Nicole felt that she had become a shameless person. How could she allow Samuel to kiss her on such
an occasion? Moreover, the previous incident was still influencing Zoe. Zoe could not see it again.
Thinking of this, Nicole hurriedly pushed Samuel away.
“Stop messing around. Zoe will be out soon.’
She whispered, afraid that the two children inside would hear her.
However, Samuel whispered, “What are you afraid of? There's still a while before they go out.”
“No”
Nicole didn't want to embarrass herself.
However, Samuel couldn't let her go.
While they were still kissing, Joseph coughed and pretended to be mature, “Last time, Grandma
seemed to say that you guys shouldn't do something in front of us, right?”
Hearing that, Nicole bushed.
Samuel glared at him fiercely, but Joseph didn't care at all.
“Zoe is about to come out.”
Zoe was threatening Samuel.
Samuel felt that he had lost his authority, and was threatened by a little kid. Moreover, this little kid
used to be afraid of him.
This was too depressing.
Nicole didn't care what Samuel was thinking. Now, she was afraid that Zoe would have a negative
opinion of her. This child had strong possessiveness towards Samuel. Maybe it was because Zoe had
longed for paternal love since she was little. She finally got it. In this way, Zoe wished Samuel could be
her exclusive. Even her mother shouldn't bother them.
Seeing that Nicole cared so much, Samuel did not have the impulse just now.
He tidied up Nicole's clothes before turning around to prepare tableware for them.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief, but she was a little disappointed.
She looked at Samuel, who seemed as usual. However, her legs were weak and her cheeks were red.
It seemed that she was the only one who was affected,which gave her complicated feeling.
Nicole was a little confused. Perhaps after Samuel confessed his emotions, she had also become
pretentious and wanted more from him.
She shook her head, intending to clear her mind. Just at that time, Nicole saw Zoe coming out. Right
away, Zoe turned to look towards Samuel.
Seeing that Samuel was placing her chopsticks, she happily ran towards Samuel.
“Daddy, I can do it myself”
Zoe ran over from Nicole's side without even looking at her.
Nicole had a huge psychological gap.
This girl completely ignored her now, didn’t she?
Samuel held up Zoe and put her on his lap. He smiled and said, “What do you want to eat? Daddy will
pick it up for you”
“Was this all cooked by Daddy?”
Zoe looked up at Samuel with admiration.
“Of course.”
Samuel had never thought one could be proud of being able to cook, but now seeing his daughter's
adoring gaze, he suddenly understood. It was quite good to grasp culinary skills.
“Daddy, you're awesome!”
Zoe gave her compliments with enthusiasm. She even gave Samuel a kiss.
The more Nicole thought about it, the worse she felt.
Why did her baby girl, who he had been taken good care of for five years, suddenly abandon her?
Joseph looked at Zoe and Samuel, shook his head, and jumped down from his chair. He came to
Nicole and said, “Mommy, it’s fine. I'll eat with you. Anyway, I'm a gentleman. Unlike someone, who
tends to be fickle in his affection”
The word fickle was spoken in a loud voice.
Samuel was stunned for a moment, and his expression was somewhat gloomy.
“Joseph, study the word seriously. What does it mean to be fickle? Write down the explanation of this
word.’
Joseph was upset at once.
Did he use the wrong word again?
Wasn't upset the proper word to describe him?
Joseph held Nicole's hand and went to the dining table unhappily.
Zoe was sure to be happy in Samuel's embrace and kept telling him what she wanted to eat.
Nicole was clear that she was neglected, but she couldn't fight for Samuel's favor with her daughter.
Joseph picked up a piece of crispy cake and put it into Nicole's bowl. “Mommy, try this. This is
delicious”
“Thank you, Joseph.”
Nicole finally felt a little comforted.
She stroked Joseph's hair and began to eat.
Seeing that Nicole was far away from the stir-fried shredded potatoes, Samuel picked up a chopstick
for Nicole. Unexpectedly, Zoe immediately said, “Daddy, I want to eat that as well.”
“Alright, here you are.”
Nicole suddenly felt that her daughter had a sense of hostility towards her.
Really?
Just some potatoes from him led to the girl’s resentment towards her.
Nicole felt depressed.
Joseph was busy filling Nicole's bowl, while Zoe was busy pestering Samuel to feed her. The
atmosphere was delicate and Nicole felt awkward.
After finishing the meal, Samuel wanted to tidy up the table, but was stopped by Zoe.
“Daddy, can you tell me a story? I'm tired of hearing what Mommy keeps telling me”
“Story-telling? How about waiting for Daddy after I tidy up the table?”
“No! I don't want to wait! I want Daddy to tell a story now!”
