When Nicole wanted to answer the phone, Samuel got it first.
"Let me take it."
Nicole felt that she was now like a protected porcelain doll. Samuel's care made her happy, but at the
same time, she also felt that it was amusing.
"It's just answering the phone and I'm not disabled. Are you afraid that the phone will eat me?"
"I'm afraid that you'll get an electric shock."
Samuel had often joked with Nicole recently.
"So what!"
Nicole didn't intend to argue with him, and she lay on the sofa like a quail in its nest. She felt that she
was about to be turned into a useless cripple by Samuel's way of care.
The two children were also mysterious and Nicole didn't know what they were doing with her parents.
The children didn't come out all day.
When the phone was answered by Samuel, Samuel only said a few words of "Mm, good" and then
hung up.
"What is it? Things about the company?"
Nicole asked casually.
However, Samuel shook his head and said, "No. With Vincent in the company, there's no problem. It's
from the old lady of the Dons who said that Jason had returned from Capital City. She wants you to
come over and talk about your identity."
Speaking of Mrs. Don, Nicole was shocked for a moment.
The last time she saw Mrs. Don in the hospital, she promised to have dinner with Mrs. Don the next
day. Unfortunately, she forgot about this after Olivia's incident. And Mrs. Don also didn't call her at that
time.
Now that Mrs. Don suddenly called, Nicole was stunned.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good that your grandmother invites you to dinner? Why are you like this?"
Samuel looked at Nicole who was in such a shock and felt that it was somewhat amusing.
He found her increasingly adorable.
Only then did Nicole react and she did not know what to say. Actually, she liked Mrs. Don very much,
but when she thought of the Viola beside her, she felt a barrier.
"Do you think Viola will also be there today?"
Nicole suddenly asked, which shocked Samuel slightly.
"Things of the Dons have nothing to do with her, right? She shouldn't be there."
"If so, that's good."
Only then did Nicole let out a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go up and change my clothes. Then we go
there together."
"Alright."
Samuel smiled and did not reject. However, from Nicole's words, he seemed to have noticed that
Nicole did not like Viola.
Although he had always known it, he felt somewhat uncomfortable noticing that Nicole seemed to
dodge Viola now.
His wife was a legitimate granddaughter of the Dons, why would she still dodge her? Or did Viola do
something bad which made Nicole feel disgusted?
Thinking of this, Samuel took out his phone and called Finn.
"Check whether anything unpleasant happened to Viola and Nicole when Nicole went to the hospital
last time."
"Alright."
Finn hung up the phone and returned shortly after, bringing back a video. It was the video of Viola and
Nicole in the corridor in the hospital.
Samuel twitched his eyes.
Indeed, it was this woman who did something unpleasant.
He looked in the direction of the bedroom and felt that Nicole was not such a weak person. Usually she
would go find Viola to argue. Maybe it was because she did not want to cause trouble during her sitting
month after the miscarriage.
However, how could Samuel allow his woman to be bullied?
He put it into his heart, intending to revenge Nicole's grievances when he had time.
Nicole, Samuel's woman, could not be bullied by anyone other than Samuel himself!
As Samuel thought this, Nicole had already changed her clothes and went downstairs.
She looked very fresh in her neat casual clothes. Nicole had put on some weight since she had been
confined to bed for recovery. Her complexion had turned better. Now, she looked even more dazzling in
her clothes.
"Is it okay?"
Nicole felt that she really put on some weight.
This dress was actually a little small for her.
However, Samuel said happily, "It's quite good!"
"Why do I feel that it is a little narrow around my waist?"
Nicole noticed her waistline was obviously a bit wider than before. She was somewhat upset.
Women were always so sensitive to shape.
However, Samuel smiled and said, "It's more comfortable to hug a plump woman."
"Shut up! Oh my god. My poor waist. I have to do something to lose weight later."
The more Nicole looked at her waist, the more uncomfortable she felt.
But Samuel said indifferently, "To lose weight? How much do you weigh? You plan to lose weight when
you've just recovered? Aren't you afraid that the children will laugh at you?"
As Samuel spoke of the children, Nicole paused for a moment and asked, "Should I bring them over
today? Mrs. Don hasn’t ever seen the two children yet."
"Forget it. Today is only about your identity. She can see them next time. Things have not been
prepared well today. Don't make the children feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, you're right."
Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole also dismissed her plan to bring the children to the Don’s.
The two left the villa and drove to the Don’s.
Jason was smoking outside of the house. When Jason saw them coming, he quickly put out the
cigarette.
He looked at Nicole and found that she had a rosy face and had put on some weight. He then smiled
and said, "It looks like Samuel has raised you well this month."
