Glamorous After Divorce: The CEO's Ex-Wife Is A Famous Designer

Springfield Hospital.

Nicole Bush was surprised when she saw the result of the pregnancy test. She had finally gotten pregnant! And it was Samuel Green's child! After three years of marriage, she was pregnant with his child, and it was truly difficult for her.

She walked out happily with the result and was eager to tell Samuel the good news. Yet, a familiar shadow loomed before her as she came around the corner.

It was Riley George, Samuel's first love. And she came back! Nicole quickly followed her, yet she noticed Samuel, who was supposed to be at the office, was actually staying by her side, and he was holding her carefully. Riley's tummy was so big that it seems she had been pregnant for five months.

Yes, Samuel did not love her from the beginning of their marriage, but it was now three years, and during these years, she had done her part as a good wife.

Samuel changed, and Nicole thought she had finally won his heart, seeing as she dedicated all her time to being a good wife and let all her aspirations die as time passed.

Because Samuel became a changed person, she thought she had finally won his heart, but now what was happening?

She had been wrong all this time. What did Riley George have? Did she also not have one? Is it for beauty or behavior??

Yet, no matter how she tried, Nicole could not win Samuel's iced stone heart.

"Samuel, I'm alright. You don't have to worry. The baby's okay."

"I still need to let you have a checkup for my peace of mind. After all, the baby in your womb is the eldest grandson of our family, and we would not tolerate any mishap."

Riley let out a big smile while Samuel treated her with care. That scene deeply hurt Nicole.

"What are you doing?" Nicole grasped the pregnancy test result in her hand tightly, and her fingernails pierced into her palm through the paper. Yet the pain was way incomparable to the pain her heart felt. She had some congenital problems with her womb.

To give birth to a child for Samuel, she had taken various medications these past three years and visited multiple hospitals. She even nearly lost her life a few times. Yet she had never imagined that she would witness Riley being pregnant with Samuel's child on the same day she was confirmed to be pregnant.

"Why are you here?" Samuel wrinkled his eyebrows as he saw Nicole. The gentleness in his eyes vanished, and his eyes turned cold and numb.

Even the temperature of the surroundings seemed to drop. Seeing the contrast between his attitude then and now, Nicole could not bear it anymore, and she came forward to question him, "Why am I here? I'm your wife. You brought her for pregnancy checkup, you dare ask me why am I here?"

Nicole's questions attracted the attention of the bystanders.

Riley suddenly burst into tears, acting guiltily "Sam, I'm sorry l've dragged you into this mess.

If I've not told you about the child's existence, or I'm determined enough to abort the child, maybe you'll not be misunderstood by Nicole. I'm sorry, it's all my fault." The moment she finished her words, she turned around and ran away.

"Jacob, follow her and look out for her tummy. If anything happens to the baby, I'll make you accountable."

There was a slight panic in Samuel's voice, and his assistant, Jacob Brown, quickly chased after her.

Nicole had difficulty breathing as Samuel had never given her such care.

"Samuel Green, you bastard!" Nicole raised her hands, wanting to slap him, but was stopped by him. She frowned because of the pain when Samuel slightly exerted force on his grasp on her wrist.

"Nicole Bush, when you used a trick to get married to me three years ago, you should have known that it would be impossible for me to give you the love you want from this marriage. I warned you. The baby in Riley's womb is precious and would also be the flesh and blood of the Green family. Don't blame me for disregarding our husband-and-wife relationship if you dare do anything obnoxious to her." As he finished, Samuel tossed down her hand.

Nicole lost her balance and nearly fell. She quickly supported herself on the wall beside her, and the paper escaped her grip. It flew and dropped before Samuel.

"You're pregnant?"

A startled look flashed across his face, yet Nicole started to smile, tears flowing down her eyes. "Could you possibly care about it? I explained to you three years ago, but you refused to listen. No matter how much I cared about you, you always ignored me. Now your first love wants to give birth to your child. Samuel Green, I love you, but I have my self-esteem and pride! I'll get rid of this child, and I think it's time to call it quits between us."

Her heart was torn out, but she was steadfast enough to turn around and leave. Samuel pulled a long face and strode forward, carried her up, and walked straight towards the hospital's exit with quick steps.

"Nicole Bush, who do you think you are? It's you who forced me to marry you, and it's also you who insists on aborting the child now. Do you think I won't get angry and could let you fool me as you want? Let me tell you, I decide the child's fate!"

"Let go of me! Samuel! This is my child in the first place, and it's none of your business!" Nicole struggled in rage, yet she could not overcome Samuel's suppression.

