Chapter 1386 Bonding With His Family
Nicole was a little flattered. “Is this me in your painting?”
“Yes, of course. I’m still not skillful enough to make it look as beautiful as you.”
“It’s not that case. Your painting looks even more beautiful than me.”
“No way. You look more gorgeous,” said Evan.
Nicole felt even more embarrassed to hear this. She looked at him and said, “Mr. Evan, you should be more humble.”
“Why should I be humble when I’ve made the most beautiful woman in this world my wife?”
“Evan, don’t be like this in front of everyone else. It’s embarrassing!”
The quadruplets immediately chimed in after noticing Nicole’s shyness.
“Mommy, it’s normal for Daddy to praise you. You’re supposed to be the most beautiful woman in Daddy’s eyes,” said Maya honestly.
“Mommy, not only Daddy, you’re the prettiest woman in our eyes, too.”
“That’s right. Mommy, you’re the most beautiful!” Nina praised.
“I agree. Mommy is the most beautiful.” Kyle kept it simple.
Sheila gave Nicole an envious look. “Nicole, does Evan always give you sweet talk? I can’t picture someone as serious as him saying sweet nothings to you. Look at Davin. He has never praised me.” She then glared at Davin.
Davin was upset to hear that. “That’s not true. I always give you compliments!”
“Oh, do you? I don’t recall anything, though!”
“I swear I did praise you!”
“For what?”
Davin cleared his throat. “Didn’t I emphasize how loud you could be? Also, you’re the most violent wife out there. You’re the best at spending my money, and you’re also the best at ordering me around!”
Sheila shot him a death glare. “Davin, keep up with it. I don’t mind telling the whole world I’m in charge of the family as long as you don’t feel embarrassed.”
Davin was startled. He swept a glance at everyone and realized it was embarrassing to talk about this stuff in front of the kids. She’s right. I shouldn’t be airing our dirty laundry in public.
“Anyway… Nicole, it’s your occasion we’re celebrating today. Why don’t you say something?”
“Me? But I have nothing much to say. Thank you for coming. I’ve received all of your blessings, and I promise I will work harder to make this hospital’s existence more meaningful to our society.”
“Great speech! Nicole, don’t forget to tell us if you need us to make a donation to the hospital.”
“Sure thing.”
Juan suddenly lifted Sally’s hand. “Mommy, remember to find Sally too if you need donations. Sally grew up as an orphan, and she has been through a lot of hardships, so she knows how important it is to lend a helping hand to people in need. Am I right?”
Sally smiled calmly. “That’s right. Mrs. Seet, you can just let me know whenever you need me. I love helping people and sharing my blessings with those in need.”
“Sure. I’ll keep it in mind.”
Sally then looked at Juan and whispered, “Thank you for this opportunity.”
“You’re welcome.” Juan smiled cheekily. He knew there would be more opportunities in the future to make her suffer in silence.
Sally had seen through his intentions, and she gave him a knowing smile. “Thank you for giving me the chance to get closer to your mother.”
Juan frowned. What does she mean? Did she want to get closer to Mommy? Is she planning something against Mommy?
“You’d better not mess around.” Juan glared coldly at her.
Sally snorted. “Why would I mess around? I’ll be part of your family soon, and this is my chance to bond with your mother, who also happens to be my future mother-in-law.”
Juan scrutinized Sally. He knew Sally must be up to something.
