Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 606

"What else do you want besides water?"

Laurel was surprised at what Nicole said, countering, "I don't know. It must come to me. As a Green, you're on call. Anyway, you don't work or earn money. Do you think you can just take anything for granted?"

She sounded snarkier as she spoke.

Nicole was bigger than that and said to the servant beside her, "Serve her a glass of water."

At that, she left without saying another thing to Laurel.

She could tell she was not welcome here. Laurel would keep jerking her around and even use her to humiliate the Dons.

She had no interest in defending the Dons or standing there waiting to be humiliated by Laurel.

Laurel was enraged by Nicole's arrogance and picked up the cup beside Mrs. Don, throwing it at Nicole's back.

"How rude of you! I asked you to serve me water, but you had the audacity to let a servant do it. What's the point of having you in my house?"

Nicole had just filled the cup with hot tea for Mrs. Don.

Nicole had never imagined Laurel would be so mad, so she didn't see that move coming, and the teacup as well as the hot tea hit her back.

"Nicole!"

Mrs. Don cried out in alarm.

Nicole felt a burning pain in her back.

"Laurel, what have you done? How can you blame Nicole for what Mark did? Does Samuel know you are out of your mind?"

Jason had trouble moving around, but his expression also changed.

Mrs. Don staggered to Nicole and asked with concern, "How is it? Does it hurt? Let's go. Grandma will take you to the doctor."

As she spoke, she held Nicole's hand.

Nicole could feel the bones of her hand.

She remembered Mrs. Don's hands used to be full. It seemed she had suffered a lot from that incident.

Nicole was in a daze for a moment, then pulled out her hand, and said, "I'm fine. Thank you, Mrs. Don."

Tears welled up in Mrs. Don's eyes when she heard what Nicole called her.

She had no one to blame but herself for how things were between her and Nicole.

Nicole's back was killing her. She was too angry to pay attention to Mrs. Don but turned to look at Laurel, asking word by word, "Do you find this entertaining?"

"Yes! It's been fun. What? Are you going to hit me?"

Laurel was fearless.

Nicole saw for the first time that Laurel was a real piece of work.

She smiled, "Do not assume I don't dare to hit you. You'd better think about the consequences before you do anything out of line. You have hurt my back, and Samuel is going to lie on the same bed with me tonight. Guess if he will ask me how I got this and if I will tell him the truth. You care so much about how Samuel treats you, afraid he would walk away from you, but you forget a man can be changed by what his woman tells him in bed. "

"Shameless! You bitch!"

In a fit, Laurel picked up something and threw it at Nicole again.

This time, Nicole dodged. Looking at Laurel's furious expression, she said coldly, "I'm a shameless bitch, but I picked it up from you. I am only as good as my teacher. Don't worry. I won't treat this wound so that Samuel can take a look when he comes back. I bet he will know how his good mother treats his wife."

"Don't you dare?"

Laurel panicked.

She had thought Nicole was a pushover. Didn't she use to put up with all the bullying she got in the Green's for three years? Why was she different now?

She actually wanted to complain to Samuel?

As if seeing Laurel through, Nicole said indifferently, "People change. I can't just let others push me around all my life, right? Eight years ago, I was alone, so I chose to not speak up. However, now I'm the mother of two. I have to protect my family. Do you think I'll still take all that crap? After what you have done to me, l ought to treat you as my mother? Laurel, you're actually quite beautiful, but you need to stop being so naïve."

With that, Nicole left.

Every step she took, her back hurt like hell.

Mrs. Don knew Nicole was having a hard time in the Green's because of Mark, based on the tension between her and Laurel.

Mrs. Don stopped Nicole and said, "I know you wouldn't forgive me. I am also aware of all the mistakes I have made, so you don't see me as your grandmother. I don't care about all that. I'm already in my twilight years and just hope you are doing well."

"I am. Thank you."

Nicole put on a faint smile, but it wasn't sincere.

Mrs. Don regretted it, but it was too late.

A wounded heart was hard to heal.

She whispered, "I know you disdain the Dons, but I have to say if you find the Greens hard to live with, our door is always open for you. Stand up for yourself if they blame you for things you never do."

"I will."

Nicole said firmly, "I will not leave the Green's because it is my choice. My children and husband are here. Why would I leave? I will not eat dirt, because if I do, my children will also suffer. And that is the last thing I want. Up till now, I have been fine without you Dons. So, don't concern yourself with me, Mrs. Don. If you are here today because you are afraid I am suffering grievances in this house, then you can rest assured. I will protect myself. Even if I can't, my husband will. Anyway, you can stop worrying about me. Please go home."

After saying that, Nicole went back to her room without any hesitation.

Laurel was still cursing Nicole, but Nicole had enough of it.

Nicole was in a dilemma.
