“Do you like these toys? If not, I can have someone get you something else! Oh, what would you like for lunch? You can write down your preferences, so the chef can make whatever you like!”
Kyle kept quiet as he eyed Levant from head to toe with a cold look on his face.
On the other hand, Juan was surprised by his generosity. After giving it some thought, he asked, “Mr. Levant, could you give us a huge room? We wanna stay with Mommy!”
Just as I had finally convinced Nicole to stay next to my room, these kids show up today and ruin everything!
However, in order to win Nicole and the kids over, Levant had no choice but to agree.
“Of course! My room is big and well-furnished, so how would you lot like to move in there with your mommy?”
“Sure!” Juan nodded. He didn’t really care about the room’s condition as long as he got to stay with his mommy.
Nicole, on the other hand, felt a little uncomfortable doing so. “Are you sure about that?”
“Absolutely, Nicole! They may not be my kids, but for you, I’m willing to treat them as my own! I hope for all of you to have a great time staying here at Wicked Palace!”
At one side, Nina was glaring at Levant silently. I knew he wouldn’t be so nice to us for no reason! He’s just doing it to please Mommy! Sigh… Daddy has got himself a rival here…
Back at Darkmoon Manor, Evan had an ice-cold expression on his face as he hung up the phone.
He had just been informed of the suffering Nicole went through in prison, how she was beaten, bullied, and nearly lost her life.
Now I see why she hates me that much, and why she said that I was cruel and heartless… I was the one who put her in prison, so it makes perfect sense that she’d think it was all my doing. Nicole, do you really think I’d do this to you?
Evan stood by his window and went into deep thought as he gazed into the darkness of the night.
The person who murdered Grandpa and framed Nicole must be connected to the one who hurt her in prison. The killer must’ve worn some special gloves when he put Grandpa’s walking stick in her hands. Who in the world would be so smart and cautious? I’ve had people investigate Levant, but we couldn’t find anything at all. Was I really wrong about him?
Just then, a sudden knock on the door snapped him out of his train of thought.
“Come in!”
Susan opened the door and stood in front of him. “I made you some of your favorite dishes, Evan. Come on downstairs!”
“I’m not hungry at the moment. You may leave now.”
“Evan, it’s important to take care of your health! You shouldn’t starve yourself like this! I made it all by myself, and I even got a little blister from it. Would you please eat a little?”
Evan turned around and saw a blister on the back of her hand.
“Susan, let the chef handle the cooking from now on.”
“Well… I was worried you weren’t used to the chef’s cooking, so I thought I’d make you something myself instead.”
Evan stared at her coldly. He had made it very clear to her that he loved Nicole and told her not to waste any more of her time on him.
“Susan, it was a real shame you had to give up on your role as a lead actress to take care of the kids. However, they’ve gone to stay with Nicole now, so you can head back home. Don’t worry. I’ll invest in a new show and have you as the lead role. You should head back and get prepared.”
Here Susan was, thinking that she could use the injury on the back of her hand to gain Evan’s sympathy, but alas, he told her to leave instead.
