Chapter 476 Lucas Was a Bit Precocious

Nicole suddenly felt conflicted.

She really hadn't thought about where the child would turn to.

Seeing that Nicole was in a dilemma, Dad Bush said to his wife, "What's wrong with you? Zoe can go
wherever she wants to go. Stop asking. Besides, Zoe is also the granddaughter of the Greens. It’s okay
if she wants to go back to the Green’s."

Ms. Bush felt wronged.

"I'm just asking. Zoe likes the dishes I cook the most. If she comes back tonight, I would need to
prepare in advance."

Hearing what her mother said, Nicole felt quite sad.

Ever since he left home five years ago, her parents have been living a lonely life. Now they could finally
find sustenance in Zoe. Nicole really didn't know how to decide.

"Mom and Dad, Samuel is coming back today, we might go to the Green's tonight for a reunion dinner.
We will come back for dinner tomorrow, alright? I'll bring Lucas with me."

Nicole's words instantly lifted her mother's spirits.

"Good! I'll prepare the dishes and wait for you to come tomorrow."

Although Dad Bush didn't say anything, there was a smile on his face.

Seeing that her parents could be so happy with such a small action of hers, Nicole felt sorry for them.

Nicole always felt that she was a good daughter, but it seemed that she wasn't good enough.



Zoe did not know what was on Nicole's mind. Zoe was thinking about the kindergarten. She anxiously
pulled Nicole's hand and said, "Mommy, hurry up. Otherwise, we will be late."

"Alright. We're leaving now."

Nicole said goodbye to her parents with a smile, and then got into the car with Zoe.

Until they drove a long way, her parents were still standing at the door and watched their car. Their
figures really made Nicole feel sad.

Beside her, Zoe said excitedly, "Mommy, is this the schoolbag you bought for me?"

"Yes. Do you like it?"

Nicole took out a small pink schoolbag and handed it to Zoe.

"Yes!"

Zoe hugged the bag in her arms as if it was a treasure.

Along the way, she kept talking excitedly, asking tons of questions. Nicole answered all of the questions
patiently.

When Nicole arrived at the Green's, Lucas had already packed up. Seeing Nicole's car, Laurel went out
with Lucas.

"Mom, you didn't need to come out. I could have come in and picked him up."

Seeing that Nicole was in good spirits today, Laurel smiled and said, "I said that I could send them to
school. But you insisted to do it yourself. How are you feeling now? Can you handle it?"



"It's fine. Mom, I have recovered. Don't worry about me anymore. Please don't tell Samuel that I was in
the hospital when he comes back today. Otherwise, he would be worried."

Nicole's words caused Laurel to pause for a moment, but then she instantly understood.

"You don't want Samuel to know about the kidnapping?"

"There's no need to tell him. It's all over. Besides, I'm alright now."

Nicole smiled calmly. Laurel was a little moved.

Nicole didn't want Samuel to know about it because she was afraid that Samuel would blame himself
for it.

Something like this happened to his wife and he wasn't there with her, he would definitely feel that he
was a useless man.

Nicole was entitled to blame Samuel for not being there for her. However, she chose to hide her
grievance for Samuel's sake. How could Laurel not be moved?

"Hurry up and go. I will go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients at noon. We'll have a reunion
dinner today."

"Alright!"

Nicole brought Lucas into the car.

Compared to Zoe's excitement, Lucas looked pretty calm.

"Lucas, we're going to the kindergarten. Mommy said you would be in the same class as me, is that
right?"



Zoe's happiness also infected Lucas.

He smiled and said, "Yes. Don't worry. I won't let anyone bully you."

"Why would anyone want to bully me? I'm so cute and beautiful!"

Zoe's words immediately made Nicole and Lucas laugh.

"Stop flattering yourself."

Lucas glanced at her and smiled faintly, "No matter how beautiful you are, if someone bullies you, you
should fight back, okay? If you can't beat them, I will help you."

Hearing Lucas’ words, Nicole fell silent.

"Lucas, what did you teach your sister? You should be kind to your classmates."

Lucas clearly didn't agree with Nicole, but he didn't show it on his face.

However, Nicole realized it and she flicked his forehead.

"Brat, you're getting bold now. You even dare to ignore my words? When your daddy comes back, I will
tell him and he will pin your ear back."

Hearing Nicole's happy voice, Lucas smiled.

Nothing could make Nicole happier than Samuel's return today.

Lucas knew this and was also happy about it in his heart. However, he said, "It's not likely that Samuel
can do anything to me."

