Chapter 1877 Returning To Imperial Garden
Davin, who was standing at the side, intentionally gave Sophia a thumbs up and Evan a gloating look.
He was usually the one who got reprimanded by their mother, be it in the form of ear twisting or getting slapped. It was finally his brother’s turn to get scolded.
Evan didn’t care that he was scolded by his mother.
Besides, he knew what his mother’s temperament was like. Once she vented out all her anger and calmed down, she would be fine.
As expected, after shooting a glare at Evan, she began to worry about her granddaughter.
She resumed her reminder to Nicole. “You should care more about Nina and Maya, especially the latter. The Simpson family isn’t as harmonious as ours. They have all kinds of freaks in their family, including Wilbur’s stepmother. She isn’t an easy person to deal with, so you must make sure Maya doesn’t get bullied.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I will.”
“If Wilbur’s stepmother dares to bully Maya, I’ll be the first to settle the score!”
Nicole was a little touched by the old woman’s care. “Maya is lucky to have a grandmother like you. I’ll thank you on her behalf.”
“It’s what I should do as her grandma. There’s no need to thank me for it.”
“That’s right, Nicole. If Maya is ever bullied, Davin and I will also be there to support her. The children of the Seet family are all nice kids who don’t bully people and don’t stay quiet when being bullied,” Sheila added.
“I agree with what you said, Sheep!” Davin added.
She turned to look at him and suddenly recalled an important matter. “Mom, Evan, Nicole, I have something important I need to tell you all.”
“What is it? Why do you sound so serious?” Sophia asked.
Sheila cleared her throat as she wanted to initiate a family meeting to vote for what she would be doing with Davin later on. “It’s time for a family meeting. Everyone has to vote. I hope all of you will cooperate!”
“Can I vote too, Aunt Sheila?” Joy stared at her with big, clear eyes.
“Of course you can. Everyone gets a vote regardless of their age.”
Joy nodded excitedly. “I’ll think carefully as to how I’ll use my vote!”
“Sounds good to me. I’ll give everyone time to make their decision. We’ll have another family meeting after dinner.”
“Then I’ll return to Imperial Garden with Evan first.”
“All right. Remember to call Maya, Nina, and Kyle too. Also, Sa—” Sheila wanted to say Sally, but after glancing at Sophia, she was glad she cut herself off.
It was clear that Sophia’s anger hadn’t fully vanished yet. It would be better if Sally didn’t come, or the situation would get messy.
Everyone understood Sheila’s concern. Nicole nodded in agreement.
“See you all tonight.”
When Evan arrived back in Imperial Garden with Nicole, Nina and Maya welcomed them back. “Welcome back, Mommy, Daddy.”
“You look like you became thinner over the past few days, Daddy. However, you still look handsome! You’re Y City’s most handsome, no, the world’s most handsome man!” said Nina.
“The most handsome man in the whole galaxy!” Maya praised too.
Evan smirked and hugged both of his daughters. “I’m getting old already. Being handsome is no longer something I care about. How are you two doing? Didn’t cause any trouble, I hope?”
“We’ve been working hard, Daddy! We didn’t have time to cause trouble.” Maya glanced at Nina and proceeded to mention how she got back with Wilbur.
Nicole held her hand and stared at her. “I heard about the matter between you and Wilbur, Maya. First of all, I want to congratulate you! I also want to let you know I hope you’ll spend more time with Wilbur and observe his family even further.
The Simpson family can be quite complicated. Love may be something that happens between two individuals, but marriage is something that happens between two families. I only want you to consider the big picture instead of just focusing on what you want.”
