Chapter 1356 He Just Gets To Me
Beaming from ear to ear, Sheila remarked, “Joy, would you like a demonstration from your uncle Davin?”
“Sure!”
“Then, let’s go to the Seet Residence. Your grandma will certainly make your wish come true.”
Joy nodded in delight as she blinked her shimmering eyes. Zayden and Luke had stars in their eyes, both anticipating going to the Seet Residence as well.
“All right, let’s all go, then! All three of you can tag along.”
“Okay! We’ll go and get our suitcases, then!”
“Me, too!”
All three children raced up the stairs on their stubby legs. In no time, each of them was wheeling a suitcase and wearing sunglasses as they descended the stairs coolly.
At that sight of their fanciful appearance, a great idea occurred to Davin out of the blue.
“Whoa! Why don’t the three of you take part in a fashion show? A single appearance can earn you tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands. I’ll be your agents, and we’ll share the money evenly. What do you think?”
“Sure! I don’t mind, Uncle Davin. I love being a celebrity! Do you think I can join a child star audition?”
“A child star? Of course, you can! Trust in yourself, for you’re exactly the kind of person they’re looking for!”
When Joy heard that, elation flooded her.
Meanwhile, Zayden turned to Luke beside him. “Joy wants to be a child star. What about you?”
“I want to be an inventor and invent tons of high-tech things!”
“Wow, that’s incredible!”
“Not really. It’s just an idea, but it hasn’t turned into reality yet. I can only be considered incredible when I’ve really invented some high-tech item that’s of great use.” After saying that, Luke asked Zayden in return, “What about you? What do you want to do?”
At his question, Zayden rubbed his head. “I… I haven’t decided yet.”
“It’s okay. Take your time, and you’ll surely come to a decision sooner or later!”
Zayden nodded in agreement, but Davin urged, “Zayden, you’ve got to make up your mind quickly since they both already have goals. You can’t always lag behind others.”
“Don’t worry about that. My son will definitely do great things in the future!”
“Really?”
When Zayden heard his mother saying that he was great, he felt a tad dubious. I don’t think I’m as bright as Joy.
“Of course! Trust me. You’re the greatest son in the world!”
After having gotten such encouragement, Zayden stuck out his tongue in embarrassment. That was also his way of saying that he would do his best to attain that goal.
When all three children had left with Sheila and Davin, Levant and Evan had another verbal altercation. Levant then wanted to stay at Imperial Garden for dinner, but Evan coldly gave him the boot, so he had no choice but to leave resentfully.
Before leaving, he even hissed through gritted teeth, “You’re really stingy, Evan! You’re the president of Seet Group, yet you’re even calculative about a meal! How are you not ashamed to be so miserly?”
“I don’t mind being generous with others, but with you, I’m particularly tight-fisted.”
“How shameless!”
“Thank you for the compliment. Goodbye, and please see yourself out.”
“Do you think I’m all that eager to dine with you? Let’s go, Tiffany!”
Tiffany inclined her head and flashed them a smile before leaving with Levant.
Gazing at their retreating backs, Maya turned to Evan and queried, “Was that necessary, Daddy? Do we not have food here at Imperial Garden?”
“We do, but not if it’s him eating.”
Maya choked for a moment before she continued asking, “It’s because of Mommy that you’re always hostile with Mr. Levant, right?”
“No.”
“Why, then?”
“He just gets to me.”
Right after saying that, Evan spun around and went upstairs.
As Maya stared at her father’s obstinate back, she inwardly mused, It must be because of Mommy, no doubt. I noticed that he was perturbed by the look in Mr. Levant’s eye when the latter gazed at Mommy earlier. That must be why he was so ruthless that he didn’t even allow him to stay for dinner. He’s very possessive and treats Mommy like his private property, not allowing anyone to covet her!
It was almost dawn, yet Juan lay on the bed, tossing and turning as sleep eluded him. He racked his brains for a way to have Sally voluntarily give up on dating him.
