Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 747

After stopped by the Bushes' family and having dinner together, Nicole decided to go to the mall to buy something for the children.

"I forgot to buy gifts for the kids this time because I came back in such a hurry. Let's go to the mall and get something for them."

Nicole smirked as she talked to Samuel.

Samuel shook his head, "I know you are busy. Therefore, I already have the gifts ready for them. You do not have to worry anymore."

"Wait, when did you get them? How is that possible that I have been with you all the time but did not notice you prepared the gifts?"

Nicole felt that some parts of her memories must be lost. Otherwise, why didn't she see Samuel shopping for the children and her parents?

Samuel rubbed Nicole's head with a smile, "There is another me."

"No. Seriously! When did you go out to buy them?"

"I bought them on my way back when I headed out to deal with Johnnie's business.

Hearing Samuel's words, Nicole felt a bit ashamed.

Samuel remembered to bring gifts for her family even when he went to the police station and looked for Johnnie. Instead, she was the one who forgot of it.

"I am so glad to have you around."

"Is that so? Now you know how good I am?"

There was no doubt that Samuel enjoyed Nicole's praise.

"But if you want to go shopping, we can do it."

"Forget it. Let's go home. The children must be waiting for us."

Nicole wanted to go shopping at first because she was going to buy gifts for the children. Now that Samuel had finished the task, there was no need to go to the shopping mall anymore. She preferred going back and seeing the children as soon as possible.

Seeing that Nicole was eager to go home, Samuel got on the car with her together and returned to the Green's old house.

Nicole had a complex feeling with she arrived at the Green's.

When she left, she thought that she would never be able to return. She even felt that she would never see Samuel for the rest of her life. But now, she was standing here again. Looking at this ancient building, Lauren also came to Nicole's mind.

Although Lauren already passed away, Nicole could still imagine her showing up around once seeing the house.

Seeing Nicole stop moving, Samuel knew that she recalled those bad memories.

"Maybe we can just move to the villa instead of this place."

"I am fine. Sooner or later, we will have to move in. Don't worry about me."

Nicole turned to Samuel and made a smile.

But Samuel could tell that Nicole was trying to hide her feeling of hurt and exhaustion.

"Don't worry, Nicole. No one will hurt you from now on. Lauren has already dead."

"I know."

Nicole held Samuel's hand and walked into the Green's old house.

Everything here was so familiar to Nicole. Someone was still taking care of the flower garden that Lauren liked.

Nicole always felt that Lauren was still sitting in that garden and taking care of those plants.

She knew that all of this was her imagination.

"Daddy, Mommy! You're back?"

Zoe shouted out and immediately ran over to Samuel and Nicole happily when she came out of her room and saw them.

Samuel directly held Zoe up.

"My darling, did you miss daddy?"

"Of course I did. My heart hurt, my teeth hurt, and my mouth hurt. Look at me, I missed daddy so much that I gained some weight."

Zoe said to Samuel seriously.

Nicole chuckled.

"Did you gain weight because you ate too much?"

"You are right, mommy. That was because I missed both of you. I felt sad when I thought of you, so I wanted to eat something to distract myself. Look, I am fat again."

Nicole did not know what to say when she heard Zoe's words.

Samuel pinched Zoe's face and smiled, "It is ok. My little princess is not fat, you look perfect."

"Really?"

"Of course it is true!"

"Daddy, you are the best!"

Zoe hugged Samuel tightly.

Nicole could not help but smile when she saw Zoe being so joyful.

Joseph was standing at the door as he saw Zoe's interaction with Samuel and Nicole. It made him somewhat upset.

Nicole noticed Joseph's location. Her heart ached when she saw the sadness in Joseph's eyes.

"Joseph, come here. Mommy wants to hug you. We have not seen each other for a while. Let me see if you have gained some weight as I expected."

Joseph felt a little shy when he heard Nicole's words.

"No, I remained the same weight. But I miss daddy and mommy, too."

"Sweetheart, come here."

Nicole directly pulled Joseph into her arms.

Joseph's body was a little stiff, but he quickly relaxed between Nicole's arms.

He lay on Nicole's shoulder and whispered, "Mommy, welcome home."

Nicole's heart immediately softened.

"Boy, mommy misses you. I mean it. Do you want to go on a trip all together next time?"

"Yes."

Joseph was very quiet.

Ever since the recovery from autism, Joseph acted as if he had grown up suddenly and like the eldest son of the family. He always thought about his younger siblings and became more mature. On the contrary, Lucas, who originally acted as a calm adult, was much more lively and cheerful now.

Nicole's heart ached for Joseph.
