Levant sensed the disdain in the scornful look in her eyes. When he wanted to retaliate, he reminded himself that there was no point as he could never win an argument against them. Argh⦠Fine! Iâll bear with this for nowâ¦
âIâve not seen her for quite some time. We can visit her together when youâre free,â Nicole said.
Sheila replied, âSure, Nicole. She misses you as well and has been commending your abilities to raise three children yourself. Moreover, she even mentioned that she wants to learn from you.â
Just then, Maya entered the room, âThe food is ready. I guarantee that youâll like it!â
Hearing that, Davin became excited, âThatâs great, Maya! Youâre the best! Letâs all go and enjoy our meals. Iâm starving!â
After that, Sheila stood up and followed Davin towards the dining room. However, when they passed by Levant, they stopped in their tracks.
âWeâre going have dinner now, so you should head back,â Sheila said.
âSee you,â Davin added.
Looking at Sheila and Davin walking away from him, Levantâs facial expression turned sour immediately. Damn it! Why didnât they invite me for dinner? Rude!
Then, Evan and Nicole stood up and headed towards the dining room as well. Once again, when they passed by Levant, Nicole halted and wanted to invite him to dinner. However, Evan stopped her before she could say anything.
The corner of Evanâs delicate lips raised into a curve, âHave a good trip back!â As he finished his sentence, he dragged Nicoleâs hand and continued heading straight to the dining room.
Levant stood in place and swallowed his anger. This is outrageous. They are all chasing me away! Donât they care about how I feel?
If I leave now, does it mean that Iâm weak?
That canât happen. I must join this dinner!
He took out his phone and headed out.
In the dining room, Davin was observing Levantâs movements and noticed that he was heading towards the courtyard. He was amazed at how Levant handled the situation. Thus, he quickly asked, âHe really left. Is he mad?â
Yet, Sheila brushed him off, âLet him be! Well, if you ask me, he should take it like a man.â
She couldnât help but think about Tiffanyâs struggle with managing the company and taking care of her child. With that, her resentment towards Levant became even more evident.
Originally, she had always felt that Tiffany was not worthy to be with Levant. For this reason, she vehemently opposed their relationship from the beginning. However, her perspective changed when she got to know Tiffany better. Now, she thought that Levant was not befitting to be with Tiffany. Even if Tiffany did not end up with Levant and had a child with her, she could still find a suitable partner in the future!
Therefore, the plan to matchmake them could be temporarily canceled.
On the other hand, Nicole felt that it was rude to treat Levant in such a manner. She looked at the table that was filled with exquisite and delicious dishes and asked, âWhy donât we ask the maids to invite him to join us. Thereâs enough food for everyone.â
As if she didnât utter a single word, Evan scooped some chicken and put them in Nicoleâs bowl. Following that, he added some other dishes and said, âLetâs eat!â
Looking at Evan in disbelief, Nicole knew that he was ignoring her because he didnât want to invite Levant to dinner.
On the other hand, Davin understood Evanâs intention and chuckled joyfully, âNicole, donât worry about that. Iâm a fast eater, and Sheila can eat a lot! Have some for yourself before we finish them all.â
Sheila went along with him, âThatâs right. The dishes look very appetizing, especially the prawns! Maya is a great chef!â
Since everyone was against the idea, Nicole didnât pursue it any further. After a while, Maya walked towards her and said, âIâve sent the food up to Nina. Mommy, donât worry and enjoy your meal.â
Nicole nodded in agreement. Just when she was about to start eating, Levant suddenly returned and entered the dining room.
âWhy are you still here?â Davin asked.
Levant snarkily replied, âDid you all think Iâd leave that easily? Of course not! By the way, Sophia asked you all to wait for her as sheâll be reaching soon.â
What?
Sophia is coming?
Everyone was in shock.
Davin pointed his finger towards Levant, âI knew it! I knew youâre up to no good! But why would you ask my Mom to come?â
