Gabrielle noticed that Nicole was uneasy, so she said to Blair, "She can't wait until the morning. I think
she won't have a good sleep here. You'd better send her back now."
Nicole looked at Gabrielle embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry. I..."
"I understand. You won't be able to rest well here. The thing about the Kents is over now. You can go
back home. Your children are there. You will feel better to be with them."
Gabrielle was considerate.
Nicole looked at Blair. He nodded and went to start the car.
Nicole packed up her stuff. She called Samuel to tell him that she was going back home. However, she
didn't get through.
Nicole frowned slightly. She was anxious.
As she got out with Blair, Nicole felt more worried.
"Blair, send me to the Don's."
"Why?"
Blair was a little surprised.
Nicole shook her head, but she had got a plan in her heart.
Blair couldn't refuse as she insisted, so he drove Nicole to the Don's.
Mark and Jason were surprised to see Nicole return at this time.
"What's wrong? You had a fight with Samuel?"
"No. I just feel confused about something. I want to discuss it with you."
Nicole wrapped her coat tighter. She felt a little cold.
"Come on in."
Mark thanked Blair and asked Nicole to get in.
It was warm indoors, but Nicole still had her eyebrows knitted.
"What happened?"
Jason was very worried and hurriedly asked.
Nicole looked at Mark and asked, "Uncle Mark, when you left the Green’s, was Samuel at home?"
"Right. I wanted to ask you about that. You have gone out with Samuel. So why did he come back
alone? There seems to be something wrong with the Green family."
"What's it?"
Hearing Mark's words, Nicole clenched her fists nervously.
Mark thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Lucas tell you? A man went to the Green's and said he
was Samuel's father. But his father die long ago, didn’t he? Anyway, it's a matter of the Green family. I
should not get involved, so I decided to leave. I wanted to take the children here, but Samuel went
back. He said he would handle it and take care of the children, so I came back alone. What happened?
You didn't go to the Green's? "
Nicole came to ask him, so Mark guessed that she didn't go back. Otherwise, she would have known
about these things.
Hearing this, Nicole's was dumbfounded now.
Olivia said she saw Samuel lead a team, claiming that they would pull down the Kent's. And Mark said
Samuel's father was back. But he had died.
What exactly was going on?
Samuel hadn't called her. Was it because of this family matter?
Nicole suddenly remembered what Samuel said before she left. He said she could help him from
outside if she didn't go back. And if they went back together...
Thinking of this, Nicole became more worried.
"I called Samuel, but he didn’t answer the phone. I don't know what's going on. Samuel asked me to
stay at the Hawk's. But I was too worried. I don't know what's going on in the Green's now, so I came
here. Uncle Mark, Uncle Jason, if things go wrong, please..."
Nicole looked at them with pleading eyes.
Mark and Jason said together, "Everyone in the Don's will be at your side if you need us."
"Thank you."
Nicole was moved, but she still didn't want to go to bed.
"I'm calling Lucas to ask about the situation."
The children were probably sleeping, but Nicole wanted to make sure that they were alright.
Mark nodded.
Nicole took out her phone and called Lucas.
It rang a few times before Lucas answered it.
"Mommy?"
Lucas’ voice was hoarse, with a hint of sleepiness.
Nicole felt sorry for waking him up. She asked, "Were you sleeping?"
"Yeah, why else can I do at this time?"
Lucas yawned and looked at the clock. It was 4:40 in the morning.
"Mommy, are you at home? I can go to your room now."
"I'm not at home."
Nicole was surprised.
She thought that something had happened there, but Lucas was sleeping as usual. It meant that there
was nothing wrong. So why didn't Samuel call her?
And what happened to the man who claimed to be Samuel's father?
Nicole had so many questions.
When Lucas heard that Nicole was not at home, he immediately took a sip of water to wake himself up.
Then he asked, "Mommy, where are you?"
"I’m at your Grandpa Mark's. Has your daddy gone back home? Who is the man who claimed to be
your grandfather?"
Lucas yawned and said, "Samuel is at home. I heard that the man looks exactly the same as
Grandfather. However, Samuel called him uncle. He seemed to be the second uncle of Samuel. They
went into the study. I don’t know what they say to each other. Anyway, he soon left. And Samuel stayed
in the study for a long time. When he came out, he asked us to go to bed. And he went to the bedroom.
