“Evelyn, your face...”
Nicole had never expected that Evelyn would get disfigured.
Nicole gaped and noticed that Evelyn’s belly had become quite big.
However, with a smile, Evelyn said, “It’s alright. My face was injured on the sea by accident. I planned to do the surgery, but I was pregnant back then, so I didn’t take the surgery for the sake of the baby. I’ll do it after giving birth. Anyway, Tim doesn’t mind it.”
Nicole understood why Evelyn had decided to do so. When she was burned, she also had to bear the wounds for more than a year for the sake of her baby.
At the thought of it, Nicole felt so sorry for her.
She walked up and hugged Evelyn tightly and whispered, “I know although you sound so easy, you must have been suppressing the sadness alone. I don’t know why Tim and you didn’t want to tell us about your difficulties back then, I feel sorry for you. Evelyn, I’m so upset.”
Nicole’s eyes turned red.
Seeing her like this, Samuel winked at Tim.
Time patted Evelyn on her shoulder and said, “I’ll chat with Samuel for a moment.”
“Okay.”
Evelyn nodded.
In the side hall, Nicole and Evelyn were chitchatting. Samuel and Tim went to the balcony. Handing Tim a glass of champagne and staring at his ruby face, Samuel said jokingly, “You look truly different after being a father.”
“Of course. The baby comes way too late for us.”
Samuel didn’t have the heart to give him a blow. With concerns, he asked, “I remembered the doctor said you can’t have children in three years. It’s not the time yet, is it?”
“The baby came unexpectedly. Evelyn wanted to keep it no matter what. You know how much she was disappointed about our last kid, so I couldn’t do anything but agree with her. At the worst, if any danger happens, I’ll be with her. I’ll live with her and follow her when she dies,” said Tim indifferently.
However, Samuel could feel how much Tim treasured Evelyn.
He patted Tim’s shoulder and said, “You’ve so grown up.”
“I’m almost a father. How can I continue being a child? My father-in-law has started transferring his business to me. Now I finally understand how capable you are. You have so many properties but you still have time to fall in love with Nicole. You are awesome, dude!”
Samuel always felt that Tim had implications in his words.
“Are you praising me or complaining about me?”
“Of course praising you!”
Tim burst into laughter.
Evelyn was pregnant, which made Tim quite energetic, and everyone also felt touched.
“You must have experienced a lot in the past six months, right?”
“Yes, we have. However, we could make it. Don’t worry about us, Samuel.”
Although Tim still had a cheeky smile on his face, Samuel could tell that he had become mature and steady. He guessed that Ethan should have taught Tim a lot.
Samuel was quite happy to see it.
“By the way, I heard you’ve sent Ernesto here to manage your company.”
“Yeah. Do you have any suggestions?”
Samuel didn’t expect that Tim would suddenly ask about Ernest. He was a bit taken aback.
Tim looked around and said to Samuel, “You’ve completely ignored what happened in the military, haven’t you?”
“Yeah. I’m accompanying my wife and children. I only focus on making money for my wife. What happened?”
Tim couldn’t believe what Samuel said. If it were seven or eight years ago, no one would believe that Samuel was so unambitious.
However, Tim understood what Samuel had done. After a hesitation, he still didn’t speak out about what he wanted to tell Samuel.
“What on earth happened? Tell me.”
Samuel couldn’t such a look. He hit Tim with his elbow.
Tim was a bit depressed. Then, he couldn’t suppress it any longer and said, “Something happened on the battlefield abroad.”
“What did you say?”
Samuel became quite nervous.
The battlefield abroad meant Jacob. It had been over six months, but they didn’t receive any news from him. Suddenly Tim mentioned it, Samuel couldn’t help but become nervous.
Of course, Tim also knew what had happened to Jacob. He whispered, “Jacob led a commando team and entered the overseas battlefield more than half a year ago. They were just like super-soldiers, which immediately reversed our battlefield situation. In the past half a year, there has been a lot of good news. However, not long ago, it was said that R Country also sent out a commando team, fled after harassing us several times, and took a large number of hostages away with them. Jacob’s commandos had to chase them in order to rescue the hostages. They were led into the primeval forest. So far, no news has come out. Many people speculate that they may be in danger this time.”
Samuel’s heart tightened.
“A commando? Did Jacob found a commando?”
There were not many soldiers in a commando, but each of them was one in a million. Samuel wondered why a commando was sent to save the hostages.
What on earth had happened?
