Chapter 1367 Selfless

Amused, Nicole said nothing as she looked back at Evan with a smile on her face.

“You’re my dear wife, and the only thing you need to do is to look pretty and be happy. I don’t need you to do anything else.”

“Although it’s nice having you love me and letting other people get jealous, I still want to show that I have my self-worth. When the acupuncture center is completed, I can finally start helping people. Life will be more meaningful by then.”

“You have already saved many lives with your acupuncture abilities, and you never even bragged about this. Just last year, you have saved around forty-six people, and the year before that, you saved thirty-nine people.”

Nicole was surprised. She asked, “How did you know all this?”

“Whenever you’re out, four bodyguards will follow you around in the dark. It’s normal for me to know everything that they know. Nicole, you have saved hundreds of lives without even asking for anything in return. You are doing a huge charity for other people. Just now, you said you feel proud to be loved by me, but I feel like I’m the lucky one to get married to someone as kind and selfless as you, Nicole.”

“You’re exaggerating. I’m not as kind as you think I am. I’m just doing my job as someone in the medical field. Anybody would do the same.”

“I don’t know what other people would do in that circumstances. The only thing I’m absolutely sure about is my wife is an absolutely benevolent doctor. This is also the reason I wanted to invest in building the acupuncture center.”

Nicole was looking at Evan fondly this whole time. She knew he was the only person who had ever understood her clearly.

Building the acupuncture center for her was not something he did the spur of the moment. He did this because he knew her; he knew this would make her happy.

“Thank you so much, Evan,” she happily replied.

“You’re my wife, so you don’t have to thank me. We’re married,” he stated. He then turned toward the jewelry she brought out. “All the things I gave you as presents are my sincere love for you. I won’t let you give them to someone else.”

Nicole held out her dainty hands and caressed his face. His features were changed by the flow of time but still remained dashing. “Don’t worry. I would never do that. These are all your sincere feelings toward me.”

Feeling relieved, Evan grinned as he lifted her hand to plant a light kiss. “Nicole, Joy is already big now. Why don’t we have another child?”

Quickly, Nicole pulled her hands that were resting in Evan’s huge palms away. With a stern look on her face, she solemnly explained, “I am already in my forties, Evan. Do you really want me to get pregnant now? Who knows what complications I might have because of the pregnancy?”

Looking at the stern expression she had on her face, Evan suddenly chuckled. “You don’t have to be so serious about this, Nicole. I was only joking with you. Even if you really want to get pregnant again, I will never allow it.”

“And even if you allow it, I still don’t want to get pregnant,” she muttered as she picked up her sleeping gown, heading to the bathroom.

Before the bathroom door was even closed, Evan quickly rushed inside with no feeling of embarrassment.

“Would you like to bathe together?” he asked.

“No.” Nicole glared at him.

He insisted, “Then I’ll just help you wash up”

Nicole felt absolutely speechless.

Steamy air filled the bathroom as they spent their intimate time together.

Although twenty years had already passed, the love they had for each other was still strong as ever, making her feel grateful for the happy times she had.

The next day, before Juan was even awake, he had already received a call from Sally.

“You still remembered the promise you made yesterday, right? If you don’t remember, then I’ll just invite myself over since I am already prepared.”

In his dazed state, Juan was absolutely petrified when he received the call from Sally. He immediately bolted up from his bed and exclaimed, “Do you even know what time is it now? Are you planning on having breakfast over at my place?”

Without much thought, she quickly replied, “I don’t mind.”

“I do! Listen. You better not come over so early in the morning. I have already told my family that you will come over for lunch. Just be patient and wait for me to pick you up.”

“Alright then. I’ll be waiting for you.”

The phone call finally ended. Juan ruffled his messy hair and let out a long sigh. Dear God. Please don’t let anything bad happen today.
