Without hearing Samuel's reply, Nicole knew that Samuel was thinking a lot. She sighed and said,
“Actually, there's nothing wrong with my life. Don’t worry too much. I have promised you that I will grow
old with you. Now you just need to take care of your affairs. I'll wait for you.”
“Okay.”
Samuel nodded.
He didn't know what else he could say right now. Having a good wife like her, what could he ask for? It
was useless to say more. Right now, he could only solve his problem quickly and bring Nicole home.
“I'll contact you tomorrow. Bye.”
After all, this wasn’t her phone, and it was likely to expose her for talking too long.
After Nicole hung up the phone, she was somewhat disappointed.
This was the first time she was separated from Samuel.
After she was rescued by Samuel from the Fallen Angel Club last time, she thought that she would
never be separated from Samuel again. But now, only a few days later, they were again.
How could it be so difficult to stay together for the rest of their lives?
Allen's obsessive love left Nicole speechless, but she wouldn't take Allen's methods lightly.
Nicole didn’t know if it was because she was thinking too much, or because she had slept for a while.
She wasn't sleepy at all.
She sat on the sofa with a blanket. In this decoration style, she felt relieved.
Now that she was idle, she took the drawing paper and brush. When some ideas came to her mind,
she bent over the coffee table and began to draw.
With time passing by, she felt sleepy. Sitting on the floor, she fell asleep with her upper part of body on
the coffee table.
After Audrey woke up in the morning, she was surprised to see Nicole sleep on the coffee table.
Her long hair covered her face, but not her beauty.
When Audrey walked to her side, she found that Nicole was drawing sketches of cars.
There were all sorts of cars, including sports cars, sedan, and off-road vehicles. They were all similar,
as if she wanted to design a series.
Nicole's drawing style was very delicate, but with a trace of masculinity. It was hard to tell it was drawn
by a woman.
Perhaps it was because Audrey also liked drawing. She picked up the sketches and looked at them
carefully.
This child's painting was excellent. It could be seen that she must have received professional trainings
when she was young. No wonder she was able to see the bleakness and sadness in Audrey's
paintings.
Audrey smiled in relief.
She wrapped a blanket around Nicole and put the sketches aside before heading to the kitchen.
The kitchen has been cleaned up by Nicole.
It looked like she was a neat girl.
This was much better than her daughter, Viola.
Audrey once again praised Nicole.
She opened the fridge, cooked some food, and took it to the dining table.
Nicole was awakened by the fragrance of the food.
"How fragrant!”
She couldn't help but say it. Then she turned around and saw that Audrey had already prepared the
food and was smiling at her.
"Get up and wash your hands for breakfast. How come you fell asleep in the living room?"
Nicole scratched her head embarrassedly and said, "I don't know. Maybe I was too sleepy."
Scratching her long hair, she ran to the bathroom.
"There is a set of toothpaste and toothbrushes in the cupboard. They are all new. You can use them.”
Nicole paused for a moment when Audrey's voice reached her ears.
Only then did she realize that she didn't bring anything. Fortunately, Audrey was prepared.
"Thank you, Auntie Audrey.”
Nicole felt herself at home. She took out the toothpaste and toothbrush and used it.
After washing her face, Nicole came out and saw that Audrey took out her makeup.
"Use it, if you don’t mind.”
“Not at all.’
At this time, how could Nicole mind it?
She looked at Audrey's cosmetics. They weren't famous brands but seemed to be homebred.
“Auntie Audrey, are you using domestic cosmetics?”
"What? Are you not used to it?”
Audrey thought that Nicole wasn't used to it. After all, Viola always disliked it and even persuaded her
to change it more than once. She said that Audrey should use some famous brands of cosmetics in the
United States, but Audrey didn't like it.
Nicole hurriedly shook her head and said, “No, no, I’m just surprised. Judging from your dress, you
should be a high-class person, right? And they rarely use domestic products."
"Sometimes traditional things are the best.”
Only with this sentence, Nicole couldn't agree more.
"Yes, the homebred things are quite good. I’m not used to foreign things.”
As Nicole spoke, she started to put on the makeup.
It smelt good with a faint fragrance.
Nicole patted her face carefully, no perfunctory or disposed.
Seeing that she really liked it, Audrey laughed.
"You come to America for a trip?”
"Sort of. But I’ve lost my ID card. I can’t go anywhere now. I am wondering if you could take me in for a
few days.”
Nicole thought that although Audrey's behavior was a little strange, she should be a good person.
