Evan was a little disappointed and let out an inaudible sigh.
It’s fine if she doesn’t want to be with me now. When the time is right, I’m sure she’ll come back to me.
“Let’s sleep now. The weather’s getting cold. Here, keep yourself warm with the blanket.”
His deep and thick voice was so calming that it warmed her heart.
After covering her with the blanket, he wished her goodnight.
Having someone sharing her bed made it difficult for her to sleep. She tried keeping her eyes shut, but her heart was still thumping in her chest.
At first, Nicole thought she would not sleep in peace because she kept reminding herself to stay on guard.
In the end, she managed to sleep like a log and even had a sweet dream.
She slept through the night, and by the time she woke up, the bright morning sun had already shone into the room.
Nicole looked around and noticed the other side of the bed empty.
She picked up her watch, checked the time, and was shocked to see that it was already 9 a.m.
“But how come the kids are so quiet? Are they still asleep? They’re going to be late for school!”
She immediately hopped out of bed and ran to their bedroom.
Oh? They’re not around.
She went back to her room and gave Evan a call.
“Hi Mr. Seet, did you send the kids to school?”
“Yes.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t mention it. You can find your breakfast in the microwave oven.”
He made me breakfast too?
Nicole was touched by his gestures.
All these years, she had single-handedly taken care of the little ones through thick and thin. For once, it felt great to be taken care of.
After ending the call, she freshened up and enjoyed the breakfast he prepared. All of a sudden, she recalled something that had happened last night.
While she was almost asleep, she knew someone covered her with the blanket. She also felt someone whispered something into her ears but did not hear it clearly.
