Molly was a congenial woman. She sounded as though she was joking.
“Huh? Why do you look so different from my mother? You seem to be so much younger than her!”
“Really?”
Nina and Maya nodded their heads simultaneously.
In the meantime, Nicole, who was standing aside, knitted her eyebrows because her beloved daughters had complimented another woman and had said that the woman seemed so much younger than herself in front of her.
Am I turning into an old hag? Please tell me that’s not the case!
She turned around and whispered in Evan’s ear to get a second opinion.
In response, Evan looked up and down. He asserted, “You’re not supposed to compare an orange to an apple. After all, you’re a mother of four. Thus, you’re a mature woman.”
Huh? Is he indicating that I’m getting old?
Age had always been a woman’s taboo topic. Nicole couldn’t believe that her husband had set foot on the topic that he should have stayed away from.
In the meantime, Maya and Molly had a great time talking to one another. Molly had informed Maya that she would teach her the method of preparing low-calorie meals in the future, assuring her that she would lose weight while brushing up her culinary skills.
The chubby little girl was thrilled when she found out that would possibly get to lose weight. It was a pleasant surprise. Grinning, she couldn’t hold back her excitement anymore as it was written all across her face.
Molly invited the family of six to join her for dinner, but Evan made an excuse and turned her down because Nicole had been gazing at Molly ever since she showed up.
He was aware that she was envious of Molly’s ethereal look. Little did she know, she was the only flawless one in his mind. In short, she didn’t have to be envious of others at all because he would never prefer her to be anyone else other than her usual self.
After they walked out of Molly’s villa, the children wouldn’t stop talking about Molly as if they had taken a liking to her.
Initially, they were worried that Maya would get chubbier after she became the mentee of a gourmet specialist. It turned out that they had been overthinking things because it would turn out to be the other way round.
Sighing, Nina stated, “Seriously? I can’t believe that a gourmet specialist has outmatched a make-up artist in terms of looks!”
“Perhaps it’s due to her balanced diet. Therefore, her beauty is something that stemmed upon a healthy foundation from within her system.”
The moment Juan finished his sentence, his mother and sisters turned around and stared at him in disbelief.
Since when did Juan pick up such things?
“Wow! Juan! You’re awesome!”
“Of course! I’m the most knowledgeable amongst all of us!”
Nicole was in a state of reverie. She thought that it would be necessary for her to get the menu of Molly’s meals from her because she wanted to look as great as her.
After they returned to Imperial Garden, Evan kept the children company while Nicole made her way back to their bedroom right away.
She wouldn’t stop sizing herself up in the mirror.
Have I aged? Evan has said that I’m a mature woman, but he didn’t mention anything about being an adorable woman. I think that I should take good care of my looks in the future and start dolling myself up from now onwards.
Suddenly, someone showed up at their place when it was almost time for dinner.
“I have shown up uninvited. Hopefully, I’m not getting in anyone’s way.”
Sheila brought herself into the living room and placed the imported snacks and toys on the coffee table.
Nicole, who had made her way downstairs, recalled the deal between Sophia and Davin. She could figure out the objective of Shelia’s visit almost instantly.
“No. We’re about to have our meal. Why don’t you join us?”
“I have already had my meal. Nicole, may I speak to you in private?”
“Sure.”
Nicole showed her the way to the bedroom upstairs as she served her a glass of milk tea.
Meanwhile, the children distributed the imported snacks and toys that Sheila had brought to them within a few seconds. Thereafter, they returned to their bedrooms.
“Thanks, Nicole.”
“You’re welcome, Sheila. Have you dropped by because of Davin?”
Sheila nodded and explained, “Nicole, should I give up on Davin? Everyone from the Muir family wants me to stop wasting my time on him. Truth be told, they have gotten sick of Davin’s behavior. He had been delaying our wedding all this while. They deem him as an untrustworthy man.”
It was evident that Sheila had been having a hard time lately due to her relationship with Davin. She must have gotten herself into a conflict with her family members again.
Although her parents had been giving her a hard time, they were against her marriage with Davin because they were worried about her.
“Sheila, I believe that you’re the only one who’s aware of the affection that you have for him. Do you love him?”
Nodding vigorously in return, Sheila assured her, “I do, Nicole! However, I’m not sure if he shares the same affection that I have for him! There are times when I think that he does love me, but most of the time, it feels as though he doesn’t.”
