Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 765

Hearing what Martha said, Nicole and Samuel exchanged glances.

If Maia really wanted to harm Martha, she would not have taken Martha away at that time. Since she could take her away, it meant that she still had Tim in her heart, or she even had known something, so she would secretly protect Tim's mother.

Thinking of this, Nicole whispered, "Forget it. Let's wait and see how things will go."

"That's the only way."

Martha nodded.

After seeing all of this, Samuel said, "I will go look for her with Alina, and I will sent people here. If you need anything, please tell me."

Seeing Samuel's worried expression, Nicole couldn't help but say with a smile, "I got it. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. At most, I'm going to see Tim."

"OK, be careful. I'm gonna go."

Samuel waved his hand and left with Alina.

Martha looked at Alina's back and sighed, "The children with divorced parents are the most pitiful. I'm so worried about Alina. She has no parents. How is she going to do with her life?"

"She only said that her father was gone. She didn't say that her mother was also gone, right?"

Nicole's words stunned Martha.

"Didn't she say that?"

"No, she never said anything about her mother."

Martha frowned and said, "Forget it. Her mother is not important. This child reminds me of my childhood though."

"Your childhood?"

"Yes, when I was young, my parents were divorced. My father wanted my sister instead of me. I didn't know why he didn't like me. It seemed that since I was born, he had never liked me, and my mother has always listened to everything he said. Every time my father lost his temper, my mother would hug me tightly in her arms. But my sister was especially doted by my father. Although my mother also liked her, she favored me more, perhaps because my father's attitude towards me. I've always felt that my sister and I lived a pathetic life. When my parents divorced, I was eight years old and my sister was twelve. At that time, she had already left home for school. I didn't see her when I left, and when I wanted to see her, my father didn't allow me to. It's been decades since then."

As Martha spoke of her sad past, Nicole listened quietly.

She never thought that her mother, Audrey, would have such a childhood.

"When Grandpa died, didn't they call you back?"

Martha shook her head.

"No, I didn't even know when my father passed away. It was my sister who told me that. However, my uncles didn't allow me and my mother to come back home. Mother didn't tell me why my father hated me so much even on her deathbed. She just told me not to disturb my sister's life and not to meet my father. I can see my sister only when I live in dire poverty."

Martha looked at Nicole with a forced smile and said, "Do you think I'm very pathetic?"

"How could this be? Why would Grandma said so?"

"I don't know. When my mother died, Ballard comforted me and helped me. After my mother got divorced, she didn't take anything from the Shaws. For so many years, in order to support me, she did many part-time jobs. Finally, she worked as a housekeeper in the Louis family so that she was able to afford my tuition. Who would know that such a woman from a wealthy family would work as a housekeeper for someone? But my mother didn't allow me to say that I was a child of the Shaw family, let alone tell others about my relationship with the Shaw family. In so many years, Mother worked like a horse. In the end, she was sick. I didn't have enough money to treat her. It was Ballard who paid for my mother's medical bills and helped me with her funeral. After my mother died, he married me regardless of the family's objections. I thought that my happy life would begin, but I didn't expect that after giving birth to Tim, I discovered that something was wrong with Ballard. He seemed to have cheated on me."

The forced smile remained on her face.

It still hurt her to bring it up now, but she felt much better than it was back then.

Nicole knew that if one person treated another person as his everything, then once he discovered that person had betrayed him, he would suffer a fatal blow. For Nicole, it was just like how she felt when she mistakenly thought that Samuel had betrayed her five years ago.
