“He’s here to look for Nicole, Evan.”
He’s looking for Nicole?
Evan trained his eyes on the man again, his face becoming less and less appealing in his eyes the more he looked at him.
“You’re looking for Nicole?” Evan asked coldly.
“That’s right. How is Nikki doing?” the man asked.
Nikki…
What a cute nickname…
Evan’s stare turned into a glare. “What’s your relationship with her?”
The man smiled brightly. “Nikki’s an attractive woman. We used to live together, you know. Do you understand how great it is to see her everyday?”
‘Live together’…
‘How great it is to see her everyday’…
Could he be Maya and Nina’s biological father?
Evan grimaced.
Sylphiette smiled at the man. “Nicole should be back soon. Why don’t you wait for her inside?”
However, before the man could answer, Nicole walked in with her kids in tow.
When she saw the man standing in the yard, her jaw dropped. “Why are you here?”
“I’m here to look for you, Nikki. I’m sure you need someone to help out in your clinic?” he asked.
“H-how did you know about the clinic?” she asked, dumbfounded.
“Oh, I told him about it,” Sylphiette said hurriedly. “He asked about you just now.”
Nicole stared at Sylphiette in shock. No wonder she asked me if I loved someone else last night! She planned all this!
However, she had to give Sylphiette credit for tracking him down so quickly.
The man’s name was Rocky, and he had been Nicole’s classmate back when they were learning acupuncture. He had tried and failed to propose to her, and they lost contact after returning home.
Nicole knew that Sylphiette had a part to play in this since there was no way Rocky could have known where she lived.
Is she trying to push me into another man’s arms so that she could have Evan to herself?
The dedication…
Evan’s fiery gaze bore into her as he spoke, “Hey, aren’t you going to tell us who he is?”
Nicole glanced at Rocky. “Introduce yourself.”
Rocky nodded. “My name is Rocky, and I used to be in the same med school as Nikki. I specialize in acupuncture, so I was wondering if I could join Nikki’s clinic.”
Evan did not seem satisfied with his answer. “Are you Maya and Nina’s father?”
“He isn’t,” Nicole answered curtly.
Rocky grinned. “Maybe it’ll be true in the future.”
He isn’t their father!
Evan walked over to Nicole with a cold expression on his face. “How many men have you slept with so far?”
Nicole frowned and glared at him. Just one so far, you jerk!
You’re Maya and Nina’s father, for goodness’ sake!
I’ve got nothing to do with this!
“Why are you looking at me like that? Are you scared that I’m going to tell him…?”
“Just say it.”
Nicole could not care less about what Rocky thought.
After all, she had no feelings for him.
Evan turned around to glare at Rocky, much to her excitement. “You can be the girls’ father, but I’m the father of the boys! You’d better remember that!”
Nicole was a little taken aback by his words, but she put on a calm expression and looked on with her hands crossed in front of her chest.
Why is he so eager to tell Rocky about this!
Is he trying to make Rocky suspicious of me?
Sylphiette began to panic. Can’t he just let that man take Nicole away from him?
Why is he tearing everything down already?
“Evan, let bygones be bygones. Just let Nicole have a fresh start, would you?” Sylphiette asked as she walked forward and linked arms with Evan.
It seemed like a harmless gesture, but everyone could tell that she meant to emphasize her relationship with Evan.
