Chapter 529 Marry You for Your Help

"Dean, we're running out of doughnuts. Dessert chefs won't make some for me. You should talk to
them."

When Zoe showed up, Nicole turned extremely excited. She stepped forward and hugged Zoe as she
said in a trembling voice, "Zoe! Where did you go? Do you know that Joseph and I are worried about
you?"

"Mommy?"

Zoe was a little surprised, but she was very happy at the same time.

"Mommy, how did you find me? You're amazing! Did Dean call you? I also called you, but the line was
always busy. Who were you talking to? Daddy? But Daddy isn't yours. You can't talk to him all the time.
So, is Daddy back?"

Zoe's questions made Nicole feel a little sad.

Samuel, did you know that your little daughter was also waiting for you?

Although Nicole felt sad, she whispered, "You've been staying at this house since you couldn't get
through to me? And you eat so many doughnuts. Honey, you're really heartless."

When Dean realized that Nicole was Zoe's mother, he finally let down his guard.

"Oh, you're Zoe mother. Auntie, do you want to come in and have some tea? I called the police just
now, because Zoe said someone kept her in a house."

Nicole was slightly stunned. Then she looked at the policeman beside her and smiled. "My daughter is
too sensitive. She must misunderstand something. I'm sorry to make you come for nothing. I'll ask
Samuel to send some tea to the police station. You guys should enjoy that."



With Nicole's words, the policeman knew that they did not need to interfere in the problems of the
Greens.

Nicole and Zoe belonged to this rich and powerful family. It was difficult for the police to deal with their
family problems. They might offend someone, and they could not afford to do that. After hearing
Nicole's words, they were happy to leave.

"I see, Mrs. Green. It's good that you're fine. Then we have to go now."

The policeman immediately left after saying that.

Dean frowned slightly. He was not satisfied with the result.

"Auntie, why did you say that? You didn't see Zoe faint beside a trash can. She was kidnapped for
real."

Hearing that her little girl fainted next to a trash can, Nicole felt so bad. But she couldn't tell Dean the
problems behind it.

"Thank you, Dean. Thank you for saving Zoe. Are your parents home? I want to thank them. I'll have
her daddy come over to thank them later."

"No, just me here."

Dean said that casually, but Nicole could tell that he was lonely.

"How old are you?"

"I'm 7 years old."

Dean smiled. He was very polite, which made people feel more upset for him.



"I have to bring Zoe home. Why don't you come over and play with us?"

Nicole knew that she was too weak to take care of another child. But seeing Dean pretend to be strong,
she couldn't help but think of Lucas.

How similar these two boys were!

And she used to be the mother who didn't have time to take care of Lucas.

Dean smiled and said, "No, thank you, Auntie. I have a piano lesson in the afternoon, so I can't go to
your house."

"Dean, just come with us. I have two brothers. Let me introduce you to them. They are very nice."

Zoe liked Dean very much, so she hurriedly grabbed his hand.

Dean's smile became even gentler.

"Maybe next time. I don't have time to play today. My teacher will arrive soon."

Hearing that, Nicole knew that this child was very discreet, just like Lucas.

"Alright then. If you need anything, just call me. Here is my number."

Nicole gave Dean her phone number.

When Tim saw that Nicole chatted with a child for so long, he couldn't help but say, "Nicole, you're so
nice to this kid. Anyway, he saved Zoe. Tell me, what do you want? As long as you can say it, I can do
it for you. How about it?"

Dean looked at Tim and turned calm. He whispered indifferently, "No, thank you. My family isn't poor."



Now Tim was surprised.

His words seemed to be squashed by a child.

Last time, it was Lucas. Now it was this brat. Tim thought to himself, "Do I look like a pushover?"

"What do you mean? Do you think you're richer than me? Just remember it. I'm Tim from the Seapolis
City. Jesus, there aren't many people who can make me say that."

"Thank you, but I don't need it."

After saying that, Dean turned around and smiled at Zoe. "Go back with your mother. Call me if you
need anything. You know my number."

"Yeah. Dean, I'll miss you."

Zoe said obediently and hugged Dean. She didn't want to part from Dean.

Dean gently hugged Zoe and smiled. "Me too. You can always come and play with me. You know my
address."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Well then, you should ask your chefs to prepare doughnuts for me."

Zoe said with expectation.

"Alright."

Dean smiled dotingly.



Nicole looked at them. She didn't want to disturb them, but she was worried that Joseph would be
anxious alone at home.

