Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 372

Nicole had a good sleep. Smelling the scent of Samuel, she felt secured with him around her.

She woke up to see Audrey smiling at them, and she got embarrassed.

"Mom, why didn't you call me when you woke up?"

Nicole hastily broke away from Samuel.

He shook his sore arm and said, "You're sleeping like a log, and Mom can't bring herself to wake you up. Don't worry, Wendy brought us breakfast, and Mom has eaten. I've saved some for you. Go inside and eat."

Nicole got more embarrassed.

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"What are you afraid of? We're family. Are you afraid that we will laugh at you? Besides, you are tired these days, and it doesn't matter that you sleep a little longer. Moreover, I'm here with you."

His words consoled her.

Audrey felt delighted when she heard Samuel call her Mom.

"You both go have breakfast. I'm fine."

"Mom, you can watch TV."

Nicole turned on the TV and pulled Samuel into the inner room.

Samuel smiled at her red cheeks. "You blush easily these days. What shall we do?"

"None of your business."

Nicole gave him a sweet look. She opened the food container and saw it brim with her favorite dishes. She paused.

"Didn't you say that Mom had eaten? Why doesn't it look that way?"

"Mom has eaten. The doctor says that she can't have greasy food yet. My mother asked Wendy to make these dishes for you."

Nicole felt warm.

"How could I bother Mom so much?"

"She cares about you, saying that you can only take good care of the patient when you eat and rest well. Don't think too much. She asks Wendy to cook the dishes for you. Go ahead and enjoy."

Samuel consoled her as he didn't want to see her tearful eyes.

"Let's eat together."

Nicole handed the chopsticks to him.

Samuel didn't eat much, and he ate slowly. He was basically watching her eat.

After Nicole was through, she felt full.

"Wendy is a good cook."

"Don't I cook well?"

Samuel was jealous.

Nicole smiled and said, "How can you praise yourself?"

"What can I do? I have to praise myself since you don't. Otherwise, I feel upset."

"Childish."

After Nicole tidied up the table, she was about to wash the dishes, but Samuel stopped her.

"Let me do it. There isn't much hot water here, and you'd better not touch cold water for the sake of your health."

As he spoke, he took away the dishes.

Nicole was touched.

"It's been a month, hasn't it? Besides, a man shouldn't spend time in the kitchen. These dishes are very greasy. Let me do it."

"Stop arguing. What's wrong if a man spends time in the kitchen? I'm willing to cook and wash for my beloved woman. Besides, you say they are very greasy, so don't touch them. My wife's hands have to be beautiful so I can admire and play."

As he spoke, Samuel left with the dishes.

Nicole smiled and looked at her hands, which were growing plump.

How could he admire and play such a pair of plump hands?

She shook her head and walked out of the inner room.

Audrey saw her and smiled. "Samuel treats you very well."

"Yeah, it's a blessing to have him."

Nicole did not conceal her love for Samuel at all.

Audrey chuckled. "Treat him well, okay?"

"Okay. How do you feel now?"

"Much better."

Audrey was in high spirit with Nicole around her.

Nicole whispered, "I'm going back tonight. Perhaps Nan Xian will accompany me. Do you think you can take care of yourself? If not, I'll hire you a care giver. I'll come tomorrow morning."

Audrey paused. Recalling that Nicole had children waiting for her at home, she said, "I'm fine. I'm just a little weak, and it's a good idea to hire a care giver. You and Samuel go home and have a good rest. There's no need to rush back. I'm fine."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Silly child, what nonsense."

Audrey thought that Nicole was much more considerate than Viola.

They talked for a while, and Samuel came back.

His hands were wet, and Nicole handed him a towel.

"Forget it. Let me help you dry up."

She got to her feet, drying up his hands as if he was a child. Samuel smiled.

Audrey felt relieved when she noticed the deep affection between them.

"Come on. Didn't you say you are going home? Go now. Don't show off your affection here. I'm getting jealous for I'm single."