"Your child? Without me, do you think you could get pregnant? Nicole Bush, you'd better not irritate me at this point!" Samuel narrowed his eyes and was surrounded by an oppressive aura at once.

Just then, his phone rang. He put Nicole down to pick up the call but restricted her movement with one arm. His action was full of domineering intentions, and Nicole could not help but feel sad. Sometimes, she would have a delusion that Samuel cared for her more or less, just like what happened then.

"What did you say? Does Riley want to kill herself?

Keep an eye on her; I'll be right there!" Samuel suddenly panicked, and the warmth Nicole had just felt gradually drained away.

"Go back first, Nicole. I'll talk to you about this afterward." Samuel hung up the call and wrinkled his eyebrows. He was obviously worried and anxious, yet he never had those emotions for her, his wife.

Nicole pushed him away coldly. But her heart was bleeding. "Go mind your business; after all, she's more important to you."

Samuel wanted to say something more but did not do so in the end; he stopped a taxi, watched her enter it, and left in a hurry. Nicole inevitably let out a wry smile. To be with a man whose heart belongs to somebody else, what was the point of keeping this kind of marriage any longer?

After reaching home, the housemaids greeted her, but she did not notice them. Nicole looked at the bedroom with a black and white color tone, which she didn't like, and suddenly felt that her existence resembled a clown, and her marriage was no less than a farce that was ending now.

Nicole waited for Samuel for the whole night. Yet he did not call her even once, and his apathy stabbed right into her heart like needles.

"I'm sorry, honey. Mommy won't be able to give you a complete home. But don't worry; Mommy will give you tons of love." Tears streamed down her face, and she signed the divorce agreement she had printed out. Every stroke seemed to scratch her heart and make her bleed.

After she finished signing, she pulled off the wedding ring Samuel gave her and put it on top of the agreement. She used to treat it like a treasure, and after three years, the ring had left a trace on her finger. As she took it off, the trace was still there, just like the trace of her love for him that could not be erased.

Nicole felt that she was behaving like a loser.

Afraid she would change her mind, she took her luggage and left the house.

"Missus, Mr. Green is staying with Miss George because Miss George has poor health. Mr. Green ordered us to send you abroad, and we must depart now."

The moment Nicole stepped out of the house, she saw Samuel's bodyguard blocking her way, and his words made her anger rise.

"Why should I go abroad? I refuse!"

"Sorry, Missus, Mr. Green says it's not up to you to decide!" As he finished, he moved forward and landed a chop on her neck. He dragged her straight into the car after she fainted. She was brought to a deserted warehouse, and her clothes were removed.

A man lay beside her and caressed her body while someone snapped photos of them with every embarrassing pose.

"Miss George, it's all done."

The person made a phone call to Riley right after he finished taking the photos.

Riley sneered.

"Good. Upload the photos to the net afterward; I doubt Samuel would want a woman who's cuckolded him to continue being his wife. Do not leave any trace after getting out."

After hanging up the call, the man poured gasoline around the warehouse and lit it. The burning flame immediately grew, and the surrounding temperature became hot and suffocating.

When Nicole regained consciousness, the fire was already everywhere around her. The thick smoke choked her, and she was unable to open her mouth.

The licking flame approached her mercilessly.

"Help! Somebody help me!"

Without caring that she was naked, she whirled a stick placed at the side and hit the door with it, yet she heard the bodyguard's voice from the outside. "I'm sorry, Missus. It's all Mr. Green's order. Do go to the afterworld in peace. Mr. Green will pick a nice grave for you."

Nicole froze in deep shock. Samuel Green wanted her to die? Why? Was it just because she had gotten pregnant simultaneously with Riley?

Was it just because he wanted to make Riley his official wife so their child could be legitimately born?

'You are cruel, Samuel Green! Did you want to get rid of your child?'

Nicole howled in grief and despair. "Samuel Green, I hate you! I've been blind enough to fall in love with such a cold-blooded man like you. If I have a next life, I let you experience the feeling of being killed by your own loved one!"

The raging fire engulfed her words. She had difficulty breathing, and her eyelids felt heavy. She could no longer endure it anymore and collapsed onto the ground, letting the fire burn her skin and engulf her soul.

*******

Five years later.

Samuel's assistant, Jacob, handed Samuel a document. "Mr. Green, this is the designer's information sent by the H'J Group from the USA. It was mentioned that the designer would arrive in Seapolis City today. Shall we send someone to fetch her? I heard that the designer is very famous overseas and the sports cars she designs are hard to get even with money. If not for our collaboration with the H J Group this time, they won't let the designer come here as an instructor."

"Catherine?" Samuel narrowed his eyes.

