If her grandfather found out about this, he would be delighted.
As she lowered her head to look at Maya, who was eating chocolates, she felt that the girl was truly her lucky charm.
Hence, she carried Maya up into her arms and attacked her with kisses. When she sent Maya out of the house, she even gave the girl two pocketful of the imported snacks she loved.
Maya beamed at the kind woman who had taken care of her and given her delicious snacks, feeling reluctant to part with her.
“Ms. Sheila, will we meet again?”
“Of course. I’ll visit you.”
Looking at the two people who were unwilling to part with each other, Davin sighed.
“All right, all right. You’ve already received the project in exchange for the kid. Let her go back with us now.”
Sheila turned to grin at him.
“Davin, we’ll meet again soon.”
A bitter smile crept upon Davin’s face. I hope we’ll never meet again.
At Summervale.
Nicole was so relieved to have Maya return to her safe and sound.
She crushed Maya in a bear hug upon seeing her.
“Mommy, I can’t breathe.”
Nicole only let her go when she heard her daughter’s murmur.
“Maya, let Mommy have a look at you. Are you hurt? Are you hungry?”
Maya shook her head, then looked at Nicole with her big eyes. “Mommy, I’m sorry for making you worry.”
“It’s all right, as long as you’re fine. Mommy will always keep an eye on you from now on.”
Then, Nina apologized to Maya for being too engrossed in her conversation and losing track of her whereabouts.
“Nina, I’m fine. Here’s a snack for you. These are from Ms. Sheila.”
Nina stared at Maya’s pockets as her jaw slackened in shock.
Meanwhile, Nicole was curious about the person Maya was talking about. Knowing that Maya could not tell her what had happened, she turned inquisitive eyes to Evan.
“What happened?”
