Although there was a distance between them, he still felt strongly for her. He glanced at her and asked, “Nicole, is something bothering you?”
He emanated a domineering presence that almost suffocated her. Instantly, Sylphiette panicked and didn’t know what to say.
“What is the issue?” he repeated again.
It must be something serious, given that she doesn’t want to tell me.
Sylphiette thought quickly and felt like this was the best chance she had.
She lifted her head and looked at him pitifully. She asked, “Evan, my hand is injured, so I can’t cook. I’m also really busy with the company’s affairs. Is it possible to hire more maids to help me share the burden and take care of the children?”
I won’t have to cook anymore if this plan of mine works. I really don’t want him to find out that I don’t know how to cook.
Furthermore, Sylphiette wanted to impersonate Nicole and enjoy the luxurious life she has. The former didn’t want to be the nanny of the four children.
Cooking and looking after the children is something usually done by the maids anyway. With Evan’s high status, he can surely afford to hire more maids. I’m not going to be so foolish like Nicole and fail to enjoy her luxurious life.
Evan hesitated and soon realized she was right. “Fine, I’ll request the butler to transfer more maids from the Hillside Villa here.”
Sylphiette nodded her head, then smiled. “Evan, you treat me so well,” she cajoled sweetly.
Evan furrowed his brows. Nicole seems different today.
She is much more gentle than before.
It must be because of her injury; that’s why she is acting differently and is less fierce. Hence, he didn’t think too much about it. He stood up and called the butler.
After receiving the phone call, the butler instantly arranged for four female and four male maids to be transferred to Imperial Garden within half an hour.
With the maids around, Sylphiette instantly felt more relaxed. My amazing life is about to start.
She pushed all the matters in Lane Corporation to the board members and their assistants, using her injury as an excuse. She also asked the driver to pick up and send the four children to school.
Without anything to do, she could finally enjoy the life of a wealthy married lady.
When the four children reached home from school, they walked in and saw her lying on the sofa with a face mask whilst eating snacks and watching the latest drama.
Maya stared at the snacks on the table and licked her lips in anticipation.
Mommy has always left me some snacks. Why didn’t she do so this time?
Nina also furrowed her brows. Mommy hates putting on face masks! She always said they were too expensive. Why is she so elated now?
Kyle stared at Sylphiette too. Is she preparing to live the life of a queen? Sylphiette completely ignored them as they entered; she didn’t ask about their day at all.
“Mommy, do you not love us anymore?” Juan asked rudely. She is so much different from the Mommy I used to know.
Sylphiette turned around and saw the four children staring at her.
She suddenly realized that she had become too arrogant after she heard Evan saying that he was to go on a business trip.
These four children are not easily lied to. I must be more careful in front of them.
“Of course not. You are my most precious children and the loves of my life. How can Mommy not love you,” she said.
As she spoke, she quickly bribed them with the cake pops in her hand.
Maya quickly took the cake pop and stuffed it in her mouth. It was absolutely delicious and buttery.
“Mommy, where did you buy this from?” she asked.
“I imported it. It’s delicious, isn’t it?”
Wow.
Mommy imported snacks for herself and not me?
All the children were stunned.
“It’s delicious. I want more,” Maya pleaded as she stared at the cake pops on the table.
Sylphiette glanced at her. This girl is so annoying and greedy.
No wonder she is built like a bulky water tub.
