Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 288: Tim and I Are Just Friends

Who would it be?

Nicole turned around and saw Samuel standing on the porch, looking at her and Tim, with a hint of

anger in his eyes.

She rubbed her eyes hard, thinking she was having a dream.

How did Samuel come here?

Didn't he just have the operation a little while ago?

And Lucas said Samuel needed to rest and recuperation. Why would be he here?

Nicole thought she was hallucinating.

How much she missed Samuel!

She missed him so much after only one day of being away from him.

With a wry smile, Nicole turned her head again, feeling helpless.

Samuel expected Nicole to push Tim away and quickly came to him, but Nicole was only slightly

surprised when she saw him,

and then looked away as if she had not seen him and allowed Tim to continue to lean on her shoulder.

From where he saw, Tim and Nicole were too intimate.

He knew Nicole wouldn't cheat on him, but Tim's feelings for Nicole were well known.

Now Tim was so in love with Nicole, couldn't Nicole know about it?

Samuel flared up.

He trotted up to Nicole.

The huge shadow made Nicole and Tim look up at the same time.

Nicole was somewhat surprised to see Samuel again.

Tim sat up lazily and said softly, "Don’t get me wrong. She is helpless sitting here alone, so I

accompany her."

"You can get lost now.’

There was a chill in Samuel’s voice. And Nicole, no matter how stupid she was, knew Samuel was

angry.

It was no wonder that Samuel didn't look well when seeing some man lean against his wife in the

middle of the night.

“Tim was just passing by,” Nicole said, "He didn’t mean anything."

It was fine if Nicole had kept her mouth shut, but now she was speaking for Tim, Samuel looked even

worse.

Tim, who knew Samuel's temper, slowly stood up and said, “You don't think your wife would do

anything behind your back, do

you?"

"Get out of here now if you don't want to die.”

Samuel didn’t want to see Tim at all. If it weren't for the fact that they were in the hospital, he’d probably

just beat Tim out of

here, even though he was weak.

"Well, what a man!"

Tim gave Samuel a contemptuous glance and then said to Nicole, "Well, your man is here. It's time for

the back-up to leave."

Tim's words sounded glib. Nicole didn’t say anything and just gave him a glare, letting him go.

But just because Nicole didn't say anything, Samuel looked even worse.

After Tim left, the silence in the hallway was suffocating.

Nicole looked at Samuel and wanted to know how he was, but Samuel was now so frosty and distant

that she didn’t know what

to say.

Samuel waited for Nicole to comfort him, but when Nicole did not speak for a long time, Samuel's anger

rose.

"Have I come at a wrong time?"

It sounded a bit strange and harsh.

For a moment Nicole momentarily took in the meaning of Samuel's words.

She told herself not to take it seriously. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was always narrow-minded, and he must have been worried about Zoe and her so that he would

come all the way here, but he was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Can you be a bit nicer?"

Nicole tried to keep her tone as smooth as possible.

Samuel was even more depressed when he saw her like this.

"What? What do you want to hear?"

"Samuel, if you came over here to quarrel with me, I’m sorry. I'm not in the mood."

Nicole thought Samuel was too aggressive.

There was nothing going on between her and Tim. Didn't Samuel know how much she love him? Just

because he saw Tim was with her, he was jealous.

Normally, Nicole would have explained and said nice things, but today she wasn't really in the mood.

The deal with Soseph had exhausted her, and Zoe's fever had once again left her distraught.

When Samuel arrived, she was, to be honest, happy. But when Samuel was so angry and jealous,

Nicole really didn’t have much strength to deal with it.

But the more she was like this, the more Samuel felt that Nicole was being too cold for him.

"You're not in the mood? Seems that you were in good mood chatting with Tim when I wasn't here. If I

were not here, have you forgotten that you were outside the operating room and your daughter was still

in there?"

No sooner had he said this than he regretted for what he had said when he saw the hurt and pain in

Nicole's eyes.

But he had to withstand and not to compromise or feel heartache.

He had to let Nicole know that she had to stay away from guys like Tim.

