However, Nina and Maya could not understand why.
They thought that Evan was biased and that he only liked sons but not daughters.
Maya was glaring at him in resentment.
On the other hand, Nina did not react in any extraordinary manner. After all, she had always disliked Evan.
She grabbed Maya’s hand. “Time for school!”
“I want to go to Grant Kindergarten too.”
Nicole was in a tough spot. Right now, she did not have the money to send both of them to such an elite kindergarten. She raised her head and glanced at Evan.
He found it ridiculous. Why is she looking at me? They’re not my daughters anyway. Their schools have nothing to do with me!
“Maya, we don’t need to go there. Our current kindergarten is great!” Nina consoled Maya.
Maya pouted. “B-But…”
“Maya, let’s go to our kindergarten first. When I have the money, I’ll transfer you to another school, okay?”
Nicole stroked the little girl’s head. At that moment, she could not help but realize the importance of money.
“Daddy, why don’t I switch with Maya and let her go to Grant Kindergarten? I want to attend my old kindergarten instead.”
Evan voiced his opposition immediately after Juan spoke. “No way! You can’t switch!”
Evan’s stance was firm, offering no possibilities of negotiation.
Juan stuck his tongue out, feeling stumped.
Nina scoffed haughtily. “Maya, let’s see if you’ll still call him a goodie!” With that, she grabbed her bag and strode out.
Maya walked towards Evan furiously with her hands on her hips. “Y-You’re not a goodie!”
Then, with a scornful snort, she stomped out of the living room.
A flash of surprise appeared on Evan’s cold face. She only knows how to complain about people not offering her kindness, while completely disregarding the fact that she’s been staying under my roof free of charge! How dare she says I’m not a goodie? But then again, I wouldn’t expect the children of Nicole to behave any better than their mother herself!
“Daddy, you shouldn’t treat them like that.” After speaking, Juan walked out furiously with his bag.
“Daddy, are you in dire lack of money? If not, why did he refuse to let Maya and Nina go to Grant Kindergarten?” After throwing him that question, Kyle followed Juan out of the mansion with a solemn expression.
Evan was speechless. What’s going on? How did I become everyone’s enemy? I’ve been helping them out so much, yet they’re claiming the moral high ground now. Why is it my obligation to let other children attend an elite kindergarten?
Evan found it ridiculous. Kyle must have said that because he was influenced by Nicole. Seems like I must have a proper talk with Nicole.
“Come to my study room after sending the kids.”
When Nicole heard Evan’s words, her heart skipped a beat.
Before she could respond, Evan walked up the stairs steadily.
Then, Nicole sent the children to their respective kindergarten.
Gazing at her two daughters, she felt extremely guilty.
If Evan knows that Nina and Maya are his daughters, will he treat them equally as the boys?
But if Evan knows the truth, will he keep the four children for himself and chase me away, forcing us apart?
After deliberating for quite some time, Nicole still could not reach a resolution. Hence, she decided to meet Evan and assess his attitude first. If he kept refusing, she would plead with him. She did not mind being a maid to the family if he was willing to protect the children.
When Nicole returned to Hillside Villa, she knocked on the door before walking into Evan’s study room nervously.
With a lowered head, he was reviewing the contracts seriously. The sunlight shone on his cold face, making him seem gentler than usual.
People always said that a woman looked the best when she was serious at work. However, Nicole had to admit that a serious man was equally handsome too.
Every action of his exuded an elegant and dignified aura, causing an image to surface in Nicole’s mind.
She was so engrossed in watching the man that her heart pounded rapidly as her lips curled upwards into a smile uncontrollably.
When Evan raised his head, he saw that Nicole was grinning and her smile becoming brighter as time passed.
