"Jorge carries a deep blood feud, and I also wish to become independent and break away from the Seal Family, away from this past that is hard to speak of and face."
"Jorge and I, both alone abroad, have endured hardships that are unimaginable to others. In a foreign land, we have been through life and death many times. No one knows how much we have sacrificed to reach our current position. I’m afraid even Ariel Morris doesn’t know half of Jorge’s past."
"When we had nothing, two young boys struggled abroad, and the achievements we have today were earned through immense sweat and tears."
"Now, with our achievements, Jorge can protect his sister well, ensuring she is cared for and not bullied for a lifetime. And as for me... I had a meal with Langdon Seal today, and he said something that made me...." Jose Floyd suddenly turned his head to look at the person sitting beside him, pursing his thin lips, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
In the end, he didn’t say anything, and downed the red wine in his hand.
When his deep gaze fixed on her, Nicole’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, so unexpectedly, beyond control.
Jose Floyd took the wine glass from Nicole’s hand in her daze and placed it on the bedside table next to them, then lay down.
He looked at Nicole, his gaze no longer cold as usual. Perhaps it was the flush on his face from drinking too much wine, but Nicole saw a soft light in his eyes. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Rest, lie down properly, I have things to do tomorrow."
Nicole replied with a hum, lying down beside Jose Floyd, her cheeks and body slightly warm.
As soon as she lay down, a long arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her tightly into an embrace.
Nicole’s body tensed as she was about to push him away, but discovered he had already closed his eyes to rest, with no intention of complicating things for her, so her hand froze, not continuing to push him away.
With a trace of fatigue in his eyebrows, Jose Floyd quickly fell asleep. Before he fell asleep, Nicole heard a low murmur from his thin lips, words that felt almost unreal to her...
Nicole pressed her lips together, repeating the low whisper he uttered before falling asleep.
"Even if we are fated but not destined, I must seize this little fate... Regret for a lifetime is better than forgetting..."

In the morning, Nicole helped Olivia Summer with a body check, relieved to find everything in good condition, her mood lightening considerably.
Nicole was wearing a summer dress, her chestnut curls casually tied at the back of her head, giving her a clean and comfortable appearance.
Nicole bent over in the gazebo by the pool to check Olivia Summer’s body, and once done, turned around to put away the heart rate monitor.
It was at this moment that Olivia Summer glanced up, intending to thank Nicole with a smile, but her eyes inadvertently fell on the tattoo on Nicole’s right shoulder.
"Wind—"
A single word made Olivia Summer’s eyes flicker. Watching Nicole act as if nothing had happened, she softly spoke, "Nicole, I’m really sorry for troubling you. Jose is really something, I told him I was fine, yet he still asked you to take care of me. By the way, Nicole, when is your wedding with your boyfriend, Mr. Cooper? You’ve saved my life and taken care of me; I must give you a big wedding gift."
Nicole packed her things, replying calmly, "The wedding date hasn’t been set yet. Auntie, there’s no need to be so formal; I happened to study medicine, and I’m happy to be able to take care of you."
"Such a beautiful Nicole who also knows medicine, I’m sure many pursued you during your school days." Olivia Summer gently smiled, her eyes on Nicole, "Where did you study?"
"I attended school in a small town in Southriver Town when I was young, it’s my mother’s hometown. Later, I studied medicine in Italy."
