“Gather all of the top taekwondo masters and shortlist three with the best brains for Juan to pick.”
Huh?
John realized that he had gotten himself a big task. Little Juan is just like his father, not easy to please. I wouldn’t have proposed the idea if I knew this earlier.
After dinner, Nicole had a chat with her four children who had been accompanying her at the hospital. “It’s not convenient for Mommy to take care of you these few days due to my injury, why don’t you go over to Seet Residence and stay with Grandma for a few days?”
The four kids nodded obediently.
Going to the Seet Residence can give Daddy and Mommy more time for themselves and improve their relationship.
Davin agreed with the decision. “Rest assured I’ll bring them back to Seet Residence later.”
Sheila stunned. Since everyone is leaving soon, I should follow suit.
She came up with a reason. “There’re some pending matters at Muir Group that I need to attend to. Since Mr. Seet is here, I shall take my leave now and visit again tomorrow.”
Davin interrupted before Nicole could say anything. “I think it’s best you stay back.” He threw Sheila a serious look.
Sheila knitted her brows and cursed Davin in her heart. Is he out of his mind? Asking me to stay back and be the third wheel? Things have just gotten slightly better for the couple and they need their personal space.
“Davin, didn’t you hear when I said I’ve got some matters to attend to?” She signaled him.
Davin understood her intention and sighed. “I meant for you to stay behind and take care of Susan. My brother ought to stay with Nicole, so someone needs to be with Susan. You can’t expect Evan to go back and forth between two wards, right? You’re the best person to do that in his place.”
Damn it! Only Davin could think of such an idea.
Susan is a cunning woman. What if she schemes something against me while I stay with her? Did he think for me?
“Davin, you want me to stay with Susan, aren’t you worried about my safety?”
He paused for a bit and then started praising her, “Who are you exactly? You’re the super mega invincible Sheep! A strand of your wool can give life to a thousand more. With one blink, you can see through any evil plans…”
Sheila threw a punch at Davin and reprimanded him sternly, “That’s the Monkey King. I don’t have those superpowers.”
Rubbing his arm, Davin continued, “You do! A sheep like you is greater than the Monkey King. I adore you.” He gave her a thumbs up.
The four cheeky kids followed and gave her a thumbs up too.
It’s not easy to bring Daddy and Mommy back together, we can’t let the bad woman destroy their new future.
Looking at the five thumbs up she received, Sheila felt guilty to go against their will.
I should do this for the sake of Nicole and Evan.
Susan is just a woman after all, albeit a devious and crafty one. She won’t swallow me alive. Perhaps I could use this opportunity to advise her to leave Evan. This might actually be a good thing.
“All right, all right, I’ll watch Susan.”
“That’s awesome! You’re my super mega invincible Sheep,” Davin applauded her.
The quadruplets joined in the fun and took turns to commend her as well.
“Aunt Sheila, you’re the best!” Juan proclaimed.
“You’re amazing!” Nina said loudly.
Maya put her chubby hands on her head to pretend as horns. “Hehe, Aunt Sheila is the cutest sheep. Baa.. Baa…”
Sheila chuckled while pinching her cheeks.
Even Kyle, a boy of few words, gave her some credits, “We appreciate your effort, Aunt Sheila.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s all worth it as long as all of you live happily ever after.”
