Chapter 1429 Assumption
“Juan, can you invite Sally home for a meal? I would like to thank her.”
“Mommy, you don’t have to thank her. What she did was just a small thing that’s not worth mentioning.”
“She has agreed to play dead. How can you say that it’s something not worth mentioning? Juan, I want you to invite her to our home tonight, okay? I want to thank her personally, so no more excuses! It’s decided.”
Left with no choice, Juan nodded and replied, “All right. I will give her a call later.”
Kyle, who was standing beside Juan, whispered into his ear, “Didn’t you say that she has an ulterior motive in approaching us? You said that she wants to hurt Mommy, didn’t you? Then why would she help Mommy?”
Juan pondered for a moment and replied, “Maybe her target is not Mommy, but… Daddy?”
Kyle furrowed his brows at that.
“Or she wants to hurt Maya? Nina? You? Me? Grandpa? Grandma? Or Uncle Davin?”
Kyle shot him a glance, feeling that his assumption was getting increasingly far-fetched by the minute. Sally might have her own secret, but Kyle did not believe that she would have any malicious intent on harming the Seet family.
Just then, Nicole’s phone rang.
“Mommy is changing her clothes. Can any one of you pick up her phone?” Maya said to Kyle and Juan while applying nail polish.
Juan took the phone, and the moment he saw the caller ID, he immediately passed it to Kyle.
“Pick up the call. I have got some other things to do. I need to go to the study room to find a document.” With that, he ran toward the study.
Kyle took the phone and was stunned for a few seconds. Right after he returned to his senses, he instantly handed the phone to Maya. “Pick it up.”
Maya looked at Juan in puzzlement and shifted her gaze to Kyle. When she saw the caller ID, she finally knew the reason why they refused to pick up the phone.
It was a call from their grandmother, Sophia.
Lately, Grandma has been very concerned about our personal relationship. If Juan picks up her call, for sure, she will ask him about his relationship progress with Sally. On the other hand, if Kyle picks up her call, she will definitely matchmake him with some girls.
And if I pick up the call… will Grandma set me up with someone, too?
When Maya was hesitating on whether to pick up the phone, it stopped ringing.
“Why didn’t she pick up the call?”
“Maybe Nicole is busy with something else.”
“Grandma, I miss Mommy. I want my mommy,” Joy whined, blinking her big, round eyes.
“Okay. Grandma will bring you to Imperial Garden to find your mommy now, okay?”
“Grandma, I want to go to Imperial Garden too!” Zayden dashed toward Sophia.
“All right, we’ll go together.”
“Mom, I want to go too. It’s been some time since I’ve talked to Nicole. I’ve got something to share with her!” As Sheila spoke, she shot a pointed look at Davin.
Davin’s heart skipped a beat. “Sheep, can you not go around and tell everyone what you’ve done?”
“I can’t. I’m an open and honest person. Besides, I think it’s something to be proud of. I want to show off.”
“What? Show off? Are you serious? I told you that Sasha and I are only friends. But, you… what have you done? Now, we can’t even be friends anymore. She even scolded me and blocked me!”
“This shows that she is heartless and ungrateful! I treated her so well, but look what she did to you? What a wicked woman.”
Davin was at a loss for words.
Sheila’s trick had gotten better than before, and he was truly impressed.
He turned toward Sophia and suspected that she was the one who had taught Sheila all these tricks.
“Davin, why are you looking at me like that?”
“I’m just trying to make sure whether I’m your biological child or Sheep is.”
“Of course, it’s you!”
“But why do I feel like a live-in son-in-law while Sheep is your biological daughter?”
Sophia chuckled. “Don’t doubt it. You are indeed my biological son! However, your status in the family is the same as a live-in son-in-law!”
