âDavin Seet, am I really as bad as how you put me? I canât believe youâre looking down on me like this! It seems like I must go there and prove you wrong! Iâm sure Iâll be able to make them a couple by the end of my trip! Letâs go and visit Levant now!â
Davin cast her a contemptuous glance. Sheep is clearly bringing trouble upon herself. Judging from her unyielding attitude, it seems like thereâs nothing that can convince her to give up on intervening Levant and Tiffanyâs relationship.
âWhy arenât you moving?â
Just like that, David was badgered by Sheila to leave Imperial Garden together with her.
Along their journey, Davin cautioned her to be careful with what she was going to say to Levant later. A minor slip of the mouth could cost them their relationship, and Davin thought that was what Sheila should try her best to avoid.
âDonât worry, I know the drill.â
Despite the repeated assurances offered by Sheila, Davin still had his reservations. Knowing Sheila tended to speak her mind without giving it much thought, he fervently hoped that she would not turn out to be more of a hindrance than a help.
When they arrived at Levant Winery, Levant seemed rather surprised to see them. âWhat motivated you guys to pay me a visit?â
âAre you not happy to see us?â Sheila asked casually.
âOf course, weâre here with a purpose!â Davin said.
Levant cast them a fleeting glance before instructing the maid to serve them tea.
âThatâs more like it!â
With that, Davin and Sheila went inside and settled down on a beige-colored sofa. Without beating around the bush, Davin asked Levant about K Enterprise directly.
âThe successor to the owner of K Enterprise⦠Why are you suddenly so interested in him?â Levant was puzzled.
âWeâre just curious as to why the guy offered to be Ninaâs tutor on cosmetic skills. Also, we wonder whether he will be the right guy to teach Nina.â
Levant was taken aback by what he just heard. Why would the successor to the K Enterprise be willing to do such a humble job?
âI donât think heâs the right guy for the job. As far as I know, K Enterprise is the company that set the benchmark in the cosmetic industry. In fact, the company is even more outstanding than Seet Group in the industry. As the successor to such a prominent company, is it possible that he will have the time to teach Nina? Unless heâs got some ulterior motive.â
âEvan thought so too. So, I need your help investigating the ulterior motive he could have. After all, youâre well-connected in K Nation after staying there for more than thirty years.â
âAm I doing this as a favor for you or Evan?â Levant doubted while sizing Davin up.
âYouâre doing this as a favor for me. Evan has no idea Iâm coming here at all. After all, Nina is my niece, and I feel obligated to help her!â
Levant scoffed, âFine, Iâll do it for your sake. If itâs Evan who asks for my help, I wouldnât agree under any circumstances!â
Seeing how resentful Levant looked, Davin flashed him a sheepish grin. Do you really have to be so hostile toward Evan just because he decided on your behalf to let your son survive? By the time you become an old man, Iâm sure you will be grateful for Evan for the fact that you have a son to look after you!
âIs there anything else you need to tell me?â Levant asked Davin, who was absorbed in his own thoughts.
Just as Davin was about to say no, Sheila barged in on their conversation, âYes! Of course, we have other things to discuss with you!â
Solemnly, she stared straight into Levantâs eyes and asked, âDo you miss your son? Heâs a cute little boy whoâs really fun to be with.â
Without answering her, Levantâs expression hardened.
Being insensitive to his grumpiness, Sheila added, âDo you wish you could see your son and keep him company every single day of your life?â
Levant retained his silence, and his face looked ashen.
Still, Sheila pushed on, âSomeone once told me about the story of a father who loved his son a great deal. He snapped a photo of his son every single day from the moment he was born right until he reached adulthood. On the day his son turned eighteen, he arranged all the photos in sequence and observed the growth of his son. Watching that is going to be a hell lot more heartwarming than any blockbuster movie. Donât you want to experience something like that?â
Levant started picturing how the entire process was going to be like. He agreed it would be quite a mind-blowing sight to look at all the photos eighteen years later.
Seeing that Levant was contemplating the idea, Sheila turned her persuasion on full voltage. âIn fact, you already have such a chance awaiting you to grab it. All you have to do is visit Tiffany and show her how much you care about her. I believe Tiffany will give you the chance to build a family with her!â
Say what? Show Tiffany how much I care about her? Dream on!
