Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 380

Hearing that she could be forgiven, Zoe immediately took Laurel to the greenhouse. She pointed at Laurel's two favorite pots of peony and said, "I vented my anger on them."

At first, Laurel didn't find anything wrong with them, but after careful examination, she discovered they had been uprooted and were just standing in the pits.

They seemed fine but had no chance of survival because peonies were delicate.

What was worse, they were Laurel's favorites.

Her heart was dripping blood!

"Grandma, you said if I was honest, I was still a good kid. I know I've made a mistake. Please don't be angry."

Zoe blinked, her big eyes innocent. Laurel couldn't stay mad at her. But her flowers!

Her heart ached for them!

"I know you were angry with your daddy. But what have my flowers done to you? Why did you take it out on them?"

Laurel couldn't figure this out.

Zoe said somewhat awkwardly, "I was planning to ask Daddy to come here, so that I could tell you it was him. Then he can be punished."

Laurel's heart was bleeding when she heard that.

What kind of theory was this?

"Do you think you can outsmart your daddy?"

"Daddy loves me very much. As long as I tell him to bring me here, he would do it. At that time, I will say he did it."

Zoe said plausibly. Laurel was itching to slap this girl.

Zoe's plan didn't make sense.

The father and daughter were mad at each other, but what did it have to do with her flowers? They died for nothing. Laurel felt such pain for it.

"Grandma, are you angry?"

Zoe tugged at a corner of Laurel's clothes and looked at her innocently.

What can the poor woman say?

That she was distressed?

How could a four-year-old comprehend that?

Laurel sighed and said, "You are not allowed to vent your anger on my flowers again, understand?"

"Yes."

Zoe let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Grandma wasn't angry.

She stuck out her tongue at Laurel's back before running out of the greenhouse.

Laurel looked at the doomed peonies and felt great pain. In the end, she had to ask someone to throw them away.

When Samuel and Nicole came out, they happened to see the servants carrying the flowers to throw out.

Nicole remembered she had loosened the soil for them not long ago, so she couldn't help but ask.

"What's wrong with the flowers? Why did you take them out?"

"Mrs. Bush, they were uprooted by Zoe, so they won't survive. Mrs. Green told us to throw them away. She was so sad for them!"

Hearing that, Nicole and Samuel glanced at each other, as if they couldn't believe Zoe had done this.

"You mean Zoe did it?"

"Yes. She wanted to frame you for this. But then she changed her mind knowing you were injured. She apologized to Mrs. Green. Mrs. Green said she wouldn't punish Zoe since she confessed. So, the matter was settled."

The corners of Samuel's mouth twitched.

"Did you say that girl wanted to plant this on me? She thought I could do something this stupid?"

"Alright."

Nicole felt Samuel was not on the point.

"Let's buy Mom new ones. I can tell that she likes these two pots the best. Why is your daughter so naughty all of a sudden?"

Nicole thought Zoe was a good kid. Her deed today surprised Nicole. It looked like she was willful after all!

"Got it."

Samuel didn't know what else to say.

Vincent and Joseph also came back, and Zoe was thrilled to see Joseph. They went to the restaurant together.

"Joseph, I miss you so much!"

She gave Joseph a big hug.

Joseph grinned from ear to ear with joy. He touched Zoe's head and said, "I heard you guys went to the amusement park?"

"That's right. It is a pity that you weren't with us. Can I take you with me next time?"

"Okay!"

Joseph quickly agreed.

When Lucas came downstairs, he seemed to be worried.

"Boss, you'll be here for a few days, won't you?"

Joseph liked to be with Lucas.

Lucas looked at Samuel.

Samuel smiled and said, "You and Zoe can stay here with Grandma for a few more days."

"Great."

Lucas did not refute, which surprised Joseph.

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"Eat!"

Lucas didn't want to say more. He didn't intend to tell Joseph what he had done.

The family ate happily.
