Lucas frowned slightly.
Nicole finally sleeps peacefully. He didn't want Mommy to be woken up by her phone.
He hurriedly picked up the phone and wanted to mute it, but he recognized the number at once. It was
from the Don family.
Lucas certainly knew about the Don family. Seeing they were still harassing Mommy, Lucas’ brow
furrowed even deeper.
He took the phone and crept to the bathroom. Then, he answered it and Viola's voice came from the
other side immediately,
"Nicole. If you don't want your daughter to die, you'd better listen to me. I'll wait for you in Nancy Park
at 1030 in the morning. Do not bring anyone with you. You must come alone. If you're late, I can't
guarantee what will happen to your daughter."
After saying that, Viola hung up the phone.
Lucas’ expression immediately changed.
Zoe was in Viola's hands?
How could that be?
He quickly opened the door, only to find that it was locked from the inside.
Lucas did not have the habit of locking the door. Looking at Nicole who was still asleep on the bed, he
couldn't help but ponder.
Last time, Samuel came to sleep with him, and now Mommy also came to sleep with him. Could it be
that they were having some kind of spat?
Although Lucas was young, he was smart.
He opened the door and saw that Samuel looked a little haggard and tossed on the sofa in the living
room. He thought his guess was correct.
They were really having a spat!
...
Lucas sighed and walked up to Samuel. He looked him up and down. The disdainful gaze annoyed
Samuel a lot.
"I'm in a bad mood right now. You'd better leave me alone."
Samuel's voice was hoarse. It was obvious that he had not slept well all night. His beard had also
grown, but he didn't have the mood to take care of himself.
Lucas ignored Samuel's irritability and sat down beside him.
"Did you quarrel with Mommy?"
"Nonsense! Will I quarrel with your mommy?"
Samuel insisted stubbornly.
However, Lucas smiled and said, "Really?"
"No! Go and mind your own business!"
Samuel felt that he did not have any authority in front of this son. This brat was not afraid of him at all.
He missed the way Joseph called him daddy back then. He still had the authority and satisfaction of
being a daddy.
Seeing Samuel acting like this, Lucas coughed and said, "Alright, I'll go. But if Mommy ignores you
later, don't blame me for not helping you."
As he spoke, he wanted to get up, but was grabbed by Samuel.
"Is your mommy awake?"
He was somewhat nervous.
"Not yet. But she'll wake up eventually, won't she?"
Hearing what Lucas said, Samuel frowned tightly.
Yeah, she would wake up.
After Nicole had an entire night to think about it, he had no idea what she would do to him.
"Did your mommy say anything to you last night?"
"What do you want to ask me?"
Lucas looked at him with slanted eyes, similar to his. Now they were shining with wisdom.
"Forget it. You don't understand."
Samuel let go of Lucas and became even more irritated.
Seeing him like this, Lucas whispered, "I don't understand why you adults will quarrel with each other,
but Mommy treats you well. You must have done something to make her unhappy, right? It has
something to do with Zoe?"
"What can you possibly know? You are just a kid."
Samuel sighed. He felt his IQ had declined, talking about it to a kid this age. But he had no one to talk
to. All of his annoyance stuck in his heart.
"There's a lot that I don't know. But I do know that someone is threatening Mommy and using Zoe as a
bait. So, Samuel, where did you take Zoe?"
Hearing Lucas’ words, Samuel suddenly paused.
"What did you say?"
"Just listen."
Lucas already recorded the call. Now he replayed it to Samuel, whose brow furrowed even deeper.
He immediately called Jacob.
"Where's Zoe?"
"Miss Zoe is still resting. What's wrong?"
Jacob was dumbfounded by Samuel's question. He looked at Zoe who was still sleeping beside him
and couldn't help but ask.
"Take a picture for me. No! Bring Zoe over directly!"
Samuel started to become uneasy.
Hearing Samuel's words, Jacob hurriedly woke Zoe up.
"What's the matter?"
Zoe rubbed her big sleepy eyes and yawned as she looked at Jacob.
Jacob smiled and said, "Zoe, be good. Shall we go find Mommy and Daddy?"
"But I haven't eaten breakfast yet. You promised to take me to eat pineapple buns this morning."
Zoe did not know how long she had worried Nicole, nor did she know how much trouble she had
caused. Now, her mind was full of food.
Jacob smiled and said, "Alright, I'll buy you pineapple buns when I see Daddy and Mommy, okay?
Mommy misses you now."
"Alright, but we need to make a pinky swear so that you can’t' lie to me!"
In order to eat the food she liked, Zoe was really serious.
Jacob looked at Zoe's extended pinky and couldn't help but laugh. If only he had such a daughter.
He couldn't help but think of Olivia.
