Chapter 491 You Are Fooled This Time
"What''s wrong? Is it hurting somewhere?"
Nicole quickly walked over.
Lucas, however, made a victory gesture to Joseph behind Nicole.
Joseph didn''t open his eyes until Nicole came to his side.
"Mommy."
"Do you feel ufortable?"
Nicole felt very sorry for Joseph.
Joseph shook his head and said, "I''m much better. Thank you, Mommy."
A trace of sadness suddenly welled up in Joseph''s heart as he thought he would leave home with
Lucas at night and leave Nicole who was so good to him.
"Mommy, can you hug me?"
Joseph''s request surprised Nicole for a moment.
''He must be very sorrowful right now,'' thought Nicole.
"Of course!"
She hugged Joseph without hesitation.
Joseph was a little thinner than before, but he also became stronger.
Joseph whispered as he hugged Nicole, "Mommy, you are the best mommy in the world. If only you
were my real mommy!"
Nicole wanted to cry upon hearing it.
"I am your mommy. No matter how old you are or where you go, I am your mommy. You can treat me
as your mommy for the rest of your life."
"Thank you, Mommy."
Joseph was so moved that he wanted to cry.
He looked at Lucas. Seeing that Lucas didn''t show any unhappiness, he let go of Nicole and said, "I''ll
go wash my face."
"Alright, hurry up. Come downstairs with Lucas and have mealster."
Joseph seemed to be in a better mood, and Nicole also had a smile on her face.
"I''ll go with you!"
Lucas and Joseph were like twin babies now.
At the sight of this, Nicole felt somewhatforted.
After Joseph and Lucas went to the bathroom, Nicole tidied up the bed and went downstairs.
Vincent had been released, but still had a strained rtionship with Samuel.
Feeling the tension between them, Laurel couldn''t help but sigh. "Get on well today. Sit down and have
a peaceful reunion dinner with me. What''s wrong? Are you guys feeling wronged?"
"No, Mom, what are you talking about?"
Samuel hurriedly replied.
Although Vincent did not say anything, his expression also softened a lot.
Not long after, Nicole came.
Zoe sat beside Laurel and whispered, "Grandma, since there are so many delicacies, can I eat more
today?"
"No way."
Laurel''s refusal froze Zoe''s smiling face.
"Why?"
"You can''t digest properly if you eat too much for dinner."
"What if I go out for a walk with Lucas after dinner?"
To eat more, Zoe even took Lucas as apanion.
Samuel and Nicole couldn''t help but smile.
Zoe was such a glutton. Was she like her parents? Or was it that she hadn''t eaten properly and she
had be afraid of being hungry in the past four years?
Laurel''s expression also softened a lot.
"Ask Lucaster. I have no objections if he agrees to go with you."
"Yeah!"
Zoe quickly turned cheered.
Joseph and Lucas looked at the remaining seats after arriving at the dining hall.
Joseph had to sit beside Vincent, while Lucas had his seat beside Nicole.
Lucas found that Joseph seemed to be very nervous when getting close to Vincent. He wondered if it
was only an illusion.
He secretly felt it a wise choice to take Joseph away from home.
"Alright, everyone is here. Help yourself."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks after Laurel gave an order.
Zoe asked for sliced beef with vinegar, and pork ribs with sweet and sour sauce from time to time. She
just ate meat.
Nicole was a little worried that Zoe would stuff herself, so she whispered, "Zoe, have some
vegetables."
"No! I ate lots of vegetables at the kindergarten for lunch today. So, I want meat for dinner! Besides, I''ll
digest them if I go for a walk with Lucaster."
Zoe''s words puzzled Lucas.
"To go for a walk with you?"
"That''s right! You are the best!"
Zoe immediately revealed a charming smile.
Lucas, at the other hand, forced a smile and questioned, "Have you asked me? Did I agree?"
"Will you refuse me? Then shall I go with Joseph?"
Just as Zoe finished her words, Vincent opened his mouth.
"Joseph should read after dinner."
Joseph’s hand holding chopsticks paused. However, he remained silent as usual.
Laurel snapped angrily, "Why should he read? Joseph just came back today. He doesn''t need to read
anything tonight. Moreover, he''s still injured. Today, he will go for a walk with Zoe and Lucas."
Since Laurel had said so, Vincent paused for a moment, but he did not refute.
Knowing that he didn''t need to read today, Joseph heaved a sigh of relief.
The vibe during the dinner was quite harmonious.
After dinner, Vincent went straight to the study, saying that he needed to deal with thepany affairs.
Samuel couldn''t help but frown when hearing it.
"I need to talk to him."
"Another day. You guys have already had a fight today. He won''t listen whatever you say. Why not talk
to him another day?"
Nicole stopped Samuel.
Laurel echoed, "Yes, no need to worry about him today."
"Alright."
But Samuel was still frowning.
Zoe had eaten too much for dinner, so she was unable to move as she sat on the sofa. She rubbed her
round belly and cried out ufortably.
Lucas looked at her andmented, "You deserve it. You ate too much!"
"But it''s really delicious."
