Chapter 1372 Something Is Not Right
“Sally, this is your house from now on. I hope you’ll come here often,” Nina said with a smile on her face.
Maya added, “That’s right. We welcome you here. Why don’t you stay here with us for the night? I can tidy up a room for you and Juan.”
Sally paused before she hurriedly rejected, “No, there’s no need. I won’t be staying here. I’ll go back to my own house.”
“Yes, she has her own house. It’s not right for her to stay here.” Juan glared at Maya.
Nina, who stood beside them, was filled with curiosity. Wouldn’t new couples want to be with each other every minute of the day? Why do these two look like they’re avoiding each other? They’re acting so suspicious and strange!
The atmosphere was starting to turn awkward once again. Seeing that, Sally stood up and said, “Mrs. Seet, I’ve got something to do, so I have to go now. I’ll be back to visit you again next time.”
“All right, come often! Have Juan send you home,” Nicole replied.
Sally smiled and nodded.
After sending Sally off, Nina voiced out her confusion.
Similarly, Nicole also found that the interaction between Juan and Sally was very weird and suspicious. Neither of them looked like couples in their honeymoon phase.
“Maybe they’re a pair of quarrelsome lovers, like Uncle Davin and Aunt Sheila were back then!” Maya pondered aloud.
Nicole thought about it before saying, “I’ll go and ask your grandma about it, see what she knows about Sally.”
“Mommy, you really have to ask Grandma in detail. I just somehow feel like Sally doesn’t like Juan. It’s hard to hide how much one loves another. I just could not see that love from her eyes. On the contrary, she was busy looking at…”
Kyle, Nina thought to herself but did not dare to say it out loud. She then quickly shut her mouth as she realized how caught up she was in her own thoughts that she almost said something she shouldn’t have.
“Looking at what?” Maya urged.
Nina cleared her throat and glanced at Kyle before trying to brush off Maya’s inquiry. “Looking at the food you cooked. It seems like your cooking is even more attractive to her than Juan.”
“Really?” Maya’s eyes lit up. She continued, “Nina, that’s honestly the biggest compliment I could ever get for my cooking skills. It’s a waste that Juan is not here to witness how he could not even compare to a dish. He would be fuming, I’m sure!”
Maya had always been inattentive and easy-going, so it was to be expected that she had not realized anything. However, what Nina said had intrigued Nicole, Evan, and Kyle.
Nicole and Evan looked at each other, the same thoughts running through their heads. If what Nina said is true, then everything will be much more complicated. If Sally really is interested in Kyle, would Juan fight with him for her?
No, that won’t happen. Juan and Kyle grew up together. They have always been very loving and have a good relationship. They would never fight with each other.
Nicole comforted herself as she tried not to worry about it and think on the positive side. However, there was no doubt that she still felt uneasy. When she went back to her bedroom upstairs, she closed the door and talked about it with Evan.
Evan narrowed his eyes and stated, “We really need to do a background check on Sally. I’ll talk to Juan and Kyle individually about it as well. I believe that they both have the capability to resolve this matter adequately.”
“I agree. Sally is a smart girl. She’s not lacking in either beauty or capability. I feel like the aura that she exudes does not match an orphan who grew up in a poor environment. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking or if there really is a problem,” Nicole added.
With that being said, she paused before she lightened up. “I should call Mom and ask her just how well she knows Sally.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, she proceeded to call Sophia.
“Nicole, what’s the matter?” the voice from the other side of the call questioned.
“Mom, you introduced Sally to Juan, right? Is she an orphan? How much do you know about her?”
