Davin fell silent for a moment. “So are you saying that Susan isn’t a liar? Then, what she said earlier about you hitting her and pushing her was all true?”
Nicole paused mid-stride and exclaimed, “Bulls**t! She was lying!”
“Exactly. Since you know that she’s a liar, how can you believe her words over my brother’s?”
Nicole turned over his words in her head before snapping, “Both Susan and your brother love to lie. They’re perfect for each other!”
Then, she hastened her steps to leave. It was time to pick the four children up from kindergarten, so she was in a hurry.
Davin stared at her retreating figure and heaved a sigh. “The truth is right in front of you. So how can you still refuse believe it?”
By the time Evan came after Nicole, she had already left for quite some time.
“She’s gone?”
Davin nodded in response.
“Did she say anything?”
“She said…” Davin fumbled for words.
“Said what?” Evan pressed on.
“She said that both you and Susan love lying and that you’re a b*sta…”
Nicole said it too fast just now and I can’t really remember. How exactly did she put it? Nah, whatever. I’ll just use my own words!
“She said that both you and Susan love lying, and that a b*stard and a b*tch are perfect for each other. So, you guys are practically a match made in heaven.”
Although his choice of words was slightly different, Davin thought that he expressed Nicole’s meaning perfectly.
He was immensely satisfied with his answer and looked up at Evan with a smile that matched his mood. However, he was scared out of his wits when Evan’s terrifying gaze pierced into him.
“I-I have some errands to run, so I’ll leave first.” He literally ran away after that.
He was afraid that Evan would leave several holes in his body if he stayed any longer.
Nicole really said that?
She’s been scolding me a lot lately. Shouldn’t I find the chance to return the favor?
I can’t always spoil her now can I? She might think she’s above the law some day!
Night fell.
Many houses were brightly lit to chase away the darkness.
The quadruplets were about to have dinner with Nicole when Evan showed up.
Upon seeing him, Nina bowed her head and ignored him. Juan and Kyle didn’t give much of a reaction either. Only Maya actively made conversation with him.
“Daddy, are you here to see Nina?”
“Yes!”
“There’s nothing to see. I’m fine.”
“Nina, Daddy will arrange for a specialist to look at you tomorrow.”
“No need! My hand is fine.”
Nicole’s forehead creased. When she fetched them home earlier, Nina was complaining that she wanted her hand to heal faster so that she could continue practicing makeup.
It would be considered a good thing if Evan could arrange for a good doctor to help Nina heal faster.
The children didn’t deserve to suffer because of the problems between Evan and her. Both were separate matters and shouldn’t interfere with one another.
“Nina, let Mr. Seet take you to the doctor tomorrow. You can practice makeup sooner this way.”
“I don’t want to!”
When Nina remembered Evan carrying Susan in the hospital, her heart hurt so much.
Her little temper flared up again and she stubbornly stomped back to her bedroom, not even bothering to eat anymore.
Maya pursed her lips and blinked at Nicole. “Mommy, should I go talk to her?”
Juan glanced at Maya and objected. “Just forget it. If you talk to her, you both would end up fighting again. If Nina doesn’t wanna go, we shouldn’t force her.”
Once he was done saying his piece, he cast a fleeting glance towards Evan. At that moment, Juan held some resentment towards Evan too.
If he hadn’t married another woman, things wouldn’t have turned out this way.
Kyle kept mum as he waited for his food.
Nicole mulled over it and agreed, “Juan is right. We shouldn’t force Nina since she doesn’t want to go. Mr. Seet, please leave.”
Evan’s purpose of coming today was to visit Nina and also to get even with Nicole for saying such nasty things about him!
Hence, it wasn’t going to be easy getting him to leave.
“You’re all about to have dinner, right? Great. I haven’t had my dinner.”
With that, he shamelessly sat next to Maya.
The little girl looked at him with a wide grin. “Daddy, can you help me cut my food into smaller pieces?”
“Sure!”
Nicole was utterly speechless. She started to think that Evan didn’t come here just to see Nina, but to raise a ruckus.
