Evan was amused by how jealous Nicole seemed, so he reached out to caress her fair cheek. “I know very well what kind of person Susan is. Don’t worry. I’ll get the bottom of it.”
Nicole would like to know what he would do to Susan after he found out the truth.
She felt asking him directly but then decided that it was better to see for herself what the man would do.
Another breeze came up, making her sneeze twice, so Evan wrapped his arms around her. “Let’s go back inside, You’ll catch a cold if we stay any longer.”
She nodded, and the two walked back shoulder to shoulder. Another cool breeze came up, but his warm hand held hers tightly, so the cold did not bother her.
Looking at how the two walked into their bedroom intimately, the four children were relieved.
Maya’s eyes sparkled with joy. “Daddy and Mommy are finally together then! How wonderful!”
“Our family is now complete, all thanks to Grandma!” exclaimed Nina.
“Good thing Grandma and Grandpa got there in time. Things would’ve been very different if we only had Uncle Davin to depend on. Mommy might have even actually become Levant’s wife!” sighed Juan solemnly.
“So it’s been proven that your Uncle Davin is unreliable!”
Davin and Sheila were walking down the stairs and just happened to hear Kyle.
“What did I ever do to you, Kyle? How can you say such things about your own uncle? And how has it been proven? Come on, tell me.”
Kyle glanced at his uncle coldly. “Not only have you failed to rescue Daddy, but you also failed to stop the wedding between Mommy and Levant.”
Davin felt the need to explain himself to the children.
“That’s not my fault! Blame your Grandpa. He promised to rescue your Daddy and have your Mommy and Daddy go back together. I only did nothing because I trusted him.”
Kyle unceremoniously rolled his eyes at his uncle. “That doesn’t even make any sense!”
“How can you blame Grandpa when you’re the one who was incapable of rescuing Daddy? That’s not right, Uncle Davin.”
Davin could not believe that his nieces and nephews were turning against him, so he continued to defend himself.
“Your Grandma may have rescued him, but I’m the one who contacted her, so you can also say that I’m the one who rescued your daddy. Besides, Sophia’s my mother. What difference does it make which one of us rescued Evan? In conclusion, considering the two points mentioned, you can regard me as your daddy’s savior.”
After the four exchanged pointed looks, Nina suddenly said, “Well, Grandma promised to buy us new clothes and give us presents. Since there’s no difference between you and Grandma, why don’t you do that for us instead?”
Among the Seets, Davin was the only poor one, so clever Nina targeted her uncle’s money.
After clearing his throat multiple times, Davin put on a dry smile. “I think you better ask your grandma for that because, your Grandma and I, we don’t mingle our money. You can ask her yourself if you don’t believe me.”
Sheila glanced at her fiancé and solemnly told him, “You’re a man, Davin. Stop being so cheap! And you’re my man, which is all the more reason why you should be more generous.”
She then promised the children to take them shopping the next day and buy them whatever they want.
The four cheered happily and thanked her before turning back to continue ridiculing their uncle.
“You’re not even as generous as a woman, Uncle Davin.”
“Stop being a cheapskate, Uncle Davin.”
“If you keep that up, we’ll only spend time with Aunt Sheila and not you.”
When the children were done throwing remarks at Davin, they all went into their bedroom, leaving the man to wonder helplessly if he would have enough for his wedding and future children.
What’s wrong with being thrifty?
