"It's fine. I want to buy you something to eat. If you are here in the following days, I'll send it here."
Lucas' words instantly moved Nicole.
"Does my son want to buy me food? How touching!"
Samuel came back just in time and felt a little depressed when he heard Nicole.
'In this society, not only should I keep the men outside away from my wife, but should I also keep away my son?'
"There's no need for you to buy anything. Didn't all your money come from me? Your mommy has me. I will buy her anything she likes."
When Samuel uttered those words, Nicole immediately got annoyed.
"Don't discourage my son!"
"I'm telling the truth. You're my wife. Can't I buy you anything you want? Why do you feel touched by him?"
Nicole could feel Samuel's jealousy in his words.
Lucas was even more depressed than Samuel.
'Look, it's not that I don't want to buy delicious food for Mommy. It's all my jealous daddy's fault. What can I do?'
"I used my money. I earned it myself."
Lucas declared this.
"You brat, how do you have the ability to earn money?"
Samuel did not believe it, and he felt obligated to suppress Lucas' desire to buy anything for Nicole. Otherwise, if Lucas bought too much for Nicole, he might be the most important man in her heart!
Lucas explained angrily, "I have a salary now. Morty has enrolled me in the army, and I am getting a salary."
"What? Why didn't he tell me about this?"
Samuel was unhappy.
"There are many things you don't know."
Lucas didn't bother to talk to him and turned to Nicole, "Mommy, don't forget to take the express delivery later."
"Sure."
Nicole felt warm. Most people believed that daughters cared more about their mother than sons, but Nicole didn't think so. Sons were also loving and caring, weren't they?
Seeing that Lucas had hung up the phone and Nicole was still holding the phone with a happy face, Samuel felt more aggrieved.
'A son has grabbed Nicole's attention from me. If my four children put on good words to her later, do I still have a position in Nicole's heart?'
He regretted having four children.
"He hung up the phone. Didn't he just want to buy you something to eat? Didn't I buy you a lot more? Why didn't you treat me so well?"
Samuel's heart was full of jealousy.
Nicole wanted to laugh.
"How can it be the same? This is the first time my son wants to buy something for me seriously. What are you jealous of? Are you still a child?"
"Yes."
Now, Samuel completely threw away his public image. Competing for favor was the most important thing now.
Nicole suddenly felt Samuel was cute.
After hanging up the phone, Lucas placed an order online and booked a box of mangoes for Nicole.
'Mommy likes mangoes very much. Our family, except her, are all allergic to mangoes, so nobody will eat them up secretly.'
'What a good idea!'
The corner of Lucas' lips curled up slightly after his order was finished.
Michele watched as Lucas did it and couldn't help feeling envious.
"Your relationship with your daddy is really good."
"Yes."
Although Lucas often argued with Samuel, he did not deny that his relationship with Samuel was good.
Michele lowered her eyes.
"Is this what having a biological daddy feels like?"
Lucas was slightly stunned.
"Everyone gets along with his father differently. Perhaps Morty will be better to you. Don't think too much. Let's play a few more games in the car."
"Sure."
Michele followed Lucas into the car, and Morty came out from it.
Femando hurriedly walked over at the sight of Morty.
"What are you going to do? Molly can't follow you back to Capital City now. The marriage arranged by Mr. Hill will be announced in a few days. Both families have decided. If she returns..."
"Do you mean I should leave them alone?"
Morty's heart sank. Hearing Femando's words, he put on a cold face.
Femando knew that Morty would never abandon Molly, but when he thought of Morty's current position, he had to say, "Think about your identity. Molly is Dylan's wife after all. Whether you want to or not, if you go too far, someone will impeach you for coveting another man's wife."
Samuel wanted to whine.
"Mr. Morty, do you think Dylan is an idiot? Besides, Jeffrey knows about this. If I hurt Dylan, Jeffrey might..."
"The Hawk family will be crushed in an hour. As for Jeffrey, since he dares to plot against me, he should be prepared for my revenge."
Morty's voice was icy cold.
Although Samuel had expected that the Hawk family would be finished, he did not expect that Morty would make it happen so soon. He did not even hesitate at all.
"Blair's grandfather is still in the hospital. Isn't it proper to destroy the Hawk family now? Besides, Blair..."
"Hasn't Blair been expelled from the Hawk family? Don't think that I don't know what his grandfather thinks. He wants to exchange his family for Blair's future. Since we all knew it, I shouldn't have any scruples about him. Moreover, even if his life can be saved after the operation, he might not be able to breathe after the Hawk family is ruined. That old fox should have planned everything when he provoked me."
Before Samuel could finish his words, Morty interrupted him.
He just pointed it out without any scruple.
Speaking of it, what else could Samuel say? He just regretted saving Michele's child, or else he wouldn't have been involved in such a hassle.
"Can I refuse?"
"No way. You will stay here to travel, so why don't you settle it during this period. Besides, this is Steven's area. It's hard to say whether you should do it in person. Why are you so aggrieved?"
Morty's straightforward words made Samuel laugh angrily.
"Mr. Morty, you're indeed scheming. You even took Steven into your plan? I'll tell him about it and persuade him to join forces with the foreign enemies to kill you! Believe it or not."
"If I die, no one can protect you anymore. Besides, do you have the heart to do that?"
Morty's shameless tone annoyed Samuel.
Samuel retorted angrily, "How can't I have the heart to kill you? You are not my wife."
"But I'm your brother."
After saying that, Morty hung up the phone.
Samuel listened to the beeps of the phone and said angrily, "Fuck! I'll break up with you soon!"
Nicole felt that Samuel's temper got worse after he retired from the army. Moreover, he wasn't as respectful to Morty as before. Now they got along well like brothers. Nicole wondered whether this was good or not. She was just worried that Samuel was truly annoyed with Morty.
"What will you do? Although Dylan is not a capable man and the Bell family is not powerful anymore, I don't think it is that simple."
"Do you also feel it?"
Samuel sighed and added, "I expected it, so I wanted to take you back before Morty came. But after so many things, I didn't expect that this hassle would be thrown at me still. Why don't we turn off our phones and leave without caring about them? Let's buy a ticket to travel somewhere else right away."
Nicole looked at Samuel's innocent smile and didn't have the heart to discourage him, but she didn't want to embarrass herself at the airport with Samuel. So she reminded him, "Since Mr. Morty mentioned it, do you think you can leave this place so easily? Besides, he might have called Mr. Bradford long ago."
Samuel was immediately depressed.
