Chapter 1385 Angel In White
âUncle Davin, so you have been allowing Zayden to fight Joy all this while?â
Davin felt a little embarrassed at that question. He had reminded Zayden to be careful around Joy, as he was afraid that his son might be bullied by Joy, yet Zayden ratted him out.
What a disappointment Zayden is.
âNope. I did not teach him that,â Davin blurted out.
Everyone was looking at him oddly, and Maya said what was on her mind, âUncle Davin, how can you teach a kid to fight?â
âExactly! Youâve exposed yourself there,â John chimed in.
âI⦠I did not. John, stop adding fuel to the fire!â Davin refuted stubbornly.
Sheila glanced at Davin before helping him to explain himself. âYour uncle has only reminded Zayden so that Zayden wouldnât get bullied. He has never taught Zayden to bully other kids. All he did was teach Zayden to protect himself.â
âUncle Davin, clearly, your teaching is over the line. Look at what he did to Joy!â
âExactly. Uncle Davin, did you think Joy is capable of bullying Zayden?â
âIâm elder than him. I will protect Zayden instead of bullying him.â Joy blinked innocently.
âFine, fine. Itâs all my fault. I wonât teach Zayden to use that way anymore. From now on, Iâll teach him to be more loving. Is that okay?â
Joy gave it a thought before nodding her head.
Maya said, âThatâs more like it, Uncle Davin.â
Davin glanced at Maya. Is it wrong that I donât want my son to be bullied?
Once the incident was settled, Sally and Catherine walked over.
Juan was surprised to see her. âY-You⦠What are you doing here?â
âHow can I not come and congratulate Mrs. Seet on the opening of her hospital as your girlfriend?â
Clad in a white suit, Sally was smiling faintly at Juan. Her voice wasnât that loud, but it was firm.
Juan sized her up. She did not look like she came with a friendly intention.
The white suit on her made her look elegant and graceful. Juan couldnât help but suspect her, as she had once claimed that she was an orphan and that she had bought an old house with her savings.
Also, her smooth and delicate hands did not look like she had suffered through her childhood and early years.
Did she make up a miserable story to hide her true identity? Juan had a feeling that she wasnât as innocent as he thought she was.
âWe have accepted your wishes wholeheartedly. You may leave now.â
âJuan, how can you speak to Sally this way? Sheâs here to send blessings to Mommy. We should thank her for coming.â
âThank her? She came without bringing any gifts. If all she can offer is a sentence of blessings, then I shall thank her with this too. Thank you very much, Sally!â His tone was full of disdain.
âJuan!â Evan glared at him.
Juan looked up and met Evanâs frosty gaze. He immediately concealed his arrogance a little.
Sally wasnât at all affected by Juanâs words. She smiled faintly and said, âMrs. Seet, I did bring something for you today, but itâs not something valuable, and I hope you wonât mind it.â
âOf course not. I like whatever gifts you have for me.â
Sally handed over a delicate rectangular box to Nicole. âMrs. Seet, I drew this myself. Youâre like an angel in white to me, and Iâve decided to gift this painting to you. I hope you like it.â
âThank you!â
Nicole took over the box and rolled open the drawing. It was a painting of a woman in a white dress, resembling an angel descended from the heavens. She looked youthful, beautiful, and elegant.
