Seeing that Nicole had been absent-minded after coming back, Samuel knew that she was thinking
about what happened to Tim. When no one was around them, he leaned forward and whispered into
Nicole’s ear, “Nothing happens to time. Indeed, Mr. Ethan comes to the neighboring country not simply
for Rheumatoid Arthritis. But I guess it doesn’t have any relationship with his health condition. I heard
they come there for business. Mr. Ethan will deliver the family’s businesses to Tim later, so he takes
him to that country to broaden his horizon. At the same time, he can enjoy the sweet time with Evelyn.
Don’t think too much of it.”
Nicole was stunned when she heard Samuel’s words.
“How do you know this?”
“I asked my men to investigate it before they came here.”
Nicole was shocked and asked, “You investigated Mr. Ethan? Aren’t you afraid…”
“If Tim didn’t help me deliver the news from the inside, do you think that I could arrange them into the
Mason family’s ship?”
Nicole immediately figured it out.
Well, if Tim wanted to do so, she indeed had to respect his decision.
Laurence was then sent into the palace. Although Davon didn’t want to get out of Phoenix’s bed, he still
dressed himself and got out of the bed when thinking of Laurence’s emergency. He wasn’t sure
whether Laurence would have any reaction after taking the medicine.
Phoenix hugged him from behind and rubbed her curvy, shapely body against Davon. Davon felt more
reluctant to leave more.
“Don’t make a fuss. Laurence is still waiting for me.”
“Well, come back as soon as it’s solved.”
Phoenix also didn’t want Davon to leave.
They had separated from each other for two years and now Davon finally come back. Phoenix always
felt unreal and she was so afraid that it was just a dream and Davon would disappear when she
opened her eyes. She would only felt relieved when she could touch him for real.
Naturally Davon could understand how Phoenix felt at the moment. He patted the back of her hand to
comfort her and said with distress, “I promise I will come back when it’s solved.”
“Kiss me.”
Phoenix pouted like a kid.
How would Davon refuse it?
He ferociously pressed Phoenix onto the bed and kissed her passionately, hoping so much that this
moment would last.
When Phoenix felt breathless and almost fainted, she heard Davon’s low voice. “Wait for me. I will
come back soon.”
Then Phoenix felt the person next to her walking out of the palace.
She suddenly felt all the energy in her body was drained out. She couldn’t explain that loneliness.
Crossing her arms in front of her chest, Phoenix pondered for a while and then dressed herself and got
out of bed. Only then did she realize that her legs were so feeble. She subconsciously curled her lips
into a smile.
This man was as energetic as he was in the past.
Nicole was a bit stunned when seeing Davon originally she thought he would not come at this moment.
But when seeing his expression, she realized that he must have had satisfactory sex.
“Davon, Laurence has taken the medicine you gave us and he’s now in your laboratory.”
“I will go to see him now. Don’t follow me into the laboratory.”
After all, he didn’t know what the situation would be and he could only try his best to reduce the risk to
a minimum.
Nicole nodded her head. Of course, Samuel didn’t plan to let Nicole enter the room either.
Nicole didn’t know what Davon planned to do to Laurence. She carried her son into the room. Worrying
about the child, Zayn found a doctor to give Lucas a check-up. The doctor said Lucas was weak
because of seasickness and Nicole and Samuel finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After sleeping for the whole night, Lucas finally felt better, but he still looked pale. Zayn asked the
maids to prepare some porridge for him, while Nicole had been taking care of Lucas personally.
Because of Lucas, Nicole didn’t pay too much attention to Samuel. Xander took the opportunity and
made an appointment with Samuel.
“Dad, what’s the matter?”
“I heard that Steven has solved the issue related to Martin and he’s now following the collaboration with
the government. Don’t stand out or involve in this matter. Just act as if you don’t know about this. Since
Steven has dispelled their suspicion on you, you shall not get yourself involved again.”
Samuel was somehow stunned when he heard Xander’s words, but he still nodded his head.
“Okay.”
Seeing that his son-in-law had accepted his advice, Xander felt satisfied and studied him carefully.
When Nicole married Samuel, Xander was not present. Even if he was present, he would not know that
Nicole was his daughter at that time. Therefore, it was hard for Xander to express his feelings towards
this son-in-law.
He was satisfied with Samuel’s deep affection towards Nicole. But Xander, as Nicole’s father, felt
distressed for Nicole and angry at Samuel after learning what Nicole had suffered because of Samuel.
“Treat Nicole well in the future. If you dare to let her suffer again, don’t blame me for being cruel to you.
She has a back-up family now.”
“Dad, I was wrong before. It will not happen again.”
Knowing that his father-in-law was blaming for his wrong doings, Samuel hurriedly admitted his
mistakes.
Satisfied with Samuel’s attitude, Xander heaved a long sigh and said, “Originally I shouldn’t care about
the matters of the Green family. However, it’s relative to my daughter and her son, so I have to warn
you something.”
“Please.”
Xander felt contented when seeing that Samuel was willing to listen to his words.
“Well, I know that the Green family is big and has engaged in many industries. I also know that you
never plan to leave Seapolis. But would you like to expand your business towards overseas? Or to
transfer them? Zayn is the king of Country F, while Steven is the young master of Country R. If you
want to engage in investment, you have some inherent favorable conditions no matter in terms of
interpersonal connections or other aspects.”
Samuel understood that Xander had figured out her current situation when he heard the words.
It was just like the saying: Tall trees catch much wind.
The Green family was receiving attention from many parties at present. Moreover, he was the master of
the Harper Town. Although the mine belonged to the nation and he had been cooperative with the
government in exploiting it, it was the business of the Harper Town after all. Plus raising venomous
insects was a freak practice and it was related to the Don Family and the Shaws family, the
government had been cautious in this aspect.
The thing happened to his son was an example. If he was born in an ordinary family, they would not
care about his blue eyes. As a matter of fact, few people would care about it even if the child had red
eyes.
With that thought, Samuel began to consider transferring his businesses to abroad.
Seeing that Samuel was considering it, Xander said in a low voice, “I know you have a good
relationship with Mr. Morty and that you’re working for him now. But I’m not sure whether Mr. Morty can
become the king or not. From ancient times the kings were all aloof and lonely. I won’t oppose to it if
you want to work for the king and lead that kind of life which is tantamount to living with a tiger, but you
can’t let my daughter and her children lead that kind of life. I’ve decided to retire and only Mark of the
Don family will still work for the government. Although Edwin is still prestigious, he won’t have any heir
a hundred year later. In that case, many families like my family will be able to develop. But the Green
family is so conspicuous now and we’re now in a sensitive period during which a new king will come to
power. You should sleep on these.”
After finishing the words, Xander patted Samuel’s shoulder and leave, leaving Samuel to meditate on it
in the cold wind alone. His eyes gradually turned gloomy.
