The sudden change in Susan took her by surprise, but it also instilled worry in her.
Evan smiled. “Is that so? It’s rare to see you being this interested in someone else. Are you that interested in Susan?”
Nicole shot him a glare. “Which part of her should I be interested in? Don’t utter such nonsense.”
Evan grinned and reached out to tidy the hair that was hanging around her shoulders. “Alright. Let’s head back to Seet Residence now. We’ll bring the kids back with us. I’m sure that they’ve missed you badly.”
Nicole nodded.
It had been merely a few days, yet she already missed the children.
She wondered how they were progressing with their plan of letting Davin court Sheila. It was the perfect time to find out about it herself.
At Seet Residence.
The children were crowding around Davin, refusing to let him go. They were determined to force him to continue giving Sheila gifts.
With a troubled expression, Davin muttered, “You can’t do this. Uncle Davin has helped you in giving her gifts for many days. Sheep keeps looking at me with stars in her eyes. I have to stop giving her gifts.”
Juan hugged Davin’s leg and whined, “Uncle Davin, one last time.”
“My dear Juan, that’s what you’d said to me the last time too.”
“No, it isn’t! Uncle Davin, you’ve remembered it wrongly. I didn’t say that the last time. It was Maya who’d said that.”
Beside him, Maya nodded vigorously. “Uncle Davin, Juan’s right. I was the one who’d said it the last time.”
Davin gave their words a thought. “Are you taking turns in saying it? You’ll say that it’s the last time today, and she’ll say that it’s the last time tomorrow. It’ll never end, will it?”
“Uncle Davin, just three more days! Maya was the first. I’ll be the second. Then, it’ll be Nina and Kyle. Does that sound good to you?”
Davin thought about it for a while. “I don’t think so. I won’t give her any gifts anymore.”
With that said, he shook his head. Recalling the way that Sheila had looked at him, he was worried that Sheila would lose control of herself, possibly forcing herself upon him. It was too dangerous, and he could not possibly keep this up.
“Uncle Davin, come on!”
“Uncle Davin, you’re the best uncle in the world.”
“Uncle Davin, just say yes to it!”
Juan, Maya, and Nina took turns in trying to convince him in their cute voices. Meanwhile, Kyle stared at him icily as he tried to use reverse psychology on Davin.
“Coward. You’re so scared of giving a woman some flowers.”
The way that Kyle was looking down on him made anger burn, bright within Davin.
“Kyle, I’m your uncle. Can you stop acting in such a manner? It hurts my naïve, kind heart.”
Naïve? Kind?
Kyle could see just how shameless Davin was by the way that he had just described himself.
“Alright. Give Ms. Sheila a few more days of roses, and I’ll consider being a little nicer to you.”
Davin scoffed. He found it pointless to have risked having Sheila force herself upon him in order to get Kyle to be a little nicer to him.
“Move aside, kids. Uncle Davin has something important to do. Don’t stand in my way.”
Kyle rolled his eyes at him. “Coward. You’re scared of women.”
When Juan saw Davin’s expression turning grim, he quickly added, “Uncle Davin’s a coward who’s scared of women.”
“Oh my, Uncle Davin’s a coward who’s scared of women!” Nina folded her arms and rolled her eyes as well.
Blinking her big, bright eyes, Maya repeated, “Uncle Davin, you’re a coward who is scared of women!”
Davin pursed his lips as the children continued to hurl their verbal accusations at him.
“Don’t spout nonsense, kids. Your daddy is the one who is afraid of women. If you don’t believe in my words, think about it. Isn’t your daddy afraid of your mommy? That’s why you should diss your daddy-”
“Is that so?”
Before Davin could finish his words, a cold, familiar voice sounded out behind him.
F*ck. How unlucky can I be? Speak of the devil.
The children stared at him with mischief in their eyes.
Juan quickly voiced out, “Daddy, Uncle Davin has said that you’re a coward.”