Audrey nodded and said, "You may stay if you want. Normally, no one drops by. It’s just me. As long as
you don't think I'm too stuffy.”
“No.”
Nicole smiled faintly and finished her makeup.
She put Audrey's cosmetics back in place, then sat in front of Audrey and began to eat.
What Audrey cooked was a common Chinese breakfast, a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of cold
dishes, and a few scrolls next to them.
Nicole simply thought that she had returned home and was right beside her parents.
It was hard to imagine that she could have such a breakfast in America.
“Auntie Audrey, you must miss the country very much, right?"
Audrey paused for a moment at Nicole's words and then asked, "Why?"
“No matter who you are, and how long you have been in America, you will gradually be assimilated.
Very few people can insist in having such an authentic breakfast. However, it is likely that you specially
cook it for me.”
"You're not that important."
Audrey smiled.
Nicole didn’t mind it.
She felt comfortable staying with Audrey. Instead of the restraint between the elders and juniors, she
felt a trace of friendliness and peace.
“Auntie Audrey, does Viola also like these?”
“No, she doesn't.”
Audrey sighed slightly.
“She was fond of adventure. She favors novelty and everything in America. Sometimes, I will wonder
whether she's my child or not."
Speaking of Viola, Audrey showed a trace of helplessness, but it could tell that she loved her very
much.
Nicole couldn't help but think of her mother.
"You remind me of my mother. I wonder if she’s home yet.”
Nicole sighed.
Back then, when she arranged for her parents and children to leave the United States, she was so
determined. Now, it was unknown if they had returned and if Jason could take good care of them.
Now her phone has lost, she couldn't contact them. Nicole was worried.
“Auntie Audrey, could I make a phone call? It's an international call, but I don’t have the money to pay
for it right now "
Nicole said seriously.
Audrey burst into laughter.
“l’m not short of the phone bill. Call as you wish-"
Audrey took out the wireless phone from the cabinet behind her and handed it to Nicole.
"Thank you, Auntie Audrey.”
Nicole hurriedly took it.
She did not call her father and mother, nor did she call Laurel. If they were still on the boat and did not
arrive safely, her phone could only bring them trouble.
Nicole quickly dialed Jason's number.
The moment the call was connected, Jason's voice sounded.
“Who is it?"
He was a little surprised. This was a foreign telephone number. Who could it be?
Nicole didn’t know how to tell Jason, so she could only cough and say, "Mr. Don, this is Nicole.”
“Nicole? You didn’t come back?"
Jason thought she would come back with the children.
Nicole shook her head and said, "There are some other things that I can't go back for the time being.
Mr. Don, have my parents arrived yet?"
"Not yet, but I've already received a call from Samuel. I will arrange it. How are you doing over there? I
heard that Samuel is in trouble. Do you need my help?”
“Do you really think the Dons in the Seapolis City are so powerful that you can help us solve it? Mr.
Don, just help me take good care of our big family. When Samuel and I return home, I will express my
gratitude to you.”
Nicole immediately laughed.
Audrey's hand shook, and the chopsticks fell on the dining table, making a crisp sound.
“Auntie Audrey, what's wrong? Did I bother you?”
“No-
Audrey didn't look well. It could be seen that she was a little flustered.
She hurriedly picked up her chopsticks to take the food again, but she failed.
Seeing this, Nicole said embarrassedly, "Mr. Don, I have something to deal with now. Chat later and
take good care of my family for me. Thank you.'’
“You're welcome. Chat later.”
“Bye.”
Nicole hung up the phone. Seeing that Audrey was in a trance, she remembered the photo she took
from Xander and couldn't help but ask.
“Auntie Audrey, do you know Xander?"
Audrey's expression changed the moment she heard it.
"How do you know about Xander?"
She looked straight at Nicole with a frightening look in her eyes.
Nicole was nervous. She didn’t know if she had stirred up trouble, but since she had asked, she had to
know the answer.
She coughed and said, "I know Xander's younger brother, Jason. I went to the Dons not long ago and
saw a picture in Xander's studio. The woman in the picture looks like you. I wonder if she is your sister
or someone else.
Nicole did not dare to ask if it was Audrey. After all, Audrey had aged a lot over so many years, but she
bore a striking resemblance to that woman. Moreover, the face in that photo was somewhat similar to
her original look, which was why Nicole was curious.
Audrey's eyes became a little blurry at Nicole’s words. She whispered, "Xander? That seems to be
someone and something from a previous life.”
