Nina sighed and replied, “Let’s just hope that Mommy doesn’t get suspicious or wonder why we’re acting so differently.”
Maya gave it some thought and suggested, “What do you guys think about telling Mommy that the man standing in front of her isn’t Levant but Daddy instead?”
Juan turned to Maya and replied firmly, “She will chase Daddy away immediately!”
Kyle agreed and instructed, “Don’t let Mommy find out about this, Maya!”
Even though Nina never spoke, she was staring at Maya like the latter was a mystical creature with the strangest mind. In fact, Nina had already scanned Maya several times by the time Kyle finished speaking. It was as if Nina couldn’t understand her sister’s way of thinking at all.
Maya realized that her analysis was wrong when she saw how her siblings disagreed with her. She promised timidly, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell Mommy. I’ll keep the secret.”
“Daddy loves you so much, Maya, so you can’t betray him or sell him out! Got it?”
Maya turned to Nina before nodding earnestly, “Okay, Nina.”
“Alright, back to our agenda…”
The four kids continued discussing how they’d get their parents back together.
The next afternoon, Evan got a call and learned that Davin and Sheila had arrived in K Nation.
Evan was worried about the two of them exposing his identity, so he had John visit the couple and explain everything beforehand.
Davin couldn’t believe his ears when he learned everything. His jaw dropped, and it took him a while before he could get himself to ask, “Are you serious, John?”
“Yes. Mr. Seet is staying in the Wicked Palace as Levant, so you’ll both have to ask Mrs. Seet to help you get into the place. After all, you and Ms. Sheila aren’t close to the real Levant, so Mr. Seet can’t take you in while assuming Levant’s identity.”
Sheila spent some time processing everything she heard.
She later sighed and commented, “Staying with Nicole while assuming another man’s identity… Evan really is going all out for Nicole! But isn’t he worried about Nicole falling in love with the version of Levant that he’s playing?”
“What’s there to worry about? I actually think it’d just prove that their love was true. If Nicole falls for my brother despite him wearing another man’s face then it means that she would love him regardless of what he looks like.”
Sheila was stunned. She shifted her attention to John and asked about the probability of that actually happening.
John replied that he didn’t know because he couldn’t show up in front of Nicole without exposing Evan’s identity. Hence, John hadn’t seen Nicole and didn’t know if the couple’s relationship was progressing the way Davin hypothesized.
He later informed the couple how he had been working on locating the treasure with the Hidden Masters, so no one paid attention to their boss’ love life.
Sheila and Davin were both intrigued when they heard about the treasure hunt.
“What treasure are we talking about here?”
“We have no idea. We haven’t found it yet, so we have no idea what it is.”
“Then how do you know that there’s a treasure?” asked Davin.
John replied, “Mr. Evan mentioned there’s a treasure some time ago. We examined Wicked Palace’s floor plans and realized that Mr. Evan was right. Something has to be hidden within those walls.”
“Wow, you’ve really expanded your field of expertise, John. When did you learn how to read blueprints and plans?” asked Davin as he scrutinized John.
“If you don’t trust me, Mr. Davin, you can go to the Wicked Palace and check the place out for yourself. It’s like a labyrinth in there, and you’ll certainly be impressed.”
John’s words got Davin and Sheila utterly curious. They decided to investigate the matter when they go talk to Evan and help him court his wife.
Now that everything had been thought out, Sheila fished her phone out and called Nicole.
Nicole was surprised and excited to receive the call because it had been a while since she last spoke to Sheila. I wonder if she finally gets what she wants? Is she with Davin? Or have they gone their separate ways?
Nicole asked Sheila all the questions that were burning in her heart.
“It’s been a tough couple of months, Nicole, but I think it’s worth it. I finally got through to Davin, and he decided to spend the rest of his life with me!”
“That’s amazing news! I am so happy for you, Sheila.”
“Thank you, my sweet future sister-in-law!”
“You shouldn’t refer to me as your sister-in-law anymore. I’ve broken up with Evan.”
Sheila sighed sadly before adding, “I know, I heard about what happened. It’s been a while since we last met and there’s so much I’d like to share with you. I miss you and your kids so much. Can I come and visit you guys at the Wicked Palace?”
