Nicole felt an oncoming headache.Before this, Nicole had always thought that Nathaniel was just a poor explorer.Had she known that Nathaniel was Eric Ferguson’s nephew, she would not have promised so blatantly that she would support him for the rest of her life.‘I can’t afford to take care of this gentry!’ Nicole thought.“I…”Before Nicole could finish her sentence, Kai interrupted her. “Is the Ferguson family trying to blackmail us? Just state your price then. It’s not like we can’t afford this money!”‘It’s merely $15 billion! Only those pirates who haven’t seen the world think it’s so much anyway.’Kai then looked at Nathaniel and frowned. “Where do you get the cheek to cling onto our family, huh? Feeding you is just a waste of resources! Get lost!”Nathaniel did not mind Kai’s attitude. Instead, he smiled politely at Kai. “Third Brother... I’m young, strong, and obedient. I swear it’s not a waste of resources to help me. What’s more, I can support myself too. All I want
Eric’s voice was magnetic, mellow, deep, and raspy. The emotions in his eyes were suppressed and restrained.As soon as his words fell, the air almost froze.The blood on Nicole’s face drained in an instant.Her eyes carried disbelief. ‘Have I misheard? He wanted... Me? The person who wanted to throw me away like a bag of trash back then actually chose me?!’Nicole was perplexed and could not believe what she just heard. ‘What exactly did Eric Fergusons want?’The silence in the air gradually ate away at her calmness.Eric’s eyes were locked onto Nicole’s face, watching every emotion and detail from her face closely.Shock, amazement, detachment, resistance...Fortunately, among so many emotions, there was no disgust!Eric moved closer to her and wanted to touch her hair. He wanted her to feel that his affection was real. He was sincere.However, before he could touch her, Nicole subconsciously backed away like she was afraid of him.Earlier, Nicole did not react when Na
Nicole lowered her eyelids and stroked Tigger, who was in her arms. She looked like she was done talking to him.Even so, Eric refused to give up. ‘How could I give up so easily? I deserved that stab in the heart!’Eric smiled miserably and made an effort to look warm.He looked down and took out a photo he had been staring at countless times from his pocket. His fingertips were white from pinching it so hard.Nicole had saved his life before, but she had never mentioned it.Eric did not believe that she would really forget all those feelings she had for him.His voice was magnetic and raspy as he said, “Nicole, I still owe you a life. You never told me that the person in the photo was you.”If Eric had known that it was her, then he would not have ignored her existence in their marriage.At the very least, he would not let their marriage come to such a disastrous end.Nicole glanced at that photo. Her expression stiffened as she was stunned.Her breath stalled for a moment.
Although Kai was just standing outside the door, the soundproofing of this room was really amazing.Thus, Kai did not get to hear anything.Eric inexplicably left such a weird sentence, so how could Kai not be curious?Nicole pursed her lips. Her eyes flickered slightly, so she looked down and said, “Nothing. K, how long do we have to get home?”“Two or three days.”Kai frowned. ‘It better be nothing, otherwise, I won’t forgive that jerk, Eric Ferguson!’Tigger, who was in Nicole’s arms, poked his head out and said in a cute and soft voice, “Papa left… Papa’s so sad…”Kai was baffled.Nicole said, “Papa? Are you talking about Eric Ferguson?!”Tigger sighed insouciantly and said, “Mama rejected Papa, so he’s really sad…”Kai strode over in two steps and picked Tigger up by the neck.“What the hell?! Didn’t you hate him? You little traitor!”Tigger wiggled his legs and said in indignation, “Hmph! The Great God Maverick said that you have to be objective! He’s already modified
After hanging up the phone, Kai looked at Eric with a hostile gaze.“What are you doing here? No one’s here to help you now!”Before this, Eric relied on his army buddies to carry Kai, who refused to budge, out of the way. It was simply bullying, and Kai felt humiliated.Eric’s gaze was dark. “I’ll contact my friend who’s a psychiatrist.”The psychiatrist who Eric recommended was probably great, but Kai immediately refused.“No need for that. Grant will get it sorted, so you don’t need to worry about it.”Eric wanted to say something else, but Maverick also agreed with Kai and politely refused Eric’s offer.After all, a psychiatrist would get into one’s privacy and weaknesses, and Nicole must not want her weaknesses to be seen by Eric or his friends.Late at night.Kai was resting on the sofa outside Nicole’s room.Eric sat by Nicole’s bed and quietly looked at her face that kept changing in her sleep, which was sometimes nervous, scared, or calm.He did not feel sleepy at a
This social media account had a very high following. That was because Nathaniel’s identity was special, and his handsome features made him a true homme fatale.The most important thing was that this account never posted any fake videos. The shooting process was thrilling, real, and always surprising.Nathaniel had not updated his work for nearly a month, so everyone was worried for his safety. Unexpectedly, he released his latest work online.In just a few minutes, it caused a huge sensation.Nathaniel was in a primitive tribe on the Atlantic Island. More importantly, Nicole appeared to be on the adventure with Nathaniel.The woman whom everyone thought had died in the plane crash actually came back to life!Nicole’s rate of appearance in the video was not high, but the most exciting part of the video was on that rainy night when the indigenous people were chasing them.Nathaniel had strapped the camera to his body, so he did not appear in many of the shots.The pair ran for th
Hearing those voices, Nicole frowned slightly. “That sounds like Yvette…”Kai was doubtful. “Really?”He then stood up and went outside. When he came back, he brought Yvette, Julie, and Ian with him.The three of them were all red-eyed. Yvette jumped over as soon as she saw Nicole. “Lil N!”Julie also wanted to jump at Nicole, but Kai grabbed her clothes to stop her.“One by one! Don’t touch my sister’s wounds!”Julie immediately stopped fighting him. The worry in her eyes was unconcealed. “You’re injured?!”Nicole patted Yvette’s back and looked at Julie with a smile. “I’m fine now, mostly recovered!”Ian Carter, who was standing on the side, looked so disheveled, thin, and drained. He even had stubble all over his jaw from not having shaved for days.Seeing that Nicole was fine, Ian kneeled on one knee in front of Nicole’s hospital bed and started to sob. Yvette, who was also choking back sobs, was speechless.Julie was too shocked to say anything. Suddenly, the somew
In a few days, the online discussion was getting more and more intense. The number of views and comments was soaring, and this video spread like wildfire.Nicole was almost fully recovered and was ready to leave the hospital. Under layers of coverings and disguise, she was still recognized as soon as she went out.Numerous microphones and reporters swarmed over to Nicole.“Ms. Stanton, are all of those experiences real?”“Ms. Stanton, is there anything you want to say after surviving this ordeal?”“Do you think that this plane crash was an accident?”“Are you planning to take your relationship with Nathaniel Ferguson further?”......Countless reporters blocked the entrance of the hospital with their cameras flashing.The bodyguards formed a protective circle around them, shielding Nicole and Kai in the center.The crowd was overwhelming, and Kai was getting slightly impatient with all these reporters. Having lived in the spotlight for so long, Kai knew that these people woul
