Nicole was flabbergasted by the peaceful and serene scene before her.
She thought that the kids would go against Levant for Evan’s sake. But apparently, she was wrong. Did these four rascals forget all about their father? Well, maybe that’s a good thing. They can live happily in the Wicked Palace with me if that’s the case.
That being said, Nicole was also slightly heartbroken by it. If the kids can forget about their father that easily, then, will it come a day where they’ll forget about me too?
What am I thinking! Of course not! The kids will never abandon me.
Nicole calmed herself down, then forcefully redirected her thoughts. She focused on the meal.
“Levant” got some beef stew for her without saying anything, then reverted his attention to his food once more.
Nicole was taken aback when she saw how naturally Levant had acted.
His actions reminded me of Evan when he gets me stew.
Nicole couldn’t help recalling all the loving experiences she had with Evan.
Every scene, every smile…
“Why aren’t you eating?”
The man sitting next to Nicole spoke up and dragged her back to reality.
Nicole smiled faintly before tilting her head down and continued eating. She reprimanded herself internally, Nicole Lane, how did one small detail get you thinking so much about Evan Seet? D*mn it, you are such an idiot! Haven’t you already decided that you will let him go and never get back together with him? Don’t ever think of him again!
All in all, the family had a rather pleasant meal together.
Nicole thought that the kids didn’t actually hate Levant that much and that there was a good chance that they could live together peacefully as a family.
After dinner, the quadruplets hurried back to their room so that their parents could have some time alone to talk about the good old times.
Before Juan left, he deliberately went to Evan and whispered encouragingly, “Good luck, Daddy.”
Evan shifted his gaze to Nicole, who was sitting opposite him. He thought about their times in the Imperial Garden. Back then, Nicole was carefree with him and was her genuine self. However, she had her guard up at that moment. In fact, she was a little distant and polite. It was obvious that she had kept her real self away.
Is it because the person in front of her now is “Levant”?
Nicole felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze. His languid sitting posture and burning gaze got her feeling nervous. She couldn’t help wondering what he was thinking.
The uncertainty in her heart grew as she stared at him. Nicole suddenly said, “It’s late now. You should head back and rest.”
Evan was stunned. He did not expect Nicole to chase him away.
Even though Evan was wearing Levant’s face and was okay with Nicole hating Levant, he still didn’t want to annoy Nicole that much. After all, he had to keep assuming Levant’s identity to interact with Nicole, and he would lose all hope of courting Nicole if she left “Levant” then and there. Hence, Evan stood up quietly and murmured a simple goodnight before leaving.
Nicole couldn’t help but frown as she watched the man leave. Why does his figure look so familiar? It looks like…
Evan’s name popped up in Nicole’s mind, and that prompted her to slap herself hard across the face.
She gave herself a warning, Never think of him again. You’re not allowed to even think about his name!
Thereafter, she turned around and returned to her room.
Unbeknownst to her, the kids were monitoring everything from a hidden corner. Seeing their Daddy leaving so soon got them thinking. It’ll take Daddy and Mommy forever to get back together if this goes on. Should we give them a push?
With that question in mind, the kids close the door to their room and commenced their meeting.
Juan sighed and suggested, “I say we do what we did earlier. Create more opportunities for Daddy and Mommy to spend time together.”
Nina deliberated before pointing out, “But Mommy thinks she’s dealing with Levant instead of Daddy. Won’t Mommy find it weird if we try to bring them together?”
Juan replied, “She wants to marry Levant, right? Why will it be strange for us to match-make the two of them for her sake?”
