Nicole lifted her head to look at him with smiling crescent eyes. âItâs fine. You donât need to trouble yourself with that. Now, I think the best thing is simply to be with you and our kids. I want all of us to live healthy and happy lives together.â
âYou will. Weâll be together forever,â Evan reassured.
She smiled lovingly before she split another piece of chestnut cookies and fed it to him.
He split his cookie and fed it to Nicole before he bit down on his own half and chewed, mumbling, âTasty.â
When Nina walked down the stairs, planning to ask her father about the press conference, she was greeted by the loving sight. She froze. Mommy and Daddy are actually displaying affection! How happy they look!
Unable to bring herself to interrupt them, she turned and went back upstairs.
Maya was surprised to see her sister return so quickly.
âYouâve already asked Daddy?â
âNo. Mommy and Daddy look so happy downstairs now. I didnât want to interrupt them.â
Huh?
Ninaâs words piqued Mayaâs curiosity. So, the latter walked out of her room to look down the stairs. Daddyâs feeding Mommy cookies. How sweet.
Although it was challenging for her mother and father to spend time together, they truly looked blissful whenever they were around each other. At that moment, Maya decided to find a man who would love his wife dearly, like her father.
Meanwhile, Nicole, whose heart was leaping in happiness, raised her head to see Maya looking at the two jealously. The young girl seemed immersed in watching her parents.
Nicole called out, âMaya, is there anything Mommy can help you with?â
Regaining her senses, Maya froze before she quickly shook her head. âNothing. Daddy, Mommy, continue with whatever you were doing.â At that, she grinned and went back to her room.
Nicole looked at Evan, who had another cookie in his hand. âDonât feed me anymore. Iâll full, and weâre about to eat soon.â
âOkay. Weâll continue another time.â
He then took a piece of tissue to clean his hands. Abruptly recalling Nicoleâs earlier call to him, he asked, âNicole, did Levant say anything when he saw you today?â
After a quick thought, the woman replied, âHe did. He said he came to visit me, but you stopped him every time.â
Evan scoffed under his breath. I knew Levant would tell Nicole about it.
âWhat else?â he queried.
Nicole scavenged her mind again. âBoth Sheila and I think Levant needs to be taught a lesson. Tiffany is a good girl, and he shouldnât do such horrible things to her. Youâve done a great thing helping them keep the baby today.â
Evan was pleased to hear those words.
He, too, thought that Levant needed to be taught a lesson.
âYou donât need to be in a hurry. The kid in Tiffany will teach him a lesson. Youâll see.â
Nicole nodded before worry crept into her eyes. âCan you send someone to protect Tiffany secretly? Iâm worried Levant will find out she didnât abort the baby and force her to go through an abortion again.â
Mulling over her words, he reassured, âDonât worry. Iâll work on it.â
Five days later, Evan received news that Tiffany had gone missing.
âWhatâs going on?â he questioned John.
âMr. Seet, she disappeared last night, but we only found out about it this morning. Iâm sure she didnât leave on her own accord because all her things are still in the room, including her packed suitcase.â
âSomeone took her away?â
John nodded.
Who would take Tiffany away?
Immediately, Evan thought of Levant. He instantly instructed John to check Levant Winery.
After checking, the man confirmed, âMr. Seet, the one who took Tiffany away wasnât Levant. The man has been in a grim mood recently, and he has never taken a step out of Levant Winery. I donât think he knows about her disappearance yet.â
Then who could have done such a thing?
Who else would take Tiffany away when sheâs pregnant?
âKeep investigating.â
âYes, Mr. Seet.â
âAlso, donât tell Mrs. Seet about this.â
