Chapter 1620 Meeting Nina
“I’m living quite a blissful life as we speak! All right, let’s put my matter aside. Are the two of you staying for dinner?”
Evan forestalled Nicole and replied, “We can’t because there are a few projects that require our attention. We’ll drop by and pay you another visit tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Even after leaving the estate, Nicole still looked evidently troubled.
Seeing that, Evan smiled and asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“I’m wondering the reason Avril is so persistent in courting Dad.”
After all, he has turned her down more than once. She knows her efforts are fruitless, yet she refuses to give up. What is she thinking about? Has she fallen deeply in love with him?
Instead of answering her question, he asked, “What about your father? Why is he so persistent in staying loyal to your mother?”
As Nicole went dead silent, he added, “Love has no reason. Everyone has someone they love, one they could never let go of. When it comes to any other things, efforts will pay off, but not romance.”
“But you can’t deny that sometimes, someone’s effort does bear fruition in a relationship,” she retorted.
“Are you sure the affection the couple has for one another is genuine if that’s the case?”
Once Nicole recalled Levant and Tiffany’s relationship, she remarked, “They could still spend their lives together even they don’t love each other! If Dad’s willing to accept Avril’s feelings—”
“The proper terminology you’re looking for is cohabiting. However, do you think it’s possible when he has never once opened up to Portia in spite of her effort throughout the years? What makes you think Avril is different?”
Nicole thought Evan had a point. Thus, she made up her mind to talk some senses into Avril in order to stop her from wasting her time on her father.
Shortly after the meeting with their business partners from K Nation, Evan discussed with Nicole their upcoming agenda to see Nina at the bar in the evening.
He exhorted Nicole to only watch from the side. She was not allowed to talk to Nina for fear of causing trouble for their daughter.
Nicole responded with a nod, but her mind was all over the place as she wondered just how bizarre Nina’s appearance was.
Still, she could not suppress the excitement of seeing her daughter in person and eagerly awaited nightfall.
In the evening, Evan brought her to Vamped.
“We’ll find an inconspicuous seat later. No matter what you see, you have to remain calm.”
“Don’t worry. I only wish to see Nina; I won’t do anything.”
Shortly after she reassured him, he signaled her to turn around.
Following his gaze, Nicole saw a young woman dressed in a revealing outfit and high heels.
On top of her smokey makeup, she had flamboyant hair. Even though it was not rainbow-colored as Nicole had dreamed, there were at least three different colors.
In short, the young woman was nothing similar to Nina in her memories.
Unable to believe that she was her daughter, Nicole asked, “Evan, are you sure she’s Nina?”
“I’m almost certain.”
With that, she swept her gaze across the young woman. Nina, your style change is crazy! Even when I’m standing before you, I can’t even bring myself to believe you’re my daughter!
The couple had their eyes glued to the young woman and saw her grabbing a seat at the bar and getting herself a glass of wine.
While swiveling the wineglass, she scrolled through her phone and made a call.
At that sight, Nicole asked, “Who is she calling?”
“Let’s not poke our nose into her business as long as she’s all right. She can do whatever she wants.”
Instead of replying to Evan, she fastened her gaze at their daughter for some time before asking, “How long is it going to take until she gets her revenge?”
The man pondered for a moment and answered, “Nina doesn’t like to drag things on. I’m sure it’ll only take her a few more days at most.”
“Once she gets her revenge, let’s take her away with us! I can’t watch her keep this act up!”
