Don't Try to Escape, My Wife!

Chapter 1646 It’s Enough to Have a Soulmate in Life

“Dad, are you kidding me?”

Nicole couldn’t help but laugh.

Who was Xander?

The model of the military, and also the boss of the Don family. He just needed to give a command for

anything he wanted to do. There was no need to beg others.

Nicole thought that Xander was joking with her and couldn’t help but sit beside him.

Looking at his daughter, who just looked like himself, Xander suddenly said solemnly, “I really have

something to ask you.”

Such a severe expression startled Nicole.

“Dad, what do you want to do?”

“What are you thinking about?”

Xander smiled and stroked Nicole’s head.

He really hoped to see how Nicole grew up. He had mistreated his daughter the most for his life.

Feeling her father’s love, Nicole’s heart suddenly softened a lot.

“Dad, you scared me out of my wits making such a scene suddenly.”

Nicole gazed at Xander petulantly.

It felt pretty good being cherished by her daughter.

Xander said lovingly, “Nicole, the thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn’t get to watch you grow

up and be by your side. I was not able to stay in my hometown to take care of your grandmother when I

was at my most youthful. I have been loyal to my country all my life, but I have not done my filial duty.

The good thing is that you now have Samuel by your side to protect you, even if I’m nothing anymore,

you still have someone to fall back on.”

“Dad, why are you saying this again? No one blames you.”

Nicole knew that Xander was having a tough time in his heart.

He had still been alive for so many years, yet he was equivalent to death, not even attending Mrs.

Don’s funeral. When William was being framed and persecuted, there was nothing he could do about it.

Many people didn’t understand the complex feelings in Xander’s heart, but Nicole did.

She gently hugged Xander and said softly, “Dad, your suffering is all over now. You can live well with

mom in the future, and I will be by your side too.”

Xander’s gaze became more and more tender.

It felt so good to have a daughter. And if he could, he would want to live the kind of life Nicole was

talking about.

“Promise me, if I die one day, you must take good care of your mum for me.”

“Dad…”

Nicole jerked her head up, looking at him with great surprise.

“What do you want to do?”

“What can I do? My retirement has already been approved, and I’ll be an ordinary person in three days. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

I’m just afraid that if one day I pass away before your mother. She won’t be able to bear it. She’s a

person who has lived her whole life for love. She’s a paranoid. Don’t blame her.”

Xander’s words made Nicole feel that something wasn’t quite right, but she couldn’t find anything

wrong.

“Dad, tell me exactly what you want.”

“I just came to see you. After so many years, we haven’t really have a good chat. Also, I haven’t met

my two little grandsons yet. Do you have a picture? Let me have a look.”

Hearing what Xander said, Nicole hurriedly took out her phone and found the photos of her two sons

and handed them to him.

“Look, aren’t they cute?”

Nicole said.

Xander’s gaze was gentle and kind, looking at the two little babies who looked exactly the same in the

photo, except for their eye colour. He couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips.

“These two brats are sure to be a disaster when they grow up.”

“Dad, how can you say that about your own grandsons?”

Nicole pouted, instantly causing Xander to smile.

He looked good when he smiled.

Nicole suddenly felt that she had been fooling around for so long, and she really should have spent

some time with her parents. Although they couldn’t be with her because of their work, there was always

a way. But the good thing now was that Xander and Audrey would leave their jobs in three more days.

She would make sure they were by her side every day when the time came.

“Dad, do you know that my foster father was very strict with me when I was young. In fact, I was always

happy before I knew my true identity. Although I was not with my biological parents, my adoptive

parents were really good to me and thought of me in everything. Later on, it was because I had to

marry Samuel that they felt disgraced and distanced themselves from me, but I still felt that they loved

me the most at that time. But it wasn’t until their own daughter came along that I realized how

mysterious the kinship was. It really broke my heart that my adoptive parents, who doted on me and

loved me so much, would go to that extent with me for their own daughter. So dad, even if you and

mum didn’t grow up with me, I’m still your daughter and I won’t blame you.”

Nicole held Xander’s hand.

Xander nodded gratefully, then said to Nicole, “Tell me about the embarrassing things you did when

you were little.”

“Dad, why do you want to know those embarrassing things?”

Nicole became depressed, prompting Xander to laugh out loud.

“I just want to know if my daughter was as silly as other girls when she was little.”

“Dad…”

Nicole got depressed but still couldn’t help but talk about it.

Xander listened attentively as if he could feel Nicole’s growth from these things, hoping he could make

up for those lost years.

Nicole talked and laughed as time passed. It had been a long time since she had felt like a young child.

Now nestled in Xander’s arms, she was just like the young girl before she got married, talking to her

father about everything that had happened before, about how she and Olivia had met, about how many

people Olivia had offended at school for her.

Nicole became worried as she talked.

She didn’t know how Olivia was doing at the overseas battlefield now.

In such a chaotic place, even Samuel and Tim might not find Jacob, could Olivia?

Noticing Nicole’s drifting expression, Xander felt terrible for her.

“It’s enough to have a soulmate in life! Olivia is worth risking the rest of your life to make friends with.”

“Yes, Dad. Without Olivia, I wouldn’t be who I am now. But now that she’s at the overseas battlefield

while being pregnant, I don’t know if she’ll be able to find Jacob.”

Nicole’s worries could only be voiced in front of Xander now. And there was also the missing of her

youngest son, something she could not talk about.

These two incidents were weighing heavy on her heart, that she could hardly breathe.

Xander said heartily, “I have a way for Olivia to find Jacob.”

“Really? Dad, what plan do you have?”

Nicole instantly came to life.

However, Xander smiled and said, “It’s a secret. You’ll find out later. Do you have any clothes that

Jacob had worn?”

“How could I have Jacob’s clothes? But Olivia should have them. Dad, why are you asking this? Is it

really possible to find Jacob?”

Nicole’s blazing gaze had washed away the gloom in Xander’s heart, the feeling of having a direction in

his life again suddenly.
