The four children were surprised. Didn’t Aunt Sheila already leave Uncle Davin? Why is she here at the Seet Residence?
Sophia Chinton crossed her arms at the kids. “Children, where are your manners? Ms. Sheila is here! Why aren’t any of you greeting her?”
Maya Lane made her way to Sheila. She purred sweetly, “Hi, Aunt Sheila!”
Sheila stroked the children’s heads. “You guys are so adorable!”
Nina Lane and Kyle Seet exchanged glances with one another. Did Aunt Sheila and Uncle Davin patch things up?
“Where’s Uncle Davin?”
As soon as Nina asked her question, Davin Seet walked down the stairs. He looked disgruntled as if someone owed him a million.
“Davin, I have already explained to Sheila the misunderstanding about you and the escort. Sheila now knows that you got close to her because of your company’s matters. Why don’t you follow her back to ask for the Muir family’s forgiveness? Then you two should really start to plan for your wedding.”
Davin turned a deaf ear to Sophia’s words.
He approached Sheila with a flippant expression on his face.
“Sheep, everyone knows I’m not going to marry you. Why did you say that you are going to stick with me? Do you have no shame? Gosh, your skin sure is thicker than the wall!”
Sheila didn’t think that Davin would spew such hurtful words at her. She used to banter with him, but now she was at a loss for words.
Her tears glided down her cheeks like raindrops on a lily pad.
Sheila had mustered all of her courage to show up at the Seet Residence. She wanted to save her marriage as she told herself that Davin must have his own unspeakable reasons for breaking up with her. She was hoping that the time they spent away from each other would allow their relationship to heal.
However, she didn’t see Davin’s hateful onslaught coming at all.
Sophia kicked Davin in his shin. “You rascal! Are you trying to drive me crazy? Apologize to Sheila this instant!”
“Mom, I really don’t like her! Why do you have to make me marry her?”
Davin was boiling with despairful rage. It was clear to everyone in the room that he despised the idea of marrying Sheila.
Maya read the mood of the room and ambled to Sheila. She wrapped her fleshy hand around the latter’s as she tried to console her. However, she didn’t know how to construct her sentences.
After all, Maya was still a child. She was not as tactful as Nina when it came to working with relationships. She didn’t even understand the whole picture, to begin with.
In Maya’s eyes, Sheila was a kind person. Maya recalled that it was Sheila who contacted Maya’s father to bring her home the time she got lost.
Thus, Maya didn’t want to see Sheila in a despondent state.
Kyle didn’t have much reaction as he hadn’t been getting along with his uncle well. He couldn’t bring himself to care about his matters at all. Still, before he got upstairs, he uttered to Sheila, “Don’t marry him. He’s not good enough for you. You’ll definitely find someone better.”
Having said his words, Kyle slanted his surly eyes at Davin before heading upstairs.
Davin scoffed at the back of Kyle. “Kyle, you know you’re actually doing me a favor by asking her to not marry me, right?”
Meanwhile, Juan Lane could not withstand the tension in the room anymore. He strode to Davin and said, “Uncle Davin, Aunt Sheila is such a nice person! She can give birth to many babies! Why do you not like her?”
“I don’t want any children.”
Nina smirked. “Oh, then what do you want? Snakes? Because you seem to act like one now.”
What is wrong with these kids? Why are all of them siding with Sheila?
Can’t I just be in charge of my own life? Is it really so hard for me to marry a person that I love?
“Davin, remember what you said today! If I ever look for you again, I’ll be damned!”
Bracing the anger and sorrow within her, Sheila spat her final words at Davin before running out of the house.
Sophia chased after Sheila. “Sheila, don’t be so hot-headed! Wait a sec…”