Zoe acted like a little princess.
Nicole could tell that this girl had made up her mind to occupy Samuel today. Obviously, her mommy
was interfering them.
“Come on, I'll go do the washing.”
Nicole stood up and began to collect the dishes and chopsticks.
Samuel looked at her with apology and didn't say anything, but he knew that Nicole would understand
him.
Zoe was in poor health. Although she had been recuperating for the past few days, she was still not in
good spirits and liked to sleep. When she was awake, she wished to see Samuel every day. However,
Samuel was too busy.
Nicole wouldn't fight for Samuel's favor with her daughter, so she smiled at Samuel and started to clean
up the dishes.
Joseph jumped off the chair and said, “Mommy, let me help you”
“Alright, thank you, Joseph”
Nicole smiled and agreed to Joseph's request.
They carried the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen. The laughter of Zoe and Samuel could be heard
from the room. It was so sweet and warm.
Joseph looked at them and said in a considerate manner, “Mommy, Zoe is very scared. She is afraid
that she won't be able to be alive after the operation. Sometimes I see her crying alone. Don't be upset
if Zoe is pestering Daddy, will you? She hasn‘t seen Daddy for five years. Now she finally has the
chance. Besides, Zoe doesn't know if her surgery will succeed, so she cherishes her time with Daddy
even more.”
Hearing Joseph's words, Nicole felt sorry.
Zoe was very sensible and didn’t cause any trouble for Nicole these years. Even if she was in poor
health, she would never let her worry. Now that she was so young, she had to worry about her
operation. Besides, Zoe suffered from the harm from Allen. That was why Zoe cherished her biological
father Samuel so much. Nicole understood, but she didn't expect herself to be so nervous.
“Joseph, thanks for taking care of Zoe”
“It's not a big deal. If Lucas were here, he might do better. Mommy, where is he now? Does he miss
us?”
Joseph didn’t want to mention Lucas in the first place, but he just couldn't help it.
Nicole also wanted to know if Lucas was alright. Now, she knew that Lucas was safe. After she dealt
with current troubles, she would go and see Lucas.
“Don't worry. Lucas is fine. You will meet sooner or later”
Nicole's confidence made Joseph feel relieved.
It would be great if Lucas was fine.
As Joseph thought this, he started to clean up the dishes with Nicole.
Nicole didn’t want him to do the washing, but Joseph did it in a good manner, which surprised Nicole a
little.
“How could you know how to wash dishes?”
“Well, Grandma said that I can learn something when I'm free. I'm a boy, and I'm so smart. I'll learn
everything quickly”
Joseph said proudly.
Nicole suddenly realized that the family accidents might urge children to grow up. The delicate boy of
the Greens now knew how to wash dishes.
Nicole praised Joseph. Joseph was very happy. They stayed outside for a while before returning to the
ward.
However, before they could reach the door, Nicole heard Zoe's shout.
“Who are you? Stay away from my daddy! Listen, my daddy is married! Daddy is mine!”
This sentence surprised Nicole.
What happened?
Joseph was also a little nervous, so he hurried to run towards the ward with Nicole.
When Nicole arrived at the ward, she saw Zoe standing in front of Samuel with her arms stretched like
a hen. The person in
front of Zoe happened to be Viola!
Viola?
Nicole was a little surprised.
“Viola, didn’t you go to look for Charlotte? Why are you here?”
Nicole's voice got Viola's attention. Only then did she looked away from Zoe. She turned around and
said to Nicole, “Nicole, if
you don't like me, just tell me clearly.
Why did you tease me?”
“What do you mean? When did I tease you?”
Nicole was confused by Viola‘s words.
Viola snorted coldly and said, "I really thought that you were kind so that you introduced me to
Charlotte. I didn't expect that
after I went to the place you had told me, Charlotte said that he didn’t know you at all and didn’t accept
to treat me. Nicole, is it fun for you to tease me?”
“Impossible! Charlotte and I have been friends for five years. How could he not know me?”
Nicole felt that Viola must have been to the wrong place.
“Well, you're still pretending until now. I didn’t tell before. You're a fate fake”
Viola‘s words were very unpleasant to hear. Samuel couldn't hold back his temper.
“Your face is your own business. Nicole introduced you to the doctor out of kindness. No matter what
the result is, you
shouldn't come here to mess around”
Hearing Samuel speak for Nicole, Viola turned to look at Samuel and said, “You really want to protect
her. Why do you like
such a big fat fake? Her appearance?
Listen, if my face can be treated well, I will be much prettier than her. Also, I have taken a fancy to you.
My name is Viola.
From now on, I will pursue you!”
