nicole's expression even uglier.

Martha called Tim!

This was what Evelyn had just told her.

Martha!



Back then, in order to make her father abroad appear, they deliberately released Martha. However,
unexpectedly, she took advantage of that opportunity and escaped.

Now she was still a fugitive. She actually dared to call Tim!

What did she intend to do?

Tim was about to get married. Did she come back to cause trouble and ruin Tim's happiness?

Nicole kept thinking about these questions in her mind, and she looked rather gloomy.

Tim always held a mixed feeling towards Martha. For so many years, he had thought his father drove
Martha crazy. But it turned out it was Martha who used everyone. Would Tim forgive Martha?

Nicole didn't know. But she somehow felt uneasy.

"I'll talk to him later."

"Don't mention that it was me who told you that. Keep this a secret. That's my husband. We still have to
face each other for the rest of our lives."

Evelyn's words made Nicole laugh.

"Do you have to be so cautious? Tim loves you so much. You aren't worried that he might leave you for
that, are you?"

"Of course I'm worried. You know that he made the decision to marry me because I took the initiative.
Who knows whether I have a place in his heart? If he gets mad because of this, I might not be his
wife."

Evelyn sounded pitiful, which made Nicole feel a little funny.



"Now I'm puzzled. Why did you fall for him? You know that Tim was a playboy, right?"

"I know. But I love him."

Evelyn said with a smile. Her eyes indicated that she was serious about this.

"Why? You just fall in love with him for no reason? That doesn't make sense."

Nicole could not understand this.

"I'll tell you why only after you promise me that you won't tell him. I don't want him to be nice to me
because of what happened before. I want him to gradually discover my shining points and fall in love
with me," Evelyn said after thinking for a while.

"You are so confident that he'll fall in love with you?"

"Of course."

Evelyn was a beauty, and her confidence brought her more charm.

Nicole asked curiously, "How did you know each other?"

"Tim once saved my life."

Evelyn's words stunned Nicole a little bit.

"When did that happen? Why don't I know? I have never heard Tim mention it. If he had saved a
beauty like you, he would have already taken you as his girlfriend, right? Why do you still need to
chase after him now?"

Nicole's words embarrassed Evelyn a little.



"It is true. It happened when he was in the army."

"What?"

Nicole didn't expect this was the answer.

"I was only eighteen that year. To celebrate me officially becoming an adult, my dad gave me some
money. So I asked a few friends to go abroad to travel," Evelyn whispered. "But I didn't expect I would
be so unlucky to run into a terrorist attack during shopping. At that time, I was very scared. I even
thought I would die there. Luckily, our peacekeepers were there. It was the first time I saw a
peacekeeper. I met danger in a foreign country, but luckily, I saw peacekeepers of our country. I don't
know how to describe my feelings back then."

Saying this, Evelyn seemed to recall her fear and helplessness at that time.

Then she continued, "When the bullets flew over my ears, my friends screamed and dodged in fright. I
watched as one of them was shot, and blood splattered all over my face. I thought all was over. I might
never see my dad again. There was a terrorist shooting at the crowd with a machine gun. I was within
the range of his bullets. I thought I was gonna die, but at that moment, a man grabbed me and rolled on
the ground with me in his arms."

A hint of admiration appeared in Evelyn's eyes.

"He was so handsome at that time. I was dumbfounded. To save me, he was injured, but still, he sent
me to a safe place and comforted me that everything would be fine. I saw him being taken to the
hospital for treatment. I wanted to know how he was. I frantically searched for news about him.
However, the discipline of the peacekeeping force is very strict. I can't get any information at all. When
the terrorists were eliminated, the peacekeeping force also retreated. I can't find him anywhere. I
thought I would never meet him again. "



Evelyn smiled sweetly.

She looked at Nicole and said, "I've been staying abroad these past few years just because I want to
find news about him, but I got nothing. This year, there was something wrong with my dad's company.
He was so busy that he asked me back to help him. After I went back, I was surprised to discover that
the man I was looking for was in the same city with me. This is arranged by the god, right?"

Hearing that, Nicole didn't know what to say.

"So you started chasing after him?"

"Yes, I've been looking for him for so many years. How could I let another woman get him? I heard that
he was hurt in love and planned to travel around the world, so I followed him and kept making
encounters with him. Unfortunately, he didn't remember me at all."

