Chapter 1469 Staying Over At Imperial Garden

Evan was stunned when he heard Joy’s words. “What? Why would I think that you’re just a dumb kid? Joy, you’re the smartest kid in the world!”

“Really? You’re not lying to me, right, Daddy?”

“Of course not.”

“Okay. Then, you’ll let me help you find Mommy. Please?” she pleaded while hugging him.

“Uncle Evan, I want to help out too! I promise both of us won’t cause you any trouble. Please trust that we’re only trying to help.” Zayden was tugging onto Evan’s sleeves, playing along.

“Evan, just let them be. Back then, Juan, Kyle, Nina, and Maya couldn’t stay idle too. It’s good to train them since they’re still young. I’ll get someone to look after them if you’re too worried.”

“That’s right, Evan. The two of them have been discussing non-stop about it on their way here. They were afraid that you wouldn’t let them stay. Just give them a chance. Who knows, they might even be of great help!”

“Daddy, you need to trust me. I can help,” Joy uttered.

“That’s right, Uncle Evan. We’ll help you,” Zayden uttered.

Upon hearing the trio’s words, Evan pondered for a while before agreeing. “Fine. However, the two of you need to be careful and refrain from doing anything dangerous,” he warned.

Joy and Zayden nodded in agreement when they had gotten Evan’s approval.

“We should get going since it’s getting late. Remember to call us if there’s anything. Davin has also sent some men to search for Nicole. We’ll keep in touch.”

“Okay, Mom. Let me send you off.”

After they left, Evan arranged for his servants to bring Joy and Zayden to bed.

“Zayden, do you want to sleep in Juan’s or Kyle’s bedroom?”

After pondering for a moment, Zayden looked at Evan shyly. “I… I… I want to sleep with Maya,” he stammered.

Evan was stunned.

“You’re a boy. Why would you want to sleep with Maya?” Joy was shocked as well.

“That’s because Daddy said that Maya and I are very similar. So, I think we’re like kindred spirits, and I like Maya a lot. Is it okay, Uncle Evan?”

After a moment of contemplation, Evan suggested, “Why don’t you ask her? You can sleep in her room if she agrees.”

Zayden nodded in response.

Then, Evan turned to look at Joy. “Why don’t you sleep with me tonight, little one?”

Shaking her head, she replied, “Daddy, I want to sleep with Nina tonight.”

“Nina’s not home because she’s on a business trip.” I wonder if Nina’s okay. Did the Hidden Masters find her?

“Then, I’ll sleep in Kyle’s room.”

“Okay. Go ahead and ask him.”

Joy nodded her head.

With that, the two of them dash toward Maya’s and Kyle’s rooms.

Zayden stood silently outside Maya’s bedroom. He hesitated when he was about to knock on her door.

What if Maya doesn’t want me to sleep in her room?

At that moment, his eyes darted around and landed on the maid doing chores.

He immediately thought of an idea and rushed toward her. “Uncle Evan had informed Maya to arrange the ingredients in the kitchen. I really need to use the bathroom. Can you go ahead and inform her?”

The maid did not think twice as she noticed how desperate he looked. Without hesitation, she agreed.

Maya appeared by the door when someone knocked on it. Looking at the maid, she asked, “What is it? Did someone hear from my mommy?”

“No, Mr. Seet had instructed you to arrange the ingredients in the kitchen.”

Maya was rendered speechless.

Since when did Daddy ask me to tidy up the ingredients in the kitchen?
