Chapter 394: Chapter 393

“I want to settle my scores one by one with you.”

As soon as those words escaped his mouth, he whipped out a piece of paper containing the paternity test result and dangled it in front of her. Recognizing what it was, Nicole was instantly dumbstruck

What drove him to take the paternity test in the first place?

“Nicole Lane, you secretly took my children away and deceived me the whole time. How are you supposed to make it up to me?”

Taken aback for a moment, she regained her wits and shoved him away.

“Mr. Seet, this is not how you settle a score! Since I’ve raised three of your children all by myself, how will you thank me instead?”

Hearing her confession finally, Evan was jubilant. He found it hard to keep up to hide his joy.

After pretending to ponder for a while, he asked, “What do you think is the best way to show my gratitude?”

Ah?

He doesn’t even argue, and immediately agrees to thank her?

What a sudden change in attitude!

Nicole was stunned by the sudden change and nearly lost her composure. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Give me some time to think about it.”

Something rang in her as she quickly added, “Also, I won’t hand over Nina and Maya to you! They are my life! I single-handedly raised them both with my sweat, blood, and tears! If you ever try to take them away, I’ll face you head-on! Mark my words! I’ll make them count!”

Seeing her stubborn face filled with resolve, Evan was at a loss momentarily. As he locked onto her uneasy gaze, he stretched out both his hands and forcefully pulled her into his tight embrace.

“I won’t ever separate them from you! In fact, you don’t have to think about how I should repay you anymore! I’ve already helped you do the thinking!”

“…” She was speechless, her mind blank from the suddenness of it all.

“From now on, I, including everything I have, will be yours!”

Having heard his words filled with such determination, Nicole was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Indescribable. Indistinguishable. It was difficult for her to even catch her breath.

A whirlpool of emotions in the midst of a maelstrom.

She suspected that she was dreaming.

Even in her dreams, she dared not even to think about such a wonderful thing befalling her.

“I will use my whole life to make up to you and the children!” Evan emphasized convincingly.

Right this moment, the floodgate opened as her eyes burst into tears.

It had been a long, tiring, wild ride. Her one drunken deed had led to one absurd encounter which led to a one-night-stand which led to the birth of a set of quadruplets…

She had been running away from reality, avoiding him, and never dared to ask him to make amends.

However, hearing his sincere words, she could not help but felt an embracing warmth in her heart.

Those simple words comforted all the difficulties and hardships she had suffered before.

But does she have the right to offer Evan this chance?

No. She is unworthy to deserve him!

“Evan, we are not compatible,” she sputtered unwillingly.

“Nonsense! We are a pair made in heaven!”

Looking at her tenderly, Evan soothed, “I forbid you to say such things from now on. I will settle everything. Don’t worry. Just leave everything to me.”

He perceived in his heart that Nicole loved him. And that was the only thing that mattered.

He knew what Nicole was worried about: his parents, the world, everything. But no matter! He would bear all things and endure everything! It would all work out in the end!

Seet Residence.

Jonathan Seet studied Nina and Maya carefully. No matter how he scrutinized he felt that both of them did not look like Evan at all.

Frowning, he looked questioningly at Sophia, “No problem with the paternity test?”

“John guarantees the authenticity. No problem!” Sophia decisively answered.

Jonathan was still in disbelieve. For Nicole to be giving birth to quadruplets was something very rare and incredible. Too incredible that it bordered incredulity.

After all, the probability for that was too minuscule!

Meanwhile, old Russell Seet had rushed into the living room when he heard the news. His face was glowing with joy and a kind smile was plastered onto his wrinkled face.

Juan and Kyle gleefully rushed up to him and called him great-grandpa.

Russell was greatly amused by their antics.

He complimented them for being smart and witty and for being good boys.

Turning to the rest in the room, he changed the conversation, “I heard that I now have two additional great-granddaughters. Is that true? I specially rushed over to have a look.”

In response, Sophia presented Nina and Maya to him.

“Dad, look. Here are Evan’s two beautiful daughters, and your two adorable great-granddaughters.”

Old Russell scanned both Nina and Maya with his aged piercing eyes, his weather-beaten face full of tender affection.

“Such fair and plump girls they are! Evan is so blessed to have two cute and healthy daughters!”

“Yes. Two sons and two daughters. All of them clever, witty, charming, and adorable! A real blessing for our Evan to meet Ms. Lane.” Sophia deliberately mentioned Nicole in front of old Mr. Russell, wanting to judge his reaction and hear his thought towards her.

Since her son liked Nicole, as a mother, she wanted to give her son a chance to be with his beloved.

Old Russell nodded repeatedly and acknowledged, “Ms. Lane gave us four precious children. They’re our Seet family’s treasures! Raising the three of them on her own was not an easy feat. She’s the pride of our family!”
