“Whose maid is this?”
Levant glanced at Nicole’s outfit wordlessly. He didn’t know how to introduce her to his father. She had kicked up such a big fuss, so if he introduced her as his girlfriend, his father might kick her out at once.
If that happened, all his efforts would be wasted!
He knitted his brows and answered, “She’s my maid.”
“Your maid?” Stephen repeated dubiously.
The young girl doesn’t seem like an obedient maid in our household.
Besides, Levant’s maid would’ve recognized me. She has accused me as the intruder earlier.
Stephen knew Levant was lying, but he didn’t expose his son. He glanced at Nicole before leaving the hallway.
Once he left, Nicole heaved a sigh of relief.
Levant came to her and asked why she was dressed in a maid uniform.
“I wanted to get used to the surroundings, so I put on a maid uniform to not disturb others.”
“Is that so?”
The twinkle in Nicole’s eyes told him she was lying.
However, he didn’t press on and told her to go back to her room.
The moment Nicole returned to her room, she texted Yoda to find out if he had returned to his room safely.
Yoda: Yes, I’m back in my room. I saw you entering your room. Sleep tight!
Nicole: I can’t sleep. I just accused Sir Musgrave as the intruder. Will I get into trouble?
Yoda mused. Well, she definitely thinks and acts differently.
He replied: I’m here, so don’t worry.
Nicole: Don’t harm Daphne for now. I got her hair. We need to make sure if she is my half-sister.
Yoda: Of course she’s not. Stop overthinking.
Nicole: How can you be sure?
Yoda: Let’s wait and see.
Nicole didn’t reply to his last text. She flopped back on her bed and stared at the ceiling.
Sir Musgrave’s intimidating figure came to her mind once again.
“Mom, if Sir Musgrave is your lover back then, that will be easy. I’d be able to find him after entering the estate. But as you didn’t tell me anything, it’s hard to find my birth father. But don’t you worry, I won’t give up. I’ll continue my search tomorrow!”
After muttering her thought, she picked up her phone and scrolled to a photo of her and her kids.
My handsome and cool Kyle, cheeky Juan, snobbishly cool Nina, and adorable Maya.
Her lips curved up as she gradually fell asleep.
Stephen sat in his study as he gazed at the moon, who was appearing behind the clouds. Sorrow filled his gaze.
“The reckless girl whom I met tonight resembles you a lot,” he murmured to the moon.
He stood there for some time before he went back to work.
The next morning, Nicole paced around her room listlessly.
She handed her hair and Daphne’s hair to Yoda. He’d help her to get a DNA test. He’s been gone all morning. He should be back by now.
Just then, someone knocked on her door.
Without hesitation, she yanked the door open.
But when she saw Levant’s face, the smile on her face froze.
“It’s you?”
“Are you expecting someone else?”
“I-I thought you were a maid.”
“Without your permission, the maids wouldn’t disturb you. It’s a rule in this household.”
Levant walked into her room and sat on the leather sofa.
“Nicole, what are you doing today? Let’s spend some time together.”
“You’re free? Sir Musgrave doesn’t need your help?”
“Working isn’t as important as spending time with you.”
“Don’t say that.”
“I have an hour. After that, I need to go back to work.”
An hour?
I can’t stay with him in this room for one hour. Otherwise, someone might get mad when he returns.
“Let’s take a walk around the estate.”
“Sure.”
They were strolling along the hallway when someone stood in their way.
