When she saw that the visitor was Evan, she was taken aback.
“What’re you doing here?”
“To settle the score with you!” Evan spat as he stormed into the house.
Nicole frowned. Does he think that I went too far snapping at him in Rose Garden and came to take revenge?
Nicole turned around and saw that Evan had already taken a seat on the sofa. She questioned him, “Alright, Mr. Seet, what do you want?”
“Apologize!” Evan scowled.
Nicole frowned. Why should I apologize? He started it back at Rose Garden!
“No way!” Nicole glowered at him.
“As a parent, you should take responsibility for her actions!”
Nicole was perplexed. Who?
“Evan, what do you mean by that?”
“As a parent, you have a duty to teach your child some manners!”
Nicole roared, “Evan Seet, who are you calling unmannered?”
“Maya, of course! Which man fathered such an annoying child?”
Maya? Maya has been very obedient! Nina is the one always causing trouble for him! If he told me Nina did something, I would’ve believed him, but Maya loves her father! She’d never do anything too harm him!
“Evan, Maya has been really nice to you! Don’t you dare talk ill about her. If you really want to know what kind of a scumbag her father is, I’d be more than happy to inform you!”
Evan gave her a cold glare.
Nicole took a seat and sighed, “I must’ve been blind back then. Maya’s father is… nothing worth mentioning!”
Evan scoffed, “So you do admit that you have bad taste. Maya’s father is probably some hooligan or good-for-nothing!”
Hooligan? Good-for-nothing?
Nicole raised an eyebrow, “What makes you think so, Mr. Seet?”
Evan gave her a look of contempt and explained, “A woman like you who gets herself drunk and finds any random man in a bar won’t be able to find a decent man!”
Nicole burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs-up sign. She commented, “You’re absolutely right, Mr. Seet. I did meet Maya’s father in a bar…”
She sighed, “He might just be a good-for-nothing and a rotten scumbag!”
“Might? He definitely is!”
“You hit the mark, Mr. Seet! Please, carry on!” Nicole chuckled as she watched Evan continue cursing himself.
It was an entertaining scene.
Evan frowned. Why is this woman going along with me? Does she think that this will be enough to make me happy?
“Her father is a bastard, and you’re no better! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have turned out like this!”
Huh? So he’s finally decided to change his target?
Nicole sat upright and confronted him, “Mr. Seet, Maya has always adored you. She’ll be hurt if she hears what you just said.”
Evan sneered, “You only have yourself to blame for not teaching her properly!”
Suddenly, the door opened and Maya approached Evan timidly.
“Uncle, I was in the wrong. This has nothing to do with mommy.”
Nicole saw that her eyes were swollen and queried, “Maya, did you do something?”
Maya nodded and began bawling, “I’m sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose…”
Nicole hurriedly picked her up and consoled her.
