Hearing Xander's laughter, Audrey and Samuel walked out and couldn't help but ask when they saw
Nicole's surprised expression, "What are you talking about so happily?"
Only then did Xander stop laughing. However, there was a trace of gentleness in his eyes. He got up
and took the apron from Audrey, and then said with a smile, "Sit down and rest for a while. Let me do
anything else."
"It's fine. Samuel helped me with the dinner. I'm not tired."
Xander's consideration delighted Audrey.
Seeing that her parents were so loving, Nicole felt quite comforted.
Samuel handed the orange juice to Nicole and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about so
happily?"
"Just forget it. I'm so embarrassed."
Nicole was speechless as she leaned against Samuel's arms and whispered in his ear, "I asked Dad if
he was a robot."
Samuel paused slightly and couldn't help but laugh. However, seeing his wife's annoyed gaze, he
stopped and asked, "So he was?"
"I don't know. Dad asked me to find out where the switch is. I didn't dare. I think I'm so stupid."
"It's fine. I don't care."
Nicole was shy because of Samuel's words. She punched him.
"Shut up, you're not allowed to speak anymore."
Samuel smiled. He felt that this kind of day was good. If there wasn't a lot of work, he hoped to live
here with Nicole.
Seeing Nicole was so happy, Audrey felt relieved.
"Well, what were you guys talking about just now?"
Audrey was curious. Xander and Nicole had never seen each other. Although they were related by
blood, they were still unfamiliar. However, they laughed loudly.
Nicole was afraid that Xander would say something about the robot. She said, "We were talking about
the trend of robots, right?"
She blinked at Xander, whose heart was about to melt.
Who could bear daughters' coquettish?
"Yeah, right, we were talking about robots."
Xander could not help but follow Nicole's words.
Audrey knew Xander and Nicole were on the same side. She would not be able to ask anything,
"Alright, I won't ask about your secret anymore. But can we have dinner now? Where's Lucas?"
"Lucas went upstairs. He may be playing with his phone or computer. I'll go get him."
While speaking, Nicole was about to go upstairs, but Samuel stopped her.
"I'll go. You are pregnant."
"Alright."
Nicole did not refuse.
Samuel knocked on the door. It was until Lucas agreed to come in that Samuel opened the door and
entered. Seeing that Lucas was writing a script, Samuel glanced at it and ask, "What are you
studying?"
"The team needs to develop a program. Although I'm no longer in the military compound, I should finish
it."
After Lucas finished the last script, he saved and sent it, then turned off the computer.
Samuel praised Lucas' persistence and then they went downstairs.
Nicole felt as if she was dreaming that she could have dinner with her parents. It was wonderful.
Xander was distressed.
"It was delicious. Eat more if you like."
"Alright."
Regardless of whether she liked or not, Nicole ate all the dishes that Xander picked up for her.
Lucas was quiet, but he observed Audrey and Xander. Audrey was fond of Lucas.
"Lucas, come to Grandma."
Audrey waved at Lucas.
Lucas intended to refuse. But seeing Audrey's desire, he came to Audrey. She held him in her arms.
Grandma's hug was different from Mommy's, but it was still warm.
Lucas sat obediently in Audrey's arms and frowned for a lot of dishes picked up by her, but he still ate
without saying anything.
The atmosphere was harmonious.
After dinner, Samuel prepared some fruits. They sat on the sofa and ate the fruits while chatting.
"Mom, are you planning to stay here with Dad forever? If Grandpa knew that you were still alive, he
would be happy. Besides, Uncle Elvis has also come back home. Dad, you can go back and visit him.
Auntie Sally is now free from Leo's control and is with Uncle Elvis."
Nicole couldn't wait to tell Audrey and Xander everything that had happened.
Hearing William's news, Xander paused slightly with distress.
"Uncle Elvis' treatment should still take some time. It won't be too late for us to meet after he recovers
completely. Furthermore, it's not suitable for us to meet now."
