Samuel's voice wasn't loud, and there weren't even any emotional ups and downs, but it inexplicably made Nicole shudder.
She hadn't seen Samuel like this for a long time.
Steven frowned deeply.
"I don't want to fight with you. It's just that Ashley has been in the operation room all day."
After hearing what Steven said, Booth spoke immediately.
"We're not in a hurry. We can do it tomorrow."
Nicole glanced at Booth. She knew that Booth was putting himself in their shoes. And before she could say anything, Steven said, "Alright then, let's do it tomorrow. My wife is exhausted, and today is my daughter's birthday."
In that case, Nicole and them had no reason to continue.
"OK, we'll go to Dr. Ashley tomorrow. Sorry about that, Mr. Bradford. We have no idea that today is your daughter's birthday."
Nicole was afraid that Samuel would be mad, so she hurriedly spoke first.
Steven looked at Nicole and his expression softened.
"Thank you. I'd like to invite you to my daughter's birthday party tonight." he said.
"We will be there."
Nicole answered quickly.
Samuel still looked unhappy.
"Why are you so courteous to him?" Samuel asked.
Saying that in front of Steven made Nicole a little embarrassed.
"Shut up."
She whispered, but Steven heard it clearly. The corners of his mouth turned up in a slight smile.
"Sam, your wife knows better than you."
"Get lost!"
Samuel couldn't bear to be here with Steven for one more minute, so he took Nicole and Booth directly to a nearby hotel.
Steven smiled and said, "You don't need to stay in a hotel. I have a house here."
"Not my business!"
Samuel didn't appreciate it at all. He took Nicole and left quickly, childishly showing his unhappiness completely on his face.
Nicole found that incredibly funny.
"Why are you so childish? After all, he is Dr. Ashley's husband. Besides, we really don't know that today is his daughter's birthday. What gift are we going to buy her?"
Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel harrumphed coldly, "What do you want to buy for his daughter? His daughter is the apple of his eye. It's not surprising even if you get the moon for her. Don't think too much. Just buy something that suits you girls' taste. I'm just a little angry. We used to be friends, and he embarrassed me in front of my wife."
Hearing Samuel's reason, Nicole immediately laughed.
"Really? Are you really this naïve?"
"Yes, I am."
Samuel checked in as he spoke.
Ernesto brought Booth back to his room first.
Nicole was a little worried. Samuel whispered, "It's fine. I've already told Ernesto to get a care worker. Someone will look after Booth tonight. Don't worry."
"You are always more thoughtful than me."
Nicole relaxed now.
After tidying up, the two of them went to the party of Steven's daughter.
Steven hadn't been back yet. Nicole and Samuel sat in a corner. Looking at all kinds of people here, Nicole sighed, "What does this Mr. Bradford do? I think there are people of all kinds."
"He's the boss of the Dark Empire. What do you think?"
Samuel's words stunned Nicole.
This was completely new to her, but Nicole could tell it from Steven.
"We won't see any mafia of any country here, right?"
"Maybe."
Samuel wasn't sure.
If it wasn't Nicole who insisted on coming, he actually didn't want Nicole to be here. After all, there was a mix of people. He was really afraid that something bad would happen to her.
Nicole was a little surprised.
The two of them did not greet anyone, trying to keep a low profile.
Samuel kept asking Nicole to eat more food.
To be honest, the food here was really good, and Nicole had eaten quite a lot.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Nicole said.
Nicole really stuffed her face.
"Do you need me to go with you?"
Samuel was a little cautious.
Nicole knew what Samuel was worried about. She smiled and said, "There is no need. I'm just going to the bathroom. Don't worry. I promise that I will talk to no one and keep my head down the whole way, never letting those guys notice me."
"That's not what I meant."
Samuel was a little depressed.
"Forget it, just go."
He thought silently that it would be better to find someone to follow Nicole later. After all, the good and bad people were mixed up in here.
As he agreed, Nicole got up and walked towards the bathroom.
"I'll be back soon."
"Alright."
Samuel nodded, but still he asked someone to follow her.
Nicole obviously knew that Samuel didn't trust her to go alone, so she usually turned a blind eye to his arrangements.
Nicole walked to the front door of the bathroom. There were indeed many people. They were all noble ladies, and some of them were even wearing name brand clothes. Compared to them, Nicole's clothing was a little casual.
