Now he finally knew what ‘regret’ meant.
“Evan, is that you?”
Evan lifted his gaze and fell on Sofie Sweeting, who was standing in front of him. He froze when he saw her. Who would’ve thought I’d bump into her here. This is another reason why I shouldn’t have come out tonight.
“Evan, are you still mad about last time? It was my fault, and I’m willing to change. I’ll never repeat the same mistakes again.”
“You and the Sweeting family had already paid the price for that. Don’t bring it up anymore,” he replied in annoyance. Right now, he did not even want to see her face.
In fact, it would be better if Sofie stayed away from him from now on.
The woman stiffened for a moment, but a smile formed on her face the next second.
“Does this mean you will forgive me, Evan? Thank you! I have something to tell you. I’ll go to your place tonight!”
She smiled shyly and without waiting for his answer, she turned her body and left the scene.
Evan frowned. Do women have the habit of jumping to their own conclusions? Both Nicole and Sofie are like that!
This thought had him dumbstruck.
When they were about to return home from the dessert store, Maya ran towards him with a bright smile.
He stared at her chubby and naïve look. I really can’t put it into words how Nicole gave birth to such a cute girl.
“What is it?”
“I-I…”
“Just tell me what you want.”
Evan’s tone was gentle when speaking to the girl.
Maya’s clear and big eyes lit up. “Say, since you’re this rich, is there a difference between buying one piece cake and ten pieces of cakes for you?”
Evan thought for a while before shaking his head.
“Then what about twenty pieces?”
He lightly shook his head again and seeing this, Maya’s smile grew bigger.
“You want me to buy twenty pieces of cakes to bring back home?”
She nodded first, but then she shook her head when a thought dawned on her.
“Then, what do you want?”
“I want… I want to bring home forty pieces.”
Maya shyly stuck out four of her chubby fingers.
The sight was so adorable that even the usually cold-hearted Evan had melted.
Forty pieces?
“Can you finish them all?”
“I’ll give it to everyone in the house.”
Oh? I didn’t know she knows what sharing is at her age. Evan nodded and agreed to buy the cakes.
Not long after they went home, the forty pieces of cakes were delivered to Hillside Villa.
Maya excitedly watched as the cakes were taken out of the car. She then took it and gave it to the maids.
“Here. Everyone has a share. Take it.”
“Well…”
The maids looked at each other as they were not used to receiving something like this.
They only accepted it when Evan nodded. Henceforth, Maya had become their favorite kid.
Blake liked her the most as he stared at Maya. When will Mr. Seet have such an adorable daughter like her?
At night, when Evan was about to have dinner, Blake ran to him and hastily reported, “Mr. Seet, Ms. Sweeting is here.”
Upon hearing that, Evan’s expression dimmed. I didn’t think she’d actually come here.
When he was about to tell him not to let her in, Sofie already rushed into the living room with a gift in her hand.
“Evan, I watched the news. They said you have another son, and I’m happy for you. I bought this for him.”
News? The media is so quick to report about Juan.
He switched on his phone and found that it was all about him, Nicole, and the kids on the news.
There were all kinds of arguments and different opinions about this.
The paparazzi…
“Do they not have something better to do!”
Evan’s complexion darkened at the sight of the news.
When Sofie heard this, her face became gloomy.
She saw the news covering about the family of six earlier, saying that Evan had kept his marriage as a secret.
Only the heavens knew how she frustratedly tore all pieces of tissue from the tissue box when she learned that.
