His brother wasn’t short of money.Or perhaps, he could have asked for more in return.
After shopping, Evan brought the kids to the amusement park and the zoo where they had been longing to visit.
The kids went wild with joy.
Even Kyle, who was usually cool and reserved, became more loquacious.
Upon seeing his children behave in such an elated manner, Evan thought that it would be a good idea to bring them out more often, to have fun, when he had time to do so, in the future.
At night, as the children had wished, the family of six had a hearty dinner at Amazon Hotel.
Evan had purposely ordered a less fatty dish for Maya.
Maya was unhappy at first, but upon remembering the embarrassing moment when she couldn’t put on that nice dress, she lowered her head and started wolfing down her greens.
The beautiful day ended as they returned to Summervale. After taking a nice, warm bath, the kids went to bed obediently.
Looking at the adorable and mischievous little brats, Evan felt in his heart that meeting Nicole was the luckiest thing he had experienced in his life.
At this moment, Nicole was trying on clothes in front of the mirror while enquiring about the preferences of the elders of the Seet family.
“Just put on whatever you like. You don’t have to worry about them.”
Nicole turned to look at Evan. “This will be my first time eating with your family. I want to leave a good impression on them.”
“How about that red dress over there?”
“Red? Wouldn’t it be too bright?”
“Just wear what you’d like to then.”
Nicole put on a faint smile as she decided to listen to Evan’s suggestion of wearing that red dress.
As she hung the dress in the closet, Evan approached her from behind, wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
“That’s enough for today. Let’s go to bed.”
His deep and sexy voice was like the afternoon sun, suffusing her in warmth as it put her at ease.
Snuggling up to him, Nicole momentarily felt as though she was the happiest woman on earth.
Just as she closed her eyes to indulge in his warmth, she felt the man’s naughty hands reaching inside of her clothes.
“Don’t move. Let me lean against you for a while.”
“Go to bed. You can lean all you want.”
“No.”
“You think you have a say in this?”
Being tossed into bed by a domineering man, Nicole was forced to admit that her words were indeed useless sometimes.
“You jerk! You’ve ruined my clothes!”
“I’ll buy you some new ones.”
Evan couldn’t care less about anything else; he was focused on invading every inch of her body.
It was a long and wonderful night.
The next day, Evan and Nicole arrived at the Seet Residence in the afternoon.
Finding it meaningless to remain in the living room with many adults, the kids simply played with the other children in the yard.
Nicole had wanted to call them over when Evan suddenly stopped her, “Let them play for a while, as long as they’re happy. They can meet the elders later.”
Faced with Mr. Seet, who doted on his children very much, Nicole soon found that she could only nod her head.
As they entered the living room, Nicole’s heart started pounding in a frantic tattoo.Why are there so many people? I had thought that it was going to be a meal with just his family.
Evidently, Evan did not expected the Seet family’s house to be full as well.
Sensing Nicole’s nervousness, he held her hand tightly and told her not to be afraid, reassuring her that he would be there for her until the end.
Nicole nodded and drew in a deep breath as she walked elegantly toward the elders and greeted them with a warm smile.
Sophia was very fond of her.
“You don’t have to be so polite, Nicole. We’re family.”
Sophia had only just finished when an abrupt voice rang out, “Sorry, we’re late.”
They looked back and caught sight of Sofie and Anthony walking toward them.
Nicole’s heart did a somersault at the sight of Sofie. The smirk on the latter’s face brought feelings of uneasiness within her.
“Mom, why is she here?” Davin asked, curious.
