Nicole knew he was right. Sylphiette might harm the kids.
She wasn’t the decision maker, so she might not be able to protect them.
“Take care of them,” she told Davin.
“Don’t worry, Nicole.”
After walking out of the rear house, Nicole went to the main house.
She was anxious as she tried to imagine how Sylphiette would react upon seeing her. She could expect her stepsister’s reaction, but she didn’t know how Evan would react.
The only thing that mattered to her was Evan’s decision.
At the main house, she went to Sylphiette’s room. She hadn’t even entered the room when she heard Sylphiette wailing pitifully, trying to win Evan’s sympathy.
The woman kept complaining about how unwell she was and how horrible the kids were. She even insinuated Nicole was the one who instigated the kids to do so.
Men will pity and protect crying women, right? That sudden thought flashed across her mind. This was a question she didn’t know the answer to because she didn’t have the experience.
She tried to eavesdrop on them, but she couldn’t hear what Evan’s reply was.
He must be wiping off her tears worriedly while trying to console her.
His heart must be breaking.
The more he is concerned for Sylphiette, the more he’ll hate me!
After taking a deep breath, she mustered her courage and entered Sylphiette’s room.
At the sound of her footsteps, both Evan and Sylphiette swiveled around to her.
Nicole met their gazes.
She saw Sylphiette’s pretty face streaked with tears.
Evan was standing right in front of the bed, emotionless. There was an icy air about him which made Nicole tensed up.
Before she could speak, Sylphiette yelled, “Nicole, do you hate me that much? I nearly died back there!”
“I don’t mean it. The kids were wrong, so I’m here to apologize. How do you feel now? What do you need me to do?” Nicole asked sincerely.
As she was here to apologize, she wanted to settle the matter quickly lest Sylphiette nitpicked on her and cause the matter to escalate.
After saying that, Nicole peeked at Evan who seemed confused.
He doesn’t believe I’m sincere?
“Apology? I was in the pond for so long! I nearly died! Will an apology suffice? Where are the kids? I want to ask them why did they do that!” Sylphiette demanded angrily.
Well, I know she won’t let me off easily, Nicole mused.
Hence, she remained sincere and uttered, “I didn’t teach the kids well, so it’s all my fault. Take it out on me. Tell me what I can do to make things better.”
Sylphiette was waiting for her to say that.
She promptly turned to Evan and pretended to ask for his approval.
“She’s here to apologize to you. Say what you want her to do.”
Sylphiette was delighted by Evan’s answer.
Her eyes gleamed as she enunciated her request clearly, “Nicole, I’m afraid of the kids. Please move out of Rose Garden with them.”
Move out?
Indeed, Sylphiette is afraid she’ll lose Evan. She even found Rocky to achieve her goals. That means she has always wanted me to move out.
Since she has that thought in mind, she won’t stop until she achieves her goal.
I’m busy with my clinic, so I have no time for her antics. What if she hurts the kids?
