Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1140

"No! No matter what happens to you, you are our dear son. No matter what happens, your mother and I will not let you go."

Samuel held his son in his arms again. He felt that his son was so weak. Why did he think that his son could become a genius and exist in the cruel military compound?

He was annoyed, self-blamed, and wanted to help Lucas get through this difficult time.

Lucas still wanted to say something, but he heard Samuel whisper, "Your mother wants you to have a good rest. If you really like being in the army, we will send you to the military to train for two years when you turn eighteen. Lucas, our family runs a big business and needs an heir. Joseph chose to study medicine. You will be the heir of our family."

Samuel knew that this was a bit cruel to Lucas, but he really didn't want to risk losing his son anymore.

Back then, he had also passionately joined the army and risked his life. But now that he had children, he realized that he couldn't bear to see the children get hurt or his wife get sad.

Even if Lucas wanted to join the army, he had to reach his age.

His son couldn't withstand such a harsh environment.

Lucas did not say anything, yes or no.

The two people who weren't very enthusiastic hugged each other tightly for a long time. Nicole couldn’t find Lucas after cooking the porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat. She ran to look for Samuel nervously and saw them hugging each other, which moved her.

"Alright, since you're awake, get up and have some porridge. I've cooked quite a bit."

Nicole pretended to be relaxed as she spoke.

Lucas came out of Samuel's embrace and looked at Nicole with a trace of guilt in his eyes.

It broke Nicole’s heart to see that.

"Come on, son, Mommy will carry you down."

"I'll walk down myself."

Lucas dodged Nicole's arm and even avoided to be close to her.

He was afraid.

He was afraid that he would become someone else, and that he would hurt his mommy in an unknown situation.

Seeing Lucas like this, Nicole felt sad and tears immediately gushed out.

"Mommy, don't cry. I'm not, I..."

Seeing Nicole cry, Lucas immediately panicked.

He hurriedly turned to Samuel for help.

Samuel took a step forward and hugged Lucas in his arms. Then, he stood up and said to Nicole, "Come on, Lucas is hungry. Let's go down and have some porridge."

"Alright."

Nicole wiped away her tears and walked down with Samuel.

Joseph had already woken up and didn't dare to sleep anymore. At present, only Zoe slept soundly.

She stretched, got up and smelled a fragrance, and hurriedly said, "Oh? What did Mommy cook? It smells good."

Nicole smiled, but somewhat reluctantly.

They sat down at the dining table.

Nicole also cooked a few dishes that the children loved.

Zoe's eyes immediately lit up.

"Wow, Mommy is so nice today."

Zoe praised her generously.

However, Lucas chose a seat away from them and sat down.

Seeing that, Nicole felt anxious again.

Before she could say anything, Zoe directly walked over and grabbed Lucas' hand and said, "Lucas, why did you go so far? Come to help me peel the eggs."

Lucas subconsciously wanted to shake off Zoe. But it seemed Zoe cunningly avoided being shaken off. She raised a small cute face, smiled and said, "Don't say no. I know, you're on vacation. You used to peel eggs for me, and now you can't escape since you’re on vacation. Hurry up!"

As she spoke, Zoe pulled Lucas' hand and pulled him to sit down beside her.

"Here, this bowl of porridge is yours. I won't snatch it from you. I want an egg, peel it for me. And that sea shrimp, peel it for me too."

Zoe smiled, but Lucas could not refuse.

Thinking that he hadn’t had a meal with his sister for a long time, he obediently picked up the egg and began to peel.

Seeing this, Nicole and Samuel breathed a sigh of relief.

Joseph also heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that Lucas would refuse Zoe.

Zoe shook her legs and looked at Nicole and Samuel. "Daddy, Mommy, are we going to visit Great Grandpa today?"

"Yes."

Nicole nodded.

Zoe asked again, "Then can Lucas and I go over later?"

"What are you going to do?"

Samuel frowned slightly.

Lucas was now an uncertain time bomb. He was really afraid that something would happen to his daughter, so he asked.

Zoe smiled and said, "I want to go shopping. It's been a long time since I've been with my brother. Let's go shopping together today."

Zoe liked eating different kinds of food. It was rare for her to enjoy shopping. But the others didn't say anything.

Samuel couldn't make up his mind.

At this moment, Lucas spoke indifferently.

"I'm a little tired. I don't want to go. You guys go. I want to rest."

"Come on, Lucas, it's been a long time since you've been with me. Besides, it's already New Year's Eve. There are a lot of bad people outside. Don't you want to protect me?"

Hearing this, Lucas frowned.

"I..."

"Come on. Hurry up and finish your meal. Come with me to buy something for Great Grandpa. It's been a long time since Great Grandpa saw you and Joseph. Are you guys going there empty-handed?"
