“Nicole, this may be Juan’s but it is also the Seet family’s possession. Evan is the director of the Seet Group and of course, he has the power to ask you to leave,” said Sylphiette assertively.
“Forcing me to leave? Dream on! To me, it seems like you’re the one who should leave!” Feeling annoyed, Nicole spouted her words harshly.
“I’m here for Evan… Evan, look! Nicole is telling me to leave!”
Feeling wronged and humiliated, Sylphiette acted aggrieved in front of Evan.
“Be more polite to Sylphiette!”
Although Evan was warning her, his tone was indifferent.
It was so indifferent that he might as well not say anything.
Nicole glared at Sylphiette. “I will be very polite to her,” she said, gritting her teeth.
“You… Evan, look at her attitude…” Sylphiette said as she continued her coquettish behavior in front of Evan.
Nicole could not understand why and how Sylphiette and Evan became close. Reluctant to be around Sylphiette’s pretentious attitude any longer, she strode out of the room.
Sylphiette was staring into Nicole’s back with her eyes harboring hatred as deadly as poison.
It seems that to achieve “happily ever after” with Evan, I would have to obliterate this obstacle called “Nicole” as soon as possible.
The more Nicole thought about it, the more confused she became. What did Sylphiette do to earn Evan’s affection?
Even the way they call each other is so intimate.
Nicole scanned her surroundings, making sure there was no one around. Then, she tried to mimic Sylphiette by calling out Evan’s name in a bashful and pretentious way. Holy crap! It’s so gross. She was so disgusted that she had goosebumps all over her skin. I suppose only Sylphiette is able to act like this.
“Mommy, are you calling for Daddy?”
Nicole jumped in shock when she heard Juan’s sweet and adorable voice. Turning back, she could see Juan with his big obsidian eyes looking at her with amusement.
Nicole’s face heated up instantly. She was not calling for Evan; she was just trying to mimic the actions of that pretentious woman.
“Juan sweetie, you misheard. Mommy did not call for your daddy,” she said, feeling embarrassed.
My hearing is phenomenal; how could I be wrong? Juan blinked his eyes in confusion.
“But Mommy, I really heard you calling out ‘Evan’…”
Juan mimicked her seductive tone.
Flustered, Nicole quickly covered his mouth. “Juan, you’ve heard it wrongly, I swear. Don’t say that again, you hear me?”
Before Juan could express his thoughts, another ‘Evan…’ in a similar tone could be heard across the room.
“Nina, mind your words,” Nicole admonished.
“Evan…”
Mimicking others, Maya too called out the name with a grin on her face. Although her tone was not as coquettish as the others, it was audible enough for Evan, who was walking along the hallway, to hear.
He stopped in his tracks and frowned. Meanwhile, Nicole was holding a finger to her mouth, trying to silence her children.
“Mommy, I learned it from you,” said Maya confidently while looking at Nicole.
“I didn’t say it so loudly.” Nicole looked back at Maya with a serious expression.
“Yeah, you need to say it in a gentler manner,” Nina interrupted while Juan demonstrated by calling out again, “Evan…”
Watching the kids calling his name in such a suggestive way, Evan’s expression immediately turned dark.
What a weirdo Nicole is! What is she teaching the kids?
This is terrible parenting!
Just as Evan was about to get into a fit of rage, he heard Kyle call him ‘Daddy’, which in turn attracted everyone’s attention in the room.
Taking in Evan’s darkened face, Nicole could sense a ferocious storm approaching. Feigning ignorance, her lively eyes flickered as she quickly put on an awkward smile. Then, she turned her back on Evan and sprinted her way into the rear house.
All of the kids exchanged looks. Even Mommy has to run away, so what are the chances of us standing up against Daddy? With that, they ran off frantically too.
“Lucky rascals!” Evan gritted his teeth.
He had an extremely important business to attend to, which was a discussion of a major development project. If not for that, he would definitely catch Nicole and sew her mouth up in front of the kids.
After reaching the rear house, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Maya asked her, “Mommy, why is that wicked woman who kidnapped Juan together with Daddy?”
“You’ll have to ask your Daddy this,” said Nicole.
Maya pondered for a while and replied, “I think that wicked woman is planning to kidnap children again. This should be why she’s coming near us.”
