Evan was amused by how jealous Nicole seemed, so he reached out to caress her fair cheek. âI know very well what kind of person Susan is. Donât worry. Iâll get the bottom of it.â
Nicole would like to know what he would do to Susan after he found out the truth.
She felt asking him directly but then decided that it was better to see for herself what the man would do.
Another breeze came up, making her sneeze twice, so Evan wrapped his arms around her. âLetâs go back inside, Youâll catch a cold if we stay any longer.â
She nodded, and the two walked back shoulder to shoulder. Another cool breeze came up, but his warm hand held hers tightly, so the cold did not bother her.
Looking at how the two walked into their bedroom intimately, the four children were relieved.
Mayaâs eyes sparkled with joy. âDaddy and Mommy are finally together then! How wonderful!â
âOur family is now complete, all thanks to Grandma!â exclaimed Nina.
âGood thing Grandma and Grandpa got there in time. Things wouldâve been very different if we only had Uncle Davin to depend on. Mommy might have even actually become Levantâs wife!â sighed Juan solemnly.
âSo itâs been proven that your Uncle Davin is unreliable!â
Davin and Sheila were walking down the stairs and just happened to hear Kyle.
âWhat did I ever do to you, Kyle? How can you say such things about your own uncle? And how has it been proven? Come on, tell me.â
Kyle glanced at his uncle coldly. âNot only have you failed to rescue Daddy, but you also failed to stop the wedding between Mommy and Levant.â
Davin felt the need to explain himself to the children.
âThatâs not my fault! Blame your Grandpa. He promised to rescue your Daddy and have your Mommy and Daddy go back together. I only did nothing because I trusted him.â
Kyle unceremoniously rolled his eyes at his uncle. âThat doesnât even make any sense!â
âHow can you blame Grandpa when youâre the one who was incapable of rescuing Daddy? Thatâs not right, Uncle Davin.â
Davin could not believe that his nieces and nephews were turning against him, so he continued to defend himself.
âYour Grandma may have rescued him, but Iâm the one who contacted her, so you can also say that Iâm the one who rescued your daddy. Besides, Sophiaâs my mother. What difference does it make which one of us rescued Evan? In conclusion, considering the two points mentioned, you can regard me as your daddyâs savior.â
After the four exchanged pointed looks, Nina suddenly said, âWell, Grandma promised to buy us new clothes and give us presents. Since thereâs no difference between you and Grandma, why donât you do that for us instead?â
Among the Seets, Davin was the only poor one, so clever Nina targeted her uncleâs money.
After clearing his throat multiple times, Davin put on a dry smile. âI think you better ask your grandma for that because, your Grandma and I, we donât mingle our money. You can ask her yourself if you donât believe me.â
Sheila glanced at her fiancé and solemnly told him, âYouâre a man, Davin. Stop being so cheap! And youâre my man, which is all the more reason why you should be more generous.â
She then promised the children to take them shopping the next day and buy them whatever they want.
The four cheered happily and thanked her before turning back to continue ridiculing their uncle.
âYouâre not even as generous as a woman, Uncle Davin.â
âStop being a cheapskate, Uncle Davin.â
âIf you keep that up, weâll only spend time with Aunt Sheila and not you.â
When the children were done throwing remarks at Davin, they all went into their bedroom, leaving the man to wonder helplessly if he would have enough for his wedding and future children.
Whatâs wrong with being thrifty?
