Samuel felt a little bit jealous, but he knew that Nicole's concern for Tim had nothing to do with love.
"Alright, tidy up. I'll go and worship Zama."
Samuel patted Nicole on her shoulder and turned around to leave.
Nicole looked at Samuel's back. Although there were many grudges between her and Zama, she did not want to make a fuss about it. After all, Zama passed away.
She went back to her room to get dressed. Then, she came to Zama's grave.
Kneeling down, Samuel kowtowed to Zama.
Nicole did not know what he was talking to Zama. She was just a daughter-in-law.
"I'll kowtow to Zama."
Nicole's words confused Samuel. Then he felt touched.
"You don't have to do so. I know what she did before she died. She did great harm to you and the children."
"You said that she had been cruel to me, but she cured you and me before she died, which offset her misdeeds, right?"
Nicole stepped forward and kowtowed.
Looking at the Zama's photo on her tombstone, Nicole thought of her eight years of marriage, and reminded herself that she must cherish what she had now.
"Samuel, let's go home. I miss the children."
Nicole suddenly felt that no matter who or no matter what happened, nothing would be more important than being together with the family members.
"Alright. We'll be leaving soon."
Samuel and Nicole smiled at each other and clasped their fingers together.
When Trevin found them, Nicole had already packed her things.
"What are you...?"
"Go back to the Seapolis City. I still say the same thing. After graduation, come to the Seapolis City and find me. Since we are from the same place, I'll offer you a job. However, you should be qualified. Otherwise, even if I want to give you a chance, I won't help you."
Hearing Samuel's words, Trevin nodded gratefully.
"I will work hard, Mr. Green."
"See you later!"
"See you later."
Nicole and Samuel left the Harper Town.
Before boarding the plane, Nicole commissioned a lawyer to give the travel agency to Tim. She herself was not interested in it. Now that Tim only wanted to give Maia shares, it would be better to directly give the agency to him.
Nicole was not a person who wronged herself.
She and Maia weren't on the same side, so they naturally wouldn't be together in the future. Rather than becoming directors of a company, it would be better to send the company out directly, so she would never see Maia.
Samuel did not prevent Nicole doing so.
Tim was in shock when he received the letter of attorney.
He thought Nicole had a good impression of Maia, so he did not understand why Nicole gave him the company when he suggested that Maia should take a stake in the company.
Maia looked at the letter of attorney in Tim's hand and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
"What's wrong with you and Nicole?"
Maia was stunned for a moment, then she quickly smiled and said, "What can happen to us? We're fine."
Tim looked at Maia without saying anything. Then, he put away the document.
"You'd better not have shares of Nicole's travel company. If you agree, I'll give you another sum of money. You can start one your company. After all, partnership business is not easy to do."
Tim's words shocked Maia for a moment. "It's Ok for me. I don't have to own a travel company. You don't have to worry about me. I can support myself. I know that people like Lady Bush definitely don't like working with ordinary people like me."
"What nonsense? Nicole is not the kind of person you said."
Tim was suddenly a little angry.
Although he didn't know what had happened between Nicole and Maia, he knew that it wasn't Nicole's fault when he heard Maia's strange tone.
Could it be that Maia did something excessive to Nicole?
Tim closed her eyes, the image of Nicole and Maia in the ward surfacing in his mind. They had no communication at all.
It's his fault that he didn't notice it at that time.
Nicole must be extremely disappointed in him, right?
He even offended his best friend because he fell in love with a girl.
Seeing that Tim close her eyes and ignore her, Maia felt somewhat aggrieved.
"Do you care about Nicole so much?"
Tim immediately opened his eyes.
"Nicole? You don't call her Lady Bush anymore?"
"Lady Bush? I've already resigned. Why should I call her Lady Bush? Tim, you're my boyfriend now, but you want to protect Nicole's benefit. Since you want to know what happened to me and her, I can tell you. I just told her to stay away from my boyfriend in the future. Is there anything wrong with me? "
Hearing her words, Tim immediately frowned.
"Although I like Nicole, it has nothing to do with her. She doesn't have feelings for me at all."
"Yes, she doesn't like you, but you insist on showing your love to her. Why she is innocent? Even she knows that you like her, and that she can't accept you, she keeps close contact with you. Do you want to be two-timing me? I really admire Samuel, who treats his unfaithful wife of easy virtue so kindly. Who knows if she betrayed Samuel outside?"
Just as she finished speaking, Tim slapped her.
Afterwards, Maia was stunned, so was Tim.
"I won't let you insult Nicole!"
Tim knew that she was still furious, but he left without saying anything.
Sitting alone on the hospital bed, Maia was thinking about what Tim had said. She felt more painful.
Why didn't she meet Tim at the best time?
Why did the man she fancied still care about Nicole?
Why did her boyfriend hit her for a woman like Nicole?
She kept asking herself with her face in her hands.
It wasn't the first time that she hadn't been bullied or beaten since childhood, but this was the first time she had been beaten by her boyfriend.
She couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
It's all Nicole's fault!
Without her, she and Tim wouldn't have a quarrel.
It's just a small travel company. Did Nicole really think she liked it?
Since she can't get it, then no one can have it.
A trace of ruthlessness and scheming flashed through Maia's eyes, but she completely restrained herself before Tim returned.
She couldn't let Tim see her evil side, absolutely not.
"Here comes the ice."
Tim came in with the ice cubes.
The moment she received it, Tim held her hand and slapped him in the face.
"God! Tim, are you crazy? What are you doing?"
Maia felt her palms burning, and Tim's left cheek was swollen up.
"I told you to slap me!"
Tim smiled as he looked at Maia. Maia's tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
"You are a lunatic!"
She pushed Tim away and ran out.
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Tim smiled. He believed that Maia had forgiven him. No matter what, it was wrong for him to hit her. He had to give her some practical compensation.
Thinking about it, Tim turned on his phone and checked.
After Maia ran out of the ward, she was extremely sad.
Her phone suddenly rang.
Looking at the caller ID on the screen, her face immediately turned pale.