Nicole felt so terrible to see Samuel so unreasoning, but she said nothing.

Even though he was jealous, he should know the bottom line, shouldn't he?

Why did he do that?

Nicole just turned her head. She didn't want to say anything, just in case she would argue with Samuel.

But the more Nicole kept silent, the more Samuel became restless.

"Nicole, I'm talking to you!"

"Go back to the hospital. Lucas said you need to rest. You should go back."

Not long ago, she had wished she could have Samuel by her side, but at this moment, she was so

tired.

She didn't want to quarrel with Samuel at all.

When Nicole sent him away, his face turned sour again.

"Are you driving me away? I just woke up and was worried about you and Zoe, so I sneaked out alone,

despite the doctor's advice. Nicole, what the hell is wrong with you now?"

Samuel didn't know about Nicole's deal with Soseph, but Laurel just told him that Soseph donated her

kidney to Zoe.

He thought Soseph was returning Nicole's favor for saving her life. He had previously been unfriendly

to Soseph, but now he

planned to give Soseph some care and attention because she had saved Zoe's life.

He thought Nicole would have been happy, as Zoe was saved after all.

But he had no idea why Nicole was in such a low mood that he felt as if he had done something wrong.

But what had he done?

Samuel could only blame it on Tim's provocations.

That bastard must have said something to Nicole.

Thinking of this, Samuel’s eyes grew colder and colder.

"Did Tim say something? I'll go find him!”

With that, he turned to leave, but was stopped by Nicole.

"It has nothing to do with Tim. Samuel, can you be reasonable?"

Nicole found Samuel particularly irrational tonight and she was a bit impatient.

Samuel had never seen Nicole being impatient before, and now that Nicole was getting a little impatient

with him, he became

more suspicious that Nicole was fighting him for Tim.

“Am I not sensible? If I wasn’t sensible, I would have beat him when I saw him leaning on your

shoulder.’

"He just wanted to rest on my shoulder, his mother...’

“What does his mother have to do with you? Nicole, what is on your mind? Does he need you to lend

him a shoulder?"

Samuel interrupted Nicole.

He had been holding on to this for a long time, thinking that nothing would have happened between

Nicole and Tim. But today, the way Tim looked at Nicole made Samuel uncomfortable, and Nicole

argued with Samuel for Tim, which made Samuel even more jealous.

Nicole was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt tired when seeing Samuel's jealousy.

"Tim and I are just friends. Samuel, you think too much.”

"Do I? If I didn't come here, Tim might have done something to you. He's a dandy. It is not a big deal for

him to flirt with a lady."

Nicole couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Samuel right in the face.

"What do you take me for? My daughter is at risk, and you’re doubting if I have cheated on you. Do you

think I am such an

indecent woman?"

Nicole's anger erupted at that moment.

Samuel suddenly froze and realized what he was saying when he saw Nicole with tears in her eyes.

"No, Nicole, I..."

"You go home first. I said I don’t want to quarrel with you. Tim and I are innocent. If you think me as

such a wretched woman, do as you please.’

Nicole sat in the chair, but turned her face away from Samuel.

She felt deeply aggrieved.

In order to save Zoe, she had to agree to Soseph’'s terms. She didn’t have much time to spend with

Samuel, as she was about to watch Soseph hog her beloved man for three months. But Samuel still

suspected that she and Tim had some skeleton in their closet.

What was wrong with him?

Thinking of this, Nicole began to shed tears.

She was not a woman who liked to cry, but this moment she felt inexplicably aggrieved.

Nicole wiped the tears from her face, but they kept falling down.

Samuel was shocked by Nicole's tears.

"Nicole, don’t cry. I was wrong. I was wrong, okay? Don't be serious with me. I’m jealous. I'm an

asshole. I know you won't do that, and if you feel unhappy, you can beat me."

Samuel quickly squatted down in front of Nicole and tried to grab her hand, but Nicole threw him away.

"Nicole..."

There was a hint of sadness in Samuel's voice, but Nicole just kept crying.

Samuel sprang to his feet. He held Nicole’s head and pressed his cold lips against her red ones.