"Do you dare to challenge your daddy?"



"Maybe."

As Lucas spoke proudly, he heard Zoe saying discontentedly, "If you drive Daddy away, I won't talk to
you for the rest of my life."

"Silly Zoe, I'm your brother!"

"But I like daddy too! I haven't seen daddy for a long time. Grandma said that daddy is on a business
trip. Mommy, is Daddy coming back today?"

"Of course, you can see Daddy today after school."

"Yeah! That's great!"

Zoe jumped up happily, startling Nicole. Lucas grabbed her and said with lingering fear, "Zoe, do you
know anything about traffic safety? It's already wrong not to wear your seat belt. You even dare to
jump?"

When Lucas scolded Zoe, he sounded more like her dad rather than her brother. Nicole couldn't help
but laughing.

Zoe pouted and said, "Lucas, you are so rude to me."

"I'm rude? If you do this again, I'll directly beat you up. Do you believe that?"

Lucas frightened Zoe. And it seemed to work well. For the rest of the journey, Zoe somewhat
suppressed her excitement of attending kindergarten.

However, after arriving at the kindergarten, Zoe became excited again.

"Wow, so many children, such a big kindergarten, so many teachers, So many policemen!"



Zoe said several "so many" in a row.

Lucas rubbed her head and said, "Don't make a fuss. It's embarrassing."

"What do you mean?"

Zoe's face was filled with confusion.

Lucas didn't want to explain it to her.

"Never mind. Say goodbye to Mommy and I'll bring you in."

Nicole was surprised at Lucas’ words.

"Shouldn't I bring you in to find your class and teacher?"

"No need, Mommy, go pick up Samuel. It takes an hour to get to the airport from here. I'll bring Zoe
inside. Don't worry, we can find the classroom."

After saying that, Lucas led Zoe off the car like an adult.

"Goodbye, Mommy!"

Zoe let Lucas hold her hand and walked inside the kindergarten with him excitedly.

Nicole felt a little useless as a mother.

The kids don't even need her anymore.

Nicole still got out of the car and followed them. She watched as Lucas walking towards the classroom
with Zoe according to the sign.



Zoe said with a face full of admiration, "Lucas, you are so smart! You did find our classroom!"

Lucas sighed.

He really wondered what was going on with the heritance of her IQ.

Nicole watched them enter the classroom. When the teacher asked questions, Nicole walked over.

"Nice to meet you. I am their mother. My name is Nicole."

Hearing Nicole's voice, Lucas and Zoe finally noticed that their mother had also come in the
kindergarten.

Lucas was touched by his mother's action, but he quickly turned his head away to hide his expression.

"Teacher, my mother's health condition is not quite well. Don't let her stay here for too long. If there's
anything you need to let her know, you can just tell me."

Lucas’ words surprised the teacher, but Nicole was a bit annoyed.

There was no need to let everyone know about her health condition.

"Teacher, please don't mind. Lucas is a bit precocious."

"It's fine. I understand. You are their mother, right? Don't worry, you can leave the children to us. Just
come and pick them up tonight."

"Then I'll be leaving now."

Nicole waved at Lucas and Zoe.



Zoe looked completely curious about the new place now. She did not have much reaction to Nicole's
departure. On the contrary, Lucas said worriedly, "Mommy, be careful on the way."

"Alright, you can go in."

Seeing that they went in the classroom, Nicole left the kindergarten.

After Nicole got into the car, Finn said to her, "Ma'am, Mr. Green called and said that he had already
boarded the plane. He will arrive in about an hour and a half."

"I see. Let's leave now. We'll be able to make it in time."

"Alright!"

They quickly left the kindergarten, but Nicole discovered that there was a car following them.

She frowned.

From the moment she left the hospital, it seemed that there had always been someone following her, or
Finn. This really made her uncomfortable.

She was going to pick up Samuel today.

Samuel had been through too much in the past eight days. She didn't know whether his health
condition was alright now. It was also unknown what these people following them want. If these people
tried to hurt Samuel, what should she do then?

Thinking of this, Nicole pondered for a while and made a decision.

"Finn, when we leave this road, think of a way to get rid of the car behind us, or directly block them.
Let's see who they are and what they want."



"Yes!"

Finn also knew that there was someone following him. Originally, he didn't plan to tell Nicole about it
and wanted to quietly get rid of them. But since Nicole already knew about it, Finn changed his mind.

He also wanted to see who was following them like a fly.
