Lucas could tell Samuel was in anxiety, but he deliberately said, "Actually, it's not getting dark outside. I
can sleep with Mommy for a while longer. Also, Zoe hasn't woken up yet."
Samuel's face immediately fell.
"Brat, did you do this on purpose?"
"You're right. I intentionally stayed with Mommy. She is not your personal belonging after all. Why don't
you allow us to spend more time with her?"
Hearing this, Samuel didn't know how to respond.
"Anyway, hurry up and leave. She is my wife."
"She is also my mother!"
Lucas was right, and Samuel was rendered speechless.
He suddenly felt that Lucas was born to be against him. After thinking for a while, he said, "Grandma
has been waiting downstairs for a long time. Don't you feel sorry for her?"
Speaking of Laurel, Lucas fell silent for a moment.
His grandmother was indeed nice to them. Today, it was she who brought them to visit Mommy. If they
expected Samuel to bring them to Nicole, they would have to wait a long time.
Thinking of this, Lucas looked at Samuel with disdain and said, "You stingy man. How could you be
even jealous of your own children?"
Samuel did not expect Lucas to say this. After being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously said,
"It's none of your business."
Lucas snorted.
He got up and decided not to argue with his father who was even more childish than him.
He kissed Nicole on the cheek. After turning around, he saw Samuel's lips twitching. If he weren't his
son, he would have grabbed him by the collar and thrown him out.
It had been a long time since Lucas last saw Samuel's gloomy expression. He couldn't help but feel a
little happy.
"I love Mommy the most! I heard that we should kiss the lips of our favorite people."
Lucas leaned down as he spoke, but he suddenly felt that his collar was being grabbed by someone.
Turning around, he saw Samuel's face which was as black as thunder.
"Lucas, that's enough! Don't you dare kiss my woman!"
"She is my mum!"
"Even so, you can't kiss her lips! I can only allow you to kiss her cheek! Believe it or not, I'll throw you
out from the second floor if you do that!"
Samuel knew that Lucas was doing it on purpose, but he could not help being jealous.
This brat had indeed gone too far!
How dare Lucas kiss Nicole's lips in front of him?
Did Lucas think that he didn't have the heart to beat him up?
Hearing this, Lucas just said with a smile, "I dare you. If you throw me down from the second floor,
Mommy will hate you. After all, she cherishes me the most since I am her son."
"You..."
Having no idea how to refute Lucas, Samuel angrily grabbed his collar and pulled him out of bed.
"Angry men are always so rude!"
Fearless of Samuel's threat, Lucas continued to provoke him.
Samuel kept telling himself not to argue with Lucas. Seeing Samuel gritting his teeth to suppress his
anger, Lucas felt so good.
Samuel pulled Lucas out of the room with great difficulty and handed him to Jacob who was waiting
outside. Without taking another look at him, Samuel picked up Zoe who was still asleep.
Having no idea that she was away from the bed, Zoe subconsciously found a comfortable place in
Samuel's embrace. Slobbering from time to time, she slept rather soundly.
She slightly moved in Samuel's arms. Her body was as soft as a feather, which made Samuel's heart
grow softer.
Sure enough, his daughter was his lover in the previous life.
Samuel looked at Zoe dotingly, and he was somewhat reluctant to see her leave.
Seeing Samuel's tender look, Jacob couldn't help saying with a smile, "Mr. Green, if you can't bear to
part with her, how about asking her to stay in the villa for a few days?"
"Forget it. She'd better follow my mother back. She is such a cute girl, and my mother will adore her.
Also, I haven't solved the matters in the villa yet, so it's inappropriate for them to stay here."
Although he was reluctant to say goodbye to Zoe, Samuel eventually carried her downstairs.
Looking at Samuel's cautious behavior, Lucas whispered, "Don't be fooled by Zoe's sweet appearance.
She is a wicked girl."
"Anyway, she is better than you."
Feeling that Lucas was jealous of his sister, Samuel couldn't help showing greater fondness towards
Zoe.
"My daughter is the best girl. In contrast, an arrogant boy disobeys his elder every day."
Hearing Samuel's childish remark, Lucas said to Jacob, "I heard that the walnut is good for the brain."
"Yes. If you like it, I'll ask the servant to buy some for you."
Jacob thought it was Lucas who wanted to eat walnuts.
Lucas nodded and said, "Well, you should buy more for Mr. Green to improve his intelligence.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that he will no longer be the owner of his venture capital company. By then,
Mommy, sister and I will have to rely on grandma to make a living."
With that, he sighed as if his assumption was about to come true.
Samuel's mouth quirked up again.
This brat seized every opportunity to mock him!
"Lucas, aren't you afraid I will hit you?"
"You have no other means instead of using violence against me."
Lucas was not afraid of Samuel's threat at all. When they were about to be downstairs, he suddenly
said to Laurel with a smile, "Grandma, Daddy said that he would send us off later."
"When did I say..."
Before Samuel could finish his words, he stopped in time.
He realized that he was almost fooled by Lucas.
