Davin was speechless.
“So you knew that they went together? Then you should know who they went to meet, right?”
Evan nodded. “They’re meeting Nina’s teacher.”
“Oh, so that’s it. You should’ve told me sooner. And here I am thinking that they went to meet some important business partner.”
“He may not be as simple as you think.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Evan caught Davin up on everything that happened. Davin was so shocked that he slammed the table. “F*ck, how could this happen? Do you think he has bad intentions?”
“We’ll know after they get back.”
Davin sighed. “Should I talk to Nina?”
“She won’t listen to you.”
“Regardless, as her uncle, I should still try.”
With that, Davin made his way to Nina’s bedroom.
He knocked on her door.
“Nina, it’s Uncle Davin. Open the door, I need to talk to you about something.”
The door was shut firmly, and what met him was silence.
“Nina…”
He knocked on the door a few more times but was met with silence once again. Seems like she has made up her mind not to talk to anyone. Davin could only walk downstairs feeling dejected.
In the café, Sheila suddenly became downcast and let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Nicole put their coffee down on the table and looked at her curiously.
“Have you ever heard what happened between Davin and his ex-girlfriend?”
“No.” Nicole had only heard half the story and was not very clear on the details, so she decided it was best not to run her mouth.
“I heard it from Sophia. His ex was really pitiful, and she even got a miscarriage to save him. Because of that, she lost the ability to reproduce, and she was afraid that this would upset him so she chose to leave him. Her love for him sure was so great and selfless. This made me think, why can’t I be the same? Ever since I fell in love with him, I’ve never let him out of my sight, and wouldn’t let him go over my dead body.”
“So what? What matters is that you’re together with him now.”
“Then do you think I’m too selfish in my love?”
“Do you want to be selfless, or do you want love?” Nicole asked.
“I want love!” Sheila answered determinately.
Nicole brought her coffee up and took a sip. “Then you don’t need to overthink. Even I’ve done something similar before. When I had hallucinations, I was afraid of hurting Evan, so I chose to stay far away from him. Afterward, he made me realize that love isn’t about arbitrarily deciding to sacrifice yourself for the sake of the other person, but rather, it’s about respecting the other party’s wishes, and that any problem done so much for Davin, but you’ve never given up. I think this is quality of your is something that’s very hard to come by.”
“Ever since I decided to be with Davin, I made up my mind that even if I were to die, I would want it to be with him.”
“Your love is really brave.”
Sheila laughed. “Well, I’m not great or selfless. All I have, is bravery.”
At the Imperial Garden, Davin was pacing around in the living room, anxiously awaiting Sheila’s return.
“What’s going on? Why aren’t they back yet?”
Evan looked at him, then to his watch. They’ve sure been gone for a long time. ”Call them.”
“Let me do it.” Davin immediately dialed Sheila’s number.
When she saw that her husband was calling her, she immediately accepted the call.
“Why aren’t you back yet?”
“What? It has only been a while. Do you miss me already?”
“As if! Hurry up and come back soon!” Davin urged impatiently.
“‘m not done enjoying myself yet!” Sheila imitated him.
Enjoying herself?
After meeting Chris, she’s out enjoying herself again?
