"Sorry, I'll get right on it immediately."
A little girl's voice came from the other side. It sounded like she felt wronged, but she held back her
grievances.
Lucas didn't show any mercy at all. He turned off the video with a cold face. When he turned around
and saw Nicole standing behind him, his cold expression disappeared.
"Mommy!"
He jumped down from his chair and quickly came to Nicole. Then he stood with his feet together and
saluted Nicole seriously.
"Mother, I'm here!"
He wore a smile, looking like Samuel.
Nicole's heart was about to melt.
"Lucas, good job."
Nicole's eyes were filled with tears.
Lucas hurriedly served a glass of water for Nicole.
"Mommy, why are you here? I didn't expect you to come to see me."
"Nonsense. Cannot I come to see my son?"
Overwhelmed by emotions, Nicole took the cup that Lucas handed over.
"Did you send the flowers?"
"Samuel paid for them."
Lucas jumped onto the chair and shook his legs. The smile on his face was very adorable.
"Mommy likes them very much."
"Of course. I'm in good taste."
Lucas felt that Nicole had lost weight, so he blamed Samuel for not taking good care of Mommy. He
couldn't help but say, "Mommy, don't work so hard. You and Zoe just need to enjoy a happy life.
Samuel and I will support you."
Nicole was slightly shocked. Then, she smiled and said, "Lucas, are you asking me to stop working and
be idle at home?"
"It's natural for men to earn money and women to spend it. What's the problem?"
Lucas looked as if it was a matter of course, which amused Nicole.
"Where do you learn this? You are just a kid. Don’t brag. By the way, who were you scolding just now?
You were so strict. I heard that the little girl was about to cry."
"If she can't stand it, she can leave."
Lucas was quite hard-hearted.
Nicole frowned. "Lucas, you shouldn't be so strict with girls."
"Mommy, there's no difference between men and women here. Forget it. What has Samuel been busy
with? Why did he need me to help him to give you flowers? To do it by himself can show his sincerity.
Samuel doesn't know how to chase after women. I wonder how he got you."
Lucas complained.
Nicole coughed.
Samuel didn't need to chase after girls.
Many women were obsessed with him. If he was a good flirter, how could Nicole be with Samuel?
However, there was no need to say this to Lucas.
"Can I visit your base?"
Nicole thought that since she had come here, she would take good use of this opportunity. Perhaps this
was the only chance she had in her life to enter the military region.
Lucas shook his head and said, "Mommy, our base is the core department of the military region. You
can't. I'm sorry."
"No need to say sorry to Mommy. It's just idle curiosity."
"You can go to my dormitory to take a look."
Lucas was afraid that Nicole would be disappointed, so he hurriedly suggested.
"Is that okay?"
"Of course."
As Lucas said this, he held Nicole's hand and pulled her to his dormitory.
The dormitory was spotless. There were a total of four beds. The blankets on each bed were folded
square.
"Which bed is yours?"
"The one at the bottom."
Lucas pointed at his bed.
Nicole looked at it and found that it was neat.
"Did you make the quilt yourself?"
"Of course."
Lucas said proudly.
Nicole was very gratified.
"My son has grown up."
"Mommy, let me wash some fruit for you."
Lucas hurriedly started to work.
Just as Nicole was about to say no, Lucas had run out.
Perhaps it was just imagination. Nicole felt that Lucas was good at making his bed.
Looking around, she was finally at ease.
It seemed that Lucas had a good life.
Not long after, Lucas came back with the washed apple.
Only then did Nicole remember that the things she had prepared for Lucas were all in Mark's car.
"God. I brought you some things, but they are in my Uncle Mark's car."
"It's fine, Mommy. I'll go get them later."
Lucas handed the apple to Nicole.
Nicole wanted to hug Lucas, but he dodged.
"What's the matter?"
Nicole was a little sad.
Lucas said embarrassedly, "Mommy, we are in the military. I'm a soldier. If others see you hugging me,
they till laugh at me. After all, I'm a team leader."
"Well, you have been promoted to be a group leader."
Nicole teased, but she did not push Lucas.
"Alright, I'm relieved to see that you are doing well here. Your grandfather asked me to send word to
you."
"I know everything. I can basically guess what great-grandpa wants to say. Mommy, how long will you
stay in Seapolis City?"
Lucas suddenly asked, which startled Nicole.
"What do you mean?"
"You set up a filmmaking company in City B. Are you going to develop in Seapolis City?"
