Chapter 1883 The Result Is Out
“I agree with Daddy’s assessment.” Kyle said. “I’ll vote for Aunt Sheila too.”
Sheila glanced at Davin smugly. “That’s three votes for me, Davin. You’re not going to win unless Zayden, Juan, and Joy give you their votes.”
He felt crushed as it seemed like he was destined to lose.
Seeing how depressed he looked, Juan stood up and said, “I’ll give you my vote, Uncle Davin! I don’t think my vote’s going to do much, but I’m willing to support you!”
“Congratulations on winning an encouraging vote!” Sheila exclaimed before looking at the children. “Who are you two voting for?”
Zayden swiftly swallowed the remaining snack into his belly and thought about it seriously. “I really like playing in the underground palace with Daddy, but I’ve eaten Mommy’s snacks. I don’t know who to vote for! It’s so hard to choose between Mommy and Daddy!”
“You can vote for anyone you like, Zayden. There’s no need to take the snacks I gave you into consideration. I hope that you can form your own opinion and make a choice that you think is the best on your own.”
His big, clear eyes blinked a few times. “Really? Then I’ll vote for Daddy!”
Since Juan and Zayden had voted for me, I’ll be tied with Sheep if Joy votes for me too! There’s still hope! When Davin thought about that, his expression was lit up with hope again.
Then, he stared at Joy.
The results depended entirely on that child. “Do you think the underground palace is fun, Joy?”
Joy thought for a bit and nodded.
“How about I build a new underground palace for you and Zayden to play in?”
“How long will it take for the underground palace to be built, Uncle Davin?”
Davin scratched his head. “Maybe one to three years.”
Nina interjected, “One to three years is extremely fast. If you want to build one like Steven’s, you’ll need around ten.”
He shot a glance at her. “I’m talking to Joy right now. Don’t interrupt me.”
She pouted. “I feel like you’re misleading her instead of convincing her, Uncle Davin.”
“Joy is a little know-it-all. How can I mislead her? Besides, she’s different from you. You immediately gave your aunt your vote when she bribed you. Joy isn’t going to be bribed at all, even if Sheep gives her all the snacks she wants. Isn’t that right, Joy?”
Joy snickered. “I want to give half of my vote to Aunt Sheila and you, Uncle Davin. I feel like Aunt Sheila can continue to invest in her movie while you use Steven’s underground palace to make more money. There’s no need to choose when both of you can support each other!”
“That was what I was thinking at first as well,” Nina added.
Maya glanced at her. “I can prove that was what Nina initially thought, but she was enticed to pick the movie.”
“And you’re going to tell me you aren’t enticed? Why did you support Uncle Davin, then? Tell us, Uncle Davin. What benefits did you promise to give to Maya?”
Davin smiled. “There’re no benefits involved. Maya voted for me because she had a deeper relationship with me.”
“I don’t believe you. Maya always has a better relationship with Aunt Sheila. She’s the one who sent Maya back to Rose Garden when she got lost in the past. There’s no way Maya picked you if no benefits are involved.”
“Fine, I admit it! Uncle Davin promised to give me ten percent of the share!” Maya stuck her tongue out.
“You agreed to give him your vote for ten percent? Aunt Sheila can give you more!”
“It’s not only because of that. If it weren’t for Uncle Davin, I wouldn’t have met Wilbur. So, I wanted to thank him.” Maya blushed.
