Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 490

Actually, Joseph did not sleep well.

He had gone through so much that he had trouble falling asleep.

After Nicole left, Joseph woke up and subconsciously got up. He was stunned as he saw Lucas sitting beside the bed.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm afraid that you'll fall asleep."

Lucas whispered, then stood up and poured a glass of water for Joseph.

Joseph was surprised.

He was used to do such little things before, and Lucas never did it. It was a bit awkward to see Lucas being so gentle.

"Take it!"

When Lucas saw Joseph looking at him blankly, he thought that Joseph was beaten dumb.

Joseph took the glass and smiled.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I just feel that it's good to have you at home."

Lucas was speechless.

He walked to the door and opened it to take a look. Nicole and the others were talking downstairs. No one looked upstairs. He closed the door and locked it. Then, he came back to sit beside Joseph.

Joseph was puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

"I want to tell you something."

Lucas' mysterious expression aroused Joseph's curiosity.

"What?"

Lucas looked at him as if considering whether to tell him or not. Joseph got impatient as he waited.

"What exactly are you going to say?"

"Let's run away from home."

Joseph was startled.

"Running away from home? Are you serious?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Lucas hurriedly covered Joseph's mouth and whispered, "Do you still want to stay here? Look at your injuries. Grandma and my daddy are protecting you now, but Uncle Vincent is your father. If he wants to take you away, what can we do? I can't stop him, right? But you'll suffer again if you go with him."

Joseph frowned.

"But he's my daddy. I have to listen to him. Besides, he did everything for my own sake. People said that Daddy beats me because he is too concerned about my future."

"Nonsense! We can teach ourselves! Remember the coach? We did a good job without him, didn't we? Your daddy is crazy. If you stay with him, you'll be beaten to death. And I will lose my only brother."

Joseph didn't reply.

To be honest, he didn't want to go back to the base with Vincent.

Life there was too bitter.

Moreover, Vincent's requirements were too strict. Joseph could not complete any of the training programs he had set.

"I can leave on my own. But if you go with me, Uncle Samuel and Mommy will worry about you."

Joseph looked at Lucas. He knew that Lucas was different from him.

Samuel and Nicole regarded Lucas as their treasure.

However, Lucas said indifferently, "Don't worry. I'll leave a letter for them."

"Where are you going? Do you have any plans?"

Joseph looked at Lucas and saw confidence in his eyes. He knew that Lucas never took risks. In other words, he might have got a plan.

Lucas chuckled as he took out a business card and said, "Look, it is a shooting club. It's said that they have real guns. I met this person at the playground today. He told Mommy that as long as I join the club, I will become a sharpshooter under his training. You know, I really like shooting. You are good at it too. We can go here together. The club provides food and accommodation, so we don't have to live on the streets. Besides, I have some pocket money. It's enough."

Joseph took a look at the business card. He frowned slightly and said, "Is this man reliable?"

"We will know when we get there. If it's a lie, with our intelligence, we can definitely get out from there. Don't worry. If you don't want to go, I'll leave alone. But you should promise me. Don't tell my mommy and daddy where I go after I leave, okay?"

As Lucas spoke, he carefully put away the business card.

Joseph looked at him. It seemed that Lucas had made up his mind. Joseph felt like leaving with him.

He was in pain now although he had had some ointment. If Daddy left the Green's tomorrow, should he go with him?

After he returned to the base, he would have to do the training day and night. He might even be beaten up.

It was better to follow Lucas to the shooting club. At least he could learn a skill.

Thinking of this, Joseph whispered, "When are we going to leave?"

"Tonight. I originally planned to wait a few days. But if Uncle Vincent leaves tomorrow, he will definitely take you away. And it will be difficult for me to find you then. You should consider carefully. Do you want to leave with me? Don't worry. I will cover you."

Lucas patted Joseph's shoulder.

Joseph felt a little pain, but his mind cleared.

"I'll go with you!"

Joseph did not want to live the life that Vincent had arranged for him anymore. Moreover, he had really worked hard, but Vincent was never satisfied. It was too disappointing.

Lucas was delighted that Joseph decided to leave.

"Then I'll go back and pack up."

"What are you going to pack? We just need to take our bank cards, don't we?"

Lucas felt that Joseph's question was silly.

"Are you stupid? If we use the cards, they would know our location. We can only use cash."

"That's right. Why didn't I think of it?"

Joseph touched the back of his head and said, "But we need to take a lot of cash with us. What if we get robbed?"

"Don't worry. I know what to do!"

Lucas said mysteriously, and then whispered, "Keep watch. I'll go back to my room to pack up."

"Alright."
