Damn it, I can’t tempt any answer out of both the adult and the children!
Infuriated, Daphne clenched her fists tightly, but there was nothing much she could do. She stormed off angrily after a while.
Watching her back as she marched out of their room, the kids felt overjoyed deep down inside
“That bad woman should count herself lucky that she left before we could do anything to her!”
“Exactly! I’ll teach her a good lesson next time if the opportunity arises!”
“That’s enough. You guys should steer clear from her in the future, understand?”
As soon as Nicole said that, Sheila came to serve them breakfast.
“I saw someone walking out from here just now. Who’s that?”
“Daphne.”
Sheila’s eyes widened in response. Immediately, she whirled around trying to catch a few glimpses at the woman who was walking away. It was a shame that she missed the chance to meet Daphne in person.
“Ms. Sheila, we pissed her off so badly that she had no choice but leave. You should have seen how pale her face looked just now!”
“Really? You guys are amazing!”
“Hmph, this is just the beginning. If she tries to sabotage Mommy again, we won’t go easy on her next time!”
“You guys are great. Now, please line up and wash your hands before we dig in.”
After washing their hands, the kids sat down at the dining table looking joyous.
While munching on the food, Juan and Kyle started discussing how they should go about helping Mommy to look for her father.
…
In the meantime, Yoda’s eyes darkened with thoughts when he saw Daphne storming out of Nicole’s place furiously.
Finding out Daphne’s acupuncture master was the key to tracking down Nicole’s biological father.
Seems like I should start putting my focus on Daphne now.
If Nicole hadn’t been pretending to be an idiot in front of me before this, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time on looking for doctors! I could have begun the investigation on her father way earlier!
Instead of returning to her room, Daphne intended to see Levant and ask him about the kids.
She had witnessed with her own eyes how cocky those kids were and she was sure they didn’t take her seriously at all. They must be Levant and Nicole’s kids!
Otherwise, they won’t dare to behave in such a presumptuous way!
Perhaps, he has even reassured them not to be afraid of anyone.
Her blood started boiling the more she dwelled on that thought.
Levant, there’s no way I’ll forgive you if you really have kids with another woman!
Indeed, you’re good-looking and you have a very distinguished social status. However, I can’t allow my man to have kids with another woman!
That’s something I can never accept!
She rounded past a corner of the corridor at a hurried pace and walked right into someone.
As she was in a foul mood, she fumed, “Are you blind or are you tired of living?”
The person whom Daphne ran into kept his eyes downcast without uttering a word.
Annoyed by his silence, Daphne yelled at him, “Can’t you hear me? Lift your head and show me your face now!”
As the man slowly lifted his head, Daphne was smitten by his face at once.
The skin of his face was fair and translucent, and his facial features were exquisite and well-defined. Beneath his long and curly eyelashes, his brooding eyes exuded a mysterious and alluring aura.
Before meeting this guy, Daphne had been very sure that Levant was the most charming and good-looking guy in the world. Never in her wildest dreams could she imagine meeting a guy who was even more handsome than Levant.
Judging from how the man was dressed, he seemed to be one of the bodyguards working at the estate.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Hector Larrison.”
His voice was deep and manly.
“Hector Larrison?”
He doesn’t put his looks to good use at all by merely working as a bodyguard! Daphne was so mesmerized by his charm that she couldn’t take her eyes off him.
At first, she always thought she had an abhorrence for men of a lower social rank than her. It was only then she realized she only hated those guys because they did not have a beautiful face.
The man standing in front of her was so attractive that she could not make herself hate him at all.
Yet, a horrible thought popped up in her mind at that moment.
As Levant was not the biological son of Uncle Stephen and Aunt Portia, Aunt Portia had always wanted her to marry Levant and be the future duchess.
However, he had always been indifferent and cold to her. She had been trying to get closer to him for the past five years, but her effort was futile. In fact, she was getting impatient and tired of trying.
If only I could let this guy replace Levant…
With his good looks and his social status, he would be a perfect man if he treated her nicely. He would be a man so much better than Levant, whom she had to struggle hard to please.
“Ms. Ankins.”
The maids called her name in a soft voice to knock her out of her daze.
When she came back to her senses, she was taken aback by her own thoughts.
