Chapter 1658 The Maupays Are Here
“I mind,” Nina and Juan responded simultaneously, making Davin frown.
“Why are you two so heartless? I’m your uncle, for God’s sake. What’s wrong with me having a meal here?”
Juan laughed. “It’s not that, Uncle Davin. We merely think that it’s a hassle for you to come so early in the morning. It’s better if we hire a cook for you.”
“That’s right,” Nina chimed in. “There’s not much time in the morning, so it’d be troublesome for you to take the trip. It’s better if we get a cook for you instead.” In actuality, she was worried that Sheila would feel unhappy if Davin left her alone to eat with them.
“In other words, you two are worried about me then.”
Then, Davin sighed and added, “To be honest with you, I don’t really care for the food. I just feel that it’s more lively here. Back at the Seet Residence, it’s only your Aunt Sheila and me, so mealtimes are usually very quiet.”
“Uncle Davin, are you starting to regret not having more kids when you’re young?” Juan teased.
Davin took a glance at him. “Definitely. If I had more kids, the Seet Residence would be so much livelier,” he said and then advised Juan and Kyle to have more children while they were still young.
“Oh right! I forgot that Juan’s still single. I should take this opportunity and introduce someone pretty to you, someone who can balance between family and career well. She can also protect herself and her family and be a good wife and mother. You’ll definitely like her!”
“Have mercy on me, Uncle Davin. I can look for one on my own.”
“Huh? Don’t you trust your uncle? I was the one who found Maya’s boyfriend, you know? Look at them now, all lovey-dovey together. I’m very good at being a matchmaker. You can trust me.” Davin was doing his best to sell himself.
“Maya’s an exception. She’s just silly—” Juan took a glimpse at Nicole and slowly lowered his voice as he continued, “I mean, lucky. We are not the same.”
“Juan, don’t ever say things like that about your sister. Maya’s not silly. She’s very wise.”
“Yes, Mom. Maya’s a smart girl.” Juan pursed his lips.
Who would believe that?
“Let’s eat. We can start planning Juan’s marriage prospects after the situation with Steven is settled,” Evan said as he looked at Davin.
“Sure. I’ll definitely pick out a hot and pretty lady to be Juan’s wife.”
Juan let out a heavy sigh at his words, looking evidently troubled.
Ah, it looks like I’ll have to go into hiding after this.
After breakfast, Evan and Davin chatted casually over tea while Kyle and Juan went to the study upstairs to handle some work matters.
Sally, however, was very anxious. She figured her father and brother would be arriving soon and wondered if Steven could handle Evan.
As she looked around with her heart in her throat, she noticed her father’s car slowly approaching Imperial Garden.
“Mr. Seet, Mr. Maupay is here!” the maid informed.
Hearing that, Evan and Davin looked at each other and ordered someone to get Juan and Kyle, during which Steven and Skyler entered the living room.
“Daddy! Skyler!” Sally welcomed them.
“Sally!”
Steven scrutinized her and was gratified to see that she was unscathed.
“How’s your injury, Skyler?”
“It’s fine now since I took a very long rest.”
“That’s good to hear.”
After the brief conversation, Steven raised his head and looked at the Seet brothers.
“Come, Mr. Maupay. You are our guests. Please have a seat,” Evan greeted politely.
No matter what grudges they had between them, the truth remained that Sally was pregnant with a child of the Seet family. Hence, it was only natural for Evan to show Steven some respect.
At his invite, Steven and Skyler sat on the couch, fretting.
If he had not promised to apologize to Evan in the event of a misunderstanding, Steven would not have done something as disgraceful as that.
