What is she looking at?
He cast an instinctive glance into the room.
When he saw the amorous couple on the bed, Evan narrowed his eyes into slits and scrutinized Nicole.
“I don’t know that you are into such quirky hobbies?”
She turned around and shot him a deathly glare, “I’m doing proper stuff.”
Evan mulled over it for a bit before nodding, “You are right. Satisfying your lust is also considered proper stuff, although your method is rather unique.”
Satisfying my lust? This guy is horrendous indeed!
Nicole saved the video and smiled faintly at him.
Evan was prepared for her retort, but instead, she raised her leg and stepped on his leather shoe with all her strength.
The stabbing pain on his foot caused the crease between his brows to deepen.
This woman really puts in all her strength!
Evan looked down instinctively, and Nicole purposely stepped on him again before apologizing casually, “Sorry that I have accidentally stepped on you. I did not do it on purpose.”
With that, she rolled her eyes at him before turning to leave.
Evan was dumbfounded.
Is she blaming me for arriving too late?
His eyes darkened and followed her out of the villa.
When they left the villa, Nicole caught sight of Nina, who was hiding behind the trees. The latter had removed her makeup and was waving at her enthusiastically, “Mommy, mommy, I’m here!”
Nicole hurried over to Nina’s side.
Thank god for Nina! Otherwise, I may be in serious trouble now!
Evan was about to tell her something, but Nicole ignored him and held Nina’s hand as they boarded her battered car before driving back to Summervale.
Evan followed behind them closely.
Nicole opened the door and cast an infuriated glance at Evan, who was behind her.
She opined that he had intentionally arrived at Sylvia’s house late as he did not want to rescue her.
With this thought in mind, she lashed out at him, “Mr. Seet, stop! We don’t welcome you in our house!”
But Evan ignored her and was about to enter the house when Nicole positioned herself at the doorway to block him from entering.
Evan looked at her nonchalantly and brushed against her shoulder as he continued walking into the house.
Once inside, he turned around to look at her and mimicked the insincere apology she gave just now in Sylvia’s house, “Sorry, I have knocked into you accidentally.”
“…”
That asshole! He’s taking revenge on me!
“Mr. Seet, why must you come into the house?”
“I had something on when I received your message just now, thus I did not rush over immediately.”
Something on? Is that his explanation for not coming to my rescue immediately?
Certain that Evan came to her rescue late on purpose, Nicole folded her arms in front of her chest as she continued her interrogation.
“What is the matter that you must attend to so urgently?”
Evan’s face clouded over as a flicker of sorrow flashed across his eyes.
Mr. Russell had fainted suddenly, and Evan was in the hospital accompanying him when he received Nicole’s message. He was about to rush over immediately, but Mr. Russell had woken up suddenly and grabbed his hand while murmuring his grandmother’s name.
He understood how much his grandpa had missed his grandma since she died from the accident years ago.
Thus, he could not bear to withdraw his hands from his grandpa’s tight grip. His grandpa had gone through too much grief and pain over his grandma’s death.
Nicole mistook his silence as a tacit admission of his guilt and snickered, “I shouldn’t ask so much. Mr. Seet must be very busy running the vast businesses of the Seet Group. So I will not bother Mr. Seet anymore. Please take back your offer about the two chances. I don’t need empty promises.”
It seems like Nikki is really angry.
Evan looked at her solemnly, “Don’t make rash decisions when you are feeling emotional. I will not retract my offer about the two chances.”
“…”
So what if you don’t retract your offer? I won’t take it up anyway. Being lied to once is enough. I’m not going to fall for his trick again. To think that I was certain that he would definitely come to my rescue immediately when I was locked up in the maid’s room.
