Nicole saw Samuel's slightly frowned expression and heard the sound of car engines outside.
She whispered, "I'll go out and take a look."
"No, just eat."
Right now, Samuel thought nothing was more important than his wife eating.
As he spoke, he added some dishes to Nicole's bowl.
The servants who had been hiding for a long time also came out, especially Petty. She went out to
look, and then walked in with a smile.
"Samuel, madam, it's Mr. Green and Miss Green."
Nicole didn't understand Petty at once.
"Who?"
However, Samuel understood and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Why are they here? Send them back."
Samuel could finally have some quality time with Nicole. He didn't expect his children to join in the fun,
so how could he be happy?
Nicole finally understood who had come, and she was happy immediately.
"Are you saying that Lucas and Zoe are here?"
"Yes!"
"I'll check it out!"
Nicole hurriedly got up, but Samuel grabbed her arm.
"What are you doing? Didn't you hear your son and daughter have come? I'm going to see them."
Nicole was somewhat puzzled by Samuel's reaction.
Samuel said with a dark face, "They are old enough to come back by themselves. You can sit and eat."
"I want to..."
"What do you want? Think about how you walk now."
That made Nicole blush.
"What are you talking about?"
She glanced at Petty who immediately retreated with a tactful smile.
Nicole was a little depressed.
"Samuel, don't talk about this again in front of others."
"Am I not telling the truth? Can you go out and take a look now?"
Samuel said indifferently. His expression made people want to punch him. It was hateful.
However, Nicole also knew that Samuel was right. She couldn't really limp out, could she? How did she
explain to the kids?
Finally, Nicole sat down and waited anxiously for the children to come in.
After getting off the car, Lucas and Zoe came in.
"Daddy, Mommy! Lucas and I are here to see you!"
Zoe's sweet voice sounded. Nicole really could not sit still.
At this moment, Nicole suddenly heard Laurel's voice.
"Zoe, don't run so fast. Slow down."
Nicole was no longer calm, and Samuel frowned again.
Not only did their children come, but also his mother came.
Nicole was about to stand up and go out to greet them. Samuel quickly stopped her, and then he got up
and went out himself.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Samuel instantly attracted Zoe's attention.
"Daddy!"
Zoe quickly pounced towards Samuel.
Samuel hurriedly picked up Zoe.
After recovering from her illness, Zoe put on some weight. She seemed to be on the verge of becoming
a fat girl.
"Daddy, I miss you so much! Where is Mommy? I want to see Mommy!"
Zoe did not see Nicole during this period. She really missed Nicole.
Hearing Zoe shouting like this, Nicole couldn't sit still anymore. She hurriedly stood up. Although her
legs were a little sore, she still smiled and said, "Mom, good evening."
How experienced Laurel was!
Naturally, she could tell at a glance that Nicole was uncomfortable. Laurel couldn't help but stare at
Samuel with a hint of reproach.
Samuel coughed embarrassedly and saw Laurel hurriedly go forward and hold Nicole's hand, "Don't
move if you are uncomfortable. I've heard that you have a cold and are sore all over. How is it? Do you
feel better?"
These words caused Lucas' footsteps to pause in time. Then, he asked worriedly, "Mommy, are you
sick? How is it now?"
Nicole knew that Laurel was covering for her. Her face instantly turned a little red from embarrassment.
When she looked at her son's innocent and worried eyes, Nicole immediately felt embarrassed.
"I'm okay. Don't worry."
"I'll get Mommy a cup of hot water. Mommy, sit down quickly."
Lucas hurriedly turned around and ran towards the living room outside.
"Is Mommy sick? Did you see a doctor? Did you take any medicine?"
Zoe also became nervous.
Nicole was so embarrassed, but she still smiled and said, "I'm fine. Mommy just needs to rest for a
while."
"Daddy, you can't make Mommy angry, okay?"
Zoe instructed Samuel like an adult.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our princess is right about everything."
Samuel could do nothing but smile and carry Zoe to the dining table.
"Mom, have you had dinner? Let's eat together."
Looked at the time, Samuel didn't know if Laurel had dinner or not, so he could only ask.
Lucas had already handed the hot water to Nicole and asked worriedly, "Mommy, do you need some
medicine?"
"Not for the time being."
Nicole was so embarrassed!
If she knew that her son and daughter would come back today, she would not sleep with Samuel no
matter what. Furthermore, they were so unrestrained.
In order to change the subject, Laurel smiled and said, "We haven't eaten yet. Do you mind us coming
over to have a meal?"
"Of course."
Nicole hurriedly answered and asked Petty to prepare the tableware.
