She licked her lips. âShall we split it amongst ourselves? Youâll eat the sausages, and Iâll drink the soup.â
Evan shot a glance at her before he silently took the bowl of soup. Pulling it toward him, he pushed the sausages over to Nicole.
He then ordered, âEat.â
Nicole was stupefied. They had only just made up yesterday, but he was now fighting with her over a bowl of soup.
Shouldnât he be giving me the soup without a word?
I was too rash yesterday. If I had known that he would be such a baddie today, I wouldnât have relented so easily yesterday. I should have dragged it on.
Perhaps I should interview him; I should ask him what he feels, about stealing a bowl of soup from an injured woman.
She hung her head and stared at the sausages. Just as she was about to complain, the bowl of soup returned to her line of sight.
âItâs not that hot anymore. However, please be careful when you drink it.â
Nicole was stunned into a momentary silence.
Soon, she snapped her head up to glance at him, feeling touched by his actions.
So heâs making sure that I wonât scald my tongue! Iâve really misjudged him.
An apologetic smile made its way to her lips. âEvan, why donât you drink a few sips of the soup first?â
Evan looked at her, suddenly inquiring, âWhat did you say that I would be today?â
Umâ¦
Did I say that out loud? I didnât, did I?
Nicole shook her head fervently.
âYou must have misheard me. Iâd said that you were going to be a good man today. The best man!â
Evan was speechless.
Narrowing his eyes, he finally came to learn of something. Maya, who had once called him a âgoodieâ, must have mostly inherited Nicoleâs genes.
âHurry up and drink it. Otherwise, itâll turn cold.â
Nicole nodded as she hurriedly drank the soup.
âThis is so good! Evan, say, do you think that Maya will be able to cook like this in the future?â
âI hope not!â
âShouldnât you hope for your daughter to grow into someone capable? Moreover, you know that she loves to eat. With cooking skills like this, sheâll get to eat anything that sheâd desire. Sheâll never starve.â
Evan was silent for a while before he responded, âIf Maya wants to eat, she can look for a husband who can cook for her. She should not have to do it herself.â
Nicole fell silent at his words.
Itâs evident that he holds strong affection for Maya. He canât even bring himself to allow her to cook.
It looks like Mr. Seet doesnât just pamper his wife. Rather, he pampers his girls too!
At that moment, Nicole could imagine the scene where Evan would be picky when Maya was grown up, especially when she would bring her boyfriend home to meet her parents.
I wonder if the future events will play out as Iâve imagined.
Seeing that she was spacing out, Evan picked up the bowl of soup and fed her.
âOpen up.â
Nicole was wordless once again.
Nicole was not accustomed to such treatment, but seeing that Evan was adamant about it, she soon obeyed.
After breakfast, Nicole then talked about Sheilaâs request for the children.
After a moment of contemplation, Evan queried, âWill this be too difficult for the kids?â
In other words, he was asking if Davin would be willing to court Sheila instead.
Nicole knew what he meant, and she was well aware that it was no easy task. However, she was confident about her childrenâs capabilities.
âLetâs allow them to give it a try. What if they really succeed? Moreover, Sheilaâs a good girl. She deserves to be treasured.â
Evan thought about his mother, who was certainly fond of Sheila. If things turned out well, his mother would be pleased.
âAlright. Letâs give it a try then.â
At night, Nicole called the children and told them about it.
Juan voiced out that it was a good idea. Sheila is righteous, I would love to have her as my aunt.
âMommy, Iâll do my best.â
Sheila had once saved Maya when she was lost. Hence, Maya liked her too, and she easily agreed to it.
âMommy, weâll help Uncle Davin in courting Ms. Sheila so that sheâll get to be with him as soon as possible! That way, sheâll have a lot of lambs!â