Nicole felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Uncle Jason, what do you mean by 'raise'? I'm not a pig."
Nicole's childlike manner sent Jason into a fit of laughter.
"If pigs are as thin as you, the pig farmers will probably cry their eyes out."
Jason's words left Nicole speechless.
Did he really regard her as a pig or something else?
However, Samuel jokingly said, "That's the case. Just now, she was shouting at home about losing
weight."
"Losing weight? You aren't fat at all! Nonsense!"
Jason scolded Nicole as soon as he heard this.
Nicole felt that Samuel must have said it on purpose.
She secretly pinched Samuel's waist.
"Ah!"
Samuel immediately shouted, startling Jason.
"What's wrong?"
"I said the wrong thing and I am punished."
Samuel did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he was showing off, which Nicole found so
embarrassing that she wanted to escape.
Samuel was getting more and more shameless now.
Nicole glared at him, then turned to Jason and said, "Oh, right. Uncle, why are you outside?"
Jason paused for a moment and then said, "It's not convenient to stay inside because it's full of
women. And I come out to smoke."
"After a trip to Capital City, you have become more addicted to smoking?"
Samuel asked indifferently, but Jason did not answer.
Seeing this, Samuel could feel that something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Is it the procedures about Nicole's identity in Capital City? Or is it something else?"
When Samuel asked this question, Nicole also frowned.
Didn't he say that everything was fine?
Would there be something wrong again?
"No, it has gone quite smoothly in Capital City. We've already consulted with the police. Papers and
documents about Nicole's identity will be issued tomorrow. Don't worry."
Jason hurriedly said.
Only then did Nicole let out a sigh of relief.
Because she didn't have an ID card, she couldn't go anywhere. Fortunately, with this thing settled, she
could go out with Samuel and their children. This made Nicole very happy.
However, Samuel was not as optimistic as Nicole. He looked at Jason and said indifferently, "Since
Nicole's identity is no longer a problem, what are you worried about here? Why are you smoking? My
woman has just recovered from a miscarriage. Can you keep her from secondhand smoke?"
Hearing this, Jason quickly put out the cigarette.
"It's all my fault. It's my fault."
Jason's behavior made Nicole somewhat embarrassed.
"Uncle Jason, don't listen to him. He's just contrived."
"You can't say that. Samuel is actually very good to you. You can't be heartless, can you?"
Jason had completely put away all his other feelings for Nicole. He only treated her as his niece now.
Although he was still somewhat unaccustomed to it, it was much better than before.
Nicole's face turned red again.
Seeing them talking like this, Samuel smiled and said, "It's quite cold outside. Are you really going to
chat with us outside? Mrs. Don is probably anxious to see us, isn't she?"
When Jason heard this, his expression was a little not natural.
"Nicole, there's something I have to tell you in advance."
"What is it?"
Nicole asked with a smile, but her heart was somewhat uneasy.
Jason coughed and said, "Well, there's someone else with Mrs. Don. You should know her."
"Viola?"
Nicole's face immediately darkened.
"Yes."
Jason was a little awkward.
Nicole felt very uncomfortable.
"This should be the affair of the Dons, right? Why would Viola be here?"
Nicole originally didn't have a good impression of Viola, and now that she heard that Viola was in the
Dons, she felt even more disgusted.
Jason didn't know about the friction between Nicole and Viola in the hospital and he said, "This is what
Mrs. Don has arranged. She said that Viola was after all Minister Shaw's daughter and your sister,
though her surname wasn't Don. And because Viola has taken care of Mrs. Don these past few days,
Mrs. Don wants you to come over today and discuss with you about allowing Viola to be an adopted
daughter of the Dons when you enter the ancestral hall and join the family tree. In this way, your
sisterhood will be more reasonable, and it won't make things too difficult for Minister Shaw."
Just as Jason finished speaking, Nicole sneered.
"Mrs. Don is really thoughtful, but what if I don't agree?"
Jason was stunned.
"Nicole ..."
"If I don't agree, then that means I'm narrow-minded and not tolerant, right?"
Nicole did not seem to be less angry because of Jason's expression. Instead, her voice became much
colder.
Samuel narrowed his eyes and pulled Nicole behind him. He said to Jason, "Nicole almost died in the
United States before. Do you know who did it?"
"Aren't they Allen and his lover?"
"You know only part of the story. It was Viola who knocked out Nicole and handed her to Allen. Then
Nicole suffered so much and almost died. Do you think this ill feeling can be cleared by just a single
sentence from Mrs. Don? If it weren't for the fact that she is Minister Shaw's daughter, do you think she
would still be able to stand here and fight for an equal status with my wife?"