"Yes, it's Catherine, the designer." Jacob nodded.

Designer Catherine was a sports car designer who became famous only recently. It was said that the first sports car style she designed-the Wings of Love-had won the first prize in an international design competition a year ago.

Although the sports car had not been released into the market yet, many people of wealth and fame had begun competing for it. It was also said that Catherine only manufactured two of the sports cars, and the price was beyond exorbitant. Yet there were still tons of people pleading to buy the car with cash in their hands.

Now that Catherine has come to the Seapolis City due to their collaboration with the H' J Group Samuel also loved sports cars; Jacob reminded him of the benefit of keeping Catherine in the Eternal Group euphemistically.

Samuel narrowed his eyes once again. He took over the document and glimpsed at Catherine's information but was startled when he saw Catherine's real name.

Nicole Bush!

Catherine's real name was Nicole Bush. Samuel's eyes flashed a touch of light.

"Do we have Catherine's picture?"

"No, the H J Group protects Catherine's privacy well. I've used every method but still failed to get her picture. I heard that she's a wonderful and attractive woman."

It was inconceivable to Jacob that a sports car designer who had caused a sensation throughout the world was a woman. And it turned out she was also a beauty! That was slightly illogical. Why would a woman be interested in a sports car?

Yet Samuel did not ponder Jacob's question. He stared at the name on the document for a long time with his eyes narrowed. Nobody could tell what he was feeling. He knocked the surface of the table subconsciously with his fingers in a rhythmic way, making the atmosphere in the office slightly serious.

"Mr. Green..."

"Arrange the transportation for me. I want to welcome her myself." Samuel finally spoke, and his eyes gleamed with thoughts.

Nicole Bush!

That was precisely what was written on top; could it be a coincidence? Nicole's body was nowhere to be found from the fire five years ago.

The police said the body could already be burnt to ashes since the fire was too intense, but Samuel never believed Nicole was dead. Now that the designer was also named Nicole Bush, he could not wait to meet her.

Jacob was dumbfounded. After all, only a small number of people had the honor of being welcomed by Samuel himself these five years. Yet he quickly reacted and left to arrange the welcome.

Nicole's plane had just landed when the car reached the airport. Nicole walked past the security checkpoint and pulled her luggage.

She had long, brown, wavy hair and a perfect body. Her dazzling features attracted lots of attention at once, whereas the little boy beside her was wearing white casual clothes.

He had tender skin and long eyelashes that made people want to pinch his cheek when he blinked.

His cap was worn back to front, and he ate a lollipop. He followed beside Nicole with moderate speed, looking lethargic, but his beautiful long eyes made him look unapproachable.

"Lucas, this is the Seapolis City, not the States.

Stop looking proud and follow me closely." Nicole felt helpless against her son's look, but her heart ached simultaneously, too.

Lucas looked more and more like Samuel from his behavior and actions, and she could not help but be amazed at the power of the gene sometimes.Yet she still hoped Lucas would be more like her.

"Mommy, what did I do?" Lucas felt innocent and shrugged, looking mischievous.

Nicole chuckled and shook her head. She extended her finger and poked his forehead "Don't you act cute in front of me with that face? You're my son, and I know you well. Be a good boy this time in Seapolis City, okay? And don't be naughty, you hear me?"

"Alright, alright. You come back to work while I come back to see the place where you grew up. I won't do anything. I'm your son, Mommy; why are you looking at me like an enemy?" Lucas pouted to express his dissatisfaction.

Nicole rubbed his hair with affection and said, "I know you have a lot of quirky ideas in mind; that's why I have to remind you. Let's go. After getting out of the airport, I'll call Olivia so we can stay a few days at her house."

"Alright." Lucas smiled like an angel and held Nicole's hand as he headed to the exit.

All of a sudden, Lucas saw a familiar figure. That person looked very similar to him, and he could even sense his aloofness from afar. So that person was Samuel Green? His daddy that others had mentioned to him before? Lucas secretly looked up and glimpsed at Nicole.

Seeing her checking the phone for the phone number, he suddenly covered his stomach and yelled, "Oh, mommy, my stomach hurts! I have to go to the toilet!"

Having heard her son's cry, Nicole looked up from her phone and saw him covering his stomach with a flushed face. His calves were rubbing each other, and he seemed unable to take it anymore.

"Mommy will go with you." As she said, Nicole reached out, wanting to carry him, but Lucas immediately escaped and said, "It's okay. I really can't hold it anymore. Do wait for me outside; I'll be right back."

Lucas then sprinted away at high speed.

Nicole shook her head as she watched him run away. She then started to dial the phone number. "Hi Olivia, it's Nicole. I'm back."

