“We’ve only been here for several days, and you are starting to miss them already? Don’t worry. Mom will take good care of them,” Evan comforted her.
She flashed him a smile and didn’t utter a word. When she lifted a glass of milk to drink, it slipped and fell to the ground unexpectedly, making her heart skip a beat.
He looked at her caringly and asked, “Are you scalded?”
She shook her head and replied, “No.” Nevertheless, she began to feel uneasy unknowingly.
Why would a glass suddenly slip from my hand and shatter into pieces? Was it the sign of a bad omen?
A worried look flashed across her eyes when she looked up at him.
Even though Evan noticed her grim expression, he thought she probably overthought because she was pregnant. As such, he comforted, “It’s fine. Only a glass is broken.”
However, since her heart was thumping, she told him, “But I feel very uneasy. Should we give Nina and Maya a call?”
He decided to give them a call to console her.
However, as soon as he made the phone call, he realized that Maya’s phone was turned off.
The same happened to Nina’s phone when he called her.
As such, Nicole began to really feel worried about them.
“Did something bad happen?”
“Don’t be nervous. I’ll call Mom.”
Unexpectedly, Sophia’s phone was also turned off when he called her.
What… Why did all of them turn off their phones? Is this the latest trend in our house?
Nicole knitted her brows and was as confused as him. Besides, she grew increasingly anxious about it.
“Don’t worry. Let me call Dad.” He didn’t believe that everyone in the house had turned off his or her phone.
Miles away, Jonathan’s heart skipped a beat when he saw Evan’s call. Also, he hesitated about what he should say. Should I tell Evan about what is happening to Sophia, Nina, Maya, and the Seet Group?
Nevertheless, given that Evan was smart, Jonathan couldn’t hide the past from him anymore once he revealed it.
How will he react to it if he knows that the Seet Group played dirty tricks in the past to become successful today? He was worried that his image as his father would plummet.
However, if I keep it from him now and something bad really happens to Sophia, Nina, Maya, and the Seet Group, how am I going to face him?
After thinking through it, he believed that the lives of his family members were way more important than his reputation. As such, he decided to answer the phone and tell Evan everything.
“Evan, where are you two now?”
“We’re at Lisanthos. Why did Mom turn off her phone?”
Oh well, since your mom is in danger now, her phone is surely not with her!
After giving it some thought, Jonathan answered vaguely, “Evan, something has happened in the family. Can you put your trip on hold and bring Nicole back?”
Evan frowned and asked, “Dad, what’s going on?”
“It’s a thorny problem. You’ll find out when you’re back.”
Jonathan didn’t reveal anything to Evan for now. He was worried that something bad would happen to Evan and Nicole if they were nervous about the incident and returned hastily.
Nonetheless, Evan was even more curious when he didn’t say much.
What can actually make Mom and his two daughters turn off their phones? Besides, if it isn’t something important, Jonathan won’t ask me to go back so soon.
“I understand, Dad.”
Once Evan hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Davin’s number. He believed that Davin was the only one from whom he could get the truth from.
Meanwhile, Davin thought that it was a dream when he saw the caller ID. Didn’t Evan and Nicole turn off their phones together? Why does he turn on his phone again?
Evan, you’ve finally turned on your phone! Our family and the Seet Group need you!
Davin grabbed his phone nervously as if it was his last lifeline. However, someone took his phone away right before he could pick it up. At this moment, he felt that the last lifeline that belonged to him and the Seet family was removed forcefully.
“Give the phone back to me!”
As he was nervous, he couldn’t help but yell furiously. However, he was startled when he looked up and realized who took his phone away.
