“Does Mommy want to have more obedient kids?”
“If she has other kids, doesn’t that mean she’ll get rid of us?”
Maya started wringing her small chubby hands in concern. She was the most obedient one out of all of them. Mommy can’t leave me behind!
Nina just glared at all of them before going back to her room.
The argument finally ended.
Nicole, who was used by Evan, realized how strangely the kids were looking at her in the few days after that incident. Especially Maya. Her head hung like that of a broken doll and she seemed to be fretting over something.
“Maya, what’s wrong?”
“Mommy, I’m a good kid, so don’t get rid of me when you have more obedient babies, okay?”
What a weird kid.
Nicole caressed Maya’s hair as she comforted her daughter. “I will never get rid of you. You’re my favorite child.”
Maya’s anxiety was finally relieved.
The other three kids looked at Nicole, all of them in deep thought.
Nicole found it extremely strange but she had no idea how to go about asking them.
“Okay, let’s go to school.”
“Mommy, we can help you look after your new babies and be free babysitters.”
Nicole was speechless. Do my kids think I should have more kids?
She turned to look at Evan, who was nodding and playing dumb. “It’s not a bad idea,” he said.
So out of the six of us, Evan and the kids all have the same thought?
Nicole, who had clearly fallen into a trap unbeknownst to her, actually started thinking about the proposition with some seriousness.
After sending the kids to kindergarten, Nicole received a call from Davin.
“Nicole, you have to come to the board meeting later today, okay? I heard that both Uncle Adam and Uncle Ryan are prepared and will definitely put on a great show later!”
“Of course I will.”
“Mom and Dad will be there at two in the afternoon. Don’t be late, okay?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be there on time.”
After hanging up, Nicole turned to look at Evan. His eyes, which were as deep as the ocean, sparkled with determination.
She smiled. “I need to pick up some new clothes so I can dress up for the board meeting later.”
“I’ll go with you. I haven’t gone shopping in forever.”
“Sure.”
Nicole tidied herself up as Evan put on Yoda’s mask. The two then headed out.
“This mall is full of limited edition designer items. Let’s take a look.”
“Okay.”
Nicole walked in with him happily and admired the exquisite clothes arranged artfully behind the glass panes.
Not far away, a man and a woman had their sights set on Nicole.
The man told the woman, “Watch her every move.”
“We grew up together; I know her like the back of my hand.”
The man looked at the woman and smirked. “Did you purposely go through plastic surgery to look like her because you knew she was Sir Musgrave’s daughter?”
“I only knew that she was somehow related to the Musgrave family and that her biological father must be extremely rich. I just didn’t expect him to be Sir Musgrave himself.”
Sylphiette’s eyes flashed in glee. She originally had surgery done in order to save her dad, Zane, but then she realized she could benefit so much more with that face of hers.
Nicole’s bright eyes were focused on the pretty clothes. In the end, she decided to try on a few slightly formal outfits.
The salesgirl, who was desperate to earn a good commission, smiled enthusiastically and said, “Miss, all of them look great on you! They look like they’re custom-made for you!”
Nicole smirked slightly. This girl is really desperate to get a good commission.
When she was overseas with her kids, life was so hard that she had to think twice before buying any clothes. Back then, she never had the chance to buy so many items in one go.
She was looking at her reflection in the mirror, thinking of which clothes to buy, when a voice piped up from behind her, “We’ll take them all.”
