“I miss you too, Mommy.”
“Mommy, we also miss you!”
Nicole looked like a tree with koala bears hanging onto it when she held her kids all at once. Juan, in particular, clung to her foot.
Juan later secretly whispered beside Nicole’s ear. “I’m going to tell you a secret, Mommy. Uncle Davin has crossed the line this time. He insisted on marrying an escort, who is driving grandma and grandpa insane.”
Nicole suddenly recalled her discussion with Sheila and Davin when she was still in K Nation.
The escort was a rude and problematic woman with a terrible attitude. She completely disregarded Nicole.
How did she put it back then? I think her exact words were something like, “Evan is dead, so Nicole is nothing but a piece of sh*t.” Oh, that b*tch. I have got to see what her sorry a*s looks like.”
Nicole secretly asked Juan, “Have you met that escort before? Is she prettier than Ms. Sheila?”
Juan shook his head.
Nicole was deep in thought. She was back in the country, so it was likely that they would meet soon.
Sophia walked down the stairs with her hand on her chest. She was both surprised and excited to see Nicole there.
Sophia didn’t think that Nicole would return that quickly because the quadruplets said nothing about that.
“Nicole, you’re back. That’s amazing. I’m so glad to see you.”
Nicole grinned and asked, “How have you been?”
Sophia looked pale She looked like she had just gone through a terrible ordeal and was in a messed up mental state. It was obvious that she was troubled.
Sophia sighed and started complaining about all the horrid things Davin had done.
Nicole was flabbergasted after hearing what Sophia shared. Even Yoda, who had been standing at the side, couldn’t help frowning.
The man Sophia was describing… Was that really the Davin they knew?
Back then, he respected and feared his mother the most, but he had completely changed and was now ridiculously rebellious. That surprised everyone.
“Don’t worry, I will go talk to him this afternoon and find out what is going on.”
Sophia was stunned when she heard that. She advised, “Nicole, don’t go talk to that stupid son of mine just yet. Instead, drop by the kindergarten this afternoon. The kids’ teacher asked to meet their parents, but I am getting too old. My back is killing me and my headache worsened after my argument with Davin. Honestly, I…”
Nicole was heartbroken when she saw Sophia’s ailing state. As the mother, it was only right for Nicole to go to the kindergarten anyway, so she replied, “Okay, I’ll go to the kindergarten.”
“Good.”
Sophia held Nicole’s hand tightly. The former was comforted by the latter’s presence. Sophia later turned around and instructed the maids to prepare lunch.
Nicole deliberately asked about Seet Group’s wellbeing during lunch. After that, she shot a look at Yoda, hinting at the latter to listen closely.
Yoda received the message with a slight nod.
Both of them turned to Sophia after that.
Sophia frowned and sighed with a heavy heart.
“Davin focused all of his attention on that escort and is not as attentive towards the company’s wellbeing as he used to be. Because of this, the other factions of the family started to target the company. They would already have taken over the company if Jonathan hadn’t been working extra hard to counter them. I heard that they have a plan in mind and will be trying to snatch Seet Group away. I honestly don’t know how long Jonathan can keep them at bay,” said Sophia, who thought about Evan at that moment. With a broken heart, she wiped her tears away and commented, “They wouldn’t dare to even think about taking over Seet Group if Evan were still around. Oh, my beautiful boy. How can you leave this world before your father and me?”
“Don’t worry, Sophia. Seet Group will be just fine. It will return to its former self soon,” promised Nicole before she turned to Yoda.
Yoda’s eyes showed his constraints. He didn’t want to see his mother so depressed.
He sighed internally. Don’t worry, Mom. I will settle the matter quickly. I promise!
Time passed quickly, and it was time to go to the kindergarten. Yoda drove Nicole and the quadruplets over.
On their way, Nicole turned to the children and asked curiously, “Why did your teacher ask to meet me? Did you guys do anything wrong?”
Juan and Kyle shook their heads simultaneously before sneaking a peek at Maya.
