Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 829

"Just you? What can you do to me? I don't think Samuel has taught you anything good. Or did he teach you to offend the elders? No matter what, Laurel is his mother and she has raised him. How can he not show any mercy?"

Nicole intended to contradict what he said, but Edwin's strength was so strong that cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

Nicole really hated this grandfather who played hardball the first time she met him.

"You know nothing else than bullying your granddaughter, don't you? I think you have gone through a lot waiting for retiring to live here, right? I don't think you have any real ability. Otherwise, how couldn't you distinguish right from wrong?"

Even if she was caught, Nicole never admitted defeat with her sharp remarks.

Edwin looked irritated.

"You know nothing!"

"Yeah. But as for what you've done, shame on you! You even help a damned Laurel. You don't deserve to live here!"

Nicole didn't care about what would happen to her. In any case, she just couldn't compromise against her conscience.

Moreover, this old man had also placed her mother under house arrest. A ball of fire had already burned in her heart, and she wished she could burn up this place.

Edwin used more strength again. Nicole felt that her wrist was about to break, but she clenched her teeth and didn't utter a word.

Just when she believed that Edwin would broke her hand, Edwin let go of her.

Nicole quickly took two steps back, feeling as if she was being reborn. She had to admit that Edwin was old but vigorous, who could not be belittled. If they really had a fight, she did not know if she was able to compete with Edwin.

"Sit down."

Edwin restrained his hostility immediately, sighed, and sat in his seat.

Nicole was a little dumbfounded.

What was going on?

However, she did not want to stand. After all, she had been bullied just now. If she still stood, she would be like a punished child.

Nicole sat back down, and the water on her hand became a little cold.

She wanted to ask someone to change for hot water, but after reflection, she gave up. Otherwise, she didn't know what Edwin would do.

Edwin saw through her and coughed. He shouted to the outside, "Bring a cup of hot water."

"Yes, sir."

The people outside replied. Not long after, a man came in with a cup of hot water and even brought some dried fruits and snack.

"Have some. You are no longer as strong as before. You need to replenish some energy. Otherwise, if there is birth defect in the child, you will suffer."

After Edwin finished speaking, he waved his hand. The man went out again and closed the door.

Nicole felt that Edwin was simply a strange old man.

"I have no appetite. Who knows if you've added anything to it? What if I get poisoned after eating?"

Nicole's words again irritated Edwin.

"You are indeed form the Don family. Your words irritated me. If I want to poison you to death, you will never have chance to retaliate."

"I doubt you. Then what if you just want to watch me suffer? Otherwise, why are you keeping my mother under house arrest?"

Nicole was simply unrelenting.

Edwin's chest rose and fell in anger. He quickly drank some water to suppress it.

"I knew it. Your mother can't be with the Don. Their child could anger me to death."

"Aren't you now alive and well?"

"Because you haven't seen me before!"

Only after Edwin finished speaking did he feel that he was driven crazy like a child.

"Whatever. Anyway, the baby in your womb is not a Shaw."

Nicole suddenly felt that Edwin was a little cute.

She calmed down and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, let my mother go. She's old and has had a hard life. How many more years can you keep her? Besides, you have no right to do so. She's an adult! Isn't it a bit barbaric for you to keep her because she doesn't obey you?"

"I'm indeed barbaric. What's wrong?"

Edwin immediately played a rogue.

This was beyond Nicole's expectation.

She wanted to laugh, but she didn't dare to. She could only get up and walk behind Edwin. She held his shoulder with both hands and said in a low voice, "Grandpa, why do you have to help Laurel? You know the crime she committed. It's not something I can explain in just a few words. How can I deserve such morality since you, with such power, have failed to bail her out?"

No one knew if Nicole's actions moved Edwin, or if it was simply because of her words. Edwin sighed and said in a low voice, "Do you think I don't know that she's vicious? But I can't catch her now."

"Why? You have to tell me."

"Why are you like your mother, keeping asking why? A man like you would be shot in the army."

Even at this age, Edwin would never change his character.

On the contrary, Nicole felt that Edwin was very cute.
