“Mommy, I did not kick Nina,” Kyle said in a flat manner.
“It’s you! There’s no one else!” Nina held up her small arm and pointed her finger at him insistently.
“Mommy, I can testify that Kyle did not kick her.”
“Mommy, I can also prove it.”
Maya and Juan spoke up for Kyle.
Seeing her siblings turning against her, the anger in Nina’s heart burned more intensely.
“If Kyle is not the culprit, then that means both of you are the guilty ones. Both of you owe me an apology!”
Maya’s eyes were wide and round as she defended herself in disbelief, “You are talking nonsense. I did not kick you.”
Juan defended his innocence as well, “Me neither!”
“If the three of you did not kick me, then who did? The dog?”
The dog?
The face of Yoda who was standing behind them all this while suddenly sank. The look in Nina’s eyes was really unfriendly.
This young girl had a strong personality, mirroring someone he intimately knew.
Juan glanced at Nina before rolling his eyes and stepping forward.
“Mommy, Nina is framing us. She wants Rocky to be our daddy but we didn’t agree.”
Maya nodded blankly, “Yes, Nina wants a new daddy. The rest of us don’t agree since we don’t want to change daddy.”
Nicole’s sharp stare had been focused on Yoda all the while, and she did not really care about the conflict currently happening between the children.
However, when she heard the words “change a new daddy”, her red lips twitched slightly as she uttered, “Mommy agrees to give you all a new daddy.”
Juan was speechless.
Kyle was shocked into silence.
Maya was dumbfounded.
The three little ones were simultaneously astonished, as their jaws unanimously dropped down to form the standard “O” shape.
“Mommy! What are you babbling about? How can you agree to let Rocky be our daddy?”
Nina, being the prideful one, had not expected the sudden outcome. When she had casually mentioned changing a daddy just now, she was actually missing Evan dearly and had blamed him in her heart for not coming back.
But for Nicole to agree in such a nonchalant way, also caught Nina by surprise.
Nicole stood up and proclaimed as she paced around, “Mommy agreed to a new daddy, but it will not be Rocky.”
“Then who will it be?” the children almost asked in unison.
Stopping her pacing right beside Yoda who was standing still, with a sinister smile and a pair of cold eyes staring at him, she asked casually, “Do you all like Mr. Levant?”
These words seemed to be targeted specifically at Yoda.
He managed to keep his face straight, but his heart was deeply troubled.
How did she suddenly come up with this idea?
“Mommy, do you like Mr. Levant?”
“Mommy, why would you choose Mr. Levant to be our daddy?”
“Mommy, what should we do if Daddy comes back? After all, you are Daddy’s wife.”
Questions were fired in succession from the shocked children. After Kyle, Juan, and Maya had respectively put forth their questions, Nina, who was just complaining fiercely just a short moment ago, earnestly persuaded, “Mommy, please think again about this. I know you love our Daddy.”
The other three were warmed by Nina’s attitude and realized that she was still Daddy’s dear daughter, and they were still blood siblings after all.
“Mommy has thought it through. After all, your Daddy left us and married several wives thereon. Mommy can’t be so lonely all the time. All of you wouldn’t want to see Mommy in this pitiful state, right?”
As she said that, Nicole was eyeing Yoda fiercely.
“Mommy, how do you know about Daddy marrying many wives?” Nina questioned.
Yoda was both shocked and incredulous at the same time.
He was shocked that she had smelled out his identity so soon.
He was incredulous that she had accused him of marrying other wives. When did he marry them?
“Your daddy told me so in my dream!”
After the appearance of two inexplicable hickeys, she had thought that due to her overbearing yearning, she might have spent a night with his spirit or the sort. Now she finally understood what was going on.
As she finished making her statement, her eyes were still fixated on Yoda’s ugly face. She wanted to see when he would finally tear off this layer of disguise.
She refused to believe that he would watch her marry someone else without doing anything.
“Mommy, this is a big deal. We strongly felt that you should reconsider.”
“Yes, Mommy. You should reconsider. Please.”
“Alright, we’ll leave this for now. It’s getting late and you should all go to bed. Meanwhile, Mommy will pick a good day and marry myself off in a grand and pompous manner.”
