Apparently, Nicole also noticed that.
"Samuel, they might be in danger if they get off the car. We..."
"Don't worry! Zoe and Lucas are allergic to mango. Have you forgotten?"
Nicole was stunned by what Samuel said.
She had been worried about the safety of the children and didn't even see what kind of fruit had being
sold. Now Samuel's words reminded her. She looked at Samuel in surprise and asked, "Are you saying
that Zoe did it on purpose?"
"Zoe is a smart girl. Let's wait and see. I'll send someone to protect them."
Samuel smiled faintly. His face beamed with pride.
Nicole's heart skipped a beat.
"Isn't Zoe too bold? Samuel, don't pamper her behind my back. Look at her. She clearly knows that
there is danger, but she still rushes forward. If we are not by her side..."
"You're overthinking it. If we weren't around, Zoe wouldn't have acted like this. Calm down,
sweetheart."
Samuel stroked Nicole's head as if he was grooming a pet. Nicole didn't know what to say.
Joseph finally remembered something after getting off the car.
"Zoe, aren't you and Lucas allergic to mango? Why..."
"I want to buy some for Mommy. Mommy likes mango. The fruit here are ripe and more delicious than
the medium ripe ones we bought in the Seapolis City, right? Mommy doesn't eat mango much now
because of us."
Zoe's words made Joseph feel a little abashed.
He really didn't notice that Nicole hadn't eaten mango for a long time.
Zoe was really observant.
"Then let me pick, in case you become allergic again."
Joseph volunteered.
"Alright."
Zoe did not refuse.
The two of them came up to the peddler. The peddler was slightly astonished at their good-looking
faces. He smiled and asked them, "Would you like some fruit? Where are your parents?"
"Can't you see our parents in the car behind us? We just come to buy some fruit. There's no need to
ask our parents to come. Uncle, don't you look down on children?"
Zoe blinked her big eyes. Her sweet and soft voice made people feel very comfortable. Even if she had
said that, it would not have made anyone angry.
"How could that be? What would you like?"
"Mangoes, those big ones. I want three. Are they Royal mangoes?"
Zoe pointed at the mangoes and asked seriously.
The peddler paused for a second. Then, he smiled and answered, "These are not Royal mangos. They
are Australia mangoes. They are also delicious. You can have a taste. If they are not yummy, I'll give
them to you for free."
The peddler was about to peel a mango but stopped by Joseph.
"Don't. My sister is allergic to mango."
The peddler was stunned again.
Someone allergic to mango still came to buy?
The peddler looked at Zoe thoughtfully.
Zoe smiled and said, "Uncle, I don't have to taste. I believe you. Wrap them up for me. Mommy will
definitely like them. Joseph, I don't have my wallet, do you have?"
"I left it in the car. You go back to get the wallet. I'll wait for you here."
Joseph did not dare to leave Zoe here alone, so he could only let Zoe go back to the car to get her
wallet.
Zoe nodded and walked towards the car door.
The bodyguards got out of the car and surrounded the peddler and Joseph. Even if the peddler wanted
to do something, he didn't dare to do now.
Zoe calmly walked over with her wallet.
"Uncle, how much are they?"
"Just give me five."
"So cheap? Joseph, look, I have told you that the fruit here are cheap. Am I right?"
Zoe smiled brightly, as if she had obtained great benefits. Joseph looked at her and could not help
laughing.
"Yes. You're right."
"Please also pick out some dragon fruit. I want to eat."
As Zoe spoke, she licked her lips. Her mouth almost watered, which made everyone laugh.
"Uncle, here you are, money for mangoes."
Zoe took five from her wallet and gave it to the peddler. When Joseph lowered his head to pick out
dragon fruit, Samuel and Nicole narrowed their eyes slightly.
Zoe and Joseph quickly bought a few dragon fruits and happily ran over to Samuel and Nicole.
"Mommy, I bought some mangoes for you. They are yummy. Have a taste."
Zoe did not dare to touch the mangoes. Joseph handed them to Nicole.
"They look delicious. Thank you, Zoe."
Nicole's heart was touched.
Zoe was really sweet and thoughtful.
At this moment, Samuel smiled and said, "Give me the note in your hand."
"What?"
Zoe's expression instantly changed.
"Daddy, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"You don't understand? Do you want me to catch that peddler and ask him?"
Hearing this, Joseph immediately became nervous.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Zoe?"
"Nothing happened. Joseph, don't be nervous."
Seeing Joseph worried about her, Zoe couldn't help but feel guilty.
