Chapter 1615 Dowry And Inheritance
Nina and Maya were not there to defend themselves. Therefore, Nicole believed that she had to defend their rights.
Nicole then said, “Evan, if you love them as much as you love our sons, why won’t you give them dowry? Even ordinary families provide dowries for their daughters in the event of marriage. You’re the president of Seet Group. You will be a laughingstock if you’re this stingy.”
However, Evan smiled upon hearing her. “Why should I care whether others are laughing at me? Once I return to the country, I’ll issue a statement about this.”
“What statement? Are you going to say that our daughters won’t have dowries?” Nicole asked.
“That’s right! My daughters shall only marry for love! They marry because they and their chosen partners love each other. It must not be for any other reasons,” Evan answered.
He then continued, “No man can seek to marry my daughters to gain material wealth or opportunities for advancement. I will reject such people right away! Furthermore, my daughters’ boyfriends must be capable and of good character. Only such men are worthy of marrying my daughters!”
Nicole became silent.
She wondered if this was the difference between a father’s and a mother’s love.
Nevertheless, she admitted that Evan considered things more thoroughly than she did. She only wanted to let her daughters live comfortable lives no matter who they married. However, she did not consider the troubles their dowries would attract.
Therefore, on second thought, she believed that Evan was right.
Nina and Maya are talented, and they’ve achieved much success in make-up and culinary respectively. Therefore, they should find men even more successful than they are. They deserve men who can take care of them and provide them with an even brighter future. Only such men are worthy of Maya and Nina. Love is not about being well-matched in social and economic status. It is more important to have similar values and worldviews.
Seeing that Nicole was silent, Evan sighed and said, “I refuse to give them dowry. However, it doesn’t mean that I’m not giving them an inheritance!”
Inheritance?
Nicole was shocked to hear that word. “You are still healthy and well. Why do you suddenly mention inheritance?”
Evan answered, “Nicole, don’t worry. I will walk with you for the rest of your life! By the time we are old, Nina and Maya should already be married and have children. They should also understand their husbands’ character well by then! If they were to receive an inheritance at that time, they would know how to manage it wisely. They can choose to keep it for themselves or use it to support their husbands. We will also feel more at ease knowing that they can decide for themselves.”
Evan’s words moved Nicole. Now, she knew that he loved Nina and Maya and wanted the best for them. Evan was undoubtedly a good father.
“Nina and Maya are blessed to have you as their father,” Nicole said.
“Nicole, you must not tell them about the inheritance. However, you can tell them and their chosen partners that I won’t provide a dowry for them,” Evan added.
“Don’t worry. I understand. I won’t tell Nina and Maya about the inheritance,” Nicole replied.
Evan nodded and caressed Nicole’s face gently as if he was touching a precious jewel. “You’ve lost a lot of weight in the past few days from worrying about Nina. I think you should rest early tonight.”
“I will. I can finally rest assured now that I know Nina is fine,” Nicole said.
Evan hugged her and said softly, “I’ll give you a bath, okay?”
Nicole chuckled and said, “You wouldn’t do this unless you want something. Mr. Seet, what do you want from me?”
“Haven’t you guessed?” Evan asked her back.
He then lifted her and carried her to the bathroom.
Soon, Nicole found herself soaking in a flower petal bath and enjoying a personal massage from Evan. However, she could not help thinking about her children.
Nina needs to avenge herself. Kyle’s girlfriend is pregnant. Maya and Wilbur are on holiday overseas. Lastly, Juan… Juan and Skyler are investigating Riley. All of them are involved in something. But why do I feel that something is wrong?
Suddenly, Nicole said to Evan, “By the way, Juan still hasn’t got a girlfriend at his age. You should do something.”
Evan was stunned by her sudden comment. How are you still able to think about Juan now? You are always concerned about our children.
“Don’t worry. I talked to Juan about it the night Steven tried to blow up Imperial Garden. He promised to get married and have kids once the matter was over. After he has finished investigating Riley’s background, I’ll get him to fulfill his promise,” Evan replied.
Nicole looked at Evan in shock. “Are you saying that Juan agreed?”
