"Who?"
Nicole quickly ran over and saw a little boy standing up from the ground. It was obvious that he had
fallen from the wall above.
When he saw Nicole, he blushed with embarrassment.
"Miss, I'm sorry. I fell down carelessly."
The cute little boy was about seven or eight years old. If he hadn't worn boy's clothes, Nicole would
have thought he was a little girl.
"Why are you on our fence?"
"My house is next door."
The little boy explained.
Nicole did not know who was living next door to Edwin. Since the boy lived in the military compound, he
must be some army man's family
Nicole took a fancy of the little boy at first sight.
"What is your name?"
"My name is Nash Cawker."
Nash replied.
His surname was relatively rare in Seapolis City. Nicole did not figure out for the while who his parents
were. She smiled and said, "I'll walk you back through the main door."
"No need."
Nash hurriedly waved his hand.
A young girl's voice came from the other side of the wall.
"Nash, where have you gone? Did you climb over the wall to talk to Zoe again? Let me tell you. If you
don't come back, I'll tell Daddy and he will order you to stand at attention. He won't allow you to leave
the military!"
Nash pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Got it. I'll go back now. What a rat."
Nash replied reluctantly.
That girl didn't answer.
However, Nicole got a clue from the conversation between the siblings.
What?
Nash came here to look for Zoe.
What was going on?
How could Zoe find such a handsome boyfriend?
Nicole looked at Nash as if she were his mother-in-law.
Nash suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
"Miss, I'm leaving first!"
After that, he tried to climb the wall, but Nicole grabbed his collar and pulled him down.
"Exit via the door. A gentleman won't climb the wall."
"I promise I won't ever do it again."
Nash looked like a child who had done something wrong and hung his head in shame.
Nicole smiled, "Zoe went out to draw from life. Don't know that she isn't at home?"
Nash suddenly looked up.
"I've always been in the military area. I just came back for a day off today."
'So he is the same as Lucas.'
Nash was able to stay in the military region at such a young age. He must have high aspirations.
Nicole smiled, "When she comes back, I'll ask her to contact you, okay?"
"No need. I'll visit her if I have time."
Nash smiled faintly. Nicole liked to see his dimple.
Who was this cute boy's family?
He was so good-looking.
When he grew up, many women would fall in love with him.
Nicole involuntarily was attracted to him, and her tone became gentler.
"I'll take you back."
"Alright."
This time, Nash did not refuse.
Fortunately, there was no one around at noon. When Nicole took Nash out of the living room, Steve
was stunned.
"Mr. Nash?"
"You know him?"
Nicole looked at Steve.
Steve nodded and said, "He is Emory's son."
Nicole found that Emory's name sounded familiar. Emory seemed to be the head of the Four Young
Masters of Seapolis City and Samuel's friend. But she rarely saw him.
When she and Samuel got married, Samuel was busy and could not see her love for him. Naturally, he
would not bring her to his friends gathering. She stayed abroad for five years after she was persecuted.
After she returned home, series of accidents happened, so Samuel didn't contact them.
At present, among Samuel's friends, the person Nicole frequently saw was Blair and Steven. She did
not expect to meet Emory's son here today.
'How handsome Nash is.'
Nicole thought.
When Nash saw Steve, he immediately gave Steve a standard military salute.
"Hello, Steve!"
"Hello!"
Steve returned Nash a military salute.
Nicole's expression was somewhat different.
Steve was not an ordinary person. He had worked for Edwin for many years. Everyone respected him.
However, not only was he courteous to Nash, but he also saluted Nash. It could be seen that Nash
enjoyed a high status in the army.
Nash was just a seven-year-old child. Had he achieved such a feat?
Nicole pondered, but she did not show her surprise.
After sending Nash home, Nicole missed Lucas even more.
She loved her son a lot.
Just as she was thinking, Mark drove a military jeep over.
"Nicole, my dear niece!"
The moment Mark addressed Nicole, Nicole pursed her lips.
She hadn't been accustomed to having such a young uncle.
"I'll go in and greet Edwin."
Mark said as he was about to get off the car, but he was stopped by Nicole.
"Don't. My grandpa just fell asleep. Don't disturb him. Let's hurry up and leave. I miss my son so much."
Nicole grabbed Mark and got into the car.
Mark smiled faintly and then started the car.
Nicole had to admit that men appeared handsome in military uniforms.
