Chapter 1077: Chapter 1104

After thinking about it carefully, Sheila said. “Nicole, I don’t think we can be sure about that. Since Nina has a crush on him, I think he might just have did something to hook her in.”

“I’ve met him before. I don’t think he would do anything like that.”

“It’s too early to say. We’ll investigate it carefully when we meet him.”

Nicole nodded. “He’s still Nina’s teacher, after all. We still have to be polite.”

“If he really is a qualified teacher, then we should give him the due respect. But if he has ill intentions, then we’ll have to teach him a lesson so that he won’t dare to get close to Nina ever again!”

“Mm.” Nicole nodded.

When they got to Chris’ house, Sheila knocked on the door bluntly.

Chris was surprised to see the two of them and was stunned for a second before he asked, “Mrs. Seet, why are you here?”

“Can we talk to you?” Nicole asked.

Chris thought about it for a while and nodded.

As they got to the living room, Sheila was staring a hole into Chris’ back, as if she were trying to figure out everything about him from just looking at him.

“Please, sit,” Chris said.

The two women sat on the cream sofa, with Chris sitting opposite them. Nicole did not even get a chance to say a word when Chris shot out, “I just got a call that Mr. Seet has dismissed me from my position as Nina’s teacher. Can I ask why?”

Nicole hesitated for a while. Since I came here to iron things out, I should get everything out in the open.

“B-Because Nina has feelings for you. She’s still an innocent child who doesn’t know anything about love, so as parents, we’re naturally worried about her. I hope you understand.”

“Oh, is that so?” Chris muttered.

“By the way, I want to know if you are married or do you have a girlfriend?”

Chris hesitated before answering, “No, I’m not. I used to have one, but we broke up. I’m still single.”

He’s single?

Nicole’s heart did a complete somersault. “Then… You don’t have any feelings for Nina, right? She’s still a child, after all.”

“I do like her personality,” Chris said slowly. After he said those words, he fell silent.

Nicole and Sheila looked at each other. That’s such an ambiguous answer. “I like her personality”? So does he have feelings for her or not?

Sheila, being her straightforward self, slammed the table with a bang! ”Don’t beat around the bush. Do you have feelings for Nina? If you don’t, then tell Nina clearly.”

Chris smiled with disdain. “That’s my business. And whether I tell her is my own business as well. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to talk to me like that?”

“What do you mean inappropriate? So you’re in the right for getting Nina to have a crush on you?”

“I didn’t do anything to influence her to have feelings for me. I find it hard to control my own feelings, what more someone else’s feelings.”

Nicole was starting to feel that what he said made sense.

He really isn’t easy to get through to. Sheila sized him up. “But you’re not good enough for Nina. If you have such intentions, then I suggest you give them up as soon as possible.”

“I think what you’re really after is for Nina to give up on me, am I right?”

Sheila froze. “That’s right. That’s what we’re here for.”

Chris shot a glance at her and did not say another word.

Nicole decided to speak up. “Chris, for now, let’s not discuss whether you and Nina and suited to be together. Nina’s still in her innocent puberty stage, while you’ve already reached the age to get married. If you like her, then you’ll have to wait many years for her. Nobody can say for sure that Nina’s feelings towards you won’t change in those years. If she ends up falling out of love with you, then those years would be wasted.

Besides, she hasn’t even started her career yet. Her father has planned things out for her, and I’m sure you know of her talents. With the support of the Seet Group couple with her own abilities, I’m sure she would be able to reach great heights in her career. She’ll get to meet many new people and change as she matures. Therefore, I don’t want her to define her feelings so early in her life. It’ll be risky for you, as well.”
