Chapter 1708 Familial Love

Tiffany let out an enigmatic smile. She knew very well that no matter how her relationship with Levant progressed, it would never be that of romantic love.

At most, it would just be two people seeking companionship in each other.

Despite that, she still nodded.

Seeing the state she was in, Sheila held her hand and said, “Actually, I feel that if we look at it objectively, Levant has his own strengths as well. Have you ever considered bearing him another child?”

Having another child with him?

That had never crossed Tiffany’s mind.

When she got pregnant back then, Levant had asked her to get an abortion. If not for her insistence, Luke would never have been born.

Even though a few years had passed, Tiffany still could not help but feel slightly upset whenever she thought about that.

Having another child would be equivalent to exposing the wound in her heart. As such, she was contented with just having Luke.

“I’ve never considered that.”

“Why don’t you think about it? Davin and I are considering having another baby as well.”

“You guys should do that. I’m… too busy.”

Sheila noticed that something was off with Tiffany as she spoke. Realizing that she might have been too nosy, she decided to stop persuading her. After all, having kids was a personal decision.

Tiffany glanced at her watch and remembered that she needed to attend an important meeting at the office. “I need to make a move first. I have some important matters to take care of back at the office.”

“Sure. Feel free to hit me up when you’re free.”

“All right.”

When Tiffany headed downstairs, Levant and Davin had also finished their discussion, so Tiffany and Levant left Imperial Garden together.

As Sheila watched the two of them walk away together, she asked Davin, “Look at them. They’re actually quite compatible with each other, don’t you think?”

Compatible?

Davin let out a sigh discreetly and replied, “It seems so on the surface, but there’s just something missing.”

“What’s missing?”

“Love!” he answered with certainty.

Pursing her lips, she said, “Actually, all romantic relationship ultimately develops into one of familial love. They’re just skipping the first step.”

“Skipping the first step?” Davin looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to say that.

“Yeah, isn’t it so?” Sheila asked in return.

“Is… it?” Inwardly, he doubted that a familial relationship that lacked romance would be the same as one that blossomed from romance.

“Is it not?” Sheila asked again, staring at the man with her big twinkly eyes.

Davin cleared his throat before replying, “That… makes some sense.”

However, he still felt that with the most important element lacking, there would always be something off about the dynamics between a couple.

“So, are we going to the hideout together at night?”

“We can’t go together. You have to reach slightly later than me.”

“Oh right. Everyone still thinks that we are at odds, so it might raise suspicions if we appear together. Don’t worry; I’ll play along!”

“Mmh, I intend to make a fortune tonight. Besides, I’m determined to take revenge by creating chaos at Steven’s hideout!”

After hearing Davin’s words, Sheila suddenly gave him a thumbs up and said, “You’re ambitious!”

“Of course!”

In truth, he felt that he could be slightly more ambitious by striving to take over Steven’s entire hideout.

Before that, Davin had felt that the underground palace was too cramped and even thought of paying Steven rent and requested that he move out temporarily. However, he might be able to make use of the current opportunity to achieve his goal.

Steven, just you wait and see. There’s going to be a good show tonight!

At the first sign of nightfall, Davin waltzed into the hideout, arousing the curiosity of those observing him in the shadows.

“Say, Mr. Davin still went to the underground palace after last night’s fight. Does this mean that he has really fallen out with his wife? What do you think?”

“We knew about last night’s incident only because it was trending on social media. Who knows if it’s true or fake?”

“It’s true. I’m sure about that. I have a friend who had personally witnessed the incident happening at the underground palace last night! Mr. Davin’s wife is even asking for a divorce.”

“Really?”

“Of course!”
