“Why should I be afraid of her? She’s being rather shameless with her clinginess. I’ve recorded some notes of my interactions with her. You can use my notes when you need to deal with her next time. I’ve tried them, and I’m certain that they’ll be rather useful to you.”
Nicole was at a loss for words.
At long last, Nicole reached out to pinch Sheila’s cheeks. “I can deal with her without your notes. Nonetheless, thank you anyway.”
“There’s no need for your thanks.” At that, Sheila blinked and grinned at her. “If you’d really like to thank me, you can lend me your children.”
Nicole stared at her while raising a brow in question. What is she going to do with the children?
Hearing her silence, Sheila added, “If you don’t want to lend me four, three is fine too.”
Nicole remained silent.
Still hearing her silence, Sheila cleared her throat before muttering, “I’ll need at least two of them. I’ll need…” Who should I get?
Which of the four is the smartest two?
“I can lend them to you, but you’ll have to tell me what you’re going to do with them first.”
Sheila contemplated for a short while before she cleared her throat. Then, she solemnly uttered, “I need them to come up with ideas that would force Davin to court his wife.”
“Huh?”
It took Nicole several seconds before she finally understood what Sheila had meant. “You mean, you’re planning to ask them to come up with a strategy for Davin to make him court you?”
Sheila nodded, her expression exceptionally serious.
However, Nicole frowned. She doesn’t sound like she’s joking.
Sensing the odd look that Nicole was shooting her, Sheila forced out a smile.
“I’m aware that I used to be the one who would court Davin intensively. That’s why I’d like to turn the tables now. I want him to court me like I used to court him. Unfortunately, I’m afraid that he’ll refuse to cooperate with me, so, I was hoping for your children to help me in this.”
Sheila’s words were met with silence once again.
Nicole suddenly realized that Sheila was actually well-aware of who was courting who, in her relationship with Davin.
Therefore, her plan was a very difficult one to carry out.
However, Sheila had already told her about her plan. The only thing that Nicole had to think about was how she could help her. “Don’t worry. I’ll speak to my children about this.”
“Really? That’s great! My marriage now depends on both you and your amazing children.”
Nicole nodded solemnly.
Thereafter, Sheila happily left Nicole’s ward. She was only a few steps away from the ward when she bumped into Evan, who was on his way back from buying breakfast.
“Hello, dear brother, how was your night with Nicole?”
The intimate term of address surprised Evan.
Sheila always calls me “Mr. Seet.” What’s happened to her after a night with Susan?
It can’t be that Susan has influenced her, can it?
When Sheila noticed the look that Evan was giving her, which was a look that he would often give to idiots, Sheila hurriedly explained, “You’re Davin’s brother, so you’re my brother too. Don’t worry. Leave Susan to me for these few days! I’ll ensure that she’ll be stopped from barging into your happy moments with Nicole.”
With that said, she skipped away with a bright smile on her face.
It was then that Evan realized that she had called him her “dear brother” because of Davin. It looks like Sheila and Davin’s relationship is improving.
That’s good news.
The corners of Evan’s lips turned upward, as he continued toward the ward.
As soon as Evan stepped foot into the ward, Nicole’s attention was drawn to the pleasant aroma of the food that he had brought. She could not help but sniff dramatically.
“What did you buy?”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Evan then unpacked the breakfast that he had bought. It was a variety of food, ranging from sausages to toast. The food that he had bought were all of Nicole’s favorites.
Her eyes were fixed on the bowl of mushroom soup. She was two seconds away from grabbing it, readying herself to devour it.