Saying this, Evelyn was somewhat sad.

"Tim was a soldier at that time, so saving people and maintaining peace was his mission. He saved so
many people, how could he remember all of them? Besides, he's retired now. Naturally, he won't think
about people he had saved in the past. Besides, you were only eighteen at that time. Now you're
twenty-six. How could he still remember you after so many years?" Nicole comforted Evelyn.

"Never mind. Anyway, I remember him. And that's enough. I love him. I will work harder to increase my
love for him. I hope that he can also love me. That would be perfect."

Evelyn smiled brightly.

This was love.

Nicole sighed in her heart.



Tim could be considered a fool blessed by god.

Evelyn was so sincere to him and she didn't need him to pay back her kindness and love. Her love for
Tim was unconditional. Nicole hoped that they would live happily forever.

Nicole smiled, "If you tell him about this, maybe he will be nicer to you."

"No, I want him to like me because of who I am, instead of anything else."

Evelyn said confidently again.

Nicole started to like Evelyn because of her personality.

"Alright, I'll keep it a secret. By the way, what was going on with Fernanda? Since you've been going
after Tim, you must know Fernanda, right? How did you let her take an opportunity to approach Tim?"

Thinking of Fernanda, Nicole felt very awkward.

Evelyn said somewhat gloomily, "Fernanda is a bitch. It was an accident that she got to know Tim.
They met in a social fund-raising. Tim sponsored a university student. That person is Fernanda. At that
time, there was nothing I could do to stop Tim. After all, Tim was doing a good thing. I didn't expect that
Fernanda to be so greedy and insatiable. I didn't know how Fernanda got Tim's number. I don't know
what method she has used to keep track of Tim's whereabouts. She is simply annoying."

Hearing Evelyn's words, Nicole was stunned.

"Are you saying that after Tim helped Fernanda, Fernanda has always known his whereabouts?"

"That's right. Otherwise, how could she deliberately hit your car? How could she know that Tim got into
a car accident before me? She even called you and Samuel. I don't know how to describe her. I am



always disgusted by her. She is just a poor student, but somehow, she managed to monitor Tim's
whereabouts. She is indeed 'capable'! "

Evelyn didn't realize there was something unusual about Fernanda in her description. But Nicole did.

Fernanda only paid attention to Tim's whereabouts because she had a good impression of him?

Nicole could not believe that a poor student could know Tim's whereabouts so precisely.

Perhaps she needed to talk to Fernanda later.

Perhaps that fund-raising event was deliberately arranged by someone.

Nicole did not want to assume the worst of people. But so many things had happened recently. All the
forces were unstable, and Tim's wedding was just around the corner. She had no choice but to be
careful.

However, Nicole did not tell Evelyn about this.

She had to find out Fernanda's true identity first. It was not too late to tell Evelyn after she confirmed
her guessing.

Then they talked about something else. Soon Samuel came back.

"There's a hotpot restaurant ahead. How about eating there? In such a season, hotpot will make us all
feel warmer."

Samuel only wanted to go to that hotpot restaurant because the hotpot agreed with Nicole's appetite
and is good for Nicole's health. However, it was rude for him to say the true reason to Evelyn. So he
used the "season talking" to persuade Evelyn.



Evelyn knew Samuel's intention. She smiled, "Alright, It's been a long time since I had hotpot last time.
Let's go to that restaurant."

"Let's go!"

Then they set off for that nearby hotpot restaurant. However, because they were in the airport and
business there was great, all the private rooms were occupied when they got there.

Nicole smiled, "Let's sit in the hall. Experiencing the life of an ordinary person occasionally is also not
bad."

His wife had spoken. Samuel naturally agreed. Evelyn didn't care about such trivial matters. She also
nodded in agreement.

They came to the table beside the window and sat down. Samuel passed the menu to Evelyn and
Nicole.

Evelyn smiled at Nicole, "You should order. I am not picky about food. Excuse me, I need to use the
bathroom."

As she spoke, she got up and walked out. However, when she raised her eyes, she saw a familiar
figure walking towards the private room on the second floor.

Evelyn's expression instantly changed.

Evelyn knew Samuel's intention. She smiled, "Alright, It's been a long time since | had hotpot last time.
Let's go to that restaurant."

"Let's go!"

Then they set off for that nearby hotpot restaurant. However, because they were in the airport and
