The lady did not notice Nicole's expression at all. She was busy telling her husband through the phone that she had earned 10,000 today.
After Nicole heard what she said, she quickly opened the door of the ladies' room, only to see the figure of a person.
She did not see that person clearly. However, Samuel felt rather nervous, as if he had done something bad.
Nicole looked around and went back to the ladies' room. Unfortunately, the lady who had talked to her had already gone.
Nicole felt a little strange and didn't have the nerve to buy the toys anymore. She quickly walked out of the ladies' room and went straight back to the Kent's.
Along the way, she watched carefully to see if there was a car following her.
Samuel realized that Nicole was simply too cautious. Perhaps she had already noticed him.
He changed several routes along the way. Fortunately, he put a tracker in Nicole's car when she was upstairs. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to catch up with her.
Seeing Nicole arrive at the Kent's safely, Samuel felt relieved.
After getting out of the car, Nicole subconsciously looked back. She did not find anyone suspicious. However, she couldn't get rid of the strange feeling of being followed. Accidentally, she saw an unfamiliar car parked somewhere. The lights in the car were turned off. She could not see what was inside, but felt someone watching her through the darkness.
Nicole quickly ran to the front of that car. Samuel suddenly ducked under the seat. His heart was beating hard.
'Has she found me?' he thought.
He held his breath and looked out the window at Nicole with mixed feelings.
Nicole stared at the car for a long time. She frowned, memorized the license plate number, and then returned to the Kent's step by step.
Samuel let out a sigh of relief after Nicole entered the house. His back was drenched in cold sweat. Knowing that he might have been discovered, Samuel couldn't help but smile bitterly. What Nicole would think of this remained a mystery.
He knew that leaving was the best way to get himself under cover now, but he hated to part with her. More than a month of sleeplessness frightened him to be alone. Simply being together with Nicole, even with a gate dividing them, was enough.
When Nicole returned, she happened to meet Booth looking for her.
"Nicole, where were you?"
Nicole smiled and gestured, "Out for a walk."
"I was so worried. I thought you were kidnapped, and almost sent someone to look for you."
"How could it be?"
Nicole was really touched that Booth cared about her so much.
"Where's Olivia?"
Nicole did not see Olivia. She was afraid that Olivia had already gone out to look for her, so she hurriedly gestured to Booth.
Booth smiled and said, "Her boyfriend called. It seems that they are having problems, and she's shouting to him through the phone in the room right now."
Nicole froze slightly.
Jacob?
Yeah.
Jacob was Samuel's assistant. 'Will Samuel find me through Olivia?' Nicole said to herself.
She was a little worried.
She once again recalled what had happened not long ago, as well as the strange feeling of being followed.
"Nicole, what's the matter?"
Booth noticed that Nicole was often absent-minded today. He asked with concern, "Are you feeling under the weather? Do you need me to call the family doctor over here to take a look?"
"No. I'm fine. I just remembered something."
Nicole said embarrassedly.
Olivia suddenly kicked the door open and walked out angrily.
"My dear sister, why are you so irritable today? Did your boyfriend cheat on you?"
Olivia only rolled her eyes at Booth then scolded him.
"Get lost! He'll never cheat on me."
"So protective! If so, why are you taking it out on the door? It did nothing wrong."
Booth knew Olivia's temper.
At first, Olivia was really polite to him. They didn't talk much. But now, perhaps because he had helped Nicole and the others, Olivia was more and more intimate to him. She had gradually stopped caring about her manners.
Hearing this, Olivia's expression turned ugly again.
"What's wrong?" Nicole asked with concern.
"Nothing. Jacob is here in the city now. Somehow, he found out that I was here, too. He insisted that I go see him, but I was still angry about him! Samuel upset you, and he helped! I won't forgive him easily."
Hearing Olivia's words, Nicole's heart skipped a beat.
Jacob was here. What about Samuel?
Was the man she saw at the stall Samuel?
Although she found it somewhat unbelievable, sometimes a woman's sixth sense was very accurate.
Nicole suddenly ran to the window and saw that the car was still there. She wanted to verify her thought.
Booth noticed her actions and looked along her line of sight. He was astonished to find a suspicious Land Rover parking downstairs.
"Whose car is that? Why is it parked in front of our house?"
"What car?"
Olivia hurriedly came over.
"I'll take a look."
Olivia had already guessed what Nicole was thinking.
Nicole grabbed Olivia's arm and wanted to go out together with her.
Booth whispered, "It's better if I join you. What if it's someone bad? You might be in danger."
Olivia did not refuse.
She curled up on the bed, feeling really cold. It was as if she was the only one left in the world. The sense of loneliness she felt could not be relieved even if she was surrounded by crowd.
The ring in her palm was a little piercing, but she couldn't let it go.
The word "Samuel" seemed to have been branded on her heart. Every time she thought of it, it hurt.
Booth didn't know why Nicole suddenly left. When the security guard came, they confirmed that the car didn't belong to this area.
Olivia frowned slightly, as if she had realized something.
She quickly called Jacob.
"Is Samuel in Land City?"
Jacob didn't know how to answer.
"Olivia, can you leave this matter? I'm serious. It is not what you think. At that time, Mr. Green was not at home, and he didn't know what his wife had gone through. Besides, you do not know what he's like for the past month."
"I'm simply asking you if Samuel is here. Yes, or no?"
Olivia suddenly became tough. Jacob realized that she was really angry.
He thought for a moment and said, "No. He is not here."
"Jacob, great job. You actually lied to me. That's right, Samuel is the most important to you, right? Who am I? I am nothing compared to him."
Hearing Olivia's words, Jacob was somewhat angry.
"And you are talking about me? Nicole is the most important to you, isn't she? Have you ever thought about my feelings? You even cancelled me to help her hide from Mr. Green. You did not even leave any hint for me. Olivia, is it me who don't care about you, or is it you who don't care about me?"
Olivia suddenly felt a lump in the throat. She was a little sad.
"Alright, since that's the case, then let's break up. The engagement too. Anyway, I'm not worthy for you."
After saying that, she hung up the phone directly. It was just that her eyes were somewhat red.
Seeing her like this, Booth put his arms around Olivia's shoulders. He said, "Olivia, you still have me. Even if you can't find a boyfriend for the rest of your life, I'll support you."
"Piss off!"
Olivia was sad, but hearing what Booth said, she immediately felt a little better.
She looked at Nicole's room. The lights were on. She said somewhat uncomfortably, "Find out whose license plate number is this. If it really belongs to Samuel, I will definitely not let him off."
"Samuel? Is that Samuel Green from the Seapolis City?"
Booth had never known who Nicole loved. He only felt that it wasn't easy for a woman to end up like this. Now that he heard Olivia say Samuel's name, he couldn't help but be surprised.
Samuel was so famous, so great. How could he live with the fact that his wife was leading a miserable life?
Olivia didn't care how famous Samuel was. She glared at Booth and quickly returned to Nicole's room.
"Nicole, open the door. Let's talk."
However, Nicole did not make a sound at all.
Olivia knocked a few more times, but there was still no response. She hurriedly asked the butler to open the door, only to see Nicole curl up in the bed, trembling.
