Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 605

"Zoe, what's wrong with you?"

Nicole hurriedly stood up and walked to Zoe.

With dirty clothes and face and messy hair, Zoe looked like she had had a fight.

"What's going on?"

Nicole soon turned to ask the person who went to pick up Zoe.

The man replied, "Miss Zoe happened to be in a fight when I arrived."

"Fighting? Why?"

Zoe had been quiet in Nicole's mind. She had never quarreled with others, apart from because of food. Why did she have a fight?

"It's true, Mrs. Green. Miss Zoe fought with a child, who is a commander's son."

"What?"

Nicole's heartbeat quickened.

"Zoe, what's going on?"

Zoe said in a somewhat aggrieved voice, "Nothing. He is annoying and intentionally bullies me."

"Really? Why?"

Nicole felt it sounded strange.

Zoe pursed her lips and said, "How do I know? He is stupid, and I don't know what's in his mind."

As Zoe refused to explain in detail, Nicole shook her head and took Zoe to wash up. Not long after, Zoe became as clean as before.

After washing up, Zoe looked around and asked, "Mommy, where is Joseph? I haven't seen him for a long time."

"How about I take you to see him?"

"Alright."

Zoe was excited.

Whereas Nicole felt more miserable.

She hoped that Zoe could help Joseph cheer up again.

Nicole entered Joseph's room with Zoe.

As same as before, Joseph curled up on a side of the bed. With his back facing the door, others couldn't see his expression clearly and failed to know how he was.

What Nicole saw wrung her heart once again.

Zoe pulled her hand back and directly ran into the room. After jumping on the bed, she threw back the covers, held Joseph's hand and said, "Joseph, get up! The sun is shining outside! Come on and let's have fun!"

Nicole was afraid that Joseph would be angry and shake off Zoe's hand. Fortunately, Joseph did not.

He looked at Zoe with a somewhat dull expression, neither spoke nor smiled. In fact, Nicole wasn't sure whether he stared at Zoe or not, as his eyes were glassy.

Zoe was dissatisfied with Joseph's response, so she reached out her small hand and shook it in front of Joseph.

"Joseph, wake up. How can you sleep with your eyes open?"

Nicole almost cried out at Zoe's words.

"Zoe, Joseph is unhappy. Can you comfort him?"

"Comfort?"

Zoe turned to Joseph, looking worried. She rubbed her chin and said, "What should I do? Joseph, how shall I comfort you? How about I give you a kiss?"

As she said, she approached Joseph and kissed him on the cheek.

Joseph was shocked at her behavior, and something changed in his eyes.

"He is awake! Joseph is awake!"

Zoe said in excitement.

Given Joseph finally reacted, Nicole put on a smile as well.

"Joseph, are you hungry? How do you feel?"

Joseph shook his head and held Zoe's hand. He closed his eyes again after putting his head on Zoe's shoulders.

Nicole did a double take.

What was going on?

Zoe reached out her hand to pat Joseph's back gently instead of being unhappy. She whispered, "You are a good child. Are you sleepy? How about I accompany you?"

Joseph held Zoe's hand with more power.

With her canine teeth showed, Zoe smiled happily and continued, "It's a deal. When you wake up, you will accompany me to eat delicious food. As you said, you will treat me to KFC."

Joseph remained silent.

"That's settled then. You need to keep your words. Swear!"

Zoe intertwined her little finger with Joseph's, which demonstrated that they promised each other.

Although Joseph still looked dull, at least he did not reject Zoe and allowed her to touch him.

It was probably because Joseph still liked Zoe and viewed her as his sister.

"Zoe, how about you stay here with Joseph?"

"Alright."

"I'm gonna leave. If you need anything, come to me, okay?"

"OK."

Zoe looked at Joseph with a gentle expression.

Asking Joseph to lie down, Zoe held his hand and lay beside him. She stared at Joseph with her watery eyes and laughed, "Don't worry, and I'm here. Have a good sleep."

As she spoke, she gently patted Joseph with the unoccupied hand, just like how Nicole did when lulling her to sleep.

Nicole smiled in relief.

"I'll handle them. You can go back."

"Leave it to you? As a Don, what are you going to do? Nicole, do you really think that you are in charge of the Greens now? Listen, you are no match of me as I own Night Elf Empire. You'd better be smart and not offend me. Otherwise, don't blame me for hurting you."

Mrs. Green snorted coldly before walking out.

Mrs. Don and Jason had been brought in.

Although Nicole didn't like the Don family, she couldn't let Mrs. Green do anything as she pleased.

Nicole washed her hands and walked out of the kitchen.

Mrs. Don couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Nicole coming out of the kitchen.

"There are so many servants in the Greens, why do you cook?"

Nicole was surprised.

It wasn't because of Mrs. Don's words, but because she was skinny.

Mrs. Don looked much thinner than before.

She had been in hospital occurred to Nicole. Back then, as she was old, no one was sure if she could get through that.

Nicole forced herself not to think of and care for Mrs. Don. However, she couldn't help but feel a little bitter when seeing Mrs. Don.

Mrs. Green spoke out before Nicole could say anything.

"Given what your family did to Vincent, why can't Nicole go to the kitchen and cook? It's natural for her to pay the Greens back. She deserves that."

Nicole frowned.

Was Mrs. Green planning to use her as an excuse?

Hearing Mrs. Green, Mrs. Don wept.

"We will take responsibility for what we did. It has nothing to do with Nicole. She grew up in the Bush family, and she is in fact not a Don. You can't treat her like this."

"You are interesting. As her mother-in-law, I can do whatever I want. Nicole, go serve guests with water. How impolite you are! Don't you know how to entertain guests? How did your parents educate you? You are not qualified to be marry into the Greens and be in charge of the family in the future at all."

Mrs. Green was mean.

Nicole tried her best not to talk back as she didn't want to argue with Mrs. Green in front of Jason and Mrs. Don. In any case, she was asked to serve them, who were her family as well, so Nicole endured.

She turned to the kitchen and made tea with boiling water for Mrs. Don and Jason.

"Please have some tea."

Nicole said indifferently.

Mrs. Don cried out, "Nicole, I'm sorry. It's the Dons that drag you down."

"It has nothing to do with you."

As soon as Nicole straightened her body, she heard Mrs. Green, "What about me? Are you my daughter-in-law? It's polite to serve guests, and it's your duty to serve me, your mother-in-law. Don't you know that?"

It seemed that Mrs. Green had made up her mind to fight against Nicole, as she even deliberately insulted Nicole in front of Jason and Mrs. Don. Nicole had no way but to deal with her.
