"Fernanda, it's for you."
"Okay, I'm coming."
Fernanda looked at Nicole and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Nicole, I have to go pick up the phone. I'll have the
meal delivered as soon as possible."
"Alright."
"Don't forget my chicken drumsticks."
Zoe reminded seriously.
Nicole laughed.
"You little glutton."
"Joseph told me that food is the first necessity of the people. So, I don't feel ashamed that I like eat."
Zoe said seriously.
Then, Nicole did not say anything.
The meal quickly came up, and there was indeed an extra drumstick in it.
Nicole feels that Fernanda is really a promise-keeping person.
This was not her shop. She was just a shop assistant. Nicole was afraid that she had bought this extra
chicken drumstick out of her own pocket.
And Nicole decided to return the money to her later.
It wasn't easy for a little girl to work. She couldn't let Fernanda buy this.
Thinking of this, Alison brought Jaylen here.
Jaylen was no longer as arrogant as before. Now, she was concealing herself like a mummy. But she
still looked around with fear and finally came up to Nicole.
Nicole had no good impression of her, but for Zoe's sake, she still endured it.
"Mrs. Green, I'm sorry. It's my fault that I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me. You see, I'm in a
terrible situation now. No matter what I did before, could you please spare me?"
Jaylen was about to kneel as soon as she saw Nicole, but she was stopped by Alison.
She still wanted to kneel down with all her strength, but Alison kept her up with only one foot.
Nicole glanced around, and she found someone was taking photo secretly.
She sneered.
It seemed that Jaylen still hadn't learned her lesson. But it didn't matter. Nicole wasn't in a hurry.
"You seem to have said to the wrong person. Jaylen, I don't know what you did to my daughter. But my
daughter told me something. I don't know if these are real. So, could you tell us clearly what you did to
my daughter in front of us and apologize to her. Then, I won't hold you accountable."
Nicole said calmly.
Zoe stopped eating when Jaylen came. Although she did not move, nor did she show a frightened
expression, she sat there so quietly made Nicole feel heartache. How she wished she could kill Jaylen.
Jaylen was also a smart person, so she instantly understood what Nicole meant.
She hurriedly knelt down for Zoe. This time, Alison did not stop her.
Jaylen actually knelt down, and her kneecap hurt so much. But she could only endure it.
"Miss Zoe, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have stopped you from eating. I shouldn't have let you get up in the
middle of the night to paint. I shouldn't have scolded you. It's all my fault. I'm out of my mind to do such
cruel things to a child like you. I am sorry. Please forgive me."
Every time Jaylen spoke out one thing, Nicole holds her hand tighter. In the end, her fingernails broke
her palm, but she didn't feel the pain at all.
This woman was so vicious!
How dared she to let Zoe paint in the middle of the night, and didn't give her food.
No wonder Ashley said that Zoe lacked sleep.
Was her heart a stone?
How could she do that?
Nicole stared at Jaylen as if piercing her.
Zoe frowned and looked at Nicole, as if asked for help.
Nicole tried her best to suppress her anger and said to Zoe as calmly as possible, "Zoe, follow your
heart. Whether you decide to forgive her or not, I'll be fine."
Hearing this, Jaylen immediately grabbed Zoe's leg, but Zoe trembled imperceptibly.
"Don't touch her!"
Alison patted at Jaylen's hands hard.
Jaylen let go of her hands and cried, "Miss Zoe, it's all my fault. Please forgive me. Think about it, I've
also taught you a lot of painting techniques, right? Yes, I'm a little harsh on you, but my motives are
good. I'm doing so for your good."
Nicole had let Jaylen to apologize today. But she didn't expect Jaylen was so shameless to turn the
truths upside down.
Nicole stood up angrily, but she heard Zoe speak.
"I know your intentions. After all, strict teachers make good disciples. So, I can understand your
intentions, but I still won't accept your apology."
Jaylen and Nicole were both shocked.
No one expected Zoe to say so, especially Nicole.
Zoe gave her the impression that she was always a foodie, a very happy one. As long as she had food,
everything would be fine. She was adorable, making people think that she was very cute and innocent.
And even Nicole missed one thing.
That was, Zoe was Samuel's daughter.
Lucas was surprisingly clever. How could Zoe be a mediocrity?
Seeing her daughter pretending to be calm and unhurried, Nicole felt Zoe was like her dad.
Tears welled up in Nicole's eyes.
This was her daughter.
How adorable she was.
