“You don’t have to get him out. Let him stay here.”
Stunned by Nicole’s words, Avril could only watch as the woman started to walk away.
Snapping out of her daze a moment later, Avril chased after Nicole. “He’s the father of your children. Don’t you care what happens to your man?”
“He’s not my man. I’m getting married to Levant soon.”
“That’s not right. You have to listen to me… Slow down, please! We’ll get spotted!” mumbled Avril behind Nicole.
“What’s up with you and my Dad?” asked Nicole after glancing at the woman, who then smiled shyly.
“It’s a long story.”
“Then give me the short version. Are you really in love with my Dad? If so, what made you fall in love with him?”
“I’ve been looking for a man like him since I was thirteen,” answered Avril abashedly.
That’s quite mature of her to think about marriage at such a young age.
“You don’t believe me?”
“I don’t,” replied Nicole as she shook her head.
“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t. That’s my residence just up ahead. Do you need me to send you home?”
“No,” responded Nicole before going her separate way.
When Juan and Kyle heard movements, they knew that their mother had come home. They quickly ran out of their bedroom.
“Mommy, did you see Daddy and Grandpa?” asked Juan.
Nicole nodded in response. “Yes, I did.”
“Are they having a tough time? How do we save them?”
“Grandpa will be able to go back to the estate after two days.”
“What about Daddy?”
“He’ll be fine. You guys can hardly keep your eyes open, so why don’t you go to sleep now.”
After being assured that their father was fine, the two boys returned to their bedroom with peace of mind.
Tossing and turning, Nicole had trouble sleeping again as she wondered if Evan was willingly staying in the Wicked Palace. Could there be another reason why he’s here? The president of the Seet Group is definitely no sitting duck. There’s no way he would willingly stay behind bars with Dad.
Before she could figure out his motive, however, Nicole unintentionally fell asleep.
The next day, Stephen glanced at the bright sun before reminding, “If you don’t do something to stop the wedding, Nicole will get married to Levant by tomorrow.”
“I’m not going to do anything. Instead, I’ll go with the flow,” responded Evan as he narrowed his eyes.
Stephen was surprised to hear that. “Go with the flow? You want to see Nicole marry Levant?”
“What do you think?”
“Have you come up with a plan, Evan?”
Stephen looked at Evan in puzzlement when he noticed how his son-in-law seemed to be unbelievably calm and not worried at all about losing the love of his life. What is he thinking?
“I did. It’s risky, but I think it’ll work.”
“What is it?”
After Evan’s explanation, Stephen’s eyes widened. “You’re going to do a swap?”
“That’s right. Tomorrow’s going to be one hell of a show! You’ll see.”
Brilliant! And here I thought Evan was worried about getting out. Who knew he already had a plan!
“What if something happens?”
“Don’t worry. I have an escape plan.”
Stephen nodded slightly. Let’s hope that everything goes as planned tomorrow.
Meanwhile, after shutting the bedroom door, the quadruplets started their emergency meeting.
Juan analyzed their situation and determined that they either had to save their father or stop their mother from marrying Levant. Otherwise, their family would not be able to live happily together. Daddy and Mommy would be separated forever!
Nina sighed, “It’s going to be hard to save Daddy or stop Mommy. We’ve already tried pretending to be hurt, so that’s not going to work this time. Not to mention that bad man, Levant, intentionally got us a doctor to prevent us from pulling that move again.”
