Before they left, Levant gave Davin two bottles of premium red wine from the wine cellar.
Seeing that, Sheila was quite happy. Tonight, she planned to have a candlelight dinner with Davin.
“There are only two of us having this candlelight dinner. Why don’t we take a bottle each and take it home to our parents?” Davin dashed her hopes.
Sheila looked at the two bottles of red wine in her hands and looked up at Davin. Then, she challenged, “Are you really going to take this back for your family or, are you planning to go to the bar to offer them to your trashy friends?”
“What are you talking about? Of course, it’s for my parents!” Davin protested.
Sheila sharp eyes scanned him from head to toe and still felt a little uneasy, so she proposed to go back with him.
“You want to follow me to Seet Residence?” Davin was bewildered.
Sheila nodded.
“Yes. It’s that a problem?” She probed.
Of course.
Davin forced a smile and agreed reluctantly. Then, he obediently returned to Seet Residence with Sheila.
As the second young master of the Seet family, he was flirtatious and playful. However, Sheila is controlling him even before they got married, and in his opinion, she was too unreasonable.
It looks like I have to find a way to reinstate dominance in our relationship.
When they returned to Seet Residence, Jonathan and Sophia saw Davin and Sheila with two bottles of wine, so they happily ordered the kitchen to prepare more food to go along with the wine. Additionally, they insisted on Sheila staying for dinner.
Sheila did not reject and agreed without a second thought. She even suggested for Nicole, Evan and the quadruplets to come over for dinner.
“I will call Nicole and ask them to join us for dinner too.”
“Alright, you can give them a call while I make more food in the kitchen,” Sophia said.
Sheila nodded and called Nicole.
Hearing the offer, Nicole pondered for a moment before she used her dad as an excuse to decline it. She told her that she did not want to leave her dad alone at Imperial Garden.
Sheila was very understanding and replied, “Sure, we can meet up another time then.”
“Okay.”
With that, Nicole ended the call and sighed. She only declined because she was not feeling well. Crawling out of bed, she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked ghostly and could feel her heart palpitating quickly.
She did not know what was going on. Why was she feeling tired and weak the whole day? Was she going to hallucinate again?
She took a deep breath and looked at the tranquilizer prescribed to her by the doctor. I need more of these.
Getting out of bed, she walked out of the bedroom listlessly. She felt dizzy and in a daze as though she was dreaming.
When she reached the stairs to head down, she suddenly froze.
The stairs…they look like they are disappearing. It looks like a fairy bridge…is there something wrong with my eyes?
She closed her eyes and opened them again, but it was the same as before. What on earth is going on?
As a result, she hesitated to head downstairs. However, she suddenly heard Maya crying, and she sounded very miserable. It made her heart ache.
“Maya…”
She shouted and started to run down the stairs. Unfortunately, she missed the first step and fell down the stairs. In pain, she let out a yelp.
Ouch!
My shoulder hurts, but my face hurts even more.
A wave of fear swept over her, and she was worried that she would be disfigured.
The maids who heard her screaming rushed over to help her up. “Mrs. Seet, what happened? Are you okay?”
With a trembling hand, she reached out to touch her face. She could see blood on her fingers.
“Oh, I’m bleeding.” There is blood on my face. Will there be a scar?
“Mrs. Seet, you are injured. Let’s head to the hospital!”
Since Nicole got a cut on her face, she was concerned. Nodding, she stuttered, “Let the chauffeur send me there now.”
The maids helped her downstairs, and when Stephen saw blood on her face, he worriedly rushed over to check the situation.
“Dad, I’m fine. I am going to the hospital now,” Nicole assured.
“I’ll accompany you there,” Stephen offered.
“Dad, I think you should stay here to look after the children.”
“They are still in school and have yet to return,” Stephen explained.
Nicole was stunned. Earlier, she rushed downstairs anxiously because she thought she heard Maya crying. Did she hear it wrongly?
