Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 790

"What's the matter?"

When he got in, Samuel saw that Nicole was anxious to get out of bed, so he asked.

"My parents are answering my call and their phones are turned off. I want to go over to check. I haven't visited them lately, nor even called. I'm such a bad daughter. They must feel sad."

Nicole blamed herself.

Samuel held her in his arms and whispered, "It is my fault. My problem. I'll go, and you rest at home."

"No, I'm going. I haven't seen them for weeks, and they're not answering my calls now. I feel uneasy. If I don't go by myself, I can't rest."

Hearing Nicole's words, Samuel did not insist any more.

"Alright, get ready. Eat something before leaving. Otherwise I won't let you go. You are not well."

Nicole nodded at Samuel's words.

"Alright, I'll have some. Will it be okay for the children to stay at home?"

"It's okay."

Nicole nodded.

Samuel brought some food.

After some preparations, Nicole sat down to eat. Although she felt sick from time to time, she tried her best to cover it up.

Seeing that she had eaten everything, Samuel said softly, "I'll go to the garage now. Wait for me at the door."

"Alright."

Nicole went downstairs with her stuff. When seeing Petty, Nicole gave a few instructions, then left with Samuel.

Samuel knew that Nicole was on edge, but he didn't rush. In a while, they arrived at the Bush's but found the door locked.

"Not home?"

Seeing this, Samuel asked.

"I will go in and check."

Nicole took out the key and went in. The house was as clean and orderly as usual. However, Nicole just felt that something was wrong.

Samuel came in after her and found nothing.

"It seems that they're out."

"Where's the servant?"

Only then did Nicole realize what she had neglected.

Because her parents were old and Nicole couldn't come back to take care of them frequently, she hired a servant for them, in addition to the housekeeper. Therefore, it was unreasonable that nobody was home.

Samuel frowned slightly.

"Do you have their phone numbers?"

"Yes, one moment."

Nicole quickly took out her phone to check, and found them in a while.

She called the newly hired servant.

"Hey, Rose, my parents are not at home now, but why aren't you here? Is everything all right?"

Rose needed a moment to recognize Nicole's voice.

"Oh, Ms. Nicole. I was dismissed by Mr. Bush."

"Dismissed? Why?"

Nicole was confused.

Rose sighed, "I don't know either. Everything went well, but one day Mr. Bush told me that he would travel around the world with Mrs. Bush and the house would be left deserted, so I was dismissed with one month salary as a compensation. So, you don't know it, Ms. Nicole?"

"No, when did my parents dismiss you?"

Nicole asked in a hurry.

Rose thought for a while and said, "Not that long, more than ten days ago."

"More than ten days? Did my parents say where they were going as the first stop?"

"No, that's not what I should know, so I didn't ask."

Till now, Nicole knew that she could get nothing more from Rose.

"Thank you, Rose."

"My pleasure. Ms. Nicole. I heard from Mr. Bush that you are married and are happy now. They feel lonely at home, so they would like to travel around. Call them, then you may find out where they are now."

Hearing what Rose said, Nicole said gloomily, "My parents' phones are off."

"Oh, maybe they're on the plane, leaving for the next stop. You can try again later."

"I will. Thanks again, Rose."

Nicole felt regretted after hanging up the phone.

Samuel held her in his arms and comforted, "My fault. I should have paid more attention to them."

"No. You are a son-in-law, and I am their daughter. I should have realized that my parents would be lonely after I got married. If I did, I would have brought them to our home. Now I don't even know where they are. I am such a bad daughter! My parents should feel sad now."

"Come on. It is their choice to travel around. Their whole life had been all about you, now they are living for themselves, convinced that you are happily married. Perhaps they are on the plane, let's try again later."

Samuel comforted Nicole.

Nicole nodded.

"I want to stay here for a while, okay?"

"Of course, this is your home. If you want to stay here, I'll be with you."

Nicole was moved by Samuel's gentleness.
