Evan’s eyes darkened. Coincidentally? This was all clearly planned out.
Take him for example. He said he was here for a project discussion, but he was actually here to see her.
“Are you done with your matters here? Can we go back tomorrow?”
The moment Evan said this, Nicole froze up.
She had previously promised Sophia that she would leave Evan.
And that after she found out what she wanted to know, she would not look for him even when she went back.
But now, he wanted her to go back with him.
“I still have matters to settle tomorrow, so I can’t go back.”
“What about the day after then?”
“I’m not sure.”
“Nicole, you’re not abandoning your husband and eloping with another man, are you?”
Abandoning my husband? Eloping with another man?
Nicole widened her eyes at him. Why is he asking me this?
Alas, it was true that she had no choice but to abandon her husband. However, eloping with another man was complete nonsense and downright slander!
“Evan Seet, stop spouting nonsense!”
“That better not be the case! Follow me back tomorrow. Whatever problems there are, we’ll face them together once we’re back.”
Evan’s intense eyes bored into hers and his face took on a grave expression.
Nicole squeezed a bitter smile onto her face. A lost life hung between them. They could face it together, but they couldn’t solve it.
The Seet family would still oppose them being together. Evan would also face pressure from his family.
He would be going against his entire family just for her sake!
Even as these thoughts ran through her mind, she still feigned obedience and nodded her head reluctantly.
Evan was very satisfied with her response.
He reached out to gently flick her nose before changing the topic. “What was a scaredy-cat like you doing trying to scare other people?”
Nicole blinked at him in shock. Does Evan know something?
Looking at the question in her eyes, Evan revealed the truth to her.
“The knife. I was the one who threw it!”
Nicole’s mouth formed the letter ‘O’ when he said that.
It turned out that he was the one who helped her.
“Did you… Did you hear everything?”
“Yes. Zane should bear the consequences of his own mistakes. It has nothing to do with you and your mom.”
Suddenly, Nicole didn’t know what to say. Zane was her father. Even though this was what Evan thought, it didn’t mean that the rest of the Seet family share the same thought.
Nicole didn’t argue with him either but instead planned her next course of action.
Faced with her silence, Evan abruptly jerked her into his arms and warned, “Don’t even think about leaving me. And don’t let Rocky near you from now on! Or else…”
Can this guy read minds or something?
She was seriously thinking about sneaking away from him and going back to the country with Rocky.
“Or else what?”
“I’ll lock you up so that you’ll never be able to leave my sight!”
Uhm. Locking me up and stealing my freedom? That’s terrifying!
Seeing Evan’s commanding stance, Nicole thought to herself, Looks like I’ll have to find a chance to go back alone then. How pitiful.
“Understood?”
Nicole came out of her own thoughts and nodded fervently..
Evan was immensely satisfied with her response.
“Good girl. Let’s sleep now!”
Nicole slipped into bed and lay down.
Suddenly, she recalled something. Evan pranked me earlier and I still haven’t gotten back at him for it.
On second thought, she decided to let it go. On account of him throwing a knife at Sylvia for her, she would call it even between them.
She sighed softly and mumbled, “I’m such a forgiving person!”
“What?”
Evan couldn’t hear what she said clearly, so he looked at her with a frown.
Nicole sealed her lips shut and shook her head.
Since I’ve decided to let it go, I won’t bring it up anymore!
Her long and thick lashes fluttered slightly under the warm light. Coupled with her fair and rosy cheeks, she looked extremely cute.
She didn’t speak, but Evan’s heart trembled at the sight of her.
He abruptly leaned into her. Staring at her with a penetrating gaze, he asked in a low and sexy voice, “Don’t you think we should do something before going to bed?”
Seeing the desire swirling in his eyes, Nicole understood his meaning immediately. He’s going to start on his perverted ways again.
