Davin glanced around carefully before pulling Sheila into another room. After which, he told her about everything that happened that day for the sake of his reputation and to avoid punishment by his parents and grandfather.
âAre you for real? Itâs because youâre investigating Zaneâs fake death?â
âI promise that everything I said is true! I swear!â
Looking at his serious face, Sheila fell into deep thought. If thatâs the case, Iâve misunderstood Davin. Does it mean Nicole has also misunderstood Evan?
Will it affect their relationship?
Should I tell Nicole? But Davin doesnât allow me to tell anyone about Zane, so how should I tell her?
Imperial Garden.
Evan parked his Maybach in the garage, got out of the car, and walked to the living room eagerly.
He hadnât returned in the past few days. From his hurried footsteps, it could be seen that he had missed Nicole a lot.
After walking inside the living room, he found no one there.
He walked in the direction of the noise and saw his kids having fun in the toy room.
Kyle, who spotted him standing at the door, immediately walked toward him.
âDaddy.â
When Maya heard it, she ran toward him and opened her arms, wanting him to carry her.
âDaddy, Iâm gaining weight again. I donât wanna eat meat for dinner. I wanna eat vegetables.â
âSure!â Evanâs eyes were filled with fatherly love as he reached out to pinch her cute and chubby cheek. âIâll take you out for a walk tonight, okay?â
Thinking of the exhaustion and panting from walking, Maya hesitated.
While Nina was all for it.
âDaddy, I agree to go for a walk after dinner. Iâm also too fat now. I want to lose weight.â
Maya glanced at Nina, who was thin as a rake, and then at her chubby self, with her mouth wide open.
Does the skinny one actually complain of being fat in front of the fat one? Does she not care about my feelings?
Nina must have said so on purpose!
No. I also want to lose weight. One day, I will become thinner than Nina, and then say the same thing in front of her!
âDaddy, I wanna take a long walk after dinner. I wanna be skinny too.â
Looking at Maya, who sought to become better, Evan nodded in satisfaction. âNo problem. Where thereâs a will, thereâs a way. I believe that youâll definitely be able to lose weight.â
Maya gave a firm nod of her head.
Then, Nicole was heard announcing that it was time for dinner.
After coming out of the toy room with the kids, Evan specifically observed Nicoleâs attitude toward him.
Unexpectedly, she didnât even glance at him as she took the kids to wash their hands.
Why does she still treat me this way after asking me to come back?
Evan frowned. While in a daze, he was urged by Juan to eat.
Looking at the dishes on the table, he thought, Maybe Nicole has a strong character and is embarrassed to make peace with me, so all this food should be her way of demonstrating her goodwill.
Evan washed his hands and sat down on his seat.
Glancing at him who was sitting next to her, Nicole began to serve the kids some food.
He looked at the soup before him, feeling something was off.
After tasting it, he cursed inwardly, What the f*ck! Itâs so sour. She must have secretly added some vinegar.
Judging from how sour it is, she must have added a great amount of it.
It was hard for him to finish it.
Seeing that the kids were eating happily, he glanced at Nicole and chose to tolerate it, for fear of affecting the kidsâ mood.
âDaddy, have some of the food here. The food Mommy makes is very delicious.â
Evan nodded his head. When he reached out to take some of the mushrooms, Nicole reacted quickly and took them before he did.
In a moment of panic, she simply picked up the plate, divided the mushrooms among the kids, and scooped the remaining content into her bowl.
Finally, she placed the dinner plate in front of Evan, looked at the star anise and ginger slices left on the plate, and said politely, âPlease enjoy your meal, Mr. Seet.â
Is she making me eat the condiments?
Does she really want to make peace with me?
