“Come home with me!”
Both Juan and Kyle remained silent.
They were taken aback by how furious Daddy was. Daddy must be really upset about something!
After exchanging looks, they lowered their heads and walked out of the room obediently, fearing having their bottoms spanked again.
“Goodbye, Mommy.”
“Bye, Mommy.”
The father and the sons left, shutting the door right after they opened it.
Nicole slumped onto the sofa in a thump.
She had a confused expression.
How did this happen in the first place?
Nina and Maya ran over and touched her hand, asking her what happened.
“Nothing’s wrong. Go and play. Mommy wants to be alone.”
Realizing that their Mommy was in a bad mood, they left her alone and went back to the bedroom sensibly.
The words Evan said echoed in her mind.
You’re scheming! You’re terrible!
These words were as sharp as a knife, making her heart ache tremendously.
Evan Seet, why don’t you believe me? It’s fine that you don’t trust me, but why would you describe me with such words? Perhaps that’s how you’ve always seen me… Always…
…
As they reached the Hillside Villa, Evan warned the boys to stay away from Nicole, or else, they would become bad people.
“Daddy, Mommy is a good person. We won’t become bad people.”
“That’s right. We don’t learn bad things from Mommy. She teaches us how to be good.”
Looking at how the kids were defending her, he became more frustrated.
“You’re not allowed to bring her up in the future!”
Kyle and Juan were shocked by his bellow of rage as their hearts raced. They did not dare utter a word after that.
Daddy looks like an agitated big gray wolf with red eyes when he’s angry. It’s so scary.
They were curious of why Daddy was angry whilst walking back to their room.
“Did he fight with Mommy?”
“But why did they fight?”
“Should we ask Mommy?”
“Let’s ask Maya and Nina instead.”
They called Maya to ask about it. Maya was puzzled as well. All she knew was that Mommy was in a bad mood. And as for why did she fight with Daddy, she had no idea too.
“Ask Mommy when she’s in a better mood.”
“Okay!”
Shaking their heads, they sighed. Fortunately, they had solved the financial crisis Mommy was having. That was considered as relieving her burden in their opinion.
Clueless that they had gotten into trouble, they prayed that Mommy’s mood could be better soon.
Back at the Rose Garden, Davin looked at Sheila.
“Do you have confidence that we’ll get an answer today?”
“Sylphiette is cunning indeed. But, I guarantee that she’ll tell us the truth of who the little girl was today!”
Just as Sheila’s words fell, Sylphiette walked toward them.
“What’s your plan?” Davin looked at Sheila curiously.
Sheila had been exhausting all the tricks that she could think of these few days. She even befriended Sylphiette pretentiously and offered her lavish rewards, but to no avail.
When it came to Sheila’s questionings, Sylphiette was extra cautious in answering. She’d either find an excuse or keep her mouth shut.
No one knew what would Sheila do today.
Seeing that Sylphiette was near, Sheila took a few steps forward and blocked her path.
Sylphiette glared at her annoyingly. “I don’t have the time to have tea and chat with you.”
“Have tea and chat? You can’t do that even if you wanted to.” With a stern face, Sheila crossed her arms.
“What do you mean?” Sylphiette questioned suspiciously.
“I tried to be nice. Since it doesn’t work, I’ll resort to using brute force.”
Her pretty eyes were scrutinizing Sylphiette as she spoke.
Looking at how straightforward she was, Sylphiette sneered and asked coolly, “What are you going to do?”
Sheila grinned meaningfully. “You’ll find out soon.”
She motioned the two bodyguards next to her as soon as she finished speaking.
