Just as she was deep in thoughts, Davin suddenly said, “How about marrying him as a repayment?”
As soon as he finished, Evan and Nicole turned together to look at him in shock.
However, their reactions were completely different.
Nicole was flabbergasted at the suggestion. A man like Evan did not lack women, so why would he need her to marry him?
This was definitely the biggest joke Evan had the honor of listening to in his entire life. How can a married woman repay me by marrying me? How desperate could I be to want a woman like this?
Nonsense!
When Davin saw both of their expressions, he knew it would be almost impossible to match-make both of them. He covered his awkwardness with a laugh and said, “It’s just a suggestion.”
Evan replied with annoyance, “Please think before you make a suggestion in the future because I don’t want a woman like this!” A married woman nonetheless!
After he finished speaking, he shot Nicole a contemptuous look.
Nicole knew many women would flock to a wealthy man like Evan; she did not expect him to fall in love with her. Although his answer made her slightly upset, it did not affect her badly.
So, she continued to ask, “How can I repay you in order for you to lend me the money, Mr. Seet?”
Evan’s lips curved upwards. “There’s nothing you can do to repay me. No! Way! In! Hell!”
He was uncompromising.
“John!”
Evan shot him a look. John continued to tussle with Davin for the card.
When Nicole saw John had succeeded in snatching the card and was walking toward Evan, her panic rose.
What do I do now?
If he takes the money away, then what will happen to Juan?
Davin looked at the situation and grew anxious inwardly. Say something before it’s too late!
“Tell him the truth, dear sister-in-law! You need the money to save a life, and this is your only option!”
The word ‘sister-in-law’ sounded ear-piercing to Evan.
“Who are you calling your sister-in-law?”
“There’s only one woman in this room, and that is Ms. Lane. Who do you think I’m calling sister-in-law?”
“Don’t address her anyhow you like! She’s not worthy of being your sister-in-law!”
Not worthy?
Hmph! This makes me want to address her as such even more!
“Saving Juan is more important than anything, sister-in-law. Just tell him the truth!”
Evan furrowed his brows in irritation after hearing the word ‘sister-in-law’ again. He hadn’t even managed to get a word out before Nicole stepped forward and said, “Mr. Seet, I need the money to save someone’s life. Please lend me the money to save my son’s life.”
Son.
Evan was surprised. After this woman abandoned Kyle, not only did she give birth to two strange daughters, but also another son?
How many men did she sleep with?
“Ask your man to save your son’s life. You have the capability to find someone to father your son, but no capability to save the boy? What kind of a mother are you?”
Let her man save her son!
This is well said.
Ms. Lane, say something to refute him! This is a good chance at giving him a massive slap in the face!
Davin was rooting for Nicole inwardly.
However, Nicole was in a dilemma between telling the truth or keeping it a secret.
Will I lose Juan if I tell him the truth?
Juan’s life and safety are far more important.
But now it seems like telling the truth is the only option.
“Mr. Seet, actually, back then…”
“Back then? You shouldn’t have come back here after you abandoned Kyle back then! Remember what I said? Go overseas and don’t come and find Kyle ever again!”
When Evan thought of what happened in the past, he couldn’t hold back his anger and immediately cut her off.
“But I’m talking about Juan, not Kyle.” Nicole was stunned at his outburst of anger.
“I don’t want to listen to any of it!”
Evan was uncompromising and did not give Nicole a chance to utter a word.
Davin witnessed the whole scene while feeling anxious and helpless.
His brother’s attitude was infuriating.
Can’t he listen to what she has to say before interrupting so rudely?
“I’ve met Juan before, Evan. His relationship with you goes beyond measure!”
Davin purposely emphasized the words ‘beyond measure’ to give him an obvious hint.
Unfortunately, Evan did not understand the underlying meaning of his words. He glared at him and said, “Go to the psychiatric ward for treatment. When you’re always around a crazy person, you tend to get affected as well!”
