Kirsi and Samuel went back to the point of being ordinary friends.

They did not cross the line, so Kirsi thought that she had a clear conscience and did a good job.

Samuel sighed. His attitude was not as tough anymore.

"Alright, I still have things to do. I'll hang up now."

In the past, if Kirsi said that, Samuel would have agreed and would have felt that she was innocent.

However, after that scene yesterday, Samuel could no longer look at this woman straight.

He felt that Kirsi had many masks, and he had only seen two of them.

The divorce between Samuel and Lumi was final.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were already divorced long ago.

Only the Lindstroms and Makinens knew that Samuel found all kinds of excuses to drag out the divorce and refused to leave. For a while, the situation got ugly. However, fewer people cared about this.

Samuel found an excuse to go on a business trip, saying that he was busy.

When Nicole found out about this matter, she called Lumi.

Nicole asked, "Where did Samuel go on a business trip?"

Lumi let out a cold snort.

"He went to East Asia. Who knows if he's really hiding that far away?"

Nicole raised her eyebrows for a moment. She somehow felt unsettled.

"I heard that their oil business is doing quite well, right?"

Lumi said languidly, "Yeah, I didn't pay much attention to it. But Samuel is just half -*ssing the business. The reason why they didn't go bankrupt is because of the oil. Otherwise, how could he be so generous?"

Samuel's annual allowance was comparable to the average company's income for several years.

It was convincing.

Nicole picked up the cup of warm water in front of her, moved her neck around, and drank the water in one gulp.

She laughed as she went to the lounge inside the office and took a pair of comfortable shoes.

"It's good that he's generous. At least he's not a stingy jerk."

"But why isn't Mr. Sloan back yet? I have a few new projects I want his opinion on!"

Lumi sounded very excited.

Nicole let out a laugh. "He's still busy abroad. We'll have dinner together next time!"

"Sure, it's a deal then. My treat!"

Lumi was overjoyed.

Nicole suddenly thought of something. "By the way, did Samuel say when he'll be back?"

Lumi's voice deepened.

"He'd better not come back for the rest of his life so I can use his money to have fun with young hunks! But I heard his father saying that they have some problems with their oil business. It seemed quite serious. Mr. Lindstrom was going to go in person, but he was hospitalized because of Samuel, so Samuel had no choice but to go by himself."

Nicole paused. She looked calm on the surface, but she felt apprehensive. "Oh, if you know what happened, remember to tell me. I have something important to deal with."

"No problem!"

Lumi promised without hesitation.

Nicole smiled :b$?WNP< said a few words before she hung up the phone with confidence.

The evening was cool and breezy.

It was Aida's birthday, so Grant began to think about birthday gifts several days in advance. He even enlisted Nicole to help.

Although Aida had been busy with her career over the years, she was still very attentive to her family.

Grant also started to reduce his frequency of working overtime.

Aida proposed to invite a few friends to the beach for a barbecue.

Floyd declined the invitation. He helped to babysit Chatty and Levi at home so that his children could relax.

Thus, Nicole invited Julie and lan. Aida also invited a few close friends to go to the beach together.

The waves were splashing on the shore. In the evening, the beach was livelier than during the day.

The shimmering sea reflected a nice golden color, giving off a calmness amongst the lively atmosphere. Aida was wearing a dark green dress.

She looked fresh and feminine as she greeted everyone warmly.

In the distance, a small boat quietly approached the beach.
