Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 525

"Wow! Steak!"

Zoe's excitement stood in contrast to the frown on Joseph's face.

"Miss Zoe and Mr. Joseph, here is the steak. Please enjoy yourself."

A maid brought the freshly cooked steak to Zoe.

However, Joseph stopped Zoe from eating and looked at the maid, saying, "We want to go out to eat steak. This is medium-cooked. Zoe likes medium-well, and the steak must be airlifted from abroad."

"Joseph, I...."

"Shut up!"

Joseph glared at Zoe.

Although Zoe really wanted to eat, she flinched at the sight of Joseph's gaze. However, her eyes were still fixed on the steak, which made her mouth water.

Joseph wanted Zoe to eat steak, but they couldn't eat here.

The maid didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mr. Joseph, the steak was just flown in from abroad. It's very fresh. As for the medium-well steak you mentioned, I'll ask them to make it now. Please wait a moment."

Then the maid took the steak out.

"Hey, my steak!"

Zoe wished she could snatch the steak from the maid, but Joseph grabbed her arm.

"Joseph, my steak!"

"We still have no idea how Mommy is doing. You can only use food to stall them now. I'll go get something."

Joseph was a little worried about Zoe.

She was so innocent that Joseph didn't know if she could hold off those people.

Hearing this, Zoe frowned and said, "You mean that no matter what they bring, I should say that I'm not satisfied and ask them to cook again?"

"That's right! You're really a smart girl!"

Joseph praised, but Zoe pulled a long face.

"Joseph, you're a bad guy! You know that I like food, but you actually asked me to deliberately find fault with those delicacies. You're the worst person in the world!"

Joseph felt uncomfortable and distressed when hearing Zoe's complaint.

"I promise you that if you can resist their temptation three times, I'll treat you to KFC and Dexter three times. Is it okay?"

Because Zoe was in poor health, both Samuel and Nicole forbade her from eating junk food. And they would ration if Zoe must eat. Now that Joseph promised to treat her delicious food, Zoe smiled happily and stretched out her little finger.

"Let's make a pinky promise."

Joseph looked at the chubby little hand and stretched out his finger without hesitation.

"Now we make a pinky promise! Whoever breaks the promise will become a dog!"

When their fingers entwined, Zoe smiled even more happily, but Joseph was slightly sad.

'Lucas isn't here, and I even don't know if Mommy is alright. I must take Zoe out of here! I don't want Mommy to worry about us.'

Joseph thought to himself and comforted Zoe before he went out of the window.

Zoe said worriedly, "Joseph, this place is so high. Be careful."

"I know. Remember not to let them in until I come back. You can say that you don't want steak anymore and exchange it for something else. Just try to stall them for as long as you can."

Joseph enjoined Zoe again.

Zoe nodded and said, "I know. I can resist if I don't see the delicious food."

"Good girl!"

Joseph smiled at Zoe and climbed out of the window.

There were bodyguards downstairs.

Joseph didn't know that Vincent actually sent so many people to watch over him and Zoe. Many of those bodyguards were from the base. Joseph had seen them when Vincent had put him to a special training.

Joseph bit his lower lip and carefully went to the kitchen.

The people in the kitchen were busy. As the maid had said, the steaks were indeed flown in by private jets and were very fresh. Now the maid was instructing other servants to cook the steak.

As they were occupied with cooking, Joseph slipped in and quickly hid under the table.

His eyes lit up when he saw the thing at hand. He secretly packed it in a cloth bag and tied it with a rope. Then he used a pulley to transport the bag to the window of the room in which he was kept.

Zoe was shocked and ran over, discovering that a bag was hanging in front of the window by a rope connected to another room.

She frowned slightly, opened the window, and drag the bag in with all her strength.

Joseph poked his head out and saw Zoe carrying the bag inside. Then he smiled happily and gave Zoe a thumbs-up.

After receiving Joseph's praise, Zoe regained her spirits and even took off her coat to take the bag in.

With Zoe's help, Joseph was even more confident.

He had been trained in the training base, so he knew how to avoid those people and surveillance cameras. Besides, he was small that he could move around the back of the kitchen freely.

Bags of things were transported along the rope to their room.

Not long after, Zoe was tired and broke out in a sweat. But in her opinion, everything was funny and interesting, so she became more and more energetic.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Zoe quickly held her breath.

There was a knock on the door and the maid's voice sounded.
