Davin and Sheila tried to persuade Evan too. “Nicole’s right, Evan. I’m sure Nina must be feeling down in the dumps now. I believe she will apologize to you when she’s ready. So, please don’t criticize her for the time being.”
After a short silent beat, Evan reassured Nicole, “Don’t worry, I’m not going to give her too much of a hard time too. However, I think it’s time she learns some wisdom in life.”
“Really?” Nicole was unconvinced because Evan’s face was obviously contorted with rage.
“Of course!”
The three of them let out a sigh of relief hearing that from Evan. Being as sensible as always, Maya stepped forward and proposed, “Uncle Davin, Aunt Sheila, you guys must be tired after all the hassle. Please do stay for lunch because I’ll be cooking.”
Davin was pleased to hear that. “Sounds good! I was told that Maya was an incredible cook quite a long time ago. How can I miss this chance to have a taste of your excellent culinary skills?”
“You guys may rest in the living room while I go and prepare the food in the kitchen.” Maya then turned to her parents and said, “Daddy, Mommy, please keep Uncle Davin and Aunt Sheila company. The food will be ready in no time.”
“Sure.” Nicole nodded, feeling delighted to have such a sweet and sensible daughter like Maya.
Before the four of them could settle down in the living room, a maid approached them and said, “Mr. Evan, Mr. Levant is here. He insisted on coming inside, and he reminded you not to be ungrateful for his help, or he would bring his complaint to your mother.”
Levant is here?
What is he doing here all of a sudden?
Before Evan could ask any more questions, Davin spoke, “Just let him in, or his screaming is going to embarrass us.”
“Yes, just let him in. I happen to have something to tell him too!” Sheila agreed to let Levant in as well.
Staring at Davin and Sheila, the maid lamented deep down inside, The opinion of you guys don’t count at all because it’s up to Mr. Evan to decide that!
It was not until Evan nodded at the maid did she dare to let Levant in.
At the sight of Levant walking toward the living room, Davin jeered, “Don’t you care about your image at all? Why were you barking outside like a mad dog?”
“Exactly. I think you must have too little stuff to do during the day. You really should use some of your energy on taking care of your son!” Sheila chimed in.
Levant stared at them with surprise in his eyes. “I can’t believe I’m bumping into the two of you again here.”
“This is where my brother stays. Isn’t it pretty normal for us to be here? Mind you, your presence is the odd one here. Tell us now, what inspired you to grace this place with your presence?”
“How’s Nina faring at the moment? About Chris Sanders…”
“This isn’t the business you should meddle with!” Evan dissed.
Levant sneered, “Evan, you guys actually owe me one because it’s me who provided you with all the info on Chris Sanders’ background. Are you sure this is the right way to treat someone who helped you before?”
Ignoring him, Evan grabbed Nicole’s hands instead and started caressing them gently as though he was handling some sort of treasure.
Levant snickered in response to his action. Is he trying to show off how lovey-dovey he is with Nicole? He’s clumsy at it!
“Levant, I was the one who asked for your help to investigate Chris Sanders. So, you may direct your questions at me,” Davin spoke.
In response, Levant moved his eyes away from Evan to face Davin. “Is Nina okay now?”
“She’s pretty fine other than being brokenhearted. I’m sure it won’t take too long for her to move on, though,” Davin answered in a crisp voice.
“What happened to Chris Sanders in the end?” Levant pressed on.
“I punched him before letting him go. Why’re you even asking about him?”
“I need to meet him for my affairs in K Nation.”
“You should have told me earlier. Now, there’s nothing much I can do to help you because he’s gone. You might be able to meet him just in time if you rush to the airport now!”
After some contemplation, Levant said, “Forget it. I can reach him through other means too.” With that, his eyes couldn’t help but drift toward Nicole as a gentle smile emerged on his face.
