Chapter 1602 Together Forever
After washing up and leaving the bathroom, Nicole saw Evan picking clothes for her from the wardrobe.
At that, she sighed and said, “Evan, you’re spoiling me silly. I’m so scared of leaving you. I’m scared that once I leave you, I won’t want to do anything nor would I be able to do anything.”
“Why would you leave me? We’ll be together forever,” Evan said to Nicole in a serious tone, to which the latter smiled and nodded.
That was their wish, but who could predict the future? Nevertheless, perhaps God would let them stay together forever after all that they had been through.
For now, Nicole felt that she was living a blissful life. Everything that Evan did and planned warmed her heart.
After that, the two went to the dining room. Juan, Kyle, Sally, and Skyler were already by the table, waiting for them to have breakfast.
Once Juan spotted his parents, he immediately started praising the chef’s work.
“Mommy, Daddy, look at the breakfast today. This is amazing. The chef really poured his heart and soul into a Chanaen spread. The shrimps look so fresh and juicy.”
“They’re not for you; they’re for Sally.”
Nicole’s words made Juan stiffen.
“Mommy, how can she finish this whole plate by herself?” With that, he turned to Sally and said, “Look at all these other dishes. You should try them too.”
Right as Sally was about to say that she did not like shrimps, Skyler took the plate and placed it in front of her.
“Finish them up, Sally. Don’t leave anything behind. What you have in your belly is the Seet family’s baby. Only id*ots would try to steal shrimps from you.” Then, Skyler glared at Juan.
Juan snorted and put down his fork before trying to reason with Skyler.
“Was that necessary? I think that, since we have so many delicious dishes, it’s better for her to eat a bit of everything. That way, she’ll get a more balanced diet, which would in turn be better for the baby. You’re simply petty. Do you think I need to steal shrimps from you if I want to eat them? I just need to ask the chef to make another plate for me. Or could it be that the Maupays have to snatch from each other just to have a bite of their food? Is that why you think our family will do that? I’ll tell you now that you’re thinking too much. There’s no need for such action in Imperial Garden. I’m sure you’ll be way healthier when you eat happily and calmly.”
Skyler never thought that Juan could say so much in one breath.
After a brief second of silence, he snarled, “What do you mean? Are you saying that the Maupays are refugees who don’t get to eat well? Do you have to be so sarcastic to us even at mealtimes? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
“Me? How can you blame me for this? I’m just analyzing your behavior.”
“I… I didn’t do anything wrong. You’re just accusing me of doing that!”
“So you’re telling me that you weren’t snatching the shrimps away from me?”
“I-I snatched that for Sally!”
“Snatching. Do you hear yourself? Snatching means you’re uncivilized!”
“Hey, who did you just say is uncivilized?”
“Were you born to be each other’s nemesis? Every time you’re together, you’re fighting. Neither of you is allowed to talk at the dinner table from now on,” Kyle cut them off.
Evan, who was silent the entire time, abruptly shot Juan a look. “Juan, after me and your mommy leaves, don’t eat with them anymore. You’ll be eating alone.”
“Daddy, why?”
“I think that you need a more balanced diet. Tell the chef whatever you want to eat when it’s time for your meals.”
Juan pressed his lips into a thin line. “Daddy, I don’t think that you’re trying to get me to have a more balanced diet. You’re just scared that I’m too aggressive and will hurt Skyler. That’ll upset Sally and in turn put Kyle in a tight spot, right? You’re doing this for them.”
Nicole then turned to look at him. “No. Your daddy is doing this for your sake. He’s afraid that you won’t be a match for the three of them.”
“Huh? Mommy, Daddy, what do you mean? Do you think that the three of them should gang up against me? What’s the matter? I just don’t like Skyler. What’s wrong with me roasting him a little?”
