However, he would always remember the hard times Sheila had gone through with him. After those months, he had given up waiting for his ex-girlfriend and accepted Sheila. Yet, unexpectedly, the woman in his past had popped into his life again.
He was helping his ex-girlfriend – not because he still had feelings for her – but because he felt that he owed her and wanted to make up for it.
“The two of you really have misunderstood me. I don’t mean anything else. When she was my girlfriend, I got drunk and fought once, and I ended up causing her…” I better not mention the miscarriage. It might make things worse.
He quickly changed his words. “I ended up causing her to be hurt, and that’s why she’s been unwell until now. Therefore, I think I should make it up to her.”
“That’s all?”
“That’s right,” Davin guaranteed.
Sheila cast doubtful eyes on him and asked, “If all you want to do is to make it up to her, then you should give her more money and stop meeting her in the future. In my opinion, for a woman to cling to you means that she still has feelings for you. As your fiancée, I can’t let a woman like her have any chance to get close to you.”
Davin fell silent as he looked at her.
She continued, “Davin, I can put myself into your shoes, but you should put yourself into my shoes and just hand her the money. Cut ties with her after. That’s the only way our relationship will continue to be peaceful. What do you think about it?”
The man remained silent.
His mother voiced, “I think Sheila’s right. Sheila, you have my support. You’re someone who can see the big picture. Dave, I’ll do this for you. Don’t worry. I won’t treat your ex-girlfriend terribly. From now on, you’ll spend your time with Sheila well. Don’t fight over this matter again. Pick a date and quickly get married so we’ll be a family.”
Sheila was glad to hear Sophia’s words. It was better for Sophia to give the woman money in case the woman refused to take the money from Davin.
Davin sighed again. “Mom, regardless of everything, she’s hurt because of me. You have to be wary of your demeanor and be nicer to her.”
“Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Though she had gotten Sophia’s reassurance, Sheila still felt a little upset about it. She shot a few vicious glares at Davin before the matter was finally settled.
Just then, Sophia’s phone rang.
After peeking at the screen, she picked up the call. “Anything I can help you with, Murphy?”
After a while of silence, delight crept upon Sophia’s face. “I understand. Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone about it. You have to take good care of her.”
After the call ended, a bright smile was on Sophia’s face. She turned to look at Nicole and Sheila. “I’ve misunderstood the two of you about Tiffany. Why don’t you stay here for lunch? I’ll ask the maids to cook whatever you wish to eat.”
Nicole was surprised, and she pondered what Murphy had told Sophia to make her seemed thrilled.
A thoughtful look flashed across Evan’s eyes. He could guess what had made Murphy and Sophia so excited. I’m afraid it has something to do with that certain person.
In the afternoon, both Nina and Maya came to Seet Residence for lunch as well.
As Sophia had heard about Nina’s speech at her press conference, she told her stories of how the Seet family grew stronger; she wanted Nina to understand why she should stick to her morals and principles.
Knowing that Sophia’s stories were meant for her, the girl’s face turned pale before it turned red in embarrassment. However, Nina could not escape from the scene. Hence, she hung her head and gloomily ate her food.
Evan interrupted, “Mom, you don’t need to tell her these stories. She understands the reasons for principles well. Both Nicole and I have had a talk with her.”
Sophia sighed. “I’m old, so I’ve become more naggy. I really hope for the children to become talented people. I hope they can make Seet Group proud.”