Although Samuel did not say anything to Lucas, Lucas could get what he wanted to know.
Nicole whispered, "I will stay in Seapolis City for the time being."
"Then you will be in Seapolis City for Samuel's birthday, won't you?"
Nicole was stunned.
Actually, she longed to celebrate her birthday alone with Samuel. To her surprise, Lucas remembered
his father's birthday. What did he want?
Did he want to be the third wheel?
However, Nicole could not put it on the table. She fudged the answer. "Perhaps. It's still too early to
decide."
Lucas had become worldly-wise due to the army life. He could tell Nicole was offhand with him.
"I know. You want to spend time with Samuel alone and you don't want me to disturb you."
"What nonsense?"
Nicole wished she could give Lucas a spanking. What he said was right, but he shouldn't say it out
loud.
It embarrassed her.
Lucas laughed heartily.
"Mommy, you become angry from shame."
"Now I want to discipline you! Brat, come here!"
Nicole said as she chased after Lucas.
Lucas ran away at slow speed. When he turned around, he was deliberately caught by Nicole.
He fell into Nicole's arms, and he even hooked Nicole's neck.
"Mommy, I miss you so much."
Lucas' sudden gentle voice softened Nicole.
"Mommy misses you too."
Nicole tightened her arms and hugged Lucas tightly.
Lucas sensed a faint smell of blood.
He frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just quietly leaned against Nicole's chest and
enjoyed his mother's care as much as possible.
Visiting hours were about to over.
Nicole was reluctant to leave, but she had to.
Her eyes immediately turned red.
"Lucas, mommy regrets it. Don't stay here and go home with mommy. Mommy can't bear to part with
you."
A trace of helplessness flashed through Lucas' eyes.
"Mommy, I'm a soldier."
"You're my son!"
"I'll go back to see you after my vacation."
Lucas felt tired.
His mommy was good at acting girly now. What should he do?
What exactly had Samuel been doing? Nicole became much less smart.
But Lucas didn't dare to say it.
Telling from Lucas' expression, Nicole knew that he liked this place.
She endured her sadness and said, "Then remember to go home to see Mommy during the holidays.
You can't break your promise. Even after you get married, you have to visit Mommy. You know, in order
to give birth to you and Zoe, back then...."
"Mommy, I promise that even after I have a child, I will return home to see you with my child as much
as possible, okay?"
Lucas knew that Nicole was validating her existence.
All in all, it was Samuel's fault.
His wife didn't pay all her attention to him. He wasn't a qualified husband!
Lucas was complaining secretly, but there was a sweet smile on his face.
Nicole held Lucas' little face and kissed him again and again before reluctantly leaving his dormitory.
Mark was waiting outside.
When he saw Nicole come out with her eyes turning red, he was somewhat puzzled and said, "What's
wrong? Did Lucas annoy you?"
"No, I just can't bear to part with my son."
"A loving mother tends to spoil her son. We are in the army! Women cannot be a drag on the children."
Hearing what Mark said, Nicole glared at him.
"Uncle Mark, I finally know why you can't find a wife even though you are over 30 years old. A person
like you deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of your life. No one is willing to marry you."
"What are you talking about?"
Mark felt that he did not offend Nicole. Why did she speak so harsh words today?
Nicole didn't bother with him. Even if she explained it to him, he wouldn't understand. It would be better
to save her breath.
After Nicole left, Lucas turned on his laptop and cut off the network system inside the military region.
He then immediately connected to the system outside.
It was not difficult for him at all.
When he saw that Nicole had been hurt by Melissa and coerced by her foster parents on Twitter. Lucas
put on a cold look.
He kept scanning. The news that Samuel was caught for murder suddenly came into view
Lucas clenched his hands tightly.
No wonder Samuel would ask him to send flowers to Mommy. No wonder Mommy smelled of blood. No
wonder when Nicole's foster mother called him over, Samuel asked him to go back to the army. It
turned out that so many things happened when he was away.
But Nicole didn't tell Lucas anything.
Now that Samuel had been captured, it would be very dangerous for Mommy to return to Seapolis City
alone.
Lucas remembered what Nicole said before she left.
She said, "Lucas, let's go home. Okay?"
Lucas suddenly felt a little guilty.
He shouldn't have talked to his mommy like that.
Right now, Mommy needed him the most, but he didn't know anything.
Lucas directly exited the system and then walked outside.
No!
Samuel was not around and Lucas was the only man left in the family. Lucas thought he must stay with
his mommy.
