Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1771

She was supposed to meet him tomorrow.

Did she like him?

Joseph was surprised was he knew about the news. He panicked a little, and at the same time, he felt warm.

It was a piece of bittersweet and sudden news.

Why did she come back now?

Why did he only know about this now?

Joseph frowned.

He spoke under the pressure of the family members around, “I’m going to marry Mia.”

“Why? Because of the baby?”

“Yes.”

Zoe felt speechless.

“Joseph, I know you’re a responsible man, and I don’t care how and why you slept with her, but you need to know that the baby isn’t necessarily yours. Have you checked?”

Joseph stared at Zoe and pushed his glasses upwards, “I will when I can.”

“Then don’t get married first. Wait till everything is confirmed.”

“Which is why I’m going for engagement first.”

Joseph and Zoe actually were looking in the same direction.

Joseph knocked up a girl and got her pregnant, and he was a responsible man. So, he wanted the child to have a proper family, which was why he wanted to marry Mia in the first place.

Nicole felt bad.

“Joseph, you didn’t like Mia?”

“I don’t.”

Joseph answered frankly.

Samuel put down his chopsticks and raised his voice.

“You didn’t like her, but you slept with her? And you even got her pregnant? Joseph, I never know you’re a man like this. You should never touch a woman if you didn’t like her in the first place. You’re…”

“Hey, stop it. Joseph has grown up. There’s no need to lecture him.”

Nicole stopped Samuel as she recognized Joseph as the eldest grandchild of the family.

Samuel was furious. He said angrily, “A Green shouldn’t be a jerk, and you dare to do such a thing as the eldest grandchild of the family? Ten miles!”

“Okay.”

Joseph didn’t say anything else. He headed directly into the garden.

Nicole felt bad for Joseph, “Have your food first, Joseph.”

But Joseph had already gone out of the house.

Nicole kicked Samuel in anger.

“What are you doing? He rarely came home, and you punished him once he’s back? Didn’t you notice Joseph became thinner?”

Samuel sighed as he heard Nicole complaining, “A Green can’t be a jerk.”

“A jerk? Wasn’t you one as well? Joseph took up the responsibility. What about you? I don’t remember you took up the responsibility when I was pregnant with Lucas and Zoe.”

Nicole started settling the old scores.

Lucas told Zoe, “Zoe, bring Yasmeen into the room and get her some clothes to change. I’ll go running with Joseph.”

“Alright.”

Zoe decided to get away from the drama that was going to happen.

Tanner and Eaton didn’t know what was going on. They asked in curiosity, “Mother, what did father do to you?”

Samuel wanted to shut their mouth for good so much.

Zoe ran away with Yasmeen, while Lucas ran out of the house and headed into the garden.

Joseph asked Lucas when he saw Lucas following him, “Why did you come out?”

“I’m afraid that you’re going to feel lonely. So, I came out.”

“Tell me the truth.”

“Bingo!”

An affirmation from Zoe made Kylie happy about it as well.

“Congrats to Yasmeen!”

“Don’t listen to her. We haven’t even gone for registration.”

Yasmeen sounded sweet.

After that, the girls decided on a meet-up point, and they walked out of the room.

Samuel and Nicole had already gone back into their room. However, there were two more people running laps in the garden. It was Tanner and Eaton.

Zoe shook her head and sighed, “They’re silly. Didn’t they know that curiosity kills cats? They weren’t even as clever as a cat.”

Yasmeen chuckled.

Zoe and Yasmeen walked into the garden. Zoe smiled and waved at Lucas, “Lucas, I’m going out with Yasmeen to meet up with a friend. Keep running.”

Lucas was stunned. Then he stopped.

“Let me send you.”

“Sure.”

Zoe didn’t reject Lucas’ offer.

Lucas went into his room and took a shower. He then changed into a set of casual clothing. Lucas suddenly stopped in front of his wardrobe.

The outfit Lucas wore the most was his army outfit. Even his wardrobe is filled with them. Now that he had applied to be released from the army, all these outfits had to be returned.

Lucas suddenly felt heavy-hearted and sad.

Lucas reached out his hand and stroked his clean army outfit. He started to feel teary.

Yasmeen went to Lucas’ room to talk to him, but when she saw Lucas stroking his army outfit with a heavy-hearted look on his face, Yasmeen felt sorry for Lucas.

Did Lucas feel heavy-hearted after all?

Lucas did end up giving up his dream and belief for Yasmeen.

Yasmeen suddenly felt depressed and suffocated.
