At that thought, Sylphiette turned to Evan. “Evan, say yes. If you miss the kids, you can visit them anytime.”
Evan gazed at Nicole for a long time wordlessly. In the end, he asked, “Are you sure?”
Am I sure?
Ha! Do I have any right to bargain now?
I have no right to do anything I want.
Such is fate.
She suppressed her feelings deep down and nodded calmly.
At her decisiveness, fury rose in Evan’s heart.
Damn you, woman. Are you going to leave your kids for that Rocky?
Do you like him that much?
“Fine! Go ahead! Get out of Rose Garden tomorrow!”
Is he that eager for me to leave? No, he wants me to get out as soon as possible!
“It’s still early, so I’ll try my best to move out by today,” Nicole replied.
That soon?
Did she get herself another place in advance?
She must’ve discussed about it earlier with that man!
At that thought, Evan gritted out, “Good!” before he left the room furiously.
Nicole turned to leave, but Sylphiette called out and stopped her. “Nicole, you’re about to leave. What do you have to say? Look, Evan hates you. He won’t even listen to me if I defend you.”
You b*tch. Defend me?
Ha! How shameless of you to say that. I can’t believe you’re this disgusting.
Nicole spun around and saw how smug Sylphiette was. “I hope you can live in Rose Garden forever, instead of being kicked out!”
“I’m not you. Of course I won’t get kicked out. Soon, I’ll invite you to our wedding.”
Nicole ignored her and left.
Yes, they’ll live together happily ever after without me. Good for them.
But why does my heart ache this much? She thought.
Nicole forced herself to remain calm. It’s a good thing, right? She convinced herself. I need to be cheerful when I inform the girls about the news.
At the thought of her daughters, she suddenly recalled Juan and Kyle.
I don’t even know how they are now. Perhaps I should go and break the news to them.
Stopping in her tracks, she took a deep breath before returning to the main house.
Once she reached Juan and Kyle’s bedroom, she saw them whispering with each other while rubbing their butts.
Upon spotting her, Juan’s eyes shone in delight.
“Mommy.”
“Are you guys okay?”
“Daddy kicked my butt. It hurts!”
“Yes, he kicked us in front of that witch. I didn’t expect him to do that. He had never kicked me before!”
Nicole fell silent as she stared at them. “Your Daddy wants you to remember this lesson. No more next time, alright?”
“Mommy, we won’t let her drown. We just wanted to teach her a lesson.”
“But what if she drowns? You’ll be blamed for her death!”
Nicole’s expression grew stern. “You cannot do something this dangerous again, alright?”
The boys looked at each other before nodding profusely.
Their Mommy was so mad, and they didn’t want to upset her anymore.
As the boys seemed dejected and anxious, Nicole reached out and patted their heads.
How should I tell them I’ll be moving out while they’ll be living with their grandparents?
The words were stuck in her throat.
“Mommy, will Daddy keep punishing us?”
“You did something bad. Mommy is going to punish you, too.”
The little boys looked up with obvious fear in their gazes.
“Mommy, are you going to kick our butts?”
“Can it be something else, please?”
A bitter smile flitted across Nicole’s stoic face. “I’ll punish you in another way.”
