Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 997

Nicole knew the fragrance. She had smelt it on Melissa's body before.

But now Melissa should be controlled by Zayn. Why was there a same scent on Lillian?

Nicole got a good idea.

"Lillian, you smell good. Do you wear a new perfume? What's the brand? I'll get one."

Nicole asked with a faint smile.

There was a flash in Lillian's eyes. Then she smiled and said, "I'm not young. I don't wear any perfume. You might be wrong."

"Really? Perhaps I get it wrong. I was injured and I have been staying in the hospital. Maybe that's why I feel everything is fragrant."

Nicole still smiled, but there wasn't smile in her eyes.

Lillian looked at her in surprise, "Were you injured? What's going on? Is it serious?"

Nicole thought Lillian was really a hypocrite.

The news that Nicole was hurt by Melissa was almost on the top of the Twitter trending news. Even if she didn't use Twitter at the age, she should have heard from Petty about it. Now that Petty had already see the news, Lillian must have known it.

Nicole never thought that Lillian would betray her. But now, she found the betrayer in the family as soon as she went home.

Nicole thought about it and smiled, "Not a big deal. I'm still standing here. I know someone wants me dead. They seek every way to kill me. But I am lucky that I'm not dead."

As she spoke, she shrugged mischievously.

Lillian coughed and said, "Are you going out?"

"Yes. I am going to see my grandfather. No need to save a meal for me, Lillian. I'll have lunch with my grandfather."

As soon as Nicole walked out of the house, she stopped smiling.

Then she called Ernesto.

"Check out what Lillian has done and whom has she met recently?"

"No problem."

Nicole and Samuel trusted in Ernesto. Without asking anything, he began to work at once.

Entering the garage, Nicole examined her car and found the tires muddy.

She always had her car cleaned before it was sent in the garage. Moreover, she had not been in the Seapolis City recently. In other words, someone drove her car recently.

Then she called Ernesto again.

"I have got one more thing to tell you. Check whether I have received any parking or speeding tickets for my car recently. And go to the traffic police station to check if my car has been driven to any places."

"Yes, madam."

Hanging up the phone, Nicole got on a Land Rover of Samuel and drove it out.

As Samuel's license plate was conspicuous, it would be reported to the traffic police once she had any accident.

Nicole did it for her safety.

She didn't expect that people around her would hurt her until she came back. Now someone in the Green family wanted to kill her. It was really dangerous.

Nicole drove to the Edwin's.

Informed of that Nicole had come back, Edwin started to prepare food.

"Hurry up! Make some pastries. Desserts were Nicole's favorite. She had a miscarriage and now is injured. I must prepare some food she likes when she comes home."

The Ian immediately went to the kitchen.

Edwin noticed the sofa at home. He felt it was not warm enough, so he pulled out a cushion from the study and put it onto the sofa.

Nicole came inside and spotted this. She was moved by her grandfather.

"Edwin, what are you doing?"

"Nicole? Come sit down! Look, I put the cushion for you. It's soft and warm, so it won't hurt your waist."

Edwin said with a smile. At this moment, his eyes were filled with tears.

"Grandpa!"

Nicole rushed over and gave him a hug. She was so touched that her eyes were moistened.

"You are a mother. How could you act like a kid?"

"I don't care. I just want to hug my grandpa. I miss you so much."

Nicole wiped away the tears with her hands when she was holding Edwin.

She didn't want Edwin to see her tears. She wanted to please him.

"Well, I am almost out of breath. Just sit down. I have the food prepared. Will you have lunch here?"

"Alright, I want Sweet and Sour Fish."

Nicole acted like a spoiled kid.

Edwin burst into laughter.

"Alright, I'll tell the kitchen to cook it for you. I didn't know you are a foodie. Zoe is like you in eating!"

Hearing her daughter's name, Nicole couldn't help but miss her.

"Zoe was born foodie. It has nothing to do with me. Did she come here?"

"Sure. She came every day at first. But later, I went out for painting nature drawings. I haven't seen this girl for days. I think Samuel is really considerate. Your mother is no longer here. I am lonely and bored. So I am really happy that Samuel sent Zoe here every day. At the beginning, I felt hard to communicate with the little girl. Zoe is a wilful kid. Sometimes she would break things in a fit of temper. And I also taught her some self-defense techniques. But I don't know if she has practiced it without me. It's better for girls to learn some self-defense techniques. "