I thought you would be back in a while. I was too tired, so I just went to bed and didn’t wait for you."
Now Nicole knew what happened. But she didn't feel relieved and frowned deeper.
'Samuel's second uncle?'
'Wasn't he missing?'
Years ago, Nicole heard from Laurel that Samuel's second uncle competed with his father for the right
of managing the Green family. But then he went missing.
While investigating about Vincent's matter, Samuel also looked for his uncle. He thought that his uncle
was related to the things that happened. At last, it turned out that it had nothing to do with him, so
Samuel stopped looking for him. And he had never showed up. Laurel's matter was just over, and this
man suddenly appeared, saying that Samuel was his son. What was going on?
Nicole felt rather confused.
"Mommy? Did you hear me?"
Lucas did not hear Nicole's voice, so he asked loudly.
Nicole was startled. She hurriedly said, "Yes. Go back to sleep now. I am staying at your Grandpa
Mark's tonight. I'll go back in the morning."
"Alright."
Lucas hung up the phone. But Nicole didn't have the mood to have a rest.
Mark looked at her worried face and patted her shoulder, "It's alright. The Green family's affairs have
been complicated. But Samuel is in charge now. Don't worry. He is on your side. He won't make things
difficult for you. No matter what his uncle wants to do, he will protect you. If you don't want to stay at
the Green's, you can come here. I heard that you have been reunited with your grandfather? It's also
good if you want to go to accompany your mother."
Nicole nodded. She still felt a little confused, but she knew that Mark was right.
"Uncle Mark, Uncle Jason, you can go sleep now. I'm a little sleepy. I will go upstairs, take a shower,
and go to bed. Perhaps everything will be fine tomorrow."
"Right!"
Hearing what she said, they finally felt relieved.
Nicole went to her room. After shower, she checked her messages, but there was nothing from
Samuel.
She didn't know what Samuel was thinking. She didn't know his attitude.
Samuel had been angered by the matter about Olivia. She had gone too far in the Nightspot Zone that
day. Nicole even felt that he might kill Olivia.
He didn't call or text her. He had never been so indifferent to her.
Nicole felt upset.
'I could not endure it as a woman, let alone Samuel. He is such a proud man.'
'He must be angry.'
Nicole sighed and sent a message to Samuel.
"I'm sorry. Forget about what happened today. Olivia was sad. Don't take it seriously. If you still feel
uncomfortable, we can go out for a walk to relax."
After Nicole sent the message, she thought that Samuel was asleep. Therefore, she decided to turn off
the phone and have a rest. But the phone suddenly rang. It was a message.
"It's alright."
His reply made Nicole even more uncomfortable.
'He hasn't gone to bed!'
'He's still awake. So why didn't he send me a message? Why didn't he call me?'
Nicole was rather disappointed.
She felt like crying, but she held the tears back.
"You haven't slept yet? It's too late tonight. I'm not going back. I'll go home tomorrow morning."
"OK."
His reply was still simply.
Nicole could even feel his coldness.
'Does he really get angry?'
She held the phone, wondering what to do.
'Perhaps we need some time to cool down.'
Nicole put the phone on the bedside table and lied on the bed. She waited for a long time but the
phone didn’t ring again. At last, she fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already past eight o'clock in the morning.
Nicole hurriedly got up and washed up. She did not expect to sleep for so long.
She went downstairs. Mark had gone out. Jason saw her and asked her to have breakfast.
Nicole shook her head and said, "I'm going home. I'll have breakfast there. Bye. Uncle Jason."
"Let me have someone drive you home."
Jason could tell that Nicole couldn't wait to go back. He had planned to keep her, but now he changed
his mind.
Nicole did not refuse his offer.
When she arrived at the Green's, she saw people taking things out.
"What is going on?"
She hurriedly got out of the car.
The servants stopped as they saw Nicole. One of them said, "Mr. Green asked us to take these things
to the apartment on South Avenue. He said he would be staying there for the next a few days."
The words were a huge blow to Nicole.
If anyone should get angry for what had happened, it should be her! What did Samuel mean by this?
He wanted to move out?
