Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1103

"When did you wake up?"

Samuel took a pillow and placed it behind Nicole.

Nicole yawned and said, "I woke up when you came in. I was going to play with you, but Lucas overheard the conversation between you and Blair when he came. Darling, don't you think it would be bad if Lucas didn't receive psychological counseling?"

"Yes, it will affect him for the rest of his life. I've thought about the consequences of his first shooting, but I didn't expect it to be so early. What is done is done. I think we should face it. Blair will cure him. Don't worry."

Samuel was afraid that Nicole would feel sad, so he hastened to say these words.

Nicole also knew that was pretty much true, but She was worried as a mother.

"Lucas would be better if Maddie was here."

Samuel nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Maddie is also studying medicine under Gabrielle now. I wonder how the study is going. This child is miserable. Her sister's whereabouts are still unknown, and Booth even asked me to help find Karina."

Nicole signed when she thought of this.

They were the two closest people in the world, but for some reason, they couldn't meet each other in different places. Luckily, the Hawks took care of Maddie, and he gradually became extrovert.

When Samuel heard that it was Booth who made the request, he casually said, "I'll ask Ernesto to locate Karina. She is so unique that can survive in the club. She probably ran away early when Elvis attacked the Kent's."

"She won't."

Nicole instantly frowned.

She didn't want to believe that Karina was such a person.

The Kents took her in. Booth was very kind to her. When the Kents was in danger, it was impossible that she would run away alone. She wouldn't accept it at all.

Samuel knew why Nicole rejected. He did not argue, but said indifferently, "We'll see."

"All right."

Nicole was in a low mood because of this.

The last thing that Samuel wanted to see was that his wife was in a bad mood, so she hurriedly said, "Are you fine?"

"Yeah. By the way, how about your trip to the military compound? What happened?"

Nicole didn't say anything about Claire calling her.

Samuel said indifferently, "It's fine. I might have to go there a few times in the next few days to go through the formalities of retirement and employment."

"Are you sure you will be retired?"

Nicole was a little surprised, but she could guess what Samuel's decision was for.

"Yes, I will live the rest of my life for you."

Nicole's nose twitched when she heard that.

"It will be tough for Emory to let you go. I heard that the country provided much personnel, material and financial support to foster a rookie. Am I too selfish if you are retired for me? I'm the one who should be blamed."

"Nonsense."

Samuel directly hugged Nicole in his arms and whispered, "It's not your fault. I admit that the military was where I wanted to stay the most before I met you. There were no tricks or plots there. But ever since I got to know you, I feel that I can no longer fight for my country without distractions. Do you know what a taboo is for a general? Getting attached to his lover. Now that I have concerns for you, I can't be considered a real general. Rather than leading the soldiers into the battlefield and causing them to lose their lives for no reason, why don't I return to my family now and give this position to someone with the ability? This is what a veteran should do."

Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole's heart immediately felt much more comfortable.

Her husband was indeed eloquent.

"Emory won't blame me, right?"

"Yes, and he will understand. After all, he is also affectionate."

Samuel knew it was hard for Emory, but he thought Emory would make sense of it.

When Nicole heard Samuel's words, she no longer had any other worries.

They made out for a while, and Wendy called them down to eat.

Zac also came out. Seeing that Samuel came back, Zac greeted him, and Samuel nodded.

Because of Petty, Zac was somewhat depressed.

Samuel couldn't bear to see him like this and whispered, "The southern development project has some issues. You go there this afternoon to see what happened. I'll leave this matter to you. Ernesto has other business to attend to recently. Keep an eye on the project."

Zac was surprised.

That was a plum job. Many people were staring at this project, but they were all suppressed by Samuel. Now that he had given this case to him, Zac felt that it was too good to be true.

But when he thought about it, he understood Samuel's intentions.

Zac was touched by that.

"Brother, I don't have enough experience. It doesn't seem good for me to rashly accept the company's case. I'm fine. Don't worry."

Samuel was very pleased with Zac's refusal. He smiled and said, "Just do it. At worst, I will clean up your mess later. But Zac, sooner or later, you will run a subsidiary by yourself. This is what I expect of you. You're my brother-in-law, so we're family. You can't always stay at home and be a bodyguard, right? Learn more about the business. When your child is born, you have to earn some money for it, don't you? "

Zac was instantly moved by these words.

Samuel has a long-term plan for him. He was glad to have such a brother.

"Alright, I will study hard."

Zac nodded.

Petty and Lillian were not here, but no one asked.

Lucas and Joseph knew the reason, but what Nicole was curious about was that Zoe actually felt that it was normal and did not ask.

Somehow, Nicole thought that her daughter was not sensitive, so she probably didn't consider this. She didn't dare to bring up this topic because she was afraid that her daughter would ask too much about it.

But Samuel looked at Zoe thoughtfully.
