After agonizing over it for a while, Rocky decided to drop by and visit her. However, for the sake of Yan Group’s reputation, he promised himself that he wouldn’t butt heads with Evan Seet this time. Instead, he would soften his attitude towards that man and treat him like a friendly acquaintance.
After all, given his current situation, he couldn’t afford to let Ian pick on another one of his mistakes again.
By the time Rocky arrived at Summervale, Nicole and Evan were already gathered around the dining table with the four children. A steaming pot of beef stew had been set down in the middle of the table.
Seeing him, Nina exclaimed joyfully, “Uncle Rocky, you’re here!”
Nicole looked quite surprised by his arrival, too. “Rocky! I didn’t think you would suddenly drop by for a visit. Why don’t you have dinner with us?”
Rocky smiled and shifted his gaze to Evan.
“Mr. Seet, may I join all of you for dinner?”
His words made Nicole feel a little perturbed.
After all, this house belonged to Rocky. Why was he behaving like a guest and asking permission from Evan first?
Evan shot him a look and said coldly, “You’re not welcome here.”
He couldn’t be bothered to be polite to Rocky.
To Mr. Seet, this was the most polite he could be with his love rival, especially one who was shameless enough to show up at Nicole’s door.
Rocky stood in the doorway, aghast. Before he could say anything, Nicole jumped in and snapped, “Mr. Seet, how could you be so impolite! This place belongs to Rocky. What’s wrong with him staying for dinner?”
Is Nicole still unaware that Evan Seet bought this apartment from me?
Rocky smiled blandly. “Nicole, you’re wrong about that. This place belongs to Mr. Seet now. He bought this apartment from me.”
Rocky seemed to place an emphasis on the word ‘bought’.
Nicole swung around to look at Evan in shock.
No wonder he had taken it upon himself to behave like the owner of this place and refurbish this entire place a few days ago! He was now the owner of this apartment!
However, he had never spoken a word about it to her.
Evan had bought her a house, helped her out with her struggling family business, and taken such good care of her kids…
Why had his attitude towards her undergone such a huge shift recently?
Nicole couldn’t make any sense of it.
