As her sister, Nina was worried about Maya.
Maya fished a shrimp chip out and fed it to Davin. Her action got him to take a shining on her. âLittle girl, youâre so kind. How about you come home with me and marry my nephew, Kyle? Heâs very aloof and I worry that he wonât be able to find a wife.â
Maya shook her head without hesitation.
âYou donât want to? My family is very wealthy. Youâll be able to eat shrimp chips every day. All kinds of shrimp chips.â
âEnough, stop trying to convince her. Sheâll never be Kyleâs wife!â
âAre you unsatisfied with the Seet family?â
Davin chuckled. Joking around with Nicole lifted his spirits.
âNot at all. Itâs just that theyâre biological siblings. Do you still want them to get married?â
Now that he knows about Juanâs existence, heâs sure to dig deeper. If I canât keep this under wraps anymore, I might as well be upfront with him. I might be able to convince him to keep this from Evan.
Letâs give this a shot and pray for the best.
Davin stared at her with surprised disbelief. âWhat? Biological⦠siblings? Youâre taking this joke too far!â
âIâm not joking. Itâs true!â
Nicole regarded Davin solemnly.
The gears in Davinâs head turned. How can Dr. Tussaudâs daughter be Kyleâs biological sister?
Could it beâ¦
His eyes widened and he looked Nicole up and down. This is too ridiculous.
âItâs true. Kyle is our brother.â
Maya gazed at Davin. Her face was utterly free of malice.
âReally?â
Davin locked his gaze onto Juan. Heâs practically the carbon copy of Kyle. One doesnât even need a DNA test to be convinced that theyâre brothers.
But these two little girls bear no resemblance to Kyle or Evan.
So by siblings they must meanâ¦
âDr. Tussaud, do you mean to say that Kyle and your daughters have the same mother but different father?â
Before Nicole could reply, Maya shook her head and responded, âNo. Weâre all biological siblings. Our daddy is the mean Evan Seet!â
Mean Evan Seet?
The way she addressed Evan amused and appalled Davin. Evan is known as the Cold Devil amongst his business peers. Who knew even children think of him the same way?
They even called him mean.
I wonder what the powerful Mr. Seet would think of being described in such a manner!
âDonât speak that way, Maya.â
Nicole stroked Mayaâs head and pulled her to the side. She looked at Davin with a hint of embarrassment.
âChildren have no control over their mouth. Please donât hold it against them. However, the fact is that Maya, Nina, and Juan are your brotherâs children!â
Davin gazed at the three children in astonishment. He tentatively asked, âDr. Tussaud, did you gave birth once or twice?â
âOnce. Theyâre quadruplets.â
âWowâ¦â
Davinâs jaw fell open and he let out a shocked sound.
I canât believe it!
Quadruplets! Go Evan!
If this is true, this has to be an earth-shattering revelation!
Trying to process this admission was overloading his brain.
âDr. Tussaud, whatâs going on? Please take your time to explain. Just how many children does Evan have? This is too shocking! This⦠This isâ¦â
Davinâs head was spinning and he soon trailed off.
âIâll go prepare some tea. Then Iâll tell you everything.â
Nicole quickly tried to formulate a way to elucidate the situation to him while getting him on her side. She needed to convince him to keep the existence of the three children a secret from Evan.
âThank you doctor⦠I mean, thank you, sister-in-law!â
Hearing him call her sister-in-law put Nicole on edge.
âI think itâs best if you stick to calling me Tussaud. Or, you can also call me Ms. Lane.â
Ms. Lane?
Davin suddenly remembered his brotherâs search for someone a few years ago. The woman he was looking for also seemed to be known as Ms. Lane.
