Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1020

Samuel took a warm shower and lay down beside Nicole.

Nicole had a good sleep and didn't get up until 11 am. Perhaps it was because she felt relieved at Samuel's return, or because she was too tired.

Looking at the clock, Nicole thought that her eyes were deceiving herself, or that the clock was broken.

The hunger forced her to get up.

On the bedside table were loose-fitting pajamas, and there was a pair of thick slippers on the ground.

Was Samuel serious? He treated her as a woman who needed to be babysitted.

Unwilling though, Nicole put on the slippers and went downstairs.

"Mommy, you finally get up! You sleepyhead!"

Zoe sat on the sofa and played with the toys that Samuel had bought for her, with some snacks by the side.

Nicole blushed at Zoe's words.

"Where's your daddy?"

"Daddy went out for grocery shopping. He said he would cook coke chicken wings for me."

Zoe's eyes lit up when she talked about food.

"You little foodie! Is the fever gone?"

Nicole touched her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief when she found everything was alright.

"I feel well. Mommy, when did Daddy come back?"

"Last night."

Nicole touched Zoe's head and poured herself a glass of water.

Zoe pouted and said, "What if Daddy had come back earlier. I wouldn't have been bullied by Miss Jaylen."

Nicole felt a little sad.

"Mommy and Daddy will take you to kindergarten later. Do you want to go to another kindergarten?"

"Mommy, can I stay away from kindergarten? I don't like it at all."

Zoe said with disgust.

Nicole knew that it hurt Zoe.

She didn't know how to talk about it with a child.

"Baby, we all have to work on our own stuff. Daddy needs to earn money. Mommy needs to manage the company. Your brother needs to study. Naturally, you also need to go to kindergarten."

"But I can have a tutor."

Nicole felt somewhat overwhelmed by Zoe's resistance against socializing.

At that moment, Samuel came back.

"What are you two talking about? Sweetheart, come and take a look!"

"Wow, blueberries! Pitaya! Mangosteen! They're all my favorite! Daddy, I love you!"

Zoe was quickly distracted by food from her talk with Nicole. She hurriedly ran over, opened the bag in Samuel's hand, and let out a series of exclamations of surprise.

That was what children did. They were easily cheered up by what they liked.

Nicole hoped that her daughter could keep her innocence forever.

Seeing that Nicole looked at Zoe with a complicated expression, Samuel smiled and said, "Here you are. I bought you durian, your favorite."

"I have no appetite."

Nicole sighed with concern.

"What's wrong? Did Zoe upset you?"

"No, I didn't. I'm a good girl, Daddy!"

Zoe immediately defended herself.

Samuel said, "Go and wash the fruits before eating them."

"OK!"

Zoe carried the bag and ran away.

Samuel sat down beside her and held her in his arms.

"What's the matter?"

"Zoe refuses to go to kindergarten now. What should we do? If she doesn't go to kindergarten, how can she go to elementary school later? A lack of experiences in community will lead to character flaws."

Nicole said frankly.

Samuel smiled and said, "Don't worry. She is just a child. She was bullied in kindergarten. It is natural for her to get defensive. Don't worry. I got this."

"How?"

"You'll see."

Samuel didn't tell her at once. Seeing that Nicole was wearing the thick slippers, he nodded and said with satisfaction, "Whenever you're at home, wear them. By the way, I have asked the decorator to set under-floor heating in the afternoon, so that the floor won't be cold."

Nicole felt a bit annoyed.

"Samuel, it's almost New Year. The heating will stop working in a month. Why did you decide to set under-floor heating now? I can only enjoy it for a month and then it will be warm. You really don't have to do this."

"I have to. You're still weak. Ashley said it would take a long time for your body to recover. You cannot afford to catch a cold before your recovery. It only takes two or three days to set the heating. How about living with grandpa for several days?"
