Sally?
Nicole was stunned.
Wasn't it wrong time for her to come back?
Why was she still back?
Had someone sent message to Edwin or not?
Samuel paused for a moment as Nicole was stunned. He followed her gaze and saw Sally too.
Sally walked out of the airport hurriedly alone and no one followed her. She wore sunglasses and a hat.
People that didn’t her well would not recognize her.
"Ernesto, send someone to follow her."
"Yes, Mr. Green."
Ernesto did as Samuel ordered right away.
"Samuel, what brings Sally back? Did something happen at the Seapolis City? Will Zayn come? Will
Major be here?"
Nicole was a little worried.
Samuel put his arm round her tightly and said, "Forget about it. Let's go."
"Alright."
They back to the Shaw's villa while they were still thinking about this.
However, Samuel and Nicole were attacked by Tim as soon as they walked in.
"Samuel, you're such a wicked man. Haven't you said that you are going to get married today? Where
were you then?"
"The wedding is over."
Samuel said indifferently and threw them a USB flash disk.
Out of curiosity, Tim plugged the USB flash disk into a TV. The wedding video was played on at once.
Nicole was stunned. She had no idea when Samuel made this video. As soon as she saw how happy
Samuel and she were in the video, Nicole smiled.
Tim was depressed.
"You are so wicked. Is this your wedding?"
"Yes, it is. I've never asked you to attend our wedding ceremony."
Samuel said calmly. Tim was a little angry after he heard Samuel's reply.
"But you said yesterday that I could play tricks on you two as you did on me."
"Sorry, it's almost twelve o'clock and today is over. You had the chance, yet you didn't cherish it. Don't
blame me."
Hearing Samuel's outrageous words, Tim really wished to kill him.
Evelyn shook her head.
Tim could never take advantage of Samuel, but he refused to admit it.
"Nicole, you must be very tired after taking a long flight. Why don't you go to bed early?"
Evelyn said.
Nicole smiled and said, "I'm fine. I'll stay up late to greet the New Year with you. Where's Grandpa?"
"Edwin is in his room. He said that he would come downstairs when you are back."
Nicole wanted to see Edwin.
Samuel knew what was in Nicole mind and nodded.
Nicole went upstairs immediately.
Tim was still wondering how to get Samuel to put on the chastity shorts. Samuel sneered and said,
"You are such a fool. Do you really believe that I will spend a whole night to unlock it as you did?"
"What?"
Tim was stunned.
"How did you know that?"
The way Samuel looked at Tim as if he looked at a fool.
Evelyn couldn't bear it anymore and pulled Tim back.
"Stop it. It's so embarrassing."
"What? I'm just asking."
Tim's words made Samuel wanted to laugh.
"Well, those locks are programmed. You can use the computer to unlock them with just one-click. It will
only take few seconds. Who would someone unlock them by their hands like a barbarian?"
Hearing Samuel's words, Tim was dumbfounded.
That could work?
Evelyn also didn't expect that.
She suddenly felt that she was a fool. She and Tim spent a whole night to figure it out and now Samuel
told them that they could be unlocked with one-click?
Tim was not convinced. He went to his room and took out the chastity shorts. After checking carefully,
he did find an unlock button in the pants. Tim’s face was gloomy.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"What do you expect me to tell you? It is so simple and you didn't even know how to figure it out. You
didn't even see that obvious unlock button. Tim, you're so stupid."
Samuel teased Tim.
Tim felt that he wanted to hit this man who stood in front of him. But he was stopped by Evelyn.
"Well, it's just a joke. Why do you take it seriously?"
"It ruined my wedding night! How can I stop angry? Anyway, Samuel, you must compensate me for
ruining my wedding night!"
Tim would not let go of Samuel easily.
Samuel looked at him scornfully, "What do you want from me?"
"Well, do you want turn me down?"
"Yes. I'm straight and I don't like men. Please find someone else."
After saying that, Samuel went upstairs to wash up. Tim was angry and he shouted downstairs.
Evelyn felt that they should move back to the Mason's from tomorrow. Otherwise, Samuel would
always be teased Tim for fun.
Nicole knocked on the door gently when she arrived at Edwin's room. She heard that Edwin's voice
came through.
"Who is it?"
"Grandpa, it's me."
Nicole felt that something was wrong in Edwin's voice.
When Edwin heard Nicole's reply, he whispered, "You are back, Nicole? Come in."
Nicole opened the door and entered.
Edwin sat on the bed and pulled something in his hand. He smiled grudgingly when he saw Nicole
walked in.
"Grandpa, what happened? Are you feeling unwell?"
Nicole assumed that Edwin was tired because of Tim's wedding. She asked. Then, she even quickly
went forward and put her hand on Edwin's forehead.
