Upon hearing the names of their two brothers, both Nina and Maya nodded their heads gingerly.
John watched on as the two adorable girls left with Sophia, gladly waving goodbye to them both.
He felt relieved as if a heavy burden were lifted off his shoulders. After all, he did not really know how to take care of children, and he was afraid of upsetting both of them. He might even end up being scolded by Evan!
Mr. Seet has doted upon both the young masters. Surely he will pamper his two daughters even more!
Thinking about this issue, his curiosity was piqued. What was the score Evan was trying to settle?
Meanwhile at Lane Corporation.
Nicole Lane, who was seated in her spacious office worrying about the future of her company, gawked in surprise at Evan who suddenly barged through the door.
Immediately she stood up from her seat and questioned, “Mr. Seet, what brings you here today?”
“I’ve come to square things up!” he retorted.
“Huh? Square things up?” Nicole frowned. What was there to settle between them?
Nothing that she could think of.
“Mr. Seet, I don’t quite get your meaning. You’ll have to be more precise. Please.”
Fixing his eyes on her, Evan calmly sat down on the swivel chair across from her and motioned her to take a seat too.
Looks like there’s going to be a long talk between both of them!
Nicole was clearly feeling uncomfortable. Her sixth sense was warning her about an impending predicament.
When it came to dealing with Evan, she had always felt complicatedly conflicted.
He was her benefactor when she was young and the love of her life now. He was also the father of her four children, as well as someone she had to sort out her relationship with.
Just two days ago, he had helped her clinic by channeling one hundred million to her.
Right at this moment, she had no idea how to face him. “Nicole, remember back then when you went abroad and secretly took my precious with you? How will you propose to settle that score?”
The question was just too out of the blue.
Nicole looked at him quizzically, failing to comprehend. “Mr. Seet, what do you mean by that? I did not take anything belonging to you back then.”
Twitching his lips, Evan hinted, “Think carefully again!”
She furrowed her brows and thought deeply for a while before shaking her head again.
Evan stood up suddenly, and as he looked into her eyes deeply, he approached her step by step.
Feeling a little unaccustomed to such close proximity, she got up from her chair and shied away to the side.
“Mr. Seet, what are you trying to say?”
Just as she finished speaking, a strong hand stretched out and yanked her abruptly out of nowhere.
As her body turned due to the strength of the pull, her eyes flashed a panicked look as she held onto her desk to steady herself.
Staring right unto the good-looking features of Evan’s face, her heart throbbed faster and faster. Having his face so close to hers made her turn red.
What is he trying to do?
“You stole away my genes. How do you suggest to make up for it, hmm?”
His warm breath brushed against her ears, making them tingle tenderly as a tickling sensation trickled down all over her. She blushed even more as she stammered. “What are you implying? I’ve already given Juan to you. What else are you thinking of?”
Evan’s lips thinned and curved upwards as a faint smirk appeared on his expression. He slyly asked, “Yes, you’ve returned Juan to me. But what about the other two?”
The other two?
As Nicole heard his words, her eyes widened instantly. A sense of dread dawned on her.
What does he mean? Don’t tell me he refers to both Nina and Maya?
He has found out about them?
How?
She could feel her beating heart almost jumped out from her chest as panic flashed across her face.
“Feeling the guilt?” Cashing in on the change in her expression, Evan playfully stroked her fair cheeks gently with his fingers.
Nicole shivered as she tried to regain control of her composure. She erected a fake facade as she feigned ignorance.
Seeing through her charade, he shook her harshly. Held in his mighty grip, Nicole felt helpless as her body stiffened and her heart thumped loudly.
“If you still decide not to spill the beans, then I’ll have to seriously interrogate you with my own set of techniques.”
Having said that, he ran his slender fingers across her collar and was about to unbutton her clothes.
Nicole quickly stopped him.
“Mr. Seet, please control yourself. You’re in an office, and there’re eyes all around.”
Evan scanned the surroundings before focusing once more on her. He disapprovingly stated, “I don’t really care.”
“…” Nicole rolled her eyes.
Of course, you don’t care! This is my office after all. I do care!
It would be such an embarrassment if someone were to walk in right now!
However, ignoring everything, Evan’s fingers naughtily wandered all over her body, setting off fires wherever they touched, igniting her deepest desires. Mustering up her restraint, she managed to voice out her disapproval.
“Evan Seet, what are you trying to do?”
