Meanwhile, in her room, Nina was fidgeting nervously on her bed. Caught in a dilemma, she felt torn on the inside.
Should I let my parents know about my trip to K Nation? What if they stop me from going after I tell them about it?
Just when she was still agonizing over it, there was a knock on her door, so she stood up to open it.
“Nina, I need to talk to you.”
“Come in, Mommy.”
Walking into her room, Nicole sat by her side and held her hand while gazing into her eyes.
How should I bring it up? Davin asked us not to let Nina know that he was the one who told us about it, so I’ll have to use another method then.
“Nina, is there something on your mind recently?”
Nina’s body went stiff at her mom’s question. She froze for a moment before looking down, and her fingers were intertwined. Should I tell Mommy?
“Nina, I can tell that you have something on your mind recently. Why don’t you tell me about it? I’ll see if there’s something I can do to help you out.”
Nina lifted her head and looked up at her. “Mommy, actually, I do need your help.”
“Go ahead, I’m listening.”
Then the girl cautiously revealed her intention of going to K Nation to her mom. After saying it, she quickly added, “Mommy, I know this isn’t appropriate, but he saved Uncle Davin, so I want to thank him in person…” A hint of guilt flashed across her face while she spoke.
With a meaningful look, Nicole glanced at her daughter while saying, “Nina, not only do you want to thank him, but you want to see him as well. You can’t get over him, can you?”
Lowering her head, Nina’s eyes misted over, and tears began to well up in them.
The woman held Nina’s hand in hers with much affection. “Nina, I can totally understand your feelings. You can go to K Nation to see him, but you must know your place. Do you understand what I mean?”
Nicole’s approval enthused her instantly. After getting her mom’s understanding, she opened herself up immediately to talk to Nicole.
“I understand, Mommy. Actually, I want to see him only to help him win the makeup competition. I’m not planning on doing anything else. I’ll be back once the competition is over. Is that alright, Mommy? I’m doing this to repay him for saving Uncle Davin.”
Silly girl… Even if Chris didn’t save Davin, she’d still want to help him.
Nicole sighed inwardly. She then stared at Nina with compassion and agreed, “Okay, but you must let Daddy arrange for someone to go with you to ensure your safety. Nina, you’re precious to us, so we want you to be safe. Can you understand my feelings?”
The girl nodded furiously.
I’m more than willing to listen and understand what Mommy has to say as long as she allows me to see Chris.
“Okay, I’ll let Daddy know about this. You should probably start packing.”
“Thank you, Mommy!” Nina felt completely relieved now. The problem which had been haunting her for days was finally solved.
Afterward, Evan made detailed arrangements for Nina’s trip. Since Jensen and Jeremy were with Davin at K Nation, he sent Damien, Darius, and four bodyguards to go together with her. Yet, he felt it was not safe enough to have only few bodyguards with his daughter, so he thought of having another person to accompany her.
It seems that Sheila is free recently. She just can’t stop asking when Davin is going to come back. If she tags along, she can keep Nina company, and Nina will have someone to talk to if she faces any difficulty.
He suggested this to Nicole, and she agreed and called Sheila at once.
“Sheila, would you like to go with her?”
“Of course I do. I was just talking about going to K Nation to see Davin. I didn’t expect that the opportunity would present itself so quickly. Don’t worry, Nicole. I’ll take good care of Nina.”
“Thank you so much, Sheila.”
“You’re welcome. Just call me when she’s leaving.”
“Sure.”
Later at 2 p.m., Sheila and Nina were on their way to K Nation, together with the bodyguards.
With an anxious heart, Nicole prayed in her heart for a safe trip, hoping that her daughter would return safely.