He had no fever.
Noticing concerned expression in Nicole's eyes, Edwin signaled her to close the door.
Nicole came back and sat in front of him after closed the door.
"Grandpa, what happened?"
"She is back, isn't she?"
Edwin grabbed Nicole's hand.
There was a man's watch in his palm.
The watch was an earlier model, but it looked brand new.
Nicole looked it carefully. She noticed that the workmanship of this watch was exquisite.
"This is..."
"Someone put it on my bed. I know that it was Sally. She gave it to me as a New Year gift, is that right?"
Edwin's eyes moistened.
Nicole thought of the figure she saw in the airport. Then she asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, how are you
so sure that it was Auntie Sally? Maybe someone else gave it to you."
"No. You check the watch's back."
Nicole looked at the watch back and found some words.
"Wish you good health, Father. Sally."
Obviously, these words were engraved by someone.
Nicole sank in thought after seeing these.
If this watch was sent by Sally, why didn't she give it to Edwin personally?
"Grandpa, I think we should have someone check it. We need to make sure if it is good. You know, it is
a special period now. We should avoid accidents."
"It’s fine. I've checked it. There's nothing wrong with this watch. Sally gave it to me. I've finally received
my eldest daughter's gift after so many years. But why didn't she come back since she's in this city?
Why didn't she come to see me? Hasn't she forgiven me yet?"
Edwin was so sad that he almost cried.
At this moment, he was no longer a general on the battlefield. He was just a father who expected his
daughter to be back.
Nicole was also sad.
"Grandpa, Auntie Sally may have to resolve something. She will come to see you."
"Will I see her soon? Nicole, I'm old and won't be able to live forever. I don't have many wishes. I just
hope to see my eldest daughter before I die. My poor daughter."
Edwin was in tears.
Nicole was sad and she didn't know how to comfort him.
Firecrackers sounded outside and households rang out the old year and rang in the new now.
"Grandpa, many people are waiting for staying up tonight with you. Moreover, Auntie Sally would also
hope that you’ll be happy if she were here, is that right? Believe me, I will bring Auntie Sally back."
Nicole said with a smile.
"Really?"
"I promise."
Nicole nodded.
Edwin felt a little relieved.
"Well, Lucas came back this morning. He said that he was tired. He is in his room and even did not
have his lunch. I asked someone to call him to have dinner. He said he wanted to sleep. Could you
please go and check?"
Nicole was stunned for a moment after hearing Edwin's words.
"Alright, I'll check."
She headed to Lucas' room anxiously.
Nicole knocked on the door, but there was no response.
She turned the knob to open the door.
Nicole walked in. She saw that Lucas curled up on the bed and felled asleep.
He slept deeply, but restlessly.
Nicole knew that Lucas did not sleep like this before. He looked like insecure now.
Nicole's heart ached slightly.
Nicole walked over and found that Lucas did not covered with a quilt. She directly pulled the quilt over
to cover him.
Lucas' eyes suddenly opened and seized Nicole's wrist. It was so hard that Nicole cried out in pain.
"Lucas, it's Mommy."
Nicole was a little scared and frightened.
Would Lucas' second personality come out?
As Nicole was thinking about this, Lucas was slightly stunned. He then let go of Nicole's wrist.
"Mommy? Why are you here? Have I hurt you?"
Lucas sat up and checked Nicole's wrist with guilt.
Lucas' eyes looked normal under the light. Such a caring look and a concerned attitude would not
come from his second personality.
Nicole was delighted.
"Lucas, have you got over it?"
Watching Mommy's eyes with expectations, Lucas nodded and said, "I have suppressed it. Uncle Blair
said that I will be fine after receiving another week of treatment. Sorry, I have Mommy and Daddy
worried about me."
Lucas rarely called Samuel Daddy. Nicole was very happy when she heard this.
"I'm so glad that you are well. Didn't Zoe come back?"
"No, she didn't. She said that she would stay at the Cawker's with Clair and others. So, I didn't force
her."
Lucas went to the Cawker's and he tried to take Zoe back for celebrating the New Year. But Zoe
refused.
Zoe was a determined girl with a lot of ideas.
Nicole nodded. Looking at her son's exhausted eyes, she said solicitously, "Go to sleep if you're tired.
I'll go downstairs. I will stay up late tonight with Grandpa later."
"No. I'll join all of you there as well."
Lucas shook his head and woke up completely.
"Okay, Mommy will go first."
"OK."
Nicole petted Lucas' head and walked out.
Lucas pressed his fingers into his temples. Then he pulled back the quilt and got out of bed. Instead of
going downstairs, he went to Joseph's room.
"Joseph, do you have sleeping pills? Could you give me two?"
Joseph was frightened as he heard Lucas' words.
