Do you think that my resolve will waver? Never!
When the rest saw Evan despondently leave with an expression of utter defeat, John turned around to look at Damien and Jensen.
“You finally understand why Mr. Seet stopped us from following, right?”
Both of them frowned. “Why?”
“You saw how he looked like just now. He must’ve been chased out by Mrs. Seet. If we witnessed it, won’t he feel really embarrassed and humiliated?”
Jensen exclaimed, “Indeed, you understand Mr. Seet well, Mr. Lindt. What should we do now?”
Damien chimed in, “Yeah. Do you want to meet Mrs. Seet and speak in Mr. Seet’s favor?”
John gave it a thought and said, “I don’t need to speak in favor of Mr. Seet. Mrs. Seet is harsh with her words, but in reality, she’s a softie at heart. I just need to tell her the facts, and her attitude towards Mr. Seet will certainly improve.”
“If that’s so, you should go now.”
“Yeah, go on. We’ll be on the look-out for you.”
John glanced around. After seeking out the perfect opportunity, he briskly rushed to Nicole’s room and knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
“Who’s there?” asked Nicole warily.
“Mrs. Seet, it’s me, John.”
John came right after Evan left. Is he here to speak on Evan’s behalf?
“Leave. I don’t want to see you.”
“Don’t do this, Mrs. Seet. I don’t stand with Mr. Seet, and I did not come here because of him either. Instead, it’s about your four kids.”
After deliberating for a while, Nicole opened the door.
“What happened to the four of them? Come in and speak.”
“Okay.”
John entered the room and closed the door behind him. Gazing at Nicole, he forced out a dry smile.
“Mrs. Seet, are you doing well?”
“John, you can call me Ms. Musgrave or Nicole. However, don’t ever call me Mrs. Seet again!” emphasized Nicole solemnly.
John fell silent for a while. “Okay, then. Can I sit down and chat with you?”
“About my children?”
Stunned momentarily, he nodded quickly. The most important thing now is for me to continue staying here. Hence, it did not matter if I lied.
“Take a seat.”
“Thank you.”
Gazing at Nicole, who was sitting opposite him, he sighed.
“The four kids miss you a lot. Maya’s been longing to see you. She came with us. Would you like to meet her?”
Naturally, she wanted to see Maya.
Even in her dreams, she yearned to meet her four children.
“Can you bring her over tomorrow?”
John hesitated, not knowing how to deal with this dilemma.
If I agree to bring Maya over, will Mr. Seet allow me to do so?
Furthermore, if Maya appeared at Wicked Palace, Levant will certainly know that Mr. Seet is here in K Nation. Will this affect Mr. Seet’s attempts in winning his wife back?
It’s already a challenging feat, so I must not make things harder for him.
This is an important question which I must carefully consider.
“I need to go back and ask Maya. If she wants to come, I’ll bring her over.” John gave a vague response.
“Okay. Thank you, John.”
“You’re being too polite! Ms. Lane – oh, wait – Ms. Musgrave, may I ask you a question?”
She knew that John looked for her because he had a specific motive.
“John, I don’t want to hear anything about Evan. If the questions are about him, then there’s no need to ask about it.”
“You misunderstood! I wanted to ask about something else. Previously, I stayed with you and your kids at the estate for a year. Stephen took great care of me. Yesterday, I made a special trip to the estate to visit him, but the staff said that he’s been staying at the Wicked Palace and hasn’t returned for a long time. Is it true?”
Nicole was quite touched that John was being so concerned about her father.
“John, thank you for your concern for my Dad. He’s staying at the Wicked Palace temporarily. After my wedding with Levant, he can return to the estate.”
John frowned. “Why must he wait until after the wedding?”
Nicole froze, not wanting John to know that Stephen was being controlled by Levant and Murphy. Besides, it was pointless even if he knew.
