Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1474

Jayden was accused of conspiring to usurp the throne. Later, Zayn became the King as the only surviving descendant of the Freeman family. Since then, the civil war in Country F ended.

Phoenix was shocked that everything happened so quickly. After Davon returned, he said nothing and just dotingly touched her head. Then he took Laurence's blood to the laboratory and started his research.

He felt that he had nothing to do with situations in Country F anymore.

Leo was sentenced to life imprisonment. Phoenix visited him as a relative.

She never thought that King Leo, who was once masterful, would be in such a miserable state now. He needed someone to take care of him when he went to the bathroom. But his carer didn't work hard at all. Leo had suffered abuse but it wasn't enough to kill him soon.

This should be the cruelest punishment for him. He had to repent and atone for his sins alive.

Phoenix felt that she might be cold-blooded because she seemed to be like a stranger the moment she saw Leo. Perhaps when Leo sentenced her mother to death, she became as cold as stones.

Once she walked out of the prison, she saw a person in white by the car waiting for her.

Suddenly, she was enveloped with warmth. Her bad memories and sadness seemed to dissipate with the appearance of that person.

"Davon!"

Phoenix suddenly shouted, her eyes shining with delight and tears.

Davon suddenly opened his arms. Phoenix jumped into his arms like a child. He watched her and hugged her tightly, "Let's go home."

"Alright, home."

Phoenix never knew that one day, she would feel warmth and delight when hearing the word "home". She had always thought that home was a cold place. Now, Davon changed her thoughts.

After they returned to the Sawyer's, Kim had begun to take over the Sawyer's business. Because of their special relationship with Zayn, the Sawyer family had offered half of their property to support Zayn to issue the new policies which could recover the country.

Zayn kept his promise. He helped the Sawyer family to become the leader of the four great families.

Davon saw Zayn again on the third day after the civil war finished.

Davon suddenly came to visit Zayn at night. Zayn seemed to have known about it and asked all guards to go.

"You are here."

Zayn looked at Davon who was related to him. He knew that everything he got was the result of Davon's cooperation and Samuel's support.

He was grateful to Davon, but he didn't know how to face Davon. It made him feel uncomfortable.

Davon didn't care about Zayn's thoughts, and he directly went to the wine cabinet and poured a bottle of red wine for himself.

"Hey, that's the last one in my collection."

Zayn frowned and felt somewhat distressed.

Davon was really a devil!

Every time, Davon would grab things he valued most.

Davon smiled mischievously.

"I won't drink it unless it is the last bottle."

"You are simply..."

"What?"

Davon raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked extremely similar to Sally.

In Zayn's limited memories, Sally's raised eyebrows and smile impressed him most.

His mother probably liked him.

Zayn thought to himself. He became serious.

Seeing Zayn, Davon couldn't help but sigh, "You still can't get over it?"

"I'm not. I will live a better and longer life than you all."

Hearing his childish words, Davon laughed.

"Alright, fine. You'll live the longest. When the time comes, please make sure my funeral is grand, okay?"

"Shut up. What are you talking about?"

Zayn was boiling with rage.

He had been alone all his life. How could he see his relatives die ahead of him?

How unfair!

"You have to die after me. Then I don't have to watch my relatives leave me."

Hearing that, Davon felt bad for Zayn.

Although they were adults, Davon knew that they had little time together.

Davon took a step forward and hugged Zayn tightly. Zayn was a little embarrassed.

"What are you doing? Let go of me."

"Just hug me. I've rarely hugged you over the years. And I haven't go much chance to hang out with you and tease you. I could feel something is missing."

The first half of Davon's sentence brought Zayn great joy, but it was easily destroyed by the latter half.

"Tease me? What are you thinking?"

He freed himself from Davon's arms and even patted himself in disgust. Davon was immediately amused by his expression.

"Dear Zayn, I heard that you like men?"

Davon's question frightened Zayn so much that he suddenly took a step back.

"What do you want to do?"

Zayn's vigilance made Davon want to play a trick on him.

"How about I stay with you for a while?"

"Fuck off!"

His words startled Zayn. He immediately posed for defense and tried his best to stop Davon from stepping forward.

Davon laughed.

"Why that dramatic reaction? I am just joking."

