Chapter 1883 The Result Is Out
âI agree with Daddyâs assessment.â Kyle said. âIâll vote for Aunt Sheila too.â
Sheila glanced at Davin smugly. âThatâs three votes for me, Davin. Youâre not going to win unless Zayden, Juan, and Joy give you their votes.â
He felt crushed as it seemed like he was destined to lose.
Seeing how depressed he looked, Juan stood up and said, âIâll give you my vote, Uncle Davin! I donât think my voteâs going to do much, but Iâm willing to support you!â
âCongratulations on winning an encouraging vote!â Sheila exclaimed before looking at the children. âWho are you two voting for?â
Zayden swiftly swallowed the remaining snack into his belly and thought about it seriously. âI really like playing in the underground palace with Daddy, but Iâve eaten Mommyâs snacks. I donât know who to vote for! Itâs so hard to choose between Mommy and Daddy!â
âYou can vote for anyone you like, Zayden. Thereâs no need to take the snacks I gave you into consideration. I hope that you can form your own opinion and make a choice that you think is the best on your own.â
His big, clear eyes blinked a few times. âReally? Then Iâll vote for Daddy!â
Since Juan and Zayden had voted for me, Iâll be tied with Sheep if Joy votes for me too! Thereâs still hope! When Davin thought about that, his expression was lit up with hope again.
Then, he stared at Joy.
The results depended entirely on that child. âDo you think the underground palace is fun, Joy?â
Joy thought for a bit and nodded.
âHow about I build a new underground palace for you and Zayden to play in?â
âHow long will it take for the underground palace to be built, Uncle Davin?â
Davin scratched his head. âMaybe one to three years.â
Nina interjected, âOne to three years is extremely fast. If you want to build one like Stevenâs, youâll need around ten.â
He shot a glance at her. âIâm talking to Joy right now. Donât interrupt me.â
She pouted. âI feel like youâre misleading her instead of convincing her, Uncle Davin.â
âJoy is a little know-it-all. How can I mislead her? Besides, sheâs different from you. You immediately gave your aunt your vote when she bribed you. Joy isnât going to be bribed at all, even if Sheep gives her all the snacks she wants. Isnât that right, Joy?â
Joy snickered. âI want to give half of my vote to Aunt Sheila and you, Uncle Davin. I feel like Aunt Sheila can continue to invest in her movie while you use Stevenâs underground palace to make more money. Thereâs no need to choose when both of you can support each other!â
âThat was what I was thinking at first as well,â Nina added.
Maya glanced at her. âI can prove that was what Nina initially thought, but she was enticed to pick the movie.â
âAnd youâre going to tell me you arenât enticed? Why did you support Uncle Davin, then? Tell us, Uncle Davin. What benefits did you promise to give to Maya?â
Davin smiled. âThereâre no benefits involved. Maya voted for me because she had a deeper relationship with me.â
âI donât believe you. Maya always has a better relationship with Aunt Sheila. Sheâs the one who sent Maya back to Rose Garden when she got lost in the past. Thereâs no way Maya picked you if no benefits are involved.â
âFine, I admit it! Uncle Davin promised to give me ten percent of the share!â Maya stuck her tongue out.
âYou agreed to give him your vote for ten percent? Aunt Sheila can give you more!â
âItâs not only because of that. If it werenât for Uncle Davin, I wouldnât have met Wilbur. So, I wanted to thank him.â Maya blushed.