Jaylen was surprised that a four-year-old child could actually say such a clear and logical sentence. But
what did she say?
She didn't accept her apology?
How dare Zoe to refuse her apology!
Jaylen's expression changed rapidly.
Zoe took a sip of the drink and said, "Not everyone will be forgiven for their mistakes. Ms. Jaylen, I
can't sleep at night now, you know? How can you remedy the harm you've done to me through a simple
apology?"
"Then, what do you want?"
Jaylen frowned. She started to become impatient.
Zoe took out her phone and said plainly, "I have recorded what you just said. I will let the police talk to
you!"
"No! You can't do this!"
Jaylen wanted to snatch the phone from Zoe, but Alison was faster than her and kicked at her knees
fiercely.
She could only kneel down again. This time, her kneecap was about to crack, and she couldn't endure
it and cried out in pain.
However, Zoe did not care about this.
She put away her phone and hugged the bucket with both hands. She blinked cutely at Nicole and
said, "Mommy, can we go now? I want to go home."
"Yes, we can."
Only then did Nicole react.
She had intended to seek justice for her daughter, but she did not expect her daughter to act on her
own before she did anything.
Was that Zoe really her daughter?
Nicole was a little suspicious.
At this time, Zoe had already jumped down from the chair with the bucket in her arms. She walked in
front of Nicole and said, "Mommy, I don't have any hands to hold yours. Will you take me into the car?"
"Okay."
That was right.
This was the Zoe, who was a little dorky and adorable.
Nicole hurriedly picked up Zoe and said to Alison, "Deal with the follow-up-works."
"Alright, Mrs. Green. I'll be back soon."
Alison looked at Jaylen.
Seeing that they were leaving, Jaylen became anxious.
"Mrs. Green, you said that as long as I apologize, you would let me go."
"Yes, I won't hold you accountable. But I don't know if the police will let you go. With what you've done,
you should have committed the crime of abusing and hurting children, right?"
After saying that, Nicole left.
She couldn't let her daughter get influenced.
Zoe was so powerful just now.
She couldn't accept that the calm girl just now was her daughter.
"Mommy, do you want a chicken nugget?"
Zoe raised her head and asked. But she held the chicken nugget in her hand tightly, as if she did not
want to give it.
That was right!
This kind of Zoe was her daughter.
Nicole shook her head and said, "No, thank you. You can have it."
"Thank you, Mommy."
Zoe smiled at once.
Nicole carried her into the car. Seeing that Zoe was eating happily, Nicole was quite satisfied. However,
Zoe's calm and composed behaviors still left a deep impression on Nicole's mind.
When Alison returned, Zoe had already finished eating the whole Family bucket and even burped.
"Ms. Alison, you're too slow."
Alison was a little depressed at Zoe's words.
"Okay, I will be faster next time."
"Okay, let's go home. I miss Daddy."
Zoe was thinking about Samuel when she was full.
Nicole frowned slightly.
"Zoe, could you not stay with my husband all the time, okay?"
"I'll think about it, but it depends on Mommy's behaviors."
Zoe tilted her head and naughtily said to Nicole.
Nicole was shocked.
"What? Am I threatened by a child?"
Zoe giggled.
She finally smiled again.
Seeing her daughter laughing so happily, Nicole finally relieved.
When they returned home, Samuel had just arrived. Seeing they back together, he was a little
surprised.
"Where did you go?"
"It's a secret."
Nicole gave Zoe to Samuel and said in a huff, "Here, your beloved little princess."
With that, she entered the house.
Samuel looked at Zoe confusedly and asked, "Did you make Mommy angry?"
"No, I just said I miss Daddy."
Zoe rounded her hands around Samuel's neck and leaned on him.
"Daddy, I really, really miss you."
Samuel was so touched.
"Daddy misses you too. But don't talk to Mommy like this anymore, okay?"
"Why?"
"Because Mommy will be jealous."
Zoe was somewhat unhappy.
"But I will be jealous too. Daddy, don't you even consider my feelings?"
Samuel thought that Zoe was too cute. He smiled and said, "Zoe is a very nice and cute little princess.
In the future, you will definitely meet a Prince Charming who loves you as much as Daddy. At that time,
I'm afraid that you won't stay by my side even I ask."
"No. I will love you all my life."
Zoe hugged Samuel's neck and acted like a spoiled child.
Samuel dotingly carried her through the door, and only saw Nicole hurrying out. He stopped.
"Where are you going again?"
"Where are you going again?"
