As soon as Nicole arrived, she parked her car and walked into the house, feeling extremely nervous.
“Ms. Lane is here,” the maid informed Mr. and Mrs. Seet.
The first person she saw was Jonathan, who was sitting on a wooden sofa. Nicole’s heart skipped a beat after seeing how aloof he was.
Just when she was about to speak, Sophia asked, “Does Evan know you’re here?”
Nicole shook her head, “Nope.”
“We have a few questions for you, Mr. Lane, and we hope you can clear our doubts.”
Nicole remained silent for a moment. Is Mrs. Seet going to ask me about the rumors on social media?
Since I’m already here, I can’t avoid answering their questions, anyway.
I guess I just have to play along.
“Alright, Mrs. Seet,” she responded with a gentle grin, and Sophia was pleased with her reaction.
“Alright, Ms. Lane. I’ll go straight to the point then. We’ve heard rumors about you and Mr. Yan, and now you’re with Evan…”
“I want to know, who’s the biological father of your two daughters? Is it Rocky Yan?”
Nicole did not respond immediately. Since the rumors between her and Evan were rife, it was not unusual for the Seet family to ask about it.
In fact, Nicole could tell Mrs. Seet still treated her with respect.
It was clear that Mrs. Seet was a little confused and needed Nicole to clarify what was going on.
Nicole thought her concern was valid, and she should answer the question.
But I can’t tell her the truth just yet.
She thought about it and replied, “Nina’s and Maya’s father had left after I gave birth to them. I’m not sure where is he now.”
“So they’re not Rocky Yan’s children?”
“That’s right.” Nicole nodded.
Jonathan stared at her and asked her in a serious voice, “Ms. Lane, are you still single or married? Are you willing to marry Evan? Please answer these questions properly!”
Am I willing to marry Evan?
Of course, I am, provided that Evan wants to marry me out of love. But it seems he approached me only because he wanted to give Kyle and Juan a family, not because he loves me.
Based on all our encounters, I guess I’ve left a bad impression on him, and he must have detested me. How can I expect him to love me?
Besides, a golden bachelor like Evan could pick any woman of his choice from all the highly qualified socialites. Who am I compared to them?
He deserves someone better, and I want him to live a blissful life.
Nicole had always felt inferior in the presence of Evan to the extent that she had to hide and suppress her feeling for him.
As for my marital status, it would not be difficult for the Seet family to find out about it, right?
Instead of making up stories, Nicole decided to come clean before them.
“Yes, I’m now single, but I do not want to marry Evan either.”
Jonathan and Sophie were taken aback upon hearing her words.
Before Nicole arrived, Sophia had put in a good word for her in front of Jonathan.
In Jonathan’s eyes, a scandalous woman who had given birth to another man’s children did not deserve to be Evan’s wife.
On the contrary, Sophia thought Nicole was a kind-hearted person and was Kyle’s and Juan’s biological mother.
Moreover, she knew Evan’s feelings for her. Though the two of them started on the wrong foot, they had come a long way.
If they were truly in love, they would for sure be able to overcome all the problems together.
Besides, the Seets family did not mind taking care of the two little girls either.
Yet, Sophia did not expect that kind of answer from Nicole.
Anger swept over Jonathan, and he slammed the table in disbelief, “You really don’t want to marry Evan?”
Sophia thought Jonathan was a little too harsh and cast him a glance. She then turned her attention back to Nicole, “Since you’re still single, why don’t you want to marry Evan?”
Going after a man who is out of my league does not guarantee happiness.
Besides, how can I go after a man who doesn’t love me at all? This will only cause further misery.
