“Really?” Evan furrowed his brows, surprised by her sudden change of demeanor.
“Yes! A kind man like you never keeps things to himself. Tell me now.”
“I’m not a kind man, so you’re not being truthful.” He was dissatisfied with her response.
Nicole frowned. What should I say to please him, then? I can’t be telling him that he’s the biggest meanie in the world.
“John, please take the kids and get going. I need to talk to my wife.” John immediately did as per Evan’s instructions.
The four kids immediately scurried off. After walking some distance away, Juan asked curiously, “What’s Daddy and Mommy going to talk about?”
“I don’t know. The way Mommy praised Daddy just now made me blush.” Nina covered her cheeks with her hands.
Walking behind her sister, Maya asked, “Why were you blushing?”
“I couldn’t stand the flattery. Mommy is so thick-skinned, lying through her teeth like that.”
Juan replied, “It doesn’t matter that Mommy is thick-skinned as long as Daddy likes it.”
“That’s right. I just wish that they’ll be fine together, so we won’t need to worry about them. My little heart has gone through too much; I need to eat more to nourish my system.”
Nina rolled her eyes at Maya. She’s going to become as fat as a beached whale.
However, she dared not to poke fun at her sister after experiencing the powerful Maya’s Hammer.
Trailing behind the kids, John eyed the little ones with a strange look.
Mr. Seet’s kids are so sensible and mature. They behave as if they’re grown-ups. I also wonder what Mr. and Mrs. Seet are talking about.
Meanwhile, Nicole looked at Evan and asked sincerely, “What do you want me to say so that you’ll be satisfied?”
Evan’s thin lips curled up in an enchanting smile.
Just as she figured out what the man was about to do, he had already forcefully pinned her to the wall.
“Evan, what are you doing?”
With an arm against the wall, he leaned closer to her ear and asked, “Should I lock you up when we get home?” His voice was cold yet alluring.
The lashes of Nicole’s big, watery eyes fluttered.
What does he mean? Why does he want to lock me up out of the blue?
“Who gives you the right to lock me up?”
The man placed another hand on her waist and squeezed it gently.
“Because you’ve been naughty.”
Naughty? Is this a valid reason? He’s just trying to frame me!
“Nonsense! I’m as docile as a sheep,” Nicole refuted him in all seriousness.
In an instant, Evan’s gaze on her changed.
How can she say those words unabashed when she’s so aggressive?
Fidgeting nervously under his piercing gaze, she turned her head aside. “You… You said I’ll get to know who my dad is soon. Did you find any clues?”
“I found an important person. Everything will be revealed as soon as we see him.”
An important person who’s related to this matter?
Nicole mulled it over for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. Could it be him?
“Is… Is it Wesley?”
Evan gave her a nod.
“Are you surprised?”
Yes, I’m really surprised. Once I meet Wesley, I’ll be able to uncover the identity of my biological father, the b*stard who abandoned my mom! And I’ll make him regret it.
“How did you find him?”
Evan gave her an enigmatic smile. No matter who she wants to see, I’ll find the person for her.
Nicole was totally bewitched by his charming smile.
“Evan, you’re so good to me; let me repay you.”
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she closed her eyes bashfully and pouted her lips in a tantalizing way.
“Is that all?”
Obviously, Evan was looking for more.
“Is this not considered repayment? What else do you want?”
He reached out and gently pinched her ivory cheek. “Of course not! The repayment I want from you is…”
While speaking, his hand was already trailing along her body.
