Chapter 1688 Cross My Heart
Seeing how strange Skyler acted, Davin decided to be more cautious. That guy is probably up to something.
At Violet Café, Evan and Nicole were having a peaceful moment enjoying their coffee while listening to soft music.
Evan gazed at his wife with his pair of obsidian eyes as if she was a fine piece of art.
Even though twenty years had passed, Nicole still seemed as though she had not aged a day. Instead, she looked more graceful and attractive.
As time passed, Nicole had become a more mature woman.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have something on my face?”
“Yes. You have beauty on your face.”
“Do I? I’m almost an elderly woman now.”
“To me, you’ll always be beautiful, no matter how old you are.”
Flattered, Nicole could not help chuckling. “Wow, what did they put in that cup of coffee of yours?”
“I can talk like this every day if it tickles your fancy.”
Nicole did not hate it, but still, she was not used to seeing Evan like that.
“You want something, don’t you? Let me be clear. I’m not going to have another baby, and nothing you say will change my mind.”
“What? What makes you think I want another baby? Even if you want one, I’m not going to allow it. It’s too risky for you to be pregnant at this age.”
“Good. Then you may carry on. Your flattery is music to my ears.”
“Nicole, is sweet-talking really that important to women?”
“I think so. If a woman gets flattered frequently, she’ll be in a good mood, which will slow down the aging process. Think of it like this. Makeup and beauty products are for our outer beauty, but flattery is for our inner beauty. Both are just as important.”
“I’ll do well to keep that in mind. Seeing how you already have your outer beauty covered, I’ll be sure to do whatever I can to continue nurturing your inner beauty and make you the most beautiful woman in the world.”
“Promise?”
“Cross my heart and hope to die.”
“I believe you. To be honest, I’m already pretty happy now. I just hope that all three of my daughters can be as happy as I am. I pray that they find someone like you.”
“Someone like me?” Evan was slightly surprised by his wife’s statement.
“Mm-hmm! Even though our journey together wasn’t easy, we somehow managed to make our relationship work. That’s just how love is, right? It’s full of ups and downs. I’m just glad that it was you standing by my side. So yes, I hope that they find someone like you.”
Although Evan was unsure how to respond to that, he felt warm on the inside.
The man considered himself fortunate that he and Nicole ended up together, despite everything they had been through.
Speaking of their daughters reminded Nicole of Nina’s situation. “Do you think Nina and Stephen will end up together?”
“She’s an adult now, so stop worrying so much about her love life. All you have to do right now is watch Joy grow up.”
Nicole nodded in agreement. “What do you say we go see Joy later?”
“Sure.”
The two then finished their coffee and went to get some gifts before heading to Seet Residence.
At this moment, Zayden and Joy were playing a game of hide-and-seek.
“Get ready! I’m going to count down now!” Zayden shouted while covering his eyes with his little hands.
Hurriedly, Joy hid in the study, waiting for Zayden to start searching for her.
“Ten, nine, eight…”
As soon as the countdown was over, Zayden turned around and started looking for Joy.
