Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1283

"Alright, don't be too sad. The higher-ups have given Jarrod a chance. It's up to him to decide. Chill out. After we finish this task, you can also retire if you want to, and you'll still get paid."

Samuel knew what it meant to retire with pay.

Normally, people would retire after the age of sixty, and the Special Forces would retire at the age of thirty-five. However, with his military rank, even if he retired, he could still keep it, and even get paid. But he would not participate in military operations.

This was the life that Samuel wanted.

He nodded, smoked a cigarette with Emory, and then whispered, "I need to go check on Nicole. By the way, what's going on with the formation outside? Is it really the ancient Eight Trigrams Formation?"

"Speaking of which, the girl beside you is not an ordinary person. She is able to crack this formation. That's something."

Emory found Amelia impressive.

When Samuel heard this, he knew that Amelia was right, and he couldn't help but have some doubts about her identity.

"Amelia works for Aaron."

Hearing what Samuel said, Emory was surprised.

"Amelia? Is her surname Conley?"

"I don't know. I just know that her name is Amelia. She is Jarrod's 18-year-old present from Aaron, but Jarrod seems to care about her very much."

Samuel told Emory what he knew.

Emory whispered, "This woman should be the descendant of the formation. This ore vein has been here for many years. The Harper Town has been located here for several hundred years. The entire mountain is covered with the formation. Without it, this ore vein wouldn't have been so well hidden, and perhaps would have been discovered long ago. You don't know how many experts we hired to crack this formation, and how many months we spent drawing and searching for information. But Amelia cracked it at once. She is a talent. You should think of a way to keep her around. "

"I don't know. Amelia is an independent woman and she only listens to Jarrod. If you want Amelia to stay, you have to protect Jarrod."

Hearing that, Emory felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Samuel, you're making things difficult for me."

"I'm telling the truth. Amelia likes Jarrod and she is even carrying Jarrod's child. I know you are in short of talents. But no matter what, you can't force her or overwork her. I promised Jarrod that I would protect Amelia and their child."

This was Samuel's promise to Jarrod.

Emory frowned slightly, but still nodded.

After the conversation, Samuel asked where Nicole was and walked over.

Nicole and Amelia were puzzled. They were served with good meals, but were not allowed to leave the tent.

Amelia kept silent, but this silence seemed a little depressing.

Nicole poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water. It's cold in the mountains at night. Drink some hot water to warm your body."

"Thank you."

Amelia only took the glass to warm her hands, but did not drink water. A trace of worry flashed through her eyes.

"When will Mr. Jarrod meet us?"

Nicole didn't know how to answer.

"Very quickly."

When Nicole saw Samuel come in, she was surprised.

"Samuel?"

"Are you afraid?"

Samuel gently touched her head and said with a smile, "They are not Aaron's person, but Emory's."

"Emory? We accidentally found Emory?"

Nicole was very surprised.

Samuel nodded.

Nicole had been travelling around with him all this time. She must be a little tired.

However, when Amelia heard that it was Emory's team, she frowned slightly and said indifferently, "I want to go back and find Mr. Jarrod."

Samuel looked at Amelia and whispered, "I promised Jarrod that I can't let you go back. He should have his own plan. You might ruin his plan if you go back. Besides, you should better rest more now."
