Davin was speechless.
âSo you knew that they went together? Then you should know who they went to meet, right?â
Evan nodded. âTheyâre meeting Ninaâs teacher.â
âOh, so thatâs it. You shouldâve told me sooner. And here I am thinking that they went to meet some important business partner.â
âHe may not be as simple as you think.â
âHuh? What do you mean?â
Evan caught Davin up on everything that happened. Davin was so shocked that he slammed the table. âF*ck, how could this happen? Do you think he has bad intentions?â
âWeâll know after they get back.â
Davin sighed. âShould I talk to Nina?â
âShe wonât listen to you.â
âRegardless, as her uncle, I should still try.â
With that, Davin made his way to Ninaâs bedroom.
He knocked on her door.
âNina, itâs Uncle Davin. Open the door, I need to talk to you about something.â
The door was shut firmly, and what met him was silence.
âNinaâ¦â
He knocked on the door a few more times but was met with silence once again. Seems like she has made up her mind not to talk to anyone. Davin could only walk downstairs feeling dejected.
In the café, Sheila suddenly became downcast and let out a sigh.
âWhatâs wrong?â Nicole put their coffee down on the table and looked at her curiously.
âHave you ever heard what happened between Davin and his ex-girlfriend?â
âNo.â Nicole had only heard half the story and was not very clear on the details, so she decided it was best not to run her mouth.
âI heard it from Sophia. His ex was really pitiful, and she even got a miscarriage to save him. Because of that, she lost the ability to reproduce, and she was afraid that this would upset him so she chose to leave him. Her love for him sure was so great and selfless. This made me think, why canât I be the same? Ever since I fell in love with him, Iâve never let him out of my sight, and wouldnât let him go over my dead body.â
âSo what? What matters is that youâre together with him now.â
âThen do you think Iâm too selfish in my love?â
âDo you want to be selfless, or do you want love?â Nicole asked.
âI want love!â Sheila answered determinately.
Nicole brought her coffee up and took a sip. âThen you donât need to overthink. Even Iâve done something similar before. When I had hallucinations, I was afraid of hurting Evan, so I chose to stay far away from him. Afterward, he made me realize that love isnât about arbitrarily deciding to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the other person, but rather, itâs about respecting the other partyâs wishes, and that any problem done so much for Davin, but youâve never given up. I think this is quality of your is something thatâs very hard to come by.â
âEver since I decided to be with Davin, I made up my mind that even if I were to die, I would want it to be with him.â
âYour love is really brave.â
Sheila laughed. âWell, Iâm not great or selfless. All I have, is bravery.â
At the Imperial Garden, Davin was pacing around in the living room, anxiously awaiting Sheilaâs return.
âWhatâs going on? Why arenât they back yet?â
Evan looked at him, then to his watch. Theyâve sure been gone for a long time. âCall them.â
âLet me do it.â Davin immediately dialed Sheilaâs number.
When she saw that her husband was calling her, she immediately accepted the call.
âWhy arenât you back yet?â
âWhat? It has only been a while. Do you miss me already?â
âAs if! Hurry up and come back soon!â Davin urged impatiently.
ââm not done enjoying myself yet!â Sheila imitated him.
Enjoying herself?
After meeting Chris, sheâs out enjoying herself again?
