She licked her lips. “Shall we split it amongst ourselves? You’ll eat the sausages, and I’ll drink the soup.”
Evan shot a glance at her before he silently took the bowl of soup. Pulling it toward him, he pushed the sausages over to Nicole.
He then ordered, “Eat.”
Nicole was stupefied. They had only just made up yesterday, but he was now fighting with her over a bowl of soup.
Shouldn’t he be giving me the soup without a word?
I was too rash yesterday. If I had known that he would be such a baddie today, I wouldn’t have relented so easily yesterday. I should have dragged it on.
Perhaps I should interview him; I should ask him what he feels, about stealing a bowl of soup from an injured woman.
She hung her head and stared at the sausages. Just as she was about to complain, the bowl of soup returned to her line of sight.
“It’s not that hot anymore. However, please be careful when you drink it.”
Nicole was stunned into a momentary silence.
Soon, she snapped her head up to glance at him, feeling touched by his actions.
So he’s making sure that I won’t scald my tongue! I’ve really misjudged him.
An apologetic smile made its way to her lips. “Evan, why don’t you drink a few sips of the soup first?”
Evan looked at her, suddenly inquiring, “What did you say that I would be today?”
Um…
Did I say that out loud? I didn’t, did I?
Nicole shook her head fervently.
“You must have misheard me. I’d said that you were going to be a good man today. The best man!”
Evan was speechless.
Narrowing his eyes, he finally came to learn of something. Maya, who had once called him a “goodie”, must have mostly inherited Nicole’s genes.
“Hurry up and drink it. Otherwise, it’ll turn cold.”
Nicole nodded as she hurriedly drank the soup.
“This is so good! Evan, say, do you think that Maya will be able to cook like this in the future?”
“I hope not!”
“Shouldn’t you hope for your daughter to grow into someone capable? Moreover, you know that she loves to eat. With cooking skills like this, she’ll get to eat anything that she’d desire. She’ll never starve.”
Evan was silent for a while before he responded, “If Maya wants to eat, she can look for a husband who can cook for her. She should not have to do it herself.”
Nicole fell silent at his words.
It’s evident that he holds strong affection for Maya. He can’t even bring himself to allow her to cook.
It looks like Mr. Seet doesn’t just pamper his wife. Rather, he pampers his girls too!
At that moment, Nicole could imagine the scene where Evan would be picky when Maya was grown up, especially when she would bring her boyfriend home to meet her parents.
I wonder if the future events will play out as I’ve imagined.
Seeing that she was spacing out, Evan picked up the bowl of soup and fed her.
“Open up.”
Nicole was wordless once again.
Nicole was not accustomed to such treatment, but seeing that Evan was adamant about it, she soon obeyed.
After breakfast, Nicole then talked about Sheila’s request for the children.
After a moment of contemplation, Evan queried, “Will this be too difficult for the kids?”
In other words, he was asking if Davin would be willing to court Sheila instead.
Nicole knew what he meant, and she was well aware that it was no easy task. However, she was confident about her children’s capabilities.
“Let’s allow them to give it a try. What if they really succeed? Moreover, Sheila’s a good girl. She deserves to be treasured.”
Evan thought about his mother, who was certainly fond of Sheila. If things turned out well, his mother would be pleased.
“Alright. Let’s give it a try then.”
At night, Nicole called the children and told them about it.
Juan voiced out that it was a good idea. Sheila is righteous, I would love to have her as my aunt.
“Mommy, I’ll do my best.”
Sheila had once saved Maya when she was lost. Hence, Maya liked her too, and she easily agreed to it.
“Mommy, we’ll help Uncle Davin in courting Ms. Sheila so that she’ll get to be with him as soon as possible! That way, she’ll have a lot of lambs!”
