Evan, John and Jeremy were speechless.
John brought a hand to his head and sighed. Oh, Maya…how much more specific can you get?
Jeremy coughed. No wonder they’re Mr. Seet’s kids!
“Told you Mr. Seet’s kids are strange little ones!” John whispered to Jeremy, who nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Nicole glowered at Evan when she found out that he had been the one behind all this.
However, she agreed to stay for the kids’ sake.
“Fine then, we’ll stay here for a few more days. Make sure to pester whoever’s giving you gifts to keep their promise!” she said, stressing the last part.
She stared at Evan after that, but he was as calm as ever.
John and Jeremy looked at Evan in awe before lowering their heads to avoid Nicole’s questioning gaze.
Stephen was overjoyed to hear that Nicole would be staying over for the next few days, and he felt grateful towards his son-in-law, Evan, for helping him out.
I’m sure he’ll treat my daughter well, considering how jealous he was when she was around me!
How lucky of you to meet Evan, Nicole!
He’s much better than Levant in every aspect possible!
Suddenly, he turned to Evan and warned, “Be careful of Levant, boy.”
Evan nodded, knowing full well that he was Levant’s target, not Nicole.
Nicole and the kids should be safe.
Unfortunately for him, things did not turn out the way he expected.
As the sunlight poured into the estate through the giant windows, the kids spent their playtime running around the estate.
Stephen ordered his maids to buy some new toys for the kids to play with.
“Wow…is this a frog?” Maya asked as she stared at a toy frog with wide eyes.
“That’s right!” Stephen answered, picking one of the toy frogs up. “It’ll hop around just like a real one. Look!”
Maya watched as Stephen dropped the frog into the water. Her mouth formed an ‘O’ shape as the frog hopped away.
Meanwhile, Stephen noticed just how chubby Maya was. What did Nicole even feed her?
He reached out and pinched the rolls of fat on Maya’s arm and face before asking her, “Do you eat meat all the time?”
Maya shook her head. “I won’t lose weight even if I stopped eating meat…even water makes me fat!”
Nina heard their conversation and pouted in protest. “Those are all lies! She’s a hopeless glutton! Don’t you know how much dessert and meat she eats in a day?”
Maya turned around to glare at Nina while jabbing a finger at her pot belly. “Hey! That’s not true! I’ve lost weight!”
Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Juan decided to intervene. “That’s right! Maya has lost weight, Sir Musgrave! She’s not fat anymore!”
Maya grinned. “Thanks, Juan! I lost a whole kilo!”
Stephen smiled at the adorable kids before him, but the fact that Juan addressed him as ‘Sir Musgrave’ rather than ‘Grandpa’ still hurt a little.
I wonder when they’ll start calling me ‘Grandpa’…
I wonder when Nicole will accept me as her father…
“There’s more stuff over there to play with! Let’s go!”
“Alright!”
Juan held Maya’s hand to lead her away, but when Nina tried to hold Maya’s free hand, Maya swatted her hand away and punched her. Serves you right for calling me fat!
Nina glared at Maya and huffed before walking away from her.
Kyle, on the other hand, had been fiddling with a toy robot the whole time, and Stephen decided to go over and help him. He noticed how cold the little boy was and tried his best to make Kyle smile.
Nicole stood before the window and looked at her kids having the time of their lives with Stephen, and that brought a smile to her lips.