Zoe pouted and retorted.
Joseph''s liveliness and energy were reced by silence. He was sitting beside Laurel quietly.
It pained Nicole when she saw Joseph being in such a state.
"Joseph, have an orange."
She peeled an orange for Joseph.
"Thank you, Mommy."
Joseph took it over. Instead of wolfing it down like before, he ate it in aparatively elegant manner.
However, no one was happy to see Joseph’s change. Rather, they were slightly distressed.
Samuel frowned again at the thought that he might no longer see the lively and cute Joseph.
"Joseph, don''t worry. I''ll talk to your daddyter, and ask him to allow you to have courses at home with
Lucas. You''re still a little boy, so there''s no need to learn those things so early."
Joseph nodded upon hearing that, but his eyes did not reveal much joy.
Laurel sighed and said, "Such a good boy has be like this. I really don''t know what Vincent is
thinking."
"All right, Grandma. Joseph and I will take Zoe out for a walk. If she doesn''t get up, she might really be
unable to walk."
Lucas interrupted in a hurry.
Only then did everyone look at the ufortable Zoe.
"You shouldn''t have eaten so much."

Nicole quickly gave Zoe a digestive pill.
After Zoe swallowed it, she rubbed her stomach and promised, "Mommy, I won''t eat so much next
time."
"You''ve said it many times."
Nicole would not believe Zoe.
Zoe could never resist the temptation of food.
Lucas and Joseph pulled Zoe up from sofa and walked out together.
"Grandma, we''ll go for a walk," yelled Lucas.
At the sound of it, Laurel smiled and said, "Pay attention to your safety. Don''t go too far."
"Okay!"
Then the three children walked out of the Green''s.
Lucas observed the surroundings as he came out, and so did Joseph.
Only the foolish Zoe had no idea of their n. With her hands on the waist, she said, "Lucas, are we
going to walk down this path?"
"Yes."
Lucas looked around. There were a few cameras nearby, and he remembered where they were and
what lines they should go on.
Meanwhile, Joseph carefully observed the nearby entrance and exit, which was suitable for children to
hide in.
Zoe walked alone in front and suddenly found that there was no sound of footsteps behind her.
She immediately stopped, only to realize that Joseph and Lucas were whispering to each other.
"What are you whispering? Can I listen?"
Zoe ran towards them.
Lucas shut his mouth and said, "We''re talking about boys. You shouldn’t listen."
"I want! I want!"
Zoe shook Lucas'' arm.
Lucas said helplessly, "All right. Since you are so fat, we were guessing whether you''re afraid that no
men will like you in the future."
"No! I''m a cute and beautiful girl. I''m sure I''ll have a good-looking boy like Daddy in the future."
...
Lucas and Joseph immediately pretended that they were going to vomit.
Zoe became unhappy.
"What do you mean? I''ll beat you up!"
"Come on!"
Lucas began to run, followed by Joseph.
Zoe angrily stomped her feet. Reluctant to be outdone, she quickly chased after them.
"You! Stop!"
"Come and beat me up!"
Perhaps they were about to leave, Lucas and Joseph were trying to be good to Zoe.
After all, they didn''t know when they coulde back.
Although Lucas was running at the front, he focused on Zoe chasing behind him.
Zoe was exhausted after running for a while, so angry that she squatted on the ground.
"You are bullying me! You two men are bullying a little girl! How can you do that!"
Zoe began to cheat.
Lucas and Joseph exchanged nces with each other, and then bothughed. They quickly ran back
to Zoe.
"How can you cheat after knowing that you can''t catch up with us?"
Lucas stretched out his hand to pull Zoe up.
But Zoe suddenly grabbed Lucas and excitedly said, "I catch you! You will go to nowhere this time! You
are fooled this time!"
Zoe yelled with pride.
Lucas, however, did not argue with her.
"Yes, Zoe is the smartest girl."
"That''s right. Lucas, I want to eat ice cream."
Zoe took the opportunity to "ckmail" him.
Lucas was suddenly rendered speechless. He then continued, "You''ve been stuffed to this point. Do
you still want to eat?"
"Just say whether you will buy it for me or not!"
"Okay, I''ll buy it. You win."
Lucas really couldn''t do anything to Zoe, so he went to the supermarket with Joseph and Zoe for ice
cream.
Zoe insisted on buying two ice creams no matter how Lucas persuaded. So Lucas had no choice but to
agree. Unexpectedly, Zoe handed one of them to Joseph. She said with a sweet smile, "Joseph, this is
for you."
"Hey, Zoe! I''m your physical brother! I bought this ice cream! But you are giving it to Joseph rather than
me? Are you kidding?"
Lucas was a little upset.
However, Zoe smiled and said, "I''m just giving it to Joseph. What can you do to me?"
As she spoke, she shook her little head and smiled proudly.
Joseph suddenly felt warm and moved.
He wanted to say something, but before he could do it, he caught sight of Vincent, who was driving
away from the Green''s.
Since the three children were in the supermarket, they were naturally ignored by Vincent. Joseph
thought to himself, ''At this time, where is he going?''
