When the time comes and the family is finally together, Nina and Daddy wouldnât be like enemies anymore.
It would be so nice to have a happy family.
In order to achieve their goal, the kids gave the mission of watching Nicole to Nina and Maya. Then, they carefully planned their next step.
That night, when Evan came home from work, his eyes unknowingly looked towards the rose arbor.
Suddenly, a figure caught his attention.
The person had their heads low and was slowly pulling a water gunâs trigger to let the water in it drip onto a stone.
A scene instantly surfaced in Evanâs mind.
âWhat are you doing?â
âI heard that as long as I persevere, dripping water can wear through the stone. I wanted to try and see if itâs really true.â
He watched the little girl with her eyes sparkled and a smile on her face.
âIâll come every day in the future to drip water on this stone.â
As the memory came back to Evan, sorrow and bitterness washed over him. He began heading in her direction.
When he stopped in front of her, he asked in a low voice, âWhatâre you doing?â
Sylphiette froze and looked up at him with a sincere look in her eyes before she said, âI heard dripping water on a stone can wear through it. I wanted to try and see if it really works.â
With that said, she lowered her head again and watched as water dripped onto the stone.
The way Evan looked at Sylphiette gradually changed as if he saw hints of the silly girl from the past.
His lips curled up into a soft smile as he added, âItâs going to be a long life. Youâll definitely be able to see water wear through the stone.
Sylphietteâs eyes twinkled and she looked up at him with a serious look. âWill you watch it with me?â
Evan hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
It was the answer he gave the little girl back then.
He would be with her forever as they watched water wear through the stone.
âEvan~â
Sylphiette got up and stared at him excitedly.
She was wondering if she should hug him. Will he think Iâm not reserved if I hug him?
The person had reminded her. You have to be careful with every step you go. Always remember your goal.
âLetâs have dinner.â
Evanâs words interrupted her thoughts.
Sylphiette nodded and was about to follow Evan to the room when they heard a sweet and adorable voice.
âDaddy, Daddy, Mommy is looking for you.â
Juan panted as he ran to Evan.
âWhy is she looking for me?â
Evan looked at Juan with a puzzled look but the latter shook his head.
âI have no idea. It must be something important.â
Sylphiette thought about it and glanced at Evan with consideration. âYou should go take a look since Nicoleâs looking for you. Can I follow you? I heard sheâs sick. Maybe I can help.â
Evan nodded and they went to the rear house together.
Juan frowned as he watched the back of Sylphiette.
In his and Kyleâs plan, there was no Sylphiette in the picture.
This woman is pestering Daddy and itâs going to disrupt our plans! I have to think of something to chase her away.
Juan immediately ran towards the rear house. I have to talk to Kyle about this.
At the sight of Juanâs panicked state, Maya, who was eating shrimp chips, ask him curiously, âWhatâs wrong?â
She even kindly gave him a packet of shrimp chips and told him to eat some first to calm down.
Juan looked at Maya and drew up a plan in his mind. Should I let Maya pester Sylphiette?
But he was worried that Maya was too dumb and couldnât do it right. Then he thought of Nina.
âMaya, the witch, Sylphiette, is coming to the rear house with Daddy. Do you have anything in mind that can chase her away? Or maybe you should join hands with Nina.â
Maya blinked her huge eyes as she didnât think she was a match for Sylphiette.
She thought of Ninaâs words and replied, âJuan, Nina said the witch cursed Mommy and made her fall into the well so we should push her into a rubbish bin. Maybe Nina has a plan.â
Juan turned to look at Sylphiette and his dad who were walking towards them. Then he looked at Maya seriously. âIt doesnât matter if itâs you or Nina. As long as you can stop Sylphiette and not let her into Mommyâs room, Iâll give you five packets of shrimp chips and two hamburgers.â
