Looks like I’ll have to pay more attention to Nina in the future.
At night, after lulling the two kids to sleep, Nicole stared dreamily at Maya’s beloved wreath, smiling occasionally as she wondered about that person who made the wreath for her back then.
With a ripple in her heart, she walked out of the room quietly, and looking up at the moon, a figure appeared in her mind. She remembered that the rose trellis looked very lovely in the moonlight.
Unknowingly, Nicole found herself in the front yard. She had just stood under the trellis when Evan, who had returned from outside, saw her.
Unable to make out who the figure belonged to from a distance, Evan approached her slowly.
What is this woman doing here at this time? He frowned upon realizing who the person was.
“Sneaky. Here to steal flowers?”
The sudden voice broke Nicole from her reverie. She looked back over her shoulder and saw the man walking in, reeking of alcohol.
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s not what you think it is, Mr. Seet. I’m just looking around.”
“Enjoying the view? At this hour?” Evan questioned her motive, his tone full of disbelief.
Feeling speechless, Nicole swept an annoying glance at him and said, “What else can I do here besides admiring the flowers?”
“You know yourself best,” Evan snorted, sizing her up. “You and your little intentions.”
Intentions?
Right, there’s always a cloud of suspicion hanging over me in his eyes.
Not wanting to bother herself with him, Nicole headed back to the rear house.
Evan regarded her retreating back with a frown, sniffing the smell of alcohol on his body.
Did she just leave? Logically speaking, this woman wouldn’t have let go of such a good opportunity.
“Good that you understand your own limits,” Evan muttered to himself and walked toward the room.
The following night after school, Evan brought Kyle and Juan back to Rose Garden.
The two children put down their school bags and immediately ran to the rear house. They couldn’t wait to see Nicole.
Nicole was overjoyed to see them as well.
“Kyle, Juan, what would you like to have for dinner? Mommy will make it for you.”
