Evan suddenly realized that he had misunderstood as it dawned on him that Nicole asked him to come back not because she had missed him, but because she wanted to prank him!
Initially, he wanted to put down the cutlery and leave but he had promised to accompany the kids for a walk. I can’t break my promise, can I?
After saying that he was done, he walked to the living room to wait for the kids there.
“Why does Daddy eat so little?”
“Should we give Daddy an apple? I saw a big apple in the kitchen with the size of my face.”
Nodding his head, Kyle ran to the kitchen to get the apple and brought it to Evan.
“Daddy, this apple is very sweet. Try it.”
Evan, who had been starving after a whole day of work, looked at the cleaned apple and took it.
“Go and eat. After that, I’ll take you for a walk.”
“Okay.”
Kyle gave him a look of sympathy as he nodded and walked to the dining room.
Evan took a bite of the apple. While he was chewing with gusto, he suddenly heard Nicole’s voice as she threw a punch toward his face. Being caught off guard, he saw the apple in his hand fall to the ground.
He glanced at the poor apple lying on the ground and then shot an angry look at Nicole.
“This apple is getting on my nerves. I really can’t help but want to punch it. Sorry,” said Nicole furiously.
Is the apple the one getting on her nerves or me?
Evan stared at her with a cold look on his face and commented seriously, “You’re so good at upsetting others.”
Proudly accepting his remark, she flashed him a brazen smile. “Thanks, Mr. Seet.”
When the kids came out of the dining room, they asked Evan to take them for a walk.
He got up and walked past Nicole as he gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll make you pay when I come back!”
After speaking, he walked out of the living room with the four kids.
Feeling unresigned, Nicole glared at him as he walked away.
“I’m not scared of you. Do you think you can frighten me by threatening to feed me to the fish? You wish!”
This was because she had already checked the pond. It was not deep enough to drown her, and there was also no big fish in it, but merely a school of small fish as well as a turtle.
Recalling how upset he looked, Nicole felt better thinking that she had gotten her revenge.
After I’m done venting the anger in my heart, I’ll get a good place, and leave with the kids to go somewhere far away from him, who’s the heartless, promiscuous pervert!
Thinking of this, she smiled at herself triumphantly, feeling that she had the upper hand over Evan.
She believed that she would not fall into his hands.
However, this kind of self-righteous pride only lasted for a few minutes as she soon received a call that made it come crashing down.
It was a call from Sheila, who had only decided to make the call after having deliberated for the entire evening.
She first sounded her out on her relationship with Evan.
Upon knowing that she had the idea of parting ways with him, Sheila realized the severity of the situation. Thus, she clenched her fingers and made up her mind to tell her everything.
“What did you say, Sheila?”
Did she say that Zane is still alive and that Evan is investigating it?
How could it be?
Could the photo of the mass of bleeding flesh be fake?
Sheila said hesitantly, “Nicole, d-don’t tell them I told you. I ignore Davin’s warning and tell you secretly. You must keep this a secret! “
“Is everything you said true?”
She still could not believe it.
“Yes!” Sheila swore, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll swear. If I’ve lied, I will—”
“Alright. Alright. I trust you!”
“Nicole, Mr. Seet has really treated you good enough, so you should treat him better, otherwise your conscience will hurt!”
After hanging up the phone, Nicole thought through the words Sheila had said.
If Zane is still alive, does it mean that I have been wrong about Evan?
But, why doesn’t he explain himself?
Looking at the apple that Evan had barely eaten and was now in the trash can, she thought of how she had prevented him from taking his dinner, and how she had bitten him a few days ago. Suddenly, a surge of guilt overwhelmed her.
