Chapter 792 Don''t Frighten the Child
"What voice?"
Samuel hurriedly ran out, and Mark pulled Nicole behind him with a protective posture.
Actually, Nicole also wanted to go out. But Mark protected her so firmly that there was no gap between
Mark and her, she could simply stay behind Mark.
After Samuel ran out, he saw another firework soaring into the sky which was apanied by a "bang,
bang" sound.
"Lucas!"
Samuel snapped when he saw Lucas directing an older boy to set off fireworks.
Lucas saw Samuele out and ran over with a smile.
"Samuel, look, isn''t it beautiful? This is my gift to Mommy and my little brother or sister in her belly!"
"Gift my ass!"
Samuel directly clunked Lucas on his forehead.
"Do you know that you almost scared the baby in your mother''s belly?"
"What! I just wanted to surprise you and Mommy. Why did you hit me?"
Lucas scrunched up his nose and touched his head, saying in an injured voice.
Samuel took a deep breath and told himself that this naughty child in front of him was his own, his own,
his own.
Mark couldn''t help but pull Nicole out to take a look because Samuel hadn''t been back for a long time.
When he saw Lucas, he was stunned.
"Why are you back?"
"I came back by car. I asked the captain for leave."
As Lucas saw Mark, he immediately stood upright and gave a military salute.
"Commander!"
"Alright, put your hand down now. This is at home, don''t do this."
Nicole was very happy to see Lucas.
"Lucas? Hurry up and let Mommy have a look. Little brat, you don''t even call me. I miss you so much!"
"Mommy, I miss you too."
Lucas ran to Nicole quickly and hugged her tightly.
"Mommy, Samuel bullied me!"
Lucas directlyined.
Nicole paused for a moment and asked, "What''s wrong?"
"This brat was setting off fireworks outside the door without letting us know. Didn''t he scare you? I just
flicked him on his forehead."
Samuel quickly recounted what had happened.
However, Lucas said a little defensively, "I''m celebrating for Mommy and the baby in her belly. How can
you hit me for that? Mommy, he is such a bully."
As he spoke, Lucas looked at Nicole in grievance, his eyes flickering.
His expression broke Nicole''s heart. It had been such a long time since she saw Lucas. She didn''t
know how much she missed her son. Now seeing him looking at her like this, she hurriedly red at
Samuel.
"You are a grown man. Lucas is so young. What does he know? Anyway, he meant good. Fireworks
are very nice. Mommy likes them! Come here, let Mommy give you a hug!"
As Nicole spoke, she crouched down to hug Lucas. Lucas also opened his arms and waited for
Nicole''s hug.
At this time, Samuel and Mark stepped forward at the same time.
"Nicole, don''t move."
"Nicole, you can''t hug him! How can you hug him like this?"
The two men were so nervous that Lucas was frightened.
"Mommy, what''s wrong with you?"
Nicole believed that these two men were simply making too much of a fuss.
"I''m fine. I''m just pregnant. Do you guys need to do this? When I was pregnant with Lucas and Zoe five
years ago, I worked three jobs a day. They were born safe and sound anyway?"
Nicole said and didn''t look at them. She directly picked up Lucas and happily asked, "Could Mommy
cook something delicious for you?"
"Yes, please."
"Are you going to leave any time soon?"
"Yes. I''m back for just one day."
Lucas and Nicole smiled as they walked in, not even looking at Samuel and Mark.
When the two men saw that they werepletely ignored, they looked at each other and smiled
helplessly. Then, they gave each other a cigarette.
"When Nicole was pregnant five years ago, I really didn''t know how hard it was for her. I don''t want to
investigate now because I''m scared. I''m scared that I''ll hate myself even more after I do it. But when I
heard what she said just now, I realize that what I missed in my life was not just the birth of my children,
but all of Nicole''s pregnancy. I''ll send someone to investigateter. No matter what, I should know what
happened to her five years ago."
Samuel''s words calmed down Mark''s anger.
"My niece suffered so much for you five years ago. If you upset her once again, I tell you, our entire
family will see to it that you pay the price. Don''t think that you can bully Nicole as you want."
"I know, Uncle Mark."
When Samuel and Mark were smoking outside, Nicole carried Lucas back to the hall.
"Lucas, why have you been staying in the army? Aren''t you nning toe back?"
Nicole still hoped that her son would be by her side. This brat had apanied her for the past five
years. Now she returned, but she could not see Lucas. Nicole was really not ustomed to it.
