Chapter 1637 Love Cannot Be Forced
Zayden nodded. “Thanks, Sally, my beloved sister-in-law.”
Sally took a glance at Kyle and blushed. “You’re welcome. Enjoy your food.”
After finishing the fish, Zayden had another bowl of soup. He then hopped down from his seat and rubbed his belly. “Look at my stomach. It’s so full. I can’t eat anymore.”
“You can continue during lunch.”
Kyle looked at his belly and could not help but think of Maya. Zayden looked just like her when she was little.
“Okay.”
“Let’s go and play! Luke is going to be here any minute.”
“Okay!”
The two children held their hands and left for the living hall.
Half an hour later, Tiffany brought Luke to the house. The three little ones were excited to meet with each other, and they started running all over the living hall.
While Sophia had gone out with Sally to buy maternity essentials, Sheila and Tiffany stayed home to catch up with each other.
“Do you miss Levant?” Sheila asked.
Tiffany grinned. “I don’t know. I’ve been occupied with the company and the winery, so I don’t really have much time to think about him.”
“You’re only busy during the day, but how about at night? Do you think of him?”
Tiffany kept mum.
Upon noticing Tiffany’s reaction, Sheila smiled. “You must have missed him. Evan and Nicole will be coming over tonight. Levant will be here too, I suppose? You should be able to see him tonight.”
“Really? I’m not sure.”
“Not sure about what?”
“I’m not sure if he’s coming back. He didn’t call.”
Sheila was left speechless. “Can’t you give him a call? Stop being so passive and don’t act like you don’t care. You need to take the initiative to win the man’s heart!”
“I used to be the one who made the first move, but he didn’t seem to show any interest in me.”
Sheila sighed but continued to encourage her, “Perhaps you need to try a little harder. That’s how I got married to Davin. I’ve been trying to get his attention since preschool, and it took me twenty years to win him over. I’m sure you can do it too.”
“I can’t just force someone to fall in love with me, and I don’t want to put pressure on him. I’m fine with how we treat each other now.”
Sheila let out another sigh. “Don’t you know love has no logic? The same goes for our feelings. Who says love can’t be forced? Look how happy Davin and I are.”
“It’s different. Davin was not deeply in love with someone else, so it’s easier for you to win his love. Levant is different…”
“You mean Levant is still in love with Nicole?”
Tiffany responded with a smile. “Only he knows where his heart belongs. I’m happy to give Luke a place he could call home and have a career of my own. That’s all I could hope for.”
Sheila began to think of what Tiffany had said. She’s right. She may not have a relationship, but at least she’s a successful businesswoman. We can’t have it all, can we?
Evan and Nicole finally returned to Imperial Garden in the evening. Joy ran up to her and hugged her thigh. “Mommy, you’re home! I missed you.”
“I missed you too. You’ve grown taller.” Nicole gently stroked the back of Joy’s head.
“Sleep with me tonight, okay, Mommy?”
Nicole nodded. “Sure.”
Upon hearing that, Zayden tilted his head to look at Evan. “I want to sleep with all of you too!”
Joy turned around and looked at him. “Hey, they’re my daddy and mommy. Why should they sleep with you?”
Zayden pouted. “But you slept with my daddy and mommy too. My mommy hugged you last night, and when you woke up in the middle of the night, my daddy carried you! They even tossed me aside and forgot about me. Why can’t I sleep with your daddy and mommy tonight?”
