Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 417

"Zoe, stop!"

Lucas finally failed to stop Zoe from wiping her greasy little hand on his clothes. Five fingerprints instantly appeared on his pure white shirt.

Lucas curled his lips.

"Zoe! You're so dirty!"

"I'm not dirty. My hands are very clean, and my clothes are also very clean. I carry handkerchiefs every day. Lucas, what's wrong with your clothes? You're old enough, but why are you so carelessly?"

Zoe made up and complained first, causing Lucas' face to turn red with anger.

Nicole and the others laughed.

Ever since Zoe recovered, she had become lively, and she was even somewhat naughty.

"Alright, alright. I bought a few clothes for you guys to keep at home a few days ago. Lucas, come upstairs with me to change your clothes."

Samuel looked at Lucas' angry face and couldn't help but feel a little distressed for him.

Lucas stood up with a gloomy face and followed Samuel upstairs, while Zoe kept sticking out her tongue to make a face to Lucas.

"Zoe, you're too naughty. Why are you teasing your brother like this?"

Nicole thought that Zoe was going too far.

Zoe stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm just joking with him. Lucas is too serious. Mommy, don't you think Lucas is like a little old man? He's so boring."

Nicole agreed with Zoe on that.

Lucas was sensible and mature. It was not strange for him to be thought as a little old man. Nicole was worried about him.

Laurel seemed to know what Nicole was thinking. She patted Nicole's hand and said, "Every child has his own choice. What we can provide is usually the most basic things, and there're also many things they have to experience. Besides, Lucas is a boy, so it's fine to experience more. On the contrary, girls need to be nurtured carefully."

"Grandma means that I need to be taken good care of, right?"

Zoe's sweet smile and cute voice instantly made Nicole and Laurel laugh.

"Yes, you are the little princess. Hurry up and eat more."

"Of course I will. Otherwise, I won't be able to eat when Lucas comes back."

Zoe said with grievances as if Lucas usually snatched food from her, but Nicole just smiled.

Laurel looked at them, smiled and said, "Lucas and Zoe miss you. They insist on coming here to see you. I know what you're worried about. The rumors cannot hurt them. Don't worry. If I don't bring them over, I'm afraid they'll complain me all the time."

"No, Grandma. I'll be good. I'm a good girl."

Zoe hurriedly expressed that she was very good.

Nicole smiled and rubbed Zoe's hair. "Alright, you're a good girl. Hurry up and eat."

After saying that, Nicole looked at Laurel and said gratefully, "Mom, you and the Green family have done so much for me. I'm sorry for causing trouble for the Green family."

"What are you talking about? You are the mistress of the Green family. We're a family. You don't have to be sorry."

Laurel's words caused Nicole's eyes to immediately turn red.

"Even so, I'm grateful. The Green family becomes my strong backing after such an incident. I am very lucky."

"Silly girl, don't say these. I believe that Samuel will handle it well. I also believe that you are a good girl. This will definitely pass. Now, don't think about these. Have fun with the children. I'll bring them back later in the evening."

When Nicole heard that Laurel was going to bring Lucas and Zoe back, she was a little stunned.

"They can stay here for a few days."

"I'll bring them here if they miss you. It's not convenient to live here."

Laurel didn't say it clearly, but Nicole already understood.

Staying here might get into trouble. Lucas and Zoe were still innocent and naive. If anything happened here, they would be the first to suffer.

Looking at her innocent daughter, Nicole nodded. However, she felt very uncomfortable.

It was so difficult for Nicole to share the family time. Then why would she stand Swift and her reckless behaviors?

She had to think of a method to make a difference.

Nicole frowned slightly. Laurel could guess what she was thinking.

Laurel picked up the food to her bowl and slowly said, "There are some old ways but work every time. Such as draw a snake out of its hole."

Nicole was surprised to hear this.

"Mom, you mean..."

"I don't mean anything. I'm getting old, and I can't remember many things. Finish the dinner quickly. It'll be cold in a while."

Laurel smiled and her eyes were full of wisdom.

Nicole didn't understand what Laurel meant at once, so she could only lower her head to eat.

When Zoe was about to finish eating, Lucas and Samuel walked down. Lucas was still unhappy.

"Lucas is so beautiful!"

Zoe's praise made Lucas curled his lips again.

"You can't say a boy beautiful. I am handsome."

"Why can't I say beautiful? What's wrong with beautiful?"

Zoe seemed to be happy about teasing Lucas now. Lucas was lost for words.

He walked to Nicole and looked at her expectantly.

With a handsome casual dress, Lucas looked really handsome.

Nicole looked at him with excitement and pride.

Nicole immediately cheered the two children up by saying that.

Samuel said dejectedly, "I also want to go to rest. Can I join you?"

"No!"

Zoe and Lucas answered at the same time.

Nicole smiled and said, "You stay with Mom for a while. Mom, I'll take Zoe and Lucas upstairs to rest for a while. You can leave in the evening."

"Alright!"

Laurel smiled and did not stop them.

"Mom, you're tired, too. Don't you want to have a rest?"

Samuel blinked at her, but Laurel shook her head as if she didn't understand. "I'm not tired. I slept well last night, so I'm energetic now. How about playing chess with me?"

Hearing this, Samuel had no more illusions.

Seeing him like this, Nicole pursed her lips and laughed.

Samuel really looked like a child.

Lucas was afraid that Nicole would go back on her word, so he grabbed her arm and said, "Mommy, let's go upstairs and rest."

"Yeah, Mommy, let's go take a nap."

Zoe pulled Nicole's other hand and happily followed Nicole upstairs.

Looking at her two children beside, Nicole was indescribably satisfied.

After Nicole went to bed, Lucas and Zoe lay beside her. Lucas did not say anything. Zoe asked Nicole to tell her a story.

Nicole recalled how she looked after two children five years ago. They lay down together so warmly. Nicole would take care of Lucas and Zoe until they fell asleep.

Nicole was especially excited. She told the children's favorite stories and watched them slowly fall asleep beside her. In the end, she fell asleep, too.

Three people were lying on the big bed. The afternoon sun shone in, making people feel good.

Even though it was raining and storming outside, at this moment, they felt warm and happy.

When Samuel entered, he saw such a scene. He immediately softened up. If possible, Samuel really hoped that the happy days would last forever.

He still remembered that he had promised Nicole to take them out for a trip. Their trip was delayed because of these troubles. Samuel felt guilty.

Lucas had already woken up. Seeing Samuel enter, he looked at the somewhat dim sky outside and knew that they were about to leave. Lucas was a little reluctant.

"You have to be good to Mommy."

"I see."

Samuel couldn't wait for them to leave. He hadn't been with his wife all afternoon.