Olivia Kent was her best friend back then, and they did not lose contact during these five years. Olivia was now a kindergarten teacher, and she was exceptionally happy when she was told about Nicole's return.

"When have you arrived? I'll take a leave to fetch you. Are you at the airport now?" She was thrilled.

"It's okay. Lucas is with me. I'll call a cab to go to your house afterward." Nicole walked as she spoke.

Without noticing someone before her, she bumped straight into the person. "Oops, sorry. I didn't see you."

She quickly looked up to apologize but was instantly startled when she lifted her head. It was him!

Samuel Green! What a coincidence!

Samuel shuddered when he saw Catherine from afar. Her figure and her walking style were just like Nicole Bush's! He could not help but walk towards her and deliberately approach her.

Jacob was stupefied as he had not seen him taking the initiative to approach any woman before. Especially after his wife's accident five years ago, he had become more like an iceberg that forced people back whenever they saw him.

It was the first time he had seen such an action.

He inevitably glanced at Nicole and was instantly amazed by her. Her features were perfect as if an artist had carved her out in the right place and proportion.

Samuel was astonished, too, but he immediately regained his mind and wrinkled his eyebrows. He backed up subconsciously and said coldly, "Watch where you're going."

Nicole secretly sneered. Her looks were already wholly different from before. She still remembered the excruciating pain when the fire burnt her skin, and she also remembered the agony she had endured for nine months to keep the child in her womb. She then underwent plastic surgery after giving birth to the child.

She would always wake up from nightmares every midnight and cry until the tears drenched her pillow. Now that the culprit was right in front of her, she could not help but clench her fists and was so eager to tear his face and scoop his heart out to see what it was. She even wanted to ask him whether he even had a heart.

She was holding the lollipop that Lucas had not yet finished, and the moment she came in contact with Samuel, the lollipop touched his suit. She then smiled. "I'm sorry. I really didn't see you just now. Your suit has gone dirty. Shall I buy you a new one? Could you give me your number? I'll ask someone to give it to you after I buy a new one for you ." Her voice was coarse and deep.

Samuel's face was dismayed for a split second.

It's not her! Not only did she have different looks, but her voice, too. He still remembered that Nicole's voice was as listenable as an oriole, yet although the woman before him was pretty, her voice was deep and coarse. Maybe her voice was attractive to others, yet it did not spark his interest at all.

His expression went cold once more. "There's no need for the trouble; it's just a suit."

He immediately took off his blazer and tossed it into a garbage bin near Nicole, like throwing egregious garbage.

The corner of Nicole's lips was slightly curved.

Maybe to Samuel's eyes, she appeared to be a woman who had had her eyes on him and therefore wanted to hit on him and get his contact details. She let out a grim smile as she watched his back. She wondered what expression he would have when he knew she was the designer he was going to welcome.

Samuel felt inexplicably angry and did not know what he was angry about. That woman was not Nicole, but why did he think she was familiar?

No! It's not her!

If Nicole knew he had taken the initiative to approach her, she would be on cloud nine. He knew Nicole's feelings towards him. but there was not a single fluctuation in emotion from the woman's eyes just now. Wait. That woman's eyes looked so much like Nicole's!

Samuel jolted to a halt, and Jacob accidentally bumped into him from behind. "I'm sorry, Mr.

Green."

Jacob touched his nose due to pain and backed up. He then realized Samuel's eyes were following Nicole. Nicole went straight to the washroom after a short contact with Samuel squinted once again, and the way she walked made him squint again.

"Mr. Green, are you interested in that woman?"

Samuel shot Jacob a glare, and Jacob quickly shut his mouth.

"I'll go to the washroom for a while."

Samuel did not know what had happened to him.

He was frustrated. He turned around and headed to the washroom quickly. Jacob had not seen him behaving in such a way. Not daring to follow him, he waited outside.

Upon entering the washroom, Samuel twisted the water tap open and splashed his face with the water, trying to calm himself down. Suddenly, he sensed someone tugging his shirt.

He frowned and looked around. A little boy aged around four or five was looking up at him, his hand pulling the lower corner of his shirt, and he seemed to have something to speak.

"Let go!"

Samuel pulled a long face, and his aura allowed him to chase normal people a few miles away.

Yet the little boy did not seem affected and remained there. His eyes looked familiar to Samuel. It was as if he had seen them before.

"Mister, could you give me some help?" Lucas stared straight at Samuel. His innocent and eager look suddenly melted his heart.

"Where are your parents?"

"My mom can't enter the men's toilet!" Lucas pouted, and his face showed a slight embarrassment.

