“I’ve already made up my mind. Anything you say won’t change it! You don’t need to do your homework anymore. I’ll inform you when I’ve found a new teacher for you.” As soon as these cold words hit, Evan walked upstairs.
Sensing his determination, Nina’s eyes filled with tears. How could he? How could Daddy do this?
Maya had not expected that her father to make such a decision, but she knew deep down that he was right. Someone like Chris isn’t a good fit for Nina at all.
“Nina, you should just listen to Daddy…”
“I hate you! We’re through! I’ll never talk to you again, you witch!”
As soon as Nina said that, she ran into her bedroom in a fit and locked herself inside. She ignored everyone who knocked on her door, and even refused to eat.
Maya sighed. I think Nina really hates me now. All I want is what’s good for her, is that wrong?
After Nicole learned of what happened, she felt that Evan had overreacted.
“Nina really has feelings for Chris. She’ll hate you for ruthlessly disrespecting her feelings!”
After some thought, Evan replied, “If I had to choose between her hating me and her getting hurt, I would rather she hates me.”
Looking at Evan’s dark expression, Nicole could feel the profoundness of his fatherly love. However, she knew that his solution was not addressing the root cause of the problem.
“I think that whoever started it should be the one to end it. Let me talk with Chris. At his age, he should already have a girlfriend. If he doesn’t have any feelings for Nina, then we should make things clear with her. I believe that given Nina’s bristly and bashful personality, she’ll know what to do and won’t continue pestering him.”
Evan was silent in thought. He looked at her apprehensively. “And what if Chris doesn’t have a girlfriend?”
“Then, I’m sure he wouldn’t have any feelings for Nina too, since she’s only fourteen.”
Evan was still not convinced, and had an anxious expression on his face.
Nicole stood up and walked towards him. “Just leave this to me. Trust me, I’ll take care of it. I don’t want to see Nina like this, nor do I want her to hate us.”
“Get Sheila to go with you.”
Huh?
It’s not like I’m putting myself in danger. Why do I need someone to accompany me? However, even if she did not understand Evan’s worries, knowing that he was so concerned about her made her happy.
“Okay, I’ll give her a call.”
When Sheila got found out that Nicole was asking her to accompany her to go meet someone, she was filled with excitement.
“Who are we meeting? A man or a woman?”
“A man!”
“What kind of man?”
“He’s Nina’s teacher. The situation’s a little complicated, so I’ll tell you in person.”
“Alright, then I’ll go to you immediately.”
Sheila hung up and immediately started gossiping to Davin. “Nicole asked me to go and meet a man with her. Apparently, he’s handsome as h*ll!”
Davin furrowed his brows. “What? Is he as handsome as I am?”
“Of course! She said he’s as handsome as Evan. Can you even imagine?”
With that, she got up and waved him goodbye.
Looking at her speeding along in her car, Davin thought that she deserved a talking to. But why would Nicole bring her to meet a handsome man? Does Evan know about this?
The more he thought about this, the more his curiosity grew. He decided to go check up on them at the Imperial Garden.
When Sheila got to the Imperial Garden, Nicole had no time to explain the full story to her and just pulled her into Evan’s Maybach. She decided she would tell her everything on the journey there.
“What? Nina has a crush on her teacher? Are they already in a relationship?” Sheila asked in shock.
“I don’t think so- I think it’s just a one-sided crush on Nina’s part. I don’t think Chris has any feelings for her.”