If he could have a daughter with Olivia, she would definitely be very beautiful.
Zoe looked at Jacob's absent-minded smile and said somewhat unhappily, "Uncle Jacob, are you
thinking about something bad? Why are you smiling.... Well... what was the word?"
"What word?"
"It means that it's especially bad."
Zoe couldn't think of that adjective, and her brows almost furrowed together.
Seeing that she was so cute, Jacob smiled and said, "Alright. Whatever the word is, let's go home first."
As he spoke, he picked up Zoe and walked out.
Not long after getting on the car, Zoe suddenly slapped her seat and said, "I remember, it's smutty.
You're smiling so smuttily!"
Jacob suddenly braked and his chest almost hit the steering wheel.
"Miss Zoe, who taught you this word?"
"Lucas. He said that Daddy always looked at Mommy and smiled smuttily. Uncle Jacob. Besides being
bad, what other meanings does smutty have? Why don't I think Daddy was bad when he looked at
Mommy?"
Facing Zoe's innocent eyes and thinking about her question, Jacob didn’t know what to say.
How could he explain it?
"You'll know when you grow up. However, Lucas used the wrong word. Miss Zoe, don't say it anymore."
"Why?"
Zoe was like a curious baby, and she kept asking.
Jacob's forehead was dripping with sweat.
"Well, you can ask your Daddy this question. I have don't know as much as he does and can't explain
it."
"Uncle Jacob, you're so lousy!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Jacob could only acknowledge that his double master's degrees were useless in front her.
They quickly arrived at the Green’s.
When Samuel saw Zoe, he finally relieved.
"Nothing happened, right?"
"No."
Jacob handed Zoe to Samuel.
"Lucas, Uncle Jacob said that you used the wrong word. You are not allowed to say that Daddy saw
Mommy and smiled so smuttily in the future, understand?"
Zoe gave Lucas a big lesson, as if she suddenly found a place where she could defeat Lucas. She
seemed to be proud of herself, not knowing that her words made the corner of Samuel's mouth twitch.
"Am I smutty?"
Samuel looked directly at Lucas.
Lucas hurriedly said, "Well, I'll go back to my room to see if Mommy is awake."
"Wait a moment!"
Samuel grabbed his collar.
However, Lucas was too small to get rid of Samuel.
"Let go of me! Samuel, you can't burn bridges like that! I helped you just now!"
"I don't think so."
Samuel did not listen to Lucas’ explanation at all.
Seeing that Lucas was controlled by Samuel, Zoe smiled and said, "Lucas, you and Daddy go on
talking. I'll go up and see Mommy!"
"Zoe, you traitor!"
Lucas never thought that he would one day be sold by his own younger sister, and it seemed that she
definitely did it on purpose!
Zoe naughtily stuck out her tongue at him and said to Jacob, "Uncle Jacob, my pineapple buns, don't
forget."
"Alright, I'll go buy it!"
Jacob hurriedly answered.
Zoe looked at Samuel contentedly and said, "Daddy, I won't disturb you and Lucas. I'll go find Mommy."
"Alright, slow down. Mommy isn't awake yet. Be quiet."
"I see."
Zoe jumped and ran upstairs, completely ignoring Lucas’ fate.
"Zoe, I will remember this!"
Lucas struggled, but was directly dragged into the study by Samuel.
Jacob went to buy food for Zoe.
After Zoe went up to the second floor, she suddenly slowed down.
She remembered what Samuel said. Nicole was not awake yet.
She gently opened the door and walked in.
Nicole was still asleep.
When Zoe went over, she was afraid that she would wake Nicole up.
She sat down beside Nicole and looked at her sleeping face. She felt that Mommy looked really good.
No wonder daddy liked mommy so much.
She wondered if she would look as good as Mommy when she grew up.
Zoe supported her chin with both hands and looked at Nicole like that. She felt a little tired, so she took
off her shoes and went to bed. She gently lifted Nicole's blanket and got under it.
Nicole only felt that there was a furry little head in her arms.
She thought it was Lucas and couldn't help but smile. Then, she opened her eyes and saw an enlarged
face appear in front of her.
The skin on the face was tender with a trace of scarlet. The beautiful big eyes blinked the moment she
saw Nicole open her eyes. Then she said, "Mommy, I was very careful. I didn't want to wake you up! I
was just a little cold, and I wanted to huddle with you to keep warm. Really!"
Zoe was so serious that she almost raised her hand and swore an oath.
Nicole was stunned.
Previously, she was still worried about Zoe's safety. She knew that she was hidden by Samuel.
Although she knew that Zoe would be fine, she still couldn't relieve. Now that she saw her daughter
right in front of her, Nicole excitedly hugged Zoe, and hot tears instantly surged in her eyes.