Samuel wanted to sit with Nicole, but Lucas took his seat.
"Daddy, you could be with Zoe. She has missed you recently."
Lucas arranged Samuel to sit with Zoe with a single sentence.
Zoe hurriedly nodded when Lucas said this.
"Daddy, I miss you so much. It's been a long time since you went back to play with me. Last time, you
slept in the same room with Lucas. Why didn't you sleep with me?"
Hearing this, Samuel almost spit out the food in his mouth and Lucas curled his lips.
However, Nicole asked doubtfully, "Your daddy slept with Lucas? When?"
Nicole felt surprised.
Of course, Samuel loved Lucas. However, Samuel always said that they couldn't pamper Lucas.
Therefore, they had nurtured Lucas' independence since childhood and had let the children sleep in
separate rooms.
Lucas didn't like sleeping with others, either.
Nicole was simply surprised that they slept together.
"Forget it. Let's have dinner."
Samuel wanted to change the subject, but Lucas didn't agree. Lucas sneered and said, "I don't know
what happened to Samuel that day. He suddenly ran into my room and said that I was afraid, so he
insisted on sleeping with me."
Hearing this, Samuel curled his lips. He hurriedly picked up a piece of chicken and gave it to Lucas.
"Hurry up and eat. Don't speak while eating or sleeping."
"I didn't mention it first. Zoe talked about it. Besides, I'm not lying."
Lucas slowly ate the chicken nuggets and retorted indifferently. Samuel was lost for words again.
'This brat definitely did it on purpose!'
Laurel smiled happily and contentedly.
"Alright, alright, let's eat. We'll talk about this after dinner."
As Laurel spoke, Lucas and Zoe naturally did not speak. They politely sat at the dining table and began
to eat.
Nicole looked at the families in front of her and was suddenly touched.
"Mom, you should eat more."
"Okay, you should eat more, too. You have to pay attention to your health. Don't let this brat bully you
all the time."
Laurel caused Samuel to pause again by saying that.
"Mom, who is your biological child?"
"Hurry up and eat."
Laurel ignored Samuel's gazes and complaint. Instead, she asked the servant to add some chicken
soup to Nicole and whispered, "Women should take good care of their health. Although it has been
more than a month, you have to be careful about many things. Now don't mind anything but your own
health. I asked for a prescription from a famous doctor that specializes in nursing women. I'll give the
prescription to Wendy later. Take it every day, okay?"
"Prescription? Mom, it can't be a folk prescription, right?"
When Samuel remembered the prescription that Ms. Bush had prepared for him, his hair stood on end.
Laurel glared at him and said, "Of course, I went to a regular hospital to ask for it. What are you
thinking?"
"That's good."
Only then did Samuel feel relieved.
Lucas quietly helped Nicole with the food. Not long after, Nicole's bowl looked like a small hill.
Nicole could do nothing but look at her son's caring behaviors and smile, "Lucas, I can't eat so much."
"Our teacher said that eating more is good for your health. Mommy, you should eat more. Look at Zoe.
She eats so much now."
As Lucas finished speaking, everyone stared at Zoe.
Zoe was gnawing on the big chicken leg in her left hand and drinking from the soup bowl in her right
hand. Just a few minutes, her small mouth was greasy. Looking at her actions, Nicole wanted to eat
more, too.
Nicole had never seen Zoe eat like this before, so she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Zoe, eat slowly."
"It's okay. I'm fine."
Zoe said as she ate, as if she had been hungry for a long time.
Laurel smiled and said, "It's a blessing to be able to eat. At the beginning, I was also worried about her.
I took her to the hospital. The doctor said that Zoe's digestive system was not good before. Thus, she
could not eat much. Now that she was recovering well, she needed more nutrition and she could digest
the food well. As long as she didn't overeat, she would be fine. Zoe has a good appetite these days,
and she becomes much stronger. The doctor says that she has recovered very well. "
Nicole felt relieved.
"Then eat slowly. Girls should be graceful."
After all, Zoe was her own daughter. Nicole was more subtle.
However, Lucas shook his head and said, "With such table manners, will you be able to marry in the
future?"
"It's none of your business. Or if I can't get married, I'll eat until you are broke!"
Zoe retorted to Lucas. Her greasy little mouth and unyielding declaration instantly made the entire
family laugh.
However, Lucas said disdainfully, "I can't afford to raise you. You'd better ask daddy for help."
"No, I'll stay with you. If I cannot get married, you cannot get married either! Anyway, I'll be with you."
Zoe said very roguishly. Not only that, she abruptly extended her greasy little hand towards Lucas.
