Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 849

"Is he awake?" Blair asked quietly.

But he got no answer but a sharp glare from Nicole. To be honest, he had complicated feelings with Samuel now.

Nicole intended to leave. But finally, she stopped.

"We have to go now."

Blair glanced at Nicole. No outsider should be involved in this matter. Too much words would be taken as excuses for Samuel's wrongdoing. They'd better stay out of the way.

Gabrielle saw Blair's point. She looked at Nicole, sighed, and left with Blair.

Extremely tired and uncomfortable, Samuel opened his eyes and got very surprised.

Where was he?

He turned around and looked at the strange room. When he saw Nicole, he was found in a trance.

"Nicole? Why are you here?"

Samuel was wearing a vacant expression.

Nicole heaved a sigh. Although she felt much hurt and upset, she suppressed her anger at the sight of Samuel's expression. With speculations in mind, she walked to the bedside and handed Samuel a cup of water.

"Drink some water. You must have a sore throat after drinking so much wine."

Samuel took the cup and drank it all. After that, some memories were brought back.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

"Something's wrong. Where's Olivia?"

Samuel suddenly sat up; only then did he realize that he was half-naked.

"What happened?"

His brows were tightly knitted together.

Nicole knew the real truth then. If he had slept with Olivia, he wouldn't be so lost, let alone forget everything. Blair said that Samuel had been drugged, so he could do nothing. It seemed to be true then.

"It's no big deal. Put on your clothes."

Nicole handed his clothes to Samuel. She then frowned slightly at the alcoholic smell from the clothes.

"Why did you drink so much?"

Samuel took his clothes and smelled the alcohol too.

"What's going on?"

"Cannot you tell that? You got drunk!"

Nicole was a little puzzled, but she could tell that Samuel really didn't know what had happened, unless he was playing the fool. However, Nicole knew that Samuel would admit if he had drunk wine.

Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel realized that something was wrong.

"Did you see Olivia? Something happened to her family."

Samuel changed the topic suddenly, but Nicole kept up with him quickly.

"Is it a big deal?"

"Yes, it is. There's even not much I can do. Her family must have offended some big shots. Her parents were detained at the customs, and then kidnapped before my men could get them. Her family business has been frozen. I haven't figured out what exactly happened yet, but it's said that those who have connections with the Kent family are all in trouble. Soon after I knew where Olivia was, I came to see her. I don't know why I fainted. I remember that I only drank a cup of tea."

Samuel knew that something was wrong, but it was dropped out of his head. Noticing Nicole's gloomy face, he guessed it must have something to do with him. However, he could remember nothing. It was completely gone off his mind.

When Nicole heard that something had happened to the Kent family, she realized that what happened to Samuel might be Olivia's tricks. Probably Samuel was innocent.

"Did you get the news from the call you got at grandpa's house?"

"That's right. I was afraid that you might be worried about Olivia. So I decided to check it out myself and then tell you about it. But ... what happened?"

"It's all right. I guess Olivia didn't want us to get involved. She drugged you, causing you to stay asleep for some time."

Nicole said calmly.

With her anger and grievances gone, she didn't feel upset anymore, and started to worry about Olivia.

What kind of big shots were so powerful that even Samuel couldn't stop them?

Samuel frowned and put on his clothes with the alcoholic smell in disgust. Then, he said in a low voice, "I must talk to Jacob about this."

"Should we let Jacob know about it?"

"Olivia must have talked to him. If there is a big trouble, she would try her best to prevent us and Jacob from being caught in the crossfire. I'm afraid that Jacob would be too impulsive."

Samuel sniffed the clothes again in disgust and said, "I'd better go take a shower first. Have someone send new clothes over."

"OK."

Nicole called Steve and asked him to buy Samuel new clothes. And Samuel went to the bathroom for a shower.

Hearing the noise of running water in the bathroom, Nicole frowned deeply.

Was Olivia planning to cut her off?

They were so close, but Olivia used Samuel to ruin their friendship. Olivia knew that Nicole was a neat freak, both mentally and physically. So it was her last desperate throw of the dice. Olivia decided to break up with Nicole and completely cut Nicole's relation with her family. Wasn't that true?

Nicole still remembered how much Olivia had done for her. After returning to the Kent family, Olivia even traveled far to the border with her younger brother for Nicole and spent much time on her issues. They even hadn't got a chance to have a talk yet after she returned from the border. Did she make up her mind without meeting Nicole due to what happened to her family?

Nicole felt very upset.

That was true.

She really did.

Nicole was very likely to break up with anyone who slept with Samuel immediately without hesitation. That must be the reason why Olivia did so.

Nicole clutched the sheets tightly with her hands.
