Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 379

Nicole's question irritated Mrs. Don, and she didn't look happy.

She couldn't just whip Nicole ten times, right?

Moreover, the hatred in Nicole's gaze scared her. She also felt she had gone too far, but she was an elder, so she couldn't make herself apologize to Nicole.

Mrs. Don was torn apart but snorted coldly, saying, "You'd better remember what you said today. You have nothing to do with the Dons from now on."

"I will. Thank you for your ten lashes today, so that I can see you clearly."

With that, Nicole helped Samuel out of the Don's.

Even though the old woman asked everyone to keep their mouths shut, someone still told Jason about it.

Jason hurried back, but it was too late. Noticing the blood on the whip, he was so angry that he didn't want to talk to Mrs. Don. He quickly called Nicole and Samuel.

When Nicole saw it was Jason calling, she blocked him without thinking.

She was not mad at him. But she was done with the Dons.

Seeing her like this, Samuel knew she was hurt deeply, so he whispered, "Alright, don't be angry. I'm fine. Lucas was to blame in this. As his father, I have to take the responsibility, right?"

"I'm sorry. I brought this to you. I thought if I returned to the Dons, it might be helpful to you. But now, I can see it is bullshit. You've suffered because of them."

Nicole wanted to give back her Don blood to the Dons, so that she could sever the ties with them.

How could Samuel not know what Nicole was thinking?

He held Nicole's hand and whispered, "Life is short. We only get several decades to live. Don't get angry for them. They are nothing to you. Fortunately, this shall pass. It's good, isn't it?"

"I just feel you are so unlucky to marry me."

Nicole spoke from her heart.

"Nonsense. Marrying you is the most fortunate thing in my life."

Samuel's comfort made Nicole more uncomfortable instead.

Jason couldn't get through to Nicole, so he called Samuel. Unfortunately, Samuel also hung up.

It occurred to him that it was over between the Dons and the Greens.

"Are you satisfied now? There are only three important families in the Seapolis City—the Greens, the Dons and the Louises. You've left us out on a limb by making the Greens our enemies."

Jason rarely lost his temper with Mrs. Don. This time, he couldn't help it.

Mrs. Don knew she might have gone too far, but she had to sense that herself, and Jason was in no position to blame her like this.

"So what? We don't need them. Nicole only had the audacity to push us around because she married into the Greens."

"Exactly who bullied whom? Mom, you're really something! You've pushed your own granddaughter away. Let's see if you'll regret it one day!"

Jason left angrily. He went abroad for business. He said he would look into a project there. But in fact, he just didn't want to be around the old fool Mrs. Don, fearing one more minute with her would cost his life.

Mrs. Don's resentment towards Nicole grew even bigger now that Jason had left town to avoid seeing her.

This black sheep caused so much trouble for the Dons!

Nicole naturally didn't know about the tension between Jason and Mrs. Don. She and Samuel quickly returned to the Green's.

When Laurel saw the blood oozing out of Samuel's back, she was shocked and asked, "What's going on? Why are you injured?"

Lucas quickly looked up.

However, Samuel waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Mrs. Don said these ten lashes can smooth things out. You know these scratches can't hurt me."

Laurel was infuriated when she heard that.

"That old hag! Even I never lay a finger on my son. How dared she whip you ten times! I have to reason with her!"

Noticing Laurel was mad, Samuel quickly stopped her.

"Mom, let this go. Besides, it was Lucas' fault. He ran to her house and messed around. As a father, I have to take the blame for my son. I couldn't let her beat Lucas, right? Let's forget about this. I'm fine. Some ointment will do me good, though."

Lucas looked unhappy when he heard that.

He felt bad to see the blood on his father's shirt.

He never wanted this much trouble. It was meant to be a revenge for his mother.

"Daddy, I'm sorry."

Lucas admitted that he had been wrong.

Noticing his son's sad expression, Samuel smiled and said, "It's fine. Your daddy is strong. Alright, you should rest too. It's about time to eat. Don't just stand there."

Laurel said with concern, "Even if you put it that way, this is still too much of a punishment. That old cow is simply inhumane."

"Alright, Mom, I'm hungry. Hurry up and check the kitchen to see if we can have dinner soon. We need to eat."

Samuel pushed Laurel into the kitchen.

Nicole did not say anything from beginning to end, because she was embarrassed and did not know what to say. Samuel took care of everything without mentioning her, which made Nicole even more distressed.
