“Mr. Seet should’ve gotten used to having maids to serve him. You should try to get used to it too. What about I find you a few capable ones?”
Evan is used to it?
That’s right. Back when he was in Hillside Villa, he has a lineup of maids, but now, being with me is like he’s made to suffer.
Sheila looked around and was satisfied with everything she saw.
“Mr. Seet is so good to you, Nicole.”
Good.
On numerous previous occasions, she had also thought that Evan was good to her, but he also had a cruel side—a side that cared nothing about her feelings.
After what happened to Zane, she always asked herself whether Evan was truly good to her.
Is it considered as good if a person who’s not short of money spends lavishly for you?
If Evan really cared about me, would he deal with Zane’s affairs like this?
He should at least care about my feeling, shouldn’t he?
Or perhaps, he doesn’t care what I think at all.
All he cares about is his own goal.
Seeing that he was such a decisive and ruthless man, she was really afraid that he would also treat her the same way one day when she struck a nerve in him.
Feeling down, Nicole sighed. “Evan is treating me this way maybe because I happen to be what he wants right now. He’s just trying to get what he wants at any cost. No one knows if he will change in the future.”
Nicole made it sound like Evan was a heartless man who would use every mean in his power in order to achieve his goal.
Sheila found it unfair to describe Evan in such a way.
But she could understand why Nicole thought so, as Zane had just died in a horrific car crash after all. Nicole would definitely be emotionally unstable and overthink things.
Seeing her gradually reddened eyes, Sheila did not know how to comfort her, as she hesitated and wondered if she should tell her about her seeing Zane.
Maybe Zane was not dead.
But Davin had repeatedly told her to shut her mouth tight as it was a matter of great importance, and that she could not tell anyone. He even threatened to cut ties with her if she dared to say it.
His serious and firm tone showed that this was not a joke.
After thinking about it, she still decided to shut her mouth.
“Don’t be too sad, Nicole. You have to trust Mr. Seet’s feelings for you.”
Nicole merely wore a smile and said nothing.
Her real feeling was that Evan’s ruthlessness scared her.
After leaving Nicole’s place, Sheila told Davin about what Nicole thought about Evan.
Davin sighed, feeling that Evan was wronged.
After much deliberation, he told Evan about it tactfully and asked him if he wanted to explain to Nicole and tell her that Zane might still be alive.
Evan was silent. It seemed that this incident could really affect his relationship with Nicole.
Is Nicole so distrustful of me?
“Don’t say it. Don’t mention it to her until we’ve figured out what happens.”
After all, there was currently no proof that Zane was still alive.
If Nicole really doubted his feelings for her, she might still suspect that it was a lie he made up even if he told her about this.
Aren’t you afraid that Nicole’s misunderstanding toward you grows, Evan?”
“Time will tell.”
This sounded very reasonable, so Davin was rendered speechless.
However, the life of Evan and Nicole would be difficult before everything was proved.
When Evan returned home in the evening, none of the kids were home, and the house was shrouded in silence.
Evan looked at Nicole, who was leaning against the sofa and staring at her phone without even looking up, and asked curiously, “Where are the kids?”
“Your mom misses them and picks them up.”
Nicole’s tone was impassive and indifferent.
After speaking, she was still swiping her phone with her head down.
Evan fell silent for a moment. “What do you want to eat? I’m going to cook.”
“I’m not hungry.”
Nicole didn’t even glance at him.
Evan walked up to her. “You can be angry, but don’t starve yourself.”