Nicole sighed and shook her head but did not say anything. Obviously, Zoe could not keep lying in front
of Joseph.
Joseph seemed to have sensed something as he looked at Zoe in astonishment.
Being watched by family in this way, Zoe felt a little guilty and didn't know what to say.
Was it her luck or misfortune to have such shrewd parents?
"Nothing. It's just a road map."
Zoe muttered, unwillingly stretching out her hand.
In her small hand, there was a slip of paper.
Samuel brought it over directly.
Joseph looked at Zoe with a puzzled look, as if he didn't know her before.
Was she still his innocent little sister?
"Zoe, you..."
"Actually I didn't do anything. I was just helping Nash deliver a message."
Zoe was a little embarrassed by Joseph's gaze and hurriedly explained, "Nash is worried about his
Daddy. He asked me to help deliver a message and hoped that his Daddy could go home soon. It's no
big deal. Why are you looking at me in this way? It is my fault that I haven't told you, but I have
promised Nash that I wouldn't tell anyone. After all, this is the contact information of his family. It's not
good to let many people know."
Zoe's voice trailed off at the end.
Nicole looked at the map in Samuel's hand and frowned slightly, "This is a route to Médoc."
"So someone wasn't telling the entire truth when saying that going to Médoc was to eat delicious food."
What Samuel said made Zoe pout.
"Daddy, do you have to say that? Isn't my every move under your very nose? You're too scary. I haven't
said anything but you know what I'm doing. Are you a demon?"
"Zoe, how can you talk to Daddy like that?"
When Nicole heard that, she was instantly amused and hurriedly interrupted Zoe.
"If your Daddy is a demon, then what are you?"
"Little demon."
Samuel said with a smile. Zoe felt that she had been teased by her Daddy and Mommy, so she couldn't
help but feel a little frustrated.
"Daddy, can't you stop talking?"
"Get in the car. Leave all the contact tasks to me. I also hope that your Uncle Emory will come back as
soon as possible, so we have the same goal."
Samuel gave the order that could not be refused.
Joseph was the only one who didn't understand what was going on.
He sobbed.
Where was his cute little sister?
Who was this little demon in front of him?
Seeing Joseph's gloomy expression, Nicole said with pity, "Joseph, get in the car."
"Alright."
Joseph was somewhat depressed.
He wanted to use all his strength to protect Zoe, but he finally discovered that she was the strong one
and he was the weak one. This feeling was really not good.
Zoe also sensed Joseph's low spirits and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Joseph, don't be angry, I
didn't mean to."
"I'm not angry. I just feel I'm stupid."
"That's not true. Joseph, you're the best. We all need your help when we get injured or sick. You are
the angel. Without you, we could not go a step forward. Besides, the further we walk, the hotter it will
be. Many insects may appear. You have to protect us."
Zoe hugged Joseph's arm and said in a cute voice.
Only then did Joseph completely get to know Zoe.
This little girl looked carefree and innocent, but she understood everything. She had even studied the
conditions of Médoc in detail before she set out.
She knew that the further they walk, the hotter it will be, which meant that she had made up her mind to
come here from the very beginning.
Joseph shook his head. Although he was still a little shocked, he chose to be tolerant and continue to
dote on Zoe.
She was Joseph's little sister.
She was an evil little genius. So what?
She was still the cute little girl who liked to hug his arm.
"Well, let's reach an agreement first. When we get there, you should listen to me and you can't hide
anything from me anymore. Daddy is right. We are all worried about Uncle Emory and will help him. It's
not your own task. You are our little princess. What should we do if something unexpected happens to
you? If you agree, you'll be off the hook for deceiving me. If you don't agree, we'll go back right now."
Joseph's words left Zoe at a loss.
"If we go back right now, what about Uncle Emory?"
"That's his own business. Uncle Emory is an adult. He will definitely have his own way of dealing with
problems. He will not pin all his hopes on you, a child. So even if you don't fulfill the task, Uncle Emory
won't be in much danger. But you're different. If you go your own way, you will put yourself in danger,
which is something neither Daddy nor Mommy wants to see."
Hearing Joseph's words, Nicole was a little surprised, but then she felt gratified in an instant.
Joseph's way of thinking was much more mature than Zoe's.
Although Zoe knew how to survive, she was still too naive. With Joseph by Zoe's side, Nicole felt
relieved.
Just then, Samuel's phone rang.
He took the phone out. His eyes narrowed slightly. And then he answered the video call in front of
everyone.
