Davin waved his hand in front of Blakeâs eyes.
Snapped out of his trance, Blake answered sluggishly, âThe chubby one.â
âItâs Maya?â
A smile spread across Davinâs face. This little girl is adorable. She even treated me to shrimp crackers at the slum before. I have to reward her, so that sheâll continue describing our arrogant president with more creative words.
âWhat was Evanâs reaction at that time?â
Just as Davin was prying information out of Blake, they saw Nicole walking downstairs with her luggage while muttering in rage.
Whatâs going on? Is she leaving?
Davin raised his brows in shock while a mystified look appeared on Blakeâs face. After exchanging glances, they hurriedly approached her.
âMs. Lane, what are you doing?â
âIâm leaving.â
âWhy?â Davin asked in doubt.
Nicole refused to tell him. âAsk your brother.â With that said, she walked away with her luggage.
Neither Blake nor Davin knew the root cause of her departure, thinking that it was about Maya and Ninaâs kindergarten.
Davin was stunned for a split second, then he promptly advised her, âDonât worry, Nicole. Iâll make the arrangements for Maya and Nina. I promise the two girls will start attending the Grant Kindergarten tomorrow, if not today. We canât blame Evan, because he doesnât know that Maya and Nina areâ¦â Theyâre his daughter.
Before Davin finished talking, Nicole turned to glare at him. Her piercing gaze was full of warning and threat, and Davin bit his tongue right away.
Why is he talking about this in front of Blake? Is he trying to hint everyone who Maya and Ninaâs dad is? Thatâll definitely put me in a tight spot!
âMy daughters are okay with attending regular kindergarten. Thereâs no need to transfer them anywhere else.â
âNo, weâll have to transfer them anyway. Please calm downâ¦â Davin paused abruptly and peeked at Blake. âGo ahead and get back to work. Iâll talk to her.â
âOkay, Sir. Please persuade Ms. Lane to stay. Both Kyle and Juan are very fond of her as well.â
âI got it. Do what you need to do.â
Then Blake walked away, leaving only Davin and Nicole in the living room. Only then the two started talking freely.
âNicole, why donât you tell Evan that heâs Maya and Ninaâs dad? Then all of you can truly reunite as a family. Iâm sure Evan will treat all his children equally. Heâ¦â
âLet me warn you. If Evan ever gets to know that Maya and Nina are his daughters, Iâll make you regret it,â Nicole interrupted Davin in mid-sentence.
âWhy? You both are already staying together. The next step should beâ¦â
âSo what if weâre staying together? Evan just kicked me out. He even wants to snatch Juanâs custody from me. Evan Seet is such a jerk!â
Nicole gritted her teeth in fury.
âWhat? Juanâs custody?â This news caught Davin by surprise.
Itâs only been two days since I, the genius matchmaker, was away from the Hillside Villa. I wanted them to spend more quality time together as a family, so that Evan and Nicole could bond with one another. How did it turn out this wayâ¦?
âDonât worry, Nicole. Iâll always be on your side.â
Nicole lifted her head to look at him. âItâs fine to have you on my side, but donât you ever address me as your sister-in-law again.â
Davin gulped and went speechless.
Sophia called me last night asking about Evan and Nicoleâs relationship, and I assured her that sheâll get their wedding invitation when she returns from her vacation. I even asked her for a global limited-edition supercar as a reward.
But looks like, it was all just a wishful thinking.
If the two become estranged from each other, Sophia will think that I lied to her, then sheâll not let me off the hook.
Sigh⦠Davin heaved a sigh in exasperation.
Evan, why do you drag me down with you every time you stir up trouble?
Thatâs just my luck.
