âLetâs go.â
âMommy, that bad woman is definitely complaining to Daddy.â Nina sent Susan and Evan a fierce look.
âMommy, should we go and complain to Daddy too?â Maya suggested.
Nicole couldnât hear what Susan was telling Evan across the distance, but she felt a stabbing pain in her heart when she saw Susan leaning against Evan with a miserable expression.
Susan is pregnant, so theyâre closer than ever now.
I guess that no matter what Susan says, Evan will definitely defend her!
Under these circumstances, she didnât want to see them, let alone get into a dispute with them. She only wanted to get as far away as possible from those two.
âNo. Letâs go home.â
Evan gazed intently at Nicole as she walked further away from him. He wanted to go after her very badly.
Unfortunately, Susan was holding tightly onto his clothes and bawling her eyes out as she aired her suicidal thoughts. Even when he told her to let go, it was like talking to a wall.
âWhen do you plan on letting me go?â
Hearing Evanâs icy voice that oozed with disgust, Susanâs heart clenched in her chest. She knew that Evan would go after Nicole if she let him go. If he were to really run after Nicole under the watchful eyes of the crowd, how would she be able to handle their stares and whispers?
Hence, she wasnât going to let him have his way.
Anxious for a solution, she thought of a commonly used oneâpretending to faint.
âEvan, I⦠I feel dizzy. My headâ¦â
Then, she went limp against Evanâs chest.
Evan furrowed his brows at her. âWhatâs wrong?â
With so many people watching, it wouldnât be appropriate for him to just leave an unconscious woman to her own devices.
He stared after Nicole and his four children as the distance between them grew. With a gloomy expression on his face, he scooped Susan into his arms and walked towards a consultation room.
Nicole looked over her shoulder just in time to see Evan carrying Susan to where the consultation room was at.
Is he taking her for her pregnancy checkup?
He even carried her in. He really does pamper his woman.
She had thought that Evan only pampered her. Seeing this, she no longer thought so.
Perhaps Evan would pamper whichever woman he takes a liking to. Iâm not that special after all.
âMommy, are you sad?â
âNo. Mommy isnât sad.â
âMommyâ¦â Nina called out to her in a sad, tiny voice.
Kyle sighed softly to himself.
I donât understand what Daddy sees in that woman that he would do this to Mommy.
Daddy is also too much. He didnât come after us, but carried that woman instead?
No wonder Mommy is sad.
Juan said to Kyle in a hushed voice, âWhen Daddy has new babies, do you think heâll still care about us?â
Maya blinked her big eyes as she thought about what Juan and Susan said. Daddy will have many new babies and Daddy will love those little babies very much. Wonât that mean that we wonât have Daddyâs love anymore?
No. I canât let that happen.
I have to call Daddy and ask him.
Back at home, Maya ran back to her bedroom and secretly called Evan.
âMaya, what happened to Ninaâs hand?â
âShe was scalded by hot water. It became red and swollen all over. Nina even cried because of the pain.â
âTell Nina to rest well and that Daddy will go and visit her.â
âMm! Daddy, will you still care for us in the future?â Maya asked innocently.
âOf course I will!â
âThen, after you have many little babies, will you still care for us?â
Evan frowned and asked, âMaya, why are you asking me this question all of a sudden?â
âYour new wife said that she was going to give birth to many babies; even more than Mommy. Five or six, she said. Like a litter of piglets.â
Evan swept his gaze over Susan who was still unconscious beside him. So, they werenât just arguing about the Rose Garden incident earlier.
She even said this in front of Nicole and the four kids?
âMaya, donât worry. She wonât be able to give birth to a single baby. You four are Daddyâs only children.â
Susanâs hand twitched slightly as she lay unconscious on the bed.
âReally? Then will you continue loving us?â
âYes. Daddy will love you all forever.â
After the call ended, Mayaâs eyes brightened. She relayed this piece of news to Nina with a smile sprawled across her face.