That kind of handsomeness was not superficial. It carried a trace of reverence and glory.
She couldn't help but recall that Samuel was once a soldier, but she had never seen a picture of
Samuel in military uniform at home.
"Uncle Mark, can I ask you something."
"What is it?"
"Why isn't there a picture of Samuel in military uniform at home?"
Mark thought she was going to ask something serious. Hearing this, he answered with a smile, "There
is a rule in the military area that no military uniform photos are allowed to be circulated outside the
troops. So, you can't see it."
"Well, what a pity! I want to see Samuel in military uniform."
Nicole was somewhat disappointed.
Mark smiled, "On the wall of honor in the military, there are many Samuel's pictures in military uniform.
If you want to see them, you will get an eyeful. But you're not allowed to take pictures. That's the rule."
When Nicole heard this, she became excited.
"Can I really see it?"
"Of course."
"Awesome!"
Nicole did not expect that she would have such a pleasant surprise when she came to visit her son.
When the car entered the military area, it was stopped. When the guard found that it was Mark's car, he
gave Mark a military salute and said politely, "Mr. Mark, the outsiders need to be registered."
"Well, she is Lucas' mother. She comes to see her son."
Mark asked Nicole to take out her ID card for registration.
The car was released.
Nicole smiled, "Uncle Mark, it's not difficult to enter the military area."
"Try it by yourself. I bet you cannot come in."
Mark was proud of himself.
Nicole pursed her lips, not bothering with him. Thinking that she would see her son soon, she was
inexplicably excited.
The car was supposed to stop in the reception room, but Mark took Nicole to the wall of honor.
This place was specially designed to hold photographs of meritorious soldiers.
After Nicole got out of the car, playfulness was completely replaced by a kind of solemn respect.
After Mark got out of the car, he immediately adjusted his clothes. This was respect for heroes.
Nicole adjusted her clothes in a similar manner, but she suddenly felt that she had become very small
here.
After following Mark into the honor room, she was dazzled by the pictures of the soldiers on the wall.
But she saw Samuel's picture in the military uniform at a glance.
Nicole was attracted.
She had fantasized about the way Samuel wearing military uniform countless times, but it had never
made such a strong impact on her when she saw the picture.
She knew that Samuel was handsome.
However, Samuel, in the military uniform, was dignified and respectable.
He looked tanned at that time, but his eyes were bright, as if he could directly see people through.
In the green military uniform, he successfully caught Nicole's attention.
"This is Samuel?"
"Yes. He was very famous and outstanding in the military, but he chose to change professions. It
should be a suggestion from the superior. Samuel enjoys a high reputation in the military. If Lucas
doesn't want to be under the shadow of his father, he has a long way to go."
Mark felt a little sorry for Lucas.
Nicole whispered, "Like father like son. I believe my son will definitely be able to do it."
"Just look. You're not allowed to take pictures here."
Mark reminded Nicole repeatedly, so Nicole knew it, even though she was eager to take a picture and
admired it on her phone every day.
"Why is there such a rule?"
"For the sake of the soldiers."
Hearing Mark's explanation, Nicole gave up her thought.
They stayed in the honor room for a while, and then someone reported outside.
"Mr. Mark, Lucas has been taken to the reception room."
Hearing her son arrive at the reception room, Nicole hurriedly tugged at Mark's sleeve and said, "Let's
go and see my son."
"Don't you want to see your husband?"
"My husband's heroic image has already engraved on my heart."
Mark felt a little disgusted when he saw Nicole so infatuated with Samuel.
"You are more Mrs. Green now!"
"Uncle Mark, I pray that you will have a daughter."
Nicole retorted, but she had never thought that what she said would come true. Mark got a daughter
later and he spoiled her daughter a lot. Of course, it happened long after.
They walked out of the honor room and Nicole ran towards the reception room.
'Lucas!'
'Mommy's coming!'
Before Nicole reached the reception room, she heard Lucas' voice.
"This program isn't written like that! How many times have I told you? If the code is wrong, the rest will
be of no use. What are you thinking?"
Nicole stopped.
What?
Was Lucas lecturing someone others?
She walked gently to the living room and saw Lucas sitting on a chair in a small military uniform. With a
military laptop in his hand, he was talking to someone.
Lucas tightly knitted his brows with a serious expression. He had a dominating air, just like Samuel.
Nicole was stunned.
Why did she suddenly have a sad feeling that her son had grown up? But his son was still so young.
