Chapter 1894 He Belongs To Me
That night, Evan inquired about the audition. Nicole didn’t tell him about someone shoving her, merely saying that the audition went smoothly, and she only had to wait for the filming to start officially.
“When the time comes, I’ll go and support you.”
“What about Bernian Hospital, then? Didn’t you say that you’ll help me manage the hospital?”
“I’m just going to go occasionally, not stick by your side all the time. I’ll choose a time when it isn’t busy at the hospital to go over.”
“Hmm… All right then.” Nicole nodded smilingly.
Subsequently, Evan asked her about Wilbur and Maya’s display of affection on the set, which he had seen online. He expressed his satisfaction at Wilbur’s proclamation that he would only have a single female lead in his life and would never act alongside any other female celebrities.
“Never had I expected Wilbur to be so loyal to Maya that he would even decline to film with other women. Such devotion is really rare.”
“Indeed. Following his declaration, all the women on set envied Maya and even lauded them as a match made in heaven!”
Nicole was beside herself with joy, delighted on behalf of Maya.
No sooner had she said that than the clatter of high heels drifted over from the staircase. Nina hastily walked over to them and inquired about that matter.
“Mommy, did you witness Wilbur and Maya’s public display of affection on set with your own eyes?”
Nicole nodded in affirmation. “Yup, I also happened to be there.”
“I really didn’t expect Wilbur to utter such a remark. I’m even jealous of Maya now. How incredibly lucky that she found a boyfriend who’s so loyal and treats her so well on her first try! How envious! Undeniably, Lady Luck is smiling on her!”
“Don’t say that. You’re lucky as well. Anyway, she makes a good match with Wilbur. He’s blessed that he has the good fortune to be with my daughter!” Evan exclaimed.
Pouting, Nina lowered her head and looked at the trending post again. Then, she remarked that it was great publicity for Sheila’s movie that the male and female leads loved each other so much that they put on a display of affection on set though filming hadn’t yet started. She reckoned that there would be quite a number of people who would watch the movie because of Wilbur and Maya’s profound love.
Nicole nodded once more and added that someone on set vowed to watch the movie just because of that.
“In that case, Uncle Davin and Aunt Sheila should really thank Maya.”
“We’re a family, so that doesn’t matter. Besides, they’ve been great to all of you throughout the years. Everyone should be happy that they can do her a favor.”
“You’re really magnanimous, Mommy!”
“Isn’t it being formal to be so calculative among family members? They’ve never been calculative toward us either!”
“That makes sense, so you’re right, Mommy! I’m going upstairs to look for Maya and remind her to save these news reports. If Wilbur wants to go back on his word in the future, she can then take them out and confront him!”
After saying that, Nina clattered up the steps on her high heels again.
“What an unrestrained kid!” A smile bloomed on Nicole’s face as she watched her daughter hurrying up the stairs.
Janice happened to see the trending news about Wilbur and Maya. Her expression darkened frightfully.
Although she was forced to get engaged with Nicholas, the person she loved was still Wilbur. At the sight of the latter promising Maya his devotion for a lifetime, jealousy and envy deluged her. Hatred toward Maya even bubbled within her.
She tried convincing herself that he didn’t give Maya such a promise because he loved her. No, it’s just because… because she’s Evan Seet’s daughter and owns shares in Seet Group. He wants a collaboration with Seet Group, so he needs her to pave the way. Therefore, he’s merely utilizing her. He’s definitely using her! Yes, that’s it! That must be it!
She clenched her hands hard, repeating that to herself time and again so that she would actually believe it.
Then, she dipped her head and glanced down at her slightly bulging belly.
With this child and my engagement with Nicholas, I’ll be able to enter the Simpson residence anytime. Thus, there’ll definitely be an opportunity in the future to bag him! Maya, I’ll make sure that Wilbur loathes you! He’s mine! He belongs to me! Let’s just wait and see!
