Right away, she got up and walked over to Evan. Maya had fallen asleep in his arms.
“They just can’t stay put while sleeping. How did they fall off the bed?”
“Yeah. Tell me, how did they fall off the bed?”
Aren’t you the one who wanted to sleep on the bed with the kids so they wouldn’t fall off?
Nicole was utterly clueless. The only thing she noticed was the dull thuds which sounded one after another.
She was groggy and even thought that there had been an earthquake until she heard Maya’s cry. Only then did she realize her kids had fallen onto the floor.
Evan gently placed Maya on the floor beside Nina and Juan. He then carried Kyle off the bed and onto the floor as well, to the spot next to where he was sleeping.
Seeing that, Nicole asked in surprise, “Why do you put all of them on the floor?”
“So they won’t fall again.”
Huh? Is that a good reason to make them sleep on the floor?
She was still dumbfounded staring at the kids when Evan covered them with a blanket. He then turned around and lay on the bed.
“Are you sleeping on the bed?”
“Yeah, since no one is on it.”
It finally dawned on Nicole why Evan had moved all their children to the floor.
Pursing her lips, she climbed on the bed. Right after she lay down, the man hopped on top of her.
“What are you doing?”
“What do you think I’m doing?”
Tsk, tsk. How shameless.
“Like I said, there’ll be an interest charge after leaving the estate.”
Hold your horses! The kids are right here on the floor. Get a grip!
The next day.
Slowly opening her eyes, Nina found herself lying on the floor. She was bewildered.
She sat up at once and saw Juan and Kyle staring at the bed, shocked.
“What happened? I remember we were on the bed last night.”
“Yeah. How did we end up on the floor?”
Hearing the whispers beside her, Maya opened her eyes as well. Perplexed, she stared blankly at her siblings beside her.
What’s going on?
Rubbing her eyes while sitting up, the girl was astonished when she saw her parents on the bed.
Juan sighed. “It must be Daddy who secretly put us on the floor.”
Kyle agreed instantly. “I think so. I never roll around when I sleep. There’s no way I could have fallen off the bed.”
Maya scratched her head. I remember hearing a thud and feeling pain in my arms and legs. Daddy then carried me. And that’s all I can recall.
“Daddy must have wanted to sleep on the bed, so he made us sleep on the floor.”
“He wanted to sleep together with Mommy.” Kyle nodded firmly.
Juan massaged his neck to ease the soreness while saying in a bitter tone, “They pulled such a dirty trick on us just because they wanted to sleep together.”
Staring at the floor, Nina looked at her fancy pajamas and pouted her lips. “That’s right. How could they do this to us?”
The kids’ protests eventually woke their parents up.
Having overhead the children’s conversation, Nicole pinched the man beside her.
How are we going to explain ourselves now?
Evan turned his head and saw the four little ones sulking and glaring at him.
Letting out a dry cough, his expression grew surly as he asked, “Did you guys carry me to the bed?”
Maya shrugged with an innocent expression.
Nina was confused. Did that actually happen? Why can’t I remember anything?
Is that even possible? How can the four of us carry a man as heavy as Daddy? Juan couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
Kyle was amazed. Daddy is good at twisting the truth.
“Don’t do it again,” Evan said with an ice-cold look.
He then got out of the bed and took the kids to wash up.
Maya was the most cooperative one in following her father’s instructions.
Although Nina sensed that something was off, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it, so she didn’t ask further.
Juan and Kyle exchanged meaningful looks. They knew their dad lied, but unfortunately, they had no proof.
Fine, I can’t argue against Daddy anyway. We’ve already slept overnight on the floor; we have no choice but to accept the fact.
Nicole stealthily gave her husband a thumbs-up. I never knew Evan is so skilled at fooling the kids. He’s even more shameless than I am.
Meanwhile, at the estate.
Portia was fuming with rage the moment she realized that Nicole and her kids had left the estate the night before.