Lucas raised his arms to wrap around Nicole''s neck and said in a pleading tone, "Mommy, I like the
green barracks very much. Grandpa Mark said that I am a child of the military family. I can go to
elementary school, junior high school, high school or even military academy directly. Mommy, I want to
stay there, okay?"
This was not the first time that Lucas had expressed his yearning and liking for the military base. Last
time, his mind was set on medicine for some other reason. However, when he was trained to be a
military doctor, it became increasingly clear that he belonged to the army.
As Nicole looked at her son''s earnest gaze, how could she have the heart to refuse him?
However, Nicole was reluctant to leave Lucas to the military base at such a young age without his
parents. In the future, he might even go to the battlefield like his father.
"Do you have to be in the military base? We can go there for holidays in the winter or summer. Don''t
you want to stay by my side?"
"Of course, it''s good to stay by Mommy''s side, but you have Joseph, Zoe, and soon a younger brother
or sister with you. Besides, if I miss you, I cane back during the winter and summer vacation,
right? I haven''t told you about this. There is an instructor. He''s so good withputer. The things he
does, I can''t decipher them. I want to learn from him."
Lucas was a very assertive child who knew what he was doing. Nicole knew this.
Seeing her son being so resolute, how reluctant Nicole was let him go, she would like him to have what
he wanted.
She touched Lucas’ head and said, "I can promise you, but you also have to promise me that you will
perhaps your younger brother and sister in the future, every one of you is very important to me. They
can''t rece you. You''re always my favorite son in my heart, do you know? "
"I know. I love Mommy too. I love you very much!"
Lucas directly pressed his little face against Nicole''s, being all cute and irresistible, which made Nicole
Samuel and Mark came in and saw this lovely picture.
Mark suddenly rubbed his nose and said, "Are you a man of your word?"
"What do you mean?"
Samuel was dumbfounded.
What was Mark talking about?

Mark red at him and whispered, "Didn''t you say you will have all the girls in yourpany to list
their best friends for me to date? I want to get married. No, to be exact, I want to have my own son."
Samuel looked at Mark as if he was seeing a madman and didn''t bother to say a word to him. He
directly came to Lucas and Nicole''s side.
"Brat, hurry up ande down. Mommy''s not fit to be that intimate with you."
"It''s fine. I like my son to be intimate with me."
Nicole smiled.
Only then did Lucas notice Samuel''s nervous expression and asked, "Mommy, you can''t hug me when
you are pregnant?"
"No, I can still hug you now, but not in a few months. So let Mommy care about you as much as I can."
While Nicole was being all sweet and loving with Lucas, Samuel stood aside, watching in rm.
Seeing this scene, Mark said directly, "I go to the kitchen to cook for you."
"Uncle Mark, are you a cookhouse soldier in the army?"
Mark red at Samuel and said, "Don''t think you are funny. This isn''t gonna happen again. It is you
who should be cooking more often in the house.
"I shall be d to cook for my wife and children. I''m a happy man."
Mark was depressed and turned to the kitchen.
Nicole immediatelyughed when she saw this.
"Can you stop making fun of Uncle Mark?"
"It''s for his own good. I want him to always remember that he is an old man. He needs to get married
early so as not to let the family down."
Samuel''s words made Lucas chuckle.
"He is known as the Iron Hell in the army for his sternness. It''s better to stay at home. If those children
know that I called him Grandpa Mark, they will sure sympathize with me."
Hearing her son describe Mark like this, Nicole felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
"Really?"
"Absolutely. Mommy, l will show you something good. I bought it specially for you."
Lucas mysteriously took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Nicole.
"What do you say?"
However, Samuel''s expression changed slightly when he saw this jade pendant.
"Where did you get it?"
"A man sold antiques at the roadside. I saw that this jade pendant was very nice, so I bought it. It cost
me a thousand, emptied my piggy bank."
Lucas kept on talking. But afraid that Nicole would be worried, he quickly smiled and added, "But it
doesn''t matter. It''s good that Mommy likes it."
"I like it very much. Thank you, Lucas!"
Nicole took the jade pendant from Lucas'' hand, but unexpectedly, Samuel took hold of it. He grabbed
Lucas and said, "Take me to the person who sold the jade pendant to you, quickly!"
"What''s wrong? Samuel, don''t frighten the child!"
Nicole noticed that Samuel''s expression was not good, so she hurriedly asked. Unfortunately, Samuel
did not have time to talk too much to her and directly took Lucas away from the Green''s.
