While Kyle remained expressionless, Juan nodded in agreement.
“We should give Uncle Davin some time. Every magic trick takes time to prepare.”
“You understand people well, Juan. It’s no magic trick, but it’ll definitely be more interesting than one.”
Juan’s eyes widened in curiosity.
Suddenly, a pleasant ringtone sounded. Davin glanced at his phone and realized Nicole was calling him.
With Evan around, he wasn’t sure whether to pick up.
The phone continued to ring, and Evan noticed how Davin kept stealing glances at him from time to time. Hence, he grabbed the phone out of curiosity and saw it was Nicole.
“Why aren’t you picking up?”
Davin didn’t answer. Well, I can’t have Nicole mentioned something you shouldn’t know about, such as who Maya’s and Nina’s birth parents are.
Seeing how he smiled while remaining silent, Sheila was curious too.
“Who’s that calling?”
“My sister-in-law.”
“Which?”
Davin glanced at Evan as a response.
“She’s our Mommy,” Juan explained in his angelic voice.
Sheila suddenly felt odd. She glanced at Sylphiette and coughed lightly.
So she’s Evan’s kept woman. It was no surprise that Davin had berated her a while ago, then.
Sylphiette instantly felt utterly embarrassed. She turned to Evan, expecting him to explain who he was going to marry.
Yet, the man said nothing, seemingly agreeing with Juan and Davin.
This made Sylphiette extremely displeased.
“You shouldn’t let Davin call Nicole ‘sister-in-law’, Evan. I’m the one who—”
“Answer the phone.”
Evan cut her off with three simple words.
Sheila couldn’t help but glance at Sylphiette again. Now, the latter felt even more humiliated.
Since no one was helping her, Sylphiette decided to stand up for herself.
“What a kind-hearted man you are, Evan. You’re always so kind to Nicole. I’m sure you’ll treat me well after we get married.”
The woman emphasized the word ‘married’ to strongly imply that she was Evan’s fiancé.
Juan and Kyle glared at her with disdain. “Daddy isn’t going to marry you.”
“Daddy’s going to marry Mommy.”
“Yeah!”
Sheila eyed the two boys before turning to Sylphiette once again. Looks like they have a rather complicated relationship here. I’ll need some time to familiarize myself with everything.
Sylphiette’s heart boiled with rage. No one here seemed to get along with her, so there was no point in her staying. She hurriedly gave herself an excuse to leave.
Davin idly answered his phone and spoke first.
“Hey, Nicole! I’m with Evan and the boys right now. Are you looking for them or for me?”
Evan’s brows creased slightly as he stared at his brother.
Maya’s adorable voice came through the line.
“Juan and Kyle are back at Rose Garden, Uncle Davin. I want to go too.”
Davin instantly relaxed upon hearing Maya’s voice. “If you want to come, just get Mommy to take you here.”
“Mommy doesn’t want to go. I can’t go over on my own. Nina doesn’t want to go either. Can you come pick me up, Uncle Davin?” Maya pleaded.
Davin looked down at his injured leg. He really couldn’t help the girl, but he didn’t want her to get upset either.
“Do you want to pick her up, Evan?”
“If she wants to come, tell her mother to bring her over. I’m not going to pick her up.”
Davin froze. He’s not saying she can’t come. He wants Nicole to come with her!
Well, she may as well join in and watch the show happening this afternoon.
“Why don’t you ask Mommy to come with you, Maya? Uncle Davin got injured. Tell Mommy to come and visit me and I miss you too. Maybe you can drop by with a gift.”
Sheila stared at Davin with contempt. You’re asking a kid for a gift? How much more shameless can you be?