Zayn felt that he couldn't stay with Davon anymore. He hurriedly said, "If you have something to say, just get to the point."

"You don't like me?"

As Davon spoke, he was about to move forward again. It scared Zayn and he was about to jump out of the window.

"Stay away from me!"

He was indeed afraid of Davon.

What the hell?

After all, he was now the King of Country F. Everyone would be afraid of him. Now, he was forced to jump out of the window by Davon!

Seeing that Zayn was so frightened, Davon stopped teasing. Davon picked up his wine cup and took a sip.

"It tastes great."

Zayn felt pain again.

"Drink less."

He came to Davon and grabbed the bottle back. Looking at Zayn, Davon couldn't help but laugh.

"You are now the King of Country F. Why do you care about a bottle of wine?"

"The Civil War consumed me too much. My country won't be able to recover and flourish for at least three years. The treasury is empty. Besides, I was forced to be the King. How can I have that much money?"

Thinking of this, Zayn had a headache.

People admired him as he finally became the King. But he knew that the problems left were too complicated to solve. In the past, Leo and Jayden had emptied the treasury for military purposes. Now Zayn had to covet the ore veins of Country Z.

Now, Country F was in short of money. And Zayn felt very anxious.

Davon smiled, "Silly boy. You already have the investors by your side."

"Where? Although you enjoy the name of the Sawyer family, the family has given half of their assets to support me. Do you want to empty the entire Sawyer family?"

Zayn glared at Davon with disdain. He didn't know when the previous unease disappeared.

Davon placed his hand on Zayn's shoulder, causing Zayn to stiffen.

"Just say what you want to say. Get your hand off me."

"You don't understand. This is called bromance."

"Bullshit. Let go of me."

Zayn failed to free himself.

Davon tightly wrapped his arms around Zayn's shoulders and smiled, "People say you like men. But I couldn't agree."

"You're my brother. Are you the same as others?"

He said the word brother so naturally that he was surprised.

After saying that, Zayn couldn't help but blush.

He looked so cute.

Davon wanted to touch Zayn's ears.

Davon felt a little guilty about Zayn. Now Zayn was so shy and awkward that Davon wished he could bring him home and fool around with him every day.

"Isn't Pedro close to you? Stop talking nonsense. I'm a doctor. I know better than you that you are straight. It's because you rely too much on Pedro that you want to be with him for your life. Pedro has a younger sister. If you feel that you owe him, then take good care of her."

Zayn froze and then nodded.

"Right. By the way, there's a research facility under Jayden's house. Laurence is there. I sent people there a few days ago. Now everything is settled, just get Laurence back. He needs a long time to recover."

Only then did Davon remember his mission.

Zayn paused and whispered, "Did you send custodians there?"

"Yes. What's wrong?"

Davon became nervous.

"Has something happened to Laurence?"

"He's gone."

Hearing that, Davon became alert.

"How is that possible? My people have been guarding all the exits. There will definitely be no chance for him."

Zayn poured himself a glass of red wine and whispered, "At the beginning, I controlled the Military Research Institute. At that time, Laurence was still asleep. I thought that it shouldn't be any problem, so I started to implement our plan. After I assassinated Jayden and cleaned up the mess, I planned to bring Laurence back. But he disappeared! You're all busy then, so I didn't inform you. I've sent someone to look for him. No news yet."

Davon became solemn.

"Our plan is perfect. Moreover, the whole Country F is guarded. Outsiders can't get in. It is likely that Laurence was taken away by a spy. Considering Laurence's ability, most people won't be able to take him away. He must be drugged."

"Then what should we do now?"

Zayn was also upset.

Laurence was Nicole's best friend and also a person that Samuel had told Zayn to take good care of. He had suddenly disappeared. How could Zayn explain it to them?

Davon could not expect that. He whispered, "Currently, Country F needs to recover. The Green family and Don family are not short of money, so you can ask them to invest. Then, people will have reasons in coming here for confirmation. However, with people from the two families, we are more likely to find Laurence. At the same time, the people behind the scenes will also behave themselves."

Zayn froze. He felt that it was a good method.

"Okay, I'll do it now."

Before he could give the order, a guard ran over and hurriedly said, "My King, something bad happened."
