“Do you need my help, Nicole?”
“What?”
“I taught Davin and the woman a lesson. What about you? Is Mr. Seet seeing a woman too? Do you want me to help you punish him?”
What’s the use of punishing him?
If Evan is really someone who is heartless, cruel, and promiscuous, I’d rather stay away from him instead of wasting her time on him.
“It’s okay. You should go back early. I’ll be heading off.”
“Okay. Call me whenever you need me.”
“Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, Nicole drove toward Imperial Garden.
Meanwhile, Sheila’s eyes were brimming with tears. Although it felt nice to teach them a lesson, she still felt bitter and sad deep down with a dull pain in her heart.
At The Passion.
Having chased after the waitress for a while, Davin still could not catch her, so he sighed while sitting on the sofa with a sullen look on his face.
What an unlucky night!
Why did such a lunatic suddenly appear and disrupt my plan?
I must find out who exactly the waitress is.
I must catch her and teach her a hard lesson.
He walked out of the room and saw Evan walking toward him.
He quickly walked up to him. “Evan, how was it?
“Zane is indeed still alive.”
“Did she promise to help us lure him out?”
“Yes. But I’m not sure if we can trust her.”
“Alas. Evan, you’re good. A damned waitress ruined everything here.”
“What?”
Evan frowned. Davin’s mention of the waitress reminded him of the strange waitress who barged into his room earlier.
How could it be so coincidental?
Davin told him everything about the incident. After which, he told Davin to be careful, and the two then left The Passion.
Evan drove back to Imperial Garden.
Once home, he walked inside quietly for fear of waking Nicole up.
When Nicole heard a click from the door of the bedroom, she opened her eyes slightly. So he comes home after having satiated his desire?
What a shameless man!
Evan took his pajamas and went to the bathroom, while Nicole felt even more irritable when she heard the sound of running water.
She even came up with the idea of leaving him with her kids.
She would rather go without a man than have a man who did not love her, regardless of how much Evan could provide her materialistically.
She merely wanted a pure love that belonged to her.
While she was spacing out, Evan walked out of the bathroom drying his hair. Noticing her widened eyes, he was slightly stunned.
“You’re still up?”
Nicole shot him a fierce look. “None of your business!”
Is she still mad?
After drying his hair, Evan walked to the bedside and sat next to her. Looking at her angry face, he reached out to touch her fair cheeks.
Seeing Evan’s hand that was about to touch her face, Nicole quickly dodged it, and then looked at him with an extremely disgusted expression.
Do you think you can still touch me after coming back from fooling around with another woman?
You wish!
Evan’s outstretched hand froze in midair for a moment before he retracted it.
The look of disgust on her face brought a frown to his face.
Is she so mad at me just because of Zane?
He sighed. If she found out that it wasn’t what she thought it was one day, she would stop treating me this way, wouldn’t she?
I believe that day will come soon.
Looking at her, he said, “You should sleep.” Then, he turned to walk to the study.
Nicole felt agitated watching him leave.
How can someone change so drastically?
Or is this his true color as he doesn’t bother to conceal it from me now?
Pulling the blanket over her, Nicole recalled the bits and pieces of the times they spent together all this while.
The past memories of Evan’s affection showered on her were as clear as day.
But his recent out-of-line behavior also stung her heart.
She thought that she needed some time alone to mull over it objectively. She needed to know if this man who was so good to her previously really loved her.
