Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 842

"Where's my mother?"

Nicole was so worried that she let go of Samuel and ran back towards home.

"Nicole, be careful."

Samuel watched her with concern, following her back home.

She couldn't find Audrey anywhere at home and burst into tears.

"My mother doesn't want me anymore. She doesn't want to see me. I know it. She wouldn't have showed up here if grandpa hadn't called her and asked her to do so. She was a soldier and diplomat. It was her duty to come and see me. In fact, she wasn't waiting for me. She was waiting for Martha. Now that Martha has turned herself in, mom disappears again. How can she do this to me? "

Nicole felt so hurt and kept crying.

Samuel couldn't bear seeing her crying like this.

"It's not like that. Maybe she has something else to do and has to leave first. Don't over think about it."

"It is like that. Grandpa said that she wanted to be somewhere that no one knew her, and spent the rest of her life there alone. She has never seen me as her daughter!"

Nicole was acting like a child.

Samuel didn't know what to say or do to make her feel better.

As Nicole cried helplessly, Audrey's voice came from behind her.

"What happened? Samuel, what did you do to her?"

Samuel smiled and didn't know what to say.

When Nicole heard Audrey's voice, she turned around immediately.

"Mom, you are still here."

"Where else am I supposed to be? I have a few words with the captain. What happened to you?"

"I'm glad that you are still here. I thought you had left me again."

Nicole hugged her.

Audrey paused for a moment and started to realize why she was crying. She smiled and said, "You are a mother too now. How can you still cry like a little girl?"

"That's not the point. As long as I am with you, I am always a little girl, your spoiled little girl."

Nicole hugged her tightly, for fear of her mother leaving again.

Samuel shook his head and said, "Mom, I will leave you and Nicole alone. I need to go out and take a look. Martha is not anybody. I guess Mr. Shaw will come here soon to pick her up."

Audrey paused for a moment and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Is he coming too? He is too old to get involved in these trivial matters. Besides, he is retired. Why don't ask someone else to do it for him?"

Nicole realized that Audrey didn't want to see Mr. Shaw. She quickly raised her head and said, "Mom, you still hold grudges against grandpa?"

"What are you talking about?"

Audrey felt a little awkward.

Nicole smiled and said, "Grandpa told me that he separated you and dad. But we have to accept our fate. You and grandpa have been mad with each other for so many years. Why don't you just let it go? Grandpa is old and alone. He misses you very much. Your room is tidy. He must clean it every day. You and grandpa are both so stubborn and neither of you would break the ice first. You've waisted all these years. How longer do you want to keep things going on this way? I like Grandpa a lot anyway. "

As Nicole said, Audrey's eyes were getting wet.

"Don't you hate him?"

"For what?"

Nicole was puzzled.

Audrey bit her lower lip and said, "He separated me and your dad; otherwise, we will have a happy family now."

Nicole finally knew what her mother’s hidden scar was.

She held Audrey's hand and said softly, "Mom, I don't think dad would be with you no matter how." Back then, you were just a young girl, but dad shouldered the responsibilities of supporting his whole family. He had to go to the battleground to protect his country, and didn't want you to keep waiting for him. Perhaps grandpa gave dad good reasons to make up his mind and break up with you. But you can't say that dad didn't have that idea on his mind. He loved you and didn't want you to be worried about him. He wanted to keep you sound and safe. So, breaking up with you was the only choice. It had nothing to do with grandpa. Besides, even if you didn't break up and got married, dad would still sacrifice his life for his country. Right? "

Audrey was convinced.

Nicole knew that she talked her mom through.

She took Audrey to a chair and continued, "Grandpa did nothing wrong. He loves you, and wants to give you the best. He failed to give you a happy family and life. You couldn't even be there when grandma died. Grandpa feels that he owes you a lot, and doesn't want you to repeat his life. You are his only daughter, he has no one else but you to care for. Grandpa may not only come for Martha. He just wants to take you home."

Audrey straightened up and felt a little awkward.

"Home?"

"Yes, home. Home is where love is; home is where family is. Grandfather will not take the military compound as home unless you are there. And for me, the place where you live is my harbor. Mom, please come home with us and continue the treatment. Every single day spent with you means much to me. Let me take care of you, OK?"

Nicole was so sincere that Audrey found no excuse to say no.

This was the reason why she didn't want to face Nicole.

Audrey knew that she was actually lonely inside. She wanted her child to be around, but didn't think she deserved that.