Nicole was stunned.
Audrey continued, "Yes, we know what happened outside, but now it isn't time to go out."
"Why?"
Nicole was confused, and Samuel also looked at them.
Xander whispered, "How did you get in?"
"I..."
Only then did Nicole recall why she had entered the Black Forest.
She had forgotten after meeting Audrey and Xander.
"We're here to look for our friend."
Thinking of Laurence, Nicole was worried.
Audrey touched Nicole's head and said, "Are you looking for Laurence, right?"
"Mom, you know him?"
Nicole was shocked. Thinking of Audrey and Xander living here and Laurence also being here before,
Nicole said worriedly, "Mom and Dad, Laurence is my friend. However, there is something wrong with
him and he is unconscious now. So please come out with me. I'll find another place where no one can
find you." It's too dangerous for you to be here."
Samuel was also worried.
"That's right. Mom and Dad, you should come out with us."
Xander looked at their worried gazes and shook his head. "We are here for reasons. The friend you are
looking for is also with us now. Don't worry, he's fine."
"Nothing wrong?"
Nicole and Samuel were stunned.
Was Laurence fine as they expected?
Looking at Nicole's and Samuel's puzzled gazes, Xander clapped his hands and then a girl walked in.
The girl looked familiar. When she walked in, Nicole was suddenly stunned.
"Karina? Why are you here?"
It was Karina!
Was Booth also here?
Karina was somewhat uncomfortable as Nicole looked at her doubtfully.
"I've always lived here. It was Mr. and Mrs. Don who saved me when the Kent's was in trouble. And
they taught me some skills to protect myself."
Karina's words reminded Nicole of the organization behind Karina.
In the past, Nicole had always been worried that the organization would hinder Karina and Booth from
being together. Nicole was even afraid that the organization would take advantage of Karina to deal
with her and Samuel. But the organization was her parents'?
Nicole was surprised.
"Mom..."
She looked at Audrey.
Audrey said with a smile, "I am your mother and I care about the people you care about. Since you
want to protect them, there is nothing wrong with your mother taking care of them for you when you are
incapable, right?"
"But why didn't you tell me?"
Nicole was touched.
Audrey whispered, "You and Samuel have always been troubled with all sorts of things. After
discussing, your father and I were willing to share your burden. As for the result, everyone will know
sooner or later."
"Thank you, Mom."
Samuel got it quickly and thanked Audrey.
Audrey nodded and said to Karina, "Call Laurence and Davon over."
Nicole was shocked again by Audrey's words and she stood up.
"Davon is still alive?"
Everyone outside thought that Davon was dead, and even Phoenix almost went crazy because of his
death. It was unexpected that Davon would be here.
Xander frowned worriedly. He coughed, "Nicole, be careful of your belly. Don't be too excited. If you
can't calm down, your mother and I won't tell you anything else."
"No, please tell me everything. I have too many questions now."
Nicole sat down again and was assured that she would keep calm. Samuel couldn't help but laugh.
He thought of Zoe, who sometimes resembled Nicole.
Karina nodded and retreated.
Lucas had been watching with silence, but he found that the security system here was subtle. He tried
to crack it, but it was difficult.
This was interesting.
After a while, Karina brought Laurence and Davon in.
While seeing Davon, Nicole's eyes became wet and she pounced on him.
"Davon!"
A figure suddenly rushed over. Although Davon couldn't see who that was, he was slightly stunned by
the familiar voice. Then, he quickly caught Nicole.
"My dear, do you know that you are pregnant?"
Davon was frightened. But he felt very happy when seeing Samuel's dark face.
Nicole punched Davon and choked, "Do you remember that I'm pregnant? So why did you pretend you
were dead? Do you know that Phoenix almost went crazy because of you? Even if you don't give me
any news, you should at least let Phoenix know you are alive. You scum."
Nicole became angrier. She stepped fiercely on the back of Davon's foot.
