Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1001

Nicole frowned slightly.

"Alison? Ernesto?"

She subconsciously shouted and saw Ernesto poking out his head with some food on the corners of his mouth.

"Mrs. Green, are you done?"

"What are you doing?"

Nicole looked at him in confusion.

...

Ernesto came out from the corner and hid a pastry behind him. He had only taken a few bites.

"Haven’t you had lunch?"

Nicole just shook her head, thinking that something had happened to them.

"Where's Alison?"

"She went to the bathroom."

Hearing Ernesto's reply, Nicole got depressed.

Alison went to the bathroom while Ernesto was eating.

Two actions didn't match each other.

"Stop eating. Follow me back to the Shaw's. We can dine together."

"No, Mrs. Green, I'm not going. There are still a lot of things to do. Mr. Green has arranged a lot of work for me. I haven't finished it yet. Since you don't need me for the time being, I just want to take this opportunity to eat something."

Ernesto was a little embarrassed.

Nicole found that his pastry turned cold. She didn't know when he bought it.

During this period of time, when Samuel was not around, the workload of Ernesto had considerably increased. Moreover, he took over Jacob's job and needed to run the company. It was really difficult for him.

"It's not good to have cold food. If you don't want to go to the Shaw's for dinner, then have a bowl of hot beef noodles at the door. It's my treat."

"No need, Mrs. Green. I'm fine with this. It saves me time and can fill up my stomach. It won't delay anything. I can still drive."

Ernesto said frankly.

Nicole felt uncomfortable and distressed.

"Alright, listen to me and have a meal. Let's go!"

Nicole grabbed Ernesto's hand and dragged him away.

Ernesto was stunned. Then he hurriedly shook away Nicole's hand in the next moment.

Heavens!

If Samuel knew that Nicole held Ernesto's hand, he might break Ernesto's hand.

Nicole was somewhat surprised.

"What?"

"Well, Mr. Green will be jealous."

Ernesto stuttered, but Nicole laughed out loud.

He was funny.

However, because of Ernesto, Nicole's uncomfortable mood had somewhat eased up.

"Alright, I won't hold your hand. Hurry up and leave. Take me to find Alison."

Since Nicole ordered, Ernesto didn't dare to delay any longer and followed behind Nicole respectfully.

However, Nicole did not see Alison.

"Where is she?"

"She went to buy water for you."

Ernesto had to tell the truth.

"Mrs. Green, can you not tell Alison that I went for a bite to eat instead of staying by your side?"

Ernesto was a little scared.

"Why?"

Nicole was puzzled, but she acted as if she was waiting for a good show.

"Alison is too strong. I'm not her match. I pulled her away just now, and she almost broke my arm. Is she really a woman?" Ernesto said awkwardly.

Nicole burst into laughter.

"Is that the only reason?"

"Not exactly. She told me to stay by your side to protect you, but I went for a bite. She will definitely beat me up again if she finds it out."

Ernesto explained as if he were a wronged wife.

Nicole smiled and said, "Why can't you defeat her?"

"I will work hard! I will go back and train hard. I guarantee that I will not be outdone by a woman!"

"Do you think you deserve to be a man?"

Alison came back. Hearing what Ernesto said, she snorted coldly. Ernesto immediately hid behind Nicole like a quail.

Nicole rarely saw Ernesto behave like this. She couldn't help but smile, "Alison, don't frighten him, or I will have no helper."

"There's no need to use such a loser."

Alison had a sharp tongue. Ernesto waved his small fist behind Nicole with anger, but he didn't dare to go out to confront Alison.

What an infuriating woman Alison was!

Nicole felt that they were funny. She smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to something delicious."

Alison just wanted to say refuse. But when she saw Nicole's determined expression, she shut her mouth.

"Here's water."

Alison handed over the water in her hand to Nicole and went out with her by her left. Ernesto only dared to follow behind them.

These days, women were not easy to be trifled with.

Ernesto muttered secretly, not daring to fall behind.

Alison was reluctant to pay attention to Ernesto and said to Nicole, "When I went out to buy water just now, I saw a few suspicious people wandering around your car. We should take a taxi back later."

Nicole paused slightly.

Who were those people?

They seized any chance to make things difficult for Nicole.

"Alright."

It was just a car, and she could afford to throw it away.

"Have someone check the car later. If there's no problem, drive it back."

"Got it."

As they spoke, Alison and Nicole had arrived at a beef restaurant nearby.

Nicole poked Alison with her arm.

Although this was the first time they met and worked together, Nicole believed that Alison was capable since her grandpa recommended her. Besides, Nicole liked Alison's personality.

Alison did not feel awkward and frankly said, "He is easy on the eye. But he is weak and he needs to practice."

"Take it easy. Don't scare him away. There aren't many pure boys these days."

"I'll have him in the palm of my hand. I take a fancy on him, so he is the mountain top that I want to occupy. If I can't make it, it means I fail the mission. It's not acceptable in the army."

Alison's theory of love surprised Nicole, but Nicole didn't say anything else. When it came to love, it would be good not to push too far. Let nature take its course.

"Alright, let's go back for dinner. Grandpa should be anxious."

Nicole got up and left the beef noodle shop.

When Alison was talking to her, she had booked an online car. It was just the right time. No sooner did they go out than the reserved car arrived.

Nicole trusted Alison and directly went up.

Along the way, they returned to the Shaw's safely.

Edwin was busy. Upon seeing Nicole, he immediately smiled and said, "You couldn't have timed it better. The dinner is ready. Your sense of smell is as acute as dogs'."

"Grandpa, I'm your granddaughter. You get yourself involved as well when you call me a dog."

Nicole replied with a smile.

"You have the gift of gab. Get dressed and wash your hands. Dinner will be served later."

"Alright."

Nicole threw her bag onto the sofa and went back to her bedroom to wash up.

Although it had been a long time since she came here, Edwin had people buy some clothes and daily necessities according to the season. He was afraid that after Nicole returned, she would be short of something.

Nicole opened the cabinet to look for clothes and found a small box in the corner.

She had never noticed this little box before.

Everyone wanted to satisfy his curiosity, and Nicole was no exception.

She took out the small box, only to find that it was locked.

What was the mysterious stuff inside?

Nicole quickly got dressed and came out with the small box.

"Grandpa, what is this little box in my wardrobe?"

Edwin looked at the small box, and his expression changed slightly.

"Your grandmother left it behind."

"Really? Do you have the key?"

"I don't know where I threw it. There's nothing particularly important. If you really want to see it, just smash the lock. She's gone. There's no use of keeping a box."

Although Edwin said that, there was still a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

Nicole thought that perhaps it was something that grandma left for grandpa. Maybe she was embarrassed to tell him when she left.

Thinking of this, Nicole hurriedly walked down with the box in her hand.

"Grandpa, let's open it together."

Edwin did not refuse.

Nicole knew that her guess was correct.

She asked Alison to open the box. But when she saw what was inside, she was stunned.