Looking at the little fellow before him, Samuel sighed and asked, "What do you want me to help you with?"

"The zip of my pants got stuck, and it's urgent right now. Mister, could you help me pull the zip open?" Lucas's legs rubbed each other as he spoke, as if he could not endure it anymore.

Samuel let out a soft sigh and squatted down.

The kid had delicate features and was considered nice-looking. Based on his usual behavior, he would not waste his time doing such a thing. Yet, at this moment, he felt he was no longer himself.

"How old are you? Why does your mom let you wear this kind of pants?" He frowned when he saw the zip of his pants was stuck.

Lucas said with a low voice, "I'm already a big boy! I'm four years old!"

"So a big boy like you can't solve the zip problem yourself?" Samuel did not converse that much with anyone during normal days, yet he did not know what went wrong with him. He felt that the kid before him made him comfortable, and he was willing to talk to him more.

Lucas's expression changed quickly, so quickly that Samuel did not notice.

"It's all done."

The moment Samuel fixed the zip, Lucas yelled, "Oh! Mister, I can't hold it anymore!"

"What?" As Samuel just finished asking, something warm with an odd odor was splashed on his face.

"I didn't mean it! Sorry!" Lucas quickly apologized. He darted like a loach into one of the cubicles and closed the door. Samuel then realized what was splashed on his face.

Damn! He was the president of the Green Group, but now he got peed by a boy on the face? His anger surged. "Come out, you little bastard!" He had not gone that mad for many years.

Lucas hid inside the cubicle and smiled in victory.

Yet he sounded like he was going to cry, "I'm sorry, Mister. I really can't hold it any longer. Wait a minute. Please wait here, and I'll ask my mom to compensate you. Or you may pee back at me in return. Is that okay?"

His words nearly suffocated Samuel. Peeing at a child as the president of a company? How ridiculous was that? Samuel felt he could not vent his anger, and the urine on his face made him more uncomfortable.

He quickly washed his face with clean water, but the discomfort disappeared. He had repeatedly rubbed his face with the hand wash three to four times but still doubted the odor had disappeared entirely.

Paying attention to the commotion outside, a smile broke upon Lucas's lips. 'That's what happened to you when you bullied Mommy and abandoned us! I'll teach you a small lesson today as I have been interested all these years. We'll slowly deal with you regarding the debts you owe us in the future'

An excited, victorious look flashed across his face, but he still mourned, "Mister, please don't beat me. Just pretend your son has peed you. I didn't do that intentionally; please don't tell my mom. She'll beat me to death!"

He then pretended to sob after finishing. Samuel stopped whatever he was doing.

His son? If Nicole had not died back then, would their son be of his age now? He stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had not looked that pathetic before. His hair was drenched, and his hair was clinging to his forehead. His eyes, with dark circles, were filled with rage.

Eyes? He then realized the kid just now had the same eyes as his. It was no wonder he would feel familiar towards the boy; it was actually because of his eyes. Not many people in the city had the same eyes as him, and it could be because of this he had extra patience towards the kid. He sighed coldly, "Don't tell anyone about what happened today, including your mom, you hear me? And don't say you know me when we meet again in the future."

"Okay, I get it! I promise I won't say it!" Lucas quickly spoke. He was so obedient that Samuel could not criticize him any longer. He was destined to swallow his grievance today.

He glanced at the cubicle gloomily again and left the washroom in annoyance.

"What happened to you, Mr. Green?" The exclamation of the assistant was heard from the outside, yet Samuel left with strides.

Lucas only left the cubicle when no sound was heard outside. Watching from the direction

Samuel left, the corner of his lips curved. He took a mini spy camera out from below the basin and put it inside his pocket. He only left the washroom after washing his hands.

Nicole had long gotten out of the washroom.

Without seeing Lucas anywhere, she began to feel slightly worried. As she was going to check out on him, she saw Samuel getting out of the washroom in exasperation.

His hair was wet as if he had washed it before.

Samuel was a man who paid great attention to his image when in public, and Nicole knew that very well. Seeing him behaving like a drowned mouse, she was slightly startled, but she hid subconsciously at the side to avoid getting his attention.

She had returned and would slowly make him pay for what he had owed them five years ago.

She did not need to rush.

Lucas came out of the washroom angrily after Samuel had left the scene.

"Lucas." Nicole grabbed his arm and examined him from head to toe. She was only relieved when she noticed he was not injured.

Lucas knew what she was worried about but pretended he did not know anything and asked, "What's wrong, Mommy? I was only going to the washroom. Why are you so nervous? Oh yes, the Mr. I met just now was so handsome. What do you think, Mommy?"
