Chapter 1685 That Is My Girl
“That way, I can continue to improve my matchmaking skills, and you get to avoid becoming a pathetic, overage bachelor. Everybody wins!” Davin laughed. “Do you seriously think this is the right time to poke fun at me, Uncle Davin? You should probably start thinking about how you’re going to make it up to Maya.
Wilbur blatantly lied to Maya after getting another woman knocked up. He played with Maya’s feelings right under our noses. Does he think he can mess with us and get away with it? We can’t let that happen, Uncle Davin. It’s time to teach that b*stard a lesson,” voiced Juan in all seriousness.
Standing just beside the two with his eyes narrowed, Kyle finally figured out what was going on. No wonder Uncle Davin was in such a hurry to come over here instead of sleeping the day away. “What did Wilbur do, Maya?”
“I don’t want to talk about it, and I hope that everybody will stop bringing this up. I should’ve known better than to open up myself to a man like Wilbur. Let’s just pretend that I never met the man, okay? You guys don’t have to do anything to him either. It’s just not worth it.”
Davin was surprised to see how calm and reasonable Maya was. Even Nina was inconsolable for a while when she had a relationship problem. It’s only been the second day, and Maya has already let go of Wilbur? How is that possible? “Maya, have you always known that it’s never going to work out between you and Wilbur?”
Deep down, Maya knew that was not true because the more time she spent with Wilbur, the more she grew to like him.
She was even ready to accept the man as her boyfriend before the woman showed up.
It was just that she never expected things to turn out the way they did.
Maya still felt sad and disappointed, but she did not think it was worth making a big fuss out of it.
“Let’s just drop it, okay, Uncle Davin? I’ve whipped up something delicious in the kitchen, so why don’t we go try it out?”
On his way there, Davin was worried that Maya would cry and blame him for her misfortune. However, Davin was relieved when he saw how unaffected Maya was. Maya has really shown herself to be a strong young lady. “Sure. Let’s go grab a bite. But if you ever change your mind, you know you can always come to me, right? We’ll make Wilbur sorry that he was born.”
“Uncle Davin, I couldn’t feel more depressed on my way home from the airport yesterday. But after a good night’s sleep, I feel much better. What happened was probably unavoidable anyway. There was no way I could’ve known what kind of person Wilbur really was; I’m just glad that I figured it out sooner rather than later. Imagine if I only found out after we got married; filing for a divorce would be a nightmare! This is but a minor setback in my life, and I’m ready to overcome it. There’s no need to get even with the man. I mean, I smashed the guy’s head with a wine bottle before I left him to fend for himself, so I’d say we’re even.”
Davin stared at Maya with his eyes wide open. He was utterly impressed by the young woman. And I thought Nina was strong. This girl has completely blown me away! Nina may look strong on the outside, but she’s soft on the inside. And Maya is the complete opposite. Well, I’ll be damned!
“No wonder Wilbur told me that he just got discharged. So you’re the reason he was hospitalized in the first place? Good girl! That’ll show him to mess with us Seets!”
Maya forced a half-smile before adding, “Still, I was pretty scared after assaulting the man even though he deserved it. But if the Simpsons ever come looking for trouble, I’m ready for them.”
“That’s my girl! You have every reason to do what you did, so you don’t have to be afraid. Your uncle Davin’s got your back. Remember that. Now let me go get something to eat.”
“Sure.”
After Davin made his way into the kitchen, Kyle turned to his sister. “Need any help?”