So, Nicole finally said, "Zoe, we have to go home. Joseph must be anxious."

Only then did Zoe let go of Dean. She took off the hairpin on her head and handed it to Dean.

"Dean, this is my favorite hairpin. Here you are. Thank you for saving me today. My brother told me that
I should return something to others if they helped me. But I can't remember the thing. He also said I
should do something if others saved my life. What should I do?"

Zoe scratched her head with a confused expression, which amused Dean.

He smiled and said, "Receiving drips of water when in need, and I shall return the kindness with a
spring. The other one is that I should marry you if you saved my life."

"Yes! Marry! I should marry you!"

After Zoe said that, Dean's face instantly turned red. The corners of Nicole's mouth twitched.

"Zoe, you'd better go back and learn English well. You're talking nonsense."

"I'm not! I just want to marry Dean!"

Zoe said that resolutely, making Dean very embarrassed.

"Auntie, Zoe is a little girl. She doesn't know what it means."

Now Nicole felt that Dean was like a copy of Lucas.

It was enough that she had such a mature son. She couldn't bear to think about having another son-in-
law like that.



"We have to go now."

Nicole decided to bring Zoe back as soon as possible. Otherwise, she didn't know what Zoe would say
to shock them all.

However, Zoe struggled away from her hands and stretched out her small hand to Dean. "It's polite to
exchange things. I've given you my favorite hairpin. Do you want to give me one of your favorite
things?"

Dean was slightly surprised.

Nicole didn't know what to say.

Why did Zoe think of so many sayings today?

"Zoe, that's enough! You shouldn't ask for anything from the person who saved you."

"I'm not asking for it. We're exchanging gifts. I gave him the hairpin, so he should give me something
back."

Zoe said confidently.

Nicole just wanted to knock Zoe out and take her away.

But Dean took off a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Zoe.

"My daddy bought it from a temple when I was born. I've brought it with me for seven years. I don't
know if it's my favorite thing. But it's something I care about the most. I'll give it to you now."

"No, this is too precious."



Nicole could tell that the quality of this jade pendant could not be measured with money, so she wanted
to stop them. However, Zoe just took it over and said happily, "I like this. Don't worry. I will keep it well.
You should also keep my hairpin well!"

"Alright!"

Dean kept a soft smile.

Nicole couldn't help but believe that Zoe was truly blessed by God. Everyone loved her. Nicole knew
that Dean was not from an ordinary family. Now Dean gave such a valuable pendant to Zoe, Nicole
became somewhat uneasy.

Zoe never loved anything for a long time. If she lost Dean's precious pendant, Nicole didn't know how
to compensate him.

After all, this jade pendant was priceless.

"Zoe, you can't take it."

Nicole still wanted to stop them, but Zoe had worn it round her neck.

"No, Dean gave it to me. I love it."

Dean was very happy that Zoe loved it.

When Tim saw Nicole dwelling on it, he couldn't help but say, "It's just a jade pendant. Zoe likes it. We
could buy another one for the boy later."

Nicole glared at Tim and said, "What are you talking about? You should have a good look at this
pendant."

So, Tim took a closer look and he turned very serious.



"Kid, who is your father?"

Dean said indifferently, "He's just a businessman. You don't have to know him."

After saying that, Dean touched Zoe's head and smiled, "Zoe, remember, this is a token of our
friendship."

"I will!"

Zoe answered with certainty. However, a few years later, when Dean came looking for her with her
favorite hairpin, Zoe had completely forgotten about this matter. But it was their story.

Seeing Zoe wore the jade pendant round her neck like a treasure, Nicole really didn't know what to do.
However, Dean didn't want it back. So, Nicole decided to take it off while Zoe wasn't paying attention.
Then she could return it to Dean.

"Then we're going home now."

"Goodbye, Auntie. Take your time."

Dean smiled politely, making people feel good.

Nicole also smiled at Dean before leaving with Zoe.

After getting in the car, Tim whispered, "This boy is not simple. I saw this jade pendant at an auction. It
was bought by a mysterious person. My old man had wanted it so bad. He said that it was good for his
body. That's weird. It's just a jade pendant. How could it do that?"

Hearing this, Nicole became more determined to return the jade pendant to Dean.

Suddenly, a car drove close to them at a fast speed. Tim's face changed instantly.

"Kid, who is your father?"
Dean said indifferently, "He's just a businessman. You don't have to know him."

After saying that, Dean touched Zoe's head and smiled, "Zoe, remember, this is a token of our
friendship."

“TL will