Looking at Samuel in confusion, Laurel asked, "What did you say just now?"
"Forget it. Since Zoe is still asleep, I think I'd better send you back so that she won't wake up later and
make a scene."
Samuel quickly changed his mind.
"Hypocrite," Lucas whispered.
Although his voice was low, Samuel could hear what he said. He flew into a rage and wanted to teach
Lucas a lesson right now!
He kept telling himself not to be angry with Lucas. After all, as a prominent person in the Seapolis City,
he would disgrace himself if he had a conflict with his own son!
However, seeing Lucas’ disdainful look, Samuel found it hard to calm down.
Laurel did not seem to notice that Lucas was in conflict with his father. She whispered, "Is Nicole
awake?"
"Not yet."
Ever since Nicole's miscarriage, she had been in poor health. After she fell asleep, it was hard for her
to be woken up by any sound, unless she had got enough sleep.
If it were in the past, she would surely wake up when her children left her side. However, after being
kissed by Lucas on the cheek today, she still slept soundly. This made Samuel feel a little sullen.
According to the doctor, Nicole was suffering from anemia, and her full recovery would take plenty of
time.
Seeing Samuel in distress and loneliness, Laurel said with a sigh, "Don't worry too much about Nicole,
for she will slowly recover. Also, restrain your behavior and don't exhaust her too much. The
miscarriage has caused great damage to Nicole's body. Feeding her nutritious food is not enough, and
she'd better have good recuperation. However, she is bothered by so many troublesome things right
now. You have to handle them quickly so that she can rest assured without anxiety."
"I know, Mom. I'll take care of those matters as quickly as possible."
Samuel nodded.
Laurel turned to Jacob and said, "Carry Zoe into the car. I will ask Jacob to send us off. You should stay
here with Nicole, for you're the one she trusts the most, and your company is of great importance to
her. Just rest assured to leave the rest to us."
Samuel nodded and looked at Zoe lingeringly before handing her over to Jacob.
"Slow down. This girl isn't in good health either."
Seeing Samuel's cautious behavior, Jacob became a little afraid to hold Zoe.
"Mr. Green, would you like to send her to the car in person?"
"OK!"
Jacob just tried to tease him by saying this, but Samuel failed to understand his true intention. Instead,
he directly walked out the door with Zoe in her arms.
Jacob couldn't believe what he had seen.
Besides Nicole, Zoe might also be the apple of Samuel's eye.
Glancing at Lucas, he thought this little fellow would be jealous. To his surprise, Lucas came to Laurel's
side with a calm look and whispered, "Grandma, let's go too. Mommy is tired and needs rest. I'll help
you to get in the car."
"Alright. Let's go home!"
Lucas was such a thoughtful and sensitive boy. Thinking of this, Laurel looked at him with a grin.
After Lucas and Laurel left the villa, Samuel was already waiting outside. Being afraid that Zoe would
catch a cold due to the strong wind, he took off his coat and wrapped it around Zoe. He didn't care if his
handmade Italian suit would be wrinkled or not.
After Laurel got in the car, Lucas also got in. Only then did Samuel hand Zoe over to Laurel.
"She's still asleep. Is it okay?"
Samuel was somewhat worried.
"Don't worry. I'm with her."
Laurel smiled and exchanged a tacit glance with Samuel. Then, she held Zoe in her arms.
Seeing Samuel's worried expression, Lucas whispered, "Don't worry. I will take good care of your little
lover. Remember to pay me later."
"Zoe is your sister! Brat, what's exactly on your mind?"
Thanks to Lucas, Samuel didn’t suffer from missing Zoe that much any longer.
Lucas was always against him. He really needed to teach his son a lesson one day! However, seeing
that they were leaving, Samuel still felt a little distressed.
"Mom, please take care of them for the time being. When this matter is settled, I'll bring them back."
"Got it. You can go back now, or else Nicole will be alone after waking up."
With that, Laurel asked Jacob to drive away.
Samuel returned to the villa. Nicole was still sleeping. Feeling sorry for her, he went to bed and held
Nicole in his arms.
Nicole subconsciously found a comfortable place to lean over. At first, she slept well. However, she
suddenly seemed to have noticed something. Looking up, she saw Samuel's face appear in front of
her.
Pushing Samuel away, she looked around and asked, "Where are the children?"
Samuel was hurt by her actions.
"Darling, why did you treat me like this?"
Seeing Samuel's aggrieved look, Nicole still remained calm. Recently, he always pretended to be
wronged, so as to attract her attention and change the topic. Nicole asked again, "Where are the
children?"
Seeing that Nicole was indeed anxious, Samuel said, "It's getting dark. Mom has brought them home. If
you miss them, I'll send them over in a few days."
Nicole felt a little depressed by what Samuel said
"When did they leave? Why didn't you wake me up? And how could I fall into such a deep sleep without
noticing my children's leaving?"
While saying this, she wore a sad look.
Samuel wanted to comfort her, but the landline suddenly rang. The crisp and loud sound startled them.
For some reason, Nicole instantly felt a little uneasy.
