Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Nicole tried to sound serious but it made her seem even lovelier. Tim felt warm for her words. He cherished their friendship especially after his romantic affection for her had turned into kinship.

"Alright, I swear."

Evelyn was surprised by Tim's doting tone and tender gaze. She immediately stood on tiptoe and grabbed Tim by the collar, trying to make a bluff, "Who are you calling? How dare you do sweet whispers on my watch?"

Nicole was suddenly stunned, and then let out a chuckle.

"Evelyn, it's me."

Recognizing Nicole's voice, Evelyn felt a little embarrassed.

She laughed and said, "Hi, Nicole. Your brother spoke on the phone behind my back in such a sneaky manner that I thought he hooked up with someone else. Fine, I'll leave you alone and go shopping."

Evelyn loosened Tim's collar and wiped away some invisible dust on it. Though she left casually, Tim noticed the loneliness in her eyes.

Evelyn knew him well. She knew how Tim used to feel for Nicole. Tim understood that it was not easy for her to behave this way as his wife and Nicole's sister-in-law.

Any woman would be jealous.

But Evelyn couldn't show her jealousy because Nicole was his cousin.

Tim felt sorry for Evelyn.

He finally understood what Nicole once said,

"Tim, sooner or later, you'll find your Miss Right. At that time, you'll care about her more than anybody else."

Tim found out that he was concerned more about Evelyn than Nicole now.

'Nicole has Samuel by her side, while I'm all that Evelyn has since we just lost our baby.'

With this thought, Tim hurriedly said, "I'll call my men, but I'm not sure what the result will be. Sorry, Nicole, I'm afraid I won't go in person and help you this time. Evelyn's mood has been down recently, so I want to spend more time with her."

Nicole was stunned at first but soon realized the reason.

Tim finally fell for Evelyn.

People always had to choose between separate ways in their lifetime.

Nicole was glad that Tim realized this at last and she didn't feel sad that he chose to move on. They had grown up and would have their own life. Both of them had someone to spend the rest of their lives with. However, their kinship wouldn't diminish. Instead, they would become more mature.

It is more gratifying than upsetting because they would have their own family to attend to. Their beloved were the only ones that would accompany them till the end of their lives.

Nicole said sincerely, "Tim, I understand."

"Please forgive me, Nicole. I put her through a lot since we were married. Now that we have just lost our baby, I'm afraid Evelyn will be sad if I spare too much time in your issues."
