“To tell you the truth, Nina, I think daddy has a mistress. I caught a woman sneaking into his bedroom in the middle of the night, and she’s probably the one eating all the dishes I made.”
Daddy has a mistress?
Nina suspected that she misheard everything. Daddy loves mommy. Tons of models and socialites tried to court him, but he only ever had eyes for mommy. Why would he have an affair?
“Maya, this isn’t some random recipe you can whip up in the kitchen and eat it. You can’t just say whatever you want.”
Nina doesn’t believe me?
Maya expected that, though. She wouldn’t have believed it either if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes.
“I’m not making this up, Nina. Come see for yourself if you don’t believe me.”
“Fine, wait for me.”
Nina hung up the call. The more she thought about it, the less she believed in Maya’s words. Nina went to Juan and Kyle immediately to tell them what she learned.
Kyle replied, “Impossible! Daddy isn’t that kind of man.”
Juan deliberated before chiming in, “But Maya isn’t the type to lie either. We should just go see for ourselves!”
“Exactly! I think Juan is right. We’ll just go check things out on our own.”
It wasn’t enough for Nina to head over on her own. She needed to drag the boys over as well because if her father was actually having an affair, then all four of them must join forces. They must fight their father and defend their mother.
At the Imperial Garden.
When Maya saw all three of her siblings there, she advised them to keep cool and pretend they know nothing. She also told them that she had never seen the woman in person before, but she was certain that person was living in the Imperial Garden.
Evan was surprised when he walked down the stairs and saw all three of them there. “What brings you here?” asked Evan.
Juan answered, “We just miss Maya’s cooking, daddy, so we dropped by for her.”
Nina and Kyle nodded in agreement.
Evan knew that his kids had always been close, so he didn’t think much of it. He chatted with them for a bit before he returned to his study room to work on the matters in his office.
The four teens headed to the third floor, where Maya carefully closed the door behind them.
“Alright, tell us. What kind of woman is our dear old dad having an affair with?” asked Juan curiously.
Nina glared over and snapped, “What do you mean by old? Daddy is not old. He’s at the prime of his life, and plenty of women love men like our daddy.”
Kyle’s gaze swept past the bickering duo before he turned to Maya and asked, “Do you know anything about that woman?”
Maya shook her head and replied, “Not really. All I know is that she is ridiculously thin.”
Nina glared over arrogantly and scolded, “Idiot. Why didn’t you investigate the matter properly? If she really is a home wrecker, then we need to chase her out quickly to protect mommy.”
“Nina, don’t put the blame on Maya. It’s better if we’re all involved and investigate the matter together,” said Kyle.
Juan agreed wholeheartedly. “He’s right. Okay, let’s make a plan and figure out what to do next.”
The four kids started discussing the matter which livened up the place.
They later settled on a simple plan. They would make up an excuse to get their daddy to leave the Imperial Garden. In his absence, they will turn the Imperial Garden inside out to find that woman, then kick her out.
After settling on the plan, the quadruplets took action instantly.
“Maya, you’re the least likely to lie among us. Go tell daddy that grandma misses him and get him to go to Seet Residence.”
Maya hesitated, “You guys have been living in Seet Residence whereas I’ve been staying in the Imperial Garden. If grandma really does miss daddy, won’t it make more sense for her to get you guys to deliver the message? Daddy will get suspicious if I talk to him about it.”
“Good point.”
They thought about it for a while before three of the quadruplets simultaneously turned to Kyle.
Kyle hesitated for a moment, then left to look for Evan.
Evan didn’t suspect anything, because Kyle was the one who told him that Sophia wanted to see him. Hence, Evan quickly finished up his tasks on hand before he drove to Seet Residence.
The four kids were delighted. The first step of their plan progressed smoothly.
“We don’t have much time. Initiate step two right now. We have to figure out which room that woman is staying in before we move on to the next step.”
“Got it.”
“Let’s go.”
