Chapter 1492 Like Husband And Wife
Maya started sobbing as she implored Wilbur to help her find her mother. She felt that it was the ultimate tactic of acting coquettish and playing cute.
After all, she had just seen a statement that read: A woman’s tears are her greatest weapon. Hence, she decided to use her greatest weapon right then.
In her carelessness, she neglected to read the emphasis that followed: Tears are the greatest weapon in front of someone who loves you. But if the person doesn’t love you, it won’t do you any good even if you cry rivers.
At her sudden weeping, Wilbur felt rather discombobulated.
But still, he did his best to mollify her. “Uh… Please stop crying. I’ll help you search for your mother.”
“It’s not just helping to search, but you’ve got to find her. You must locate her!”
“Sure, sure. P-Please stop crying first. I promise that I’ll do my best to find her.”
Maya wiped her tears as she inwardly exclaimed, This tactic is truly effective! “When can you locate her? Since you said you’re a reliable person just now, do give me a reliable time frame.”
At once, Wilbur was caught between a rock and a difficult place. On the one hand, it’s Mr. Seet’s order, and on the other, it’s crystal clear tears that tug on my heartstrings. What should I do?
“I’ll put in every effort, but I can’t promise you a time frame. However, I promise that your mother will definitely be fine.”
“Okay, I trust you. Kyle said that you sought him out to hear what he had to say about things! Rest assured that I’ll thank you properly after finding my mother. Your help won’t be in vain!”
Wilbur didn’t quite know what to say to that.
It’s really a pity. If Mr. Seet were to allow me to help, I’d certainly be able to locate Mrs. Seet within two days, considering my influence. What a shame that I’m going to miss this opportunity to make a good impression in front of Maya just like that! But why is it that he’s reluctant to reveal Mrs. Seet’s whereabouts?
That piqued his curiosity.
After he drove Maya back to Imperial Garden, Maya happened to bump into Zayden and Joy.
“Wilbur drove you home again, Maya?”
“Yup. Did the two of you not go to school?”
“We just came back from school,” Zayden replied.
“Maya, you and Wilbur are a match made in heaven!” Joy regarded Maya with a wide grin on her face.
That remark took Maya aback. “Do you know what that means when you’re so young?”
“It means that the girl is pretty while the boy is handsome. They’re a perfect match, looking sweet like husband and wife!”
“Nonsense! We’re not husband and wife! No one in this world makes a perfect match with me. I don’t need a man!” After saying that, Maya continued on her way, stalking off.
“Maya was blushing just now, wasn’t she?”
“Yup, I saw it, too! Heh, she’s shy!”
As the two children’s conversation drifted into her ears, Maya reached out and touched her face, only to find it slightly hot to the touch.
I’m actually blushing? This is strange.
She quickened her pace as she headed back to her room.
Shortly after, another car drove into Imperial Garden. It was Kyle’s car.
At the sight of Kyle and Sally alighting from the car, Zayden looked at Joy in perplexity. “Didn’t they say that Sally is an evil woman in disguise? Why is Kyle with her and why did he even allow her to ride in his car?”
Joy thought for a moment before surmising, “I think Kyle must have a reason for doing so.”
“Then should we still help him?”
“Of course! But we’ve got to do so at the right time. Or else we’ll only be making things worse.”
Hearing that, Zayden pondered for a while before nodding in agreement.
“Luke phoned me earlier and said that he missed us. His mommy and daddy will be bringing him to Imperial Garden in a while.”
“Mr. Levant and Ms. Tiffany are coming? How’s their relationship recently?”
“I heard from Luke that they’re always eating together and even went shopping with him. He’s far happier now than he was in the past.”
“It looks like his plan worked very well.”
“Yup!”
As they were talking, Levant’s family of three arrived. Scrambling out of the car, Luke enthusiastically greeted Zayden and Joy.
When they caught sight of him, they also sprinted over in excitement. The three of the children then studied each other.
“Wow, your shirt is very nice! Is the picture of the robot on it customized? I want one, too!” Zayden’s eyes brimmed with envy.
