“I want to settle my scores one by one with you.”
As soon as those words escaped his mouth, he whipped out a piece of paper containing the paternity test result and dangled it in front of her. Recognizing what it was, Nicole was instantly dumbstruck
What drove him to take the paternity test in the first place?
“Nicole Lane, you secretly took my children away and deceived me the whole time. How are you supposed to make it up to me?”
Taken aback for a moment, she regained her wits and shoved him away.
“Mr. Seet, this is not how you settle a score! Since I’ve raised three of your children all by myself, how will you thank me instead?”
Hearing her confession finally, Evan was jubilant. He found it hard to keep up to hide his joy.
After pretending to ponder for a while, he asked, “What do you think is the best way to show my gratitude?”
Ah?
He doesn’t even argue, and immediately agrees to thank her?
What a sudden change in attitude!
Nicole was stunned by the sudden change and nearly lost her composure. “I haven’t thought about it yet. Give me some time to think about it.”
Something rang in her as she quickly added, “Also, I won’t hand over Nina and Maya to you! They are my life! I single-handedly raised them both with my sweat, blood, and tears! If you ever try to take them away, I’ll face you head-on! Mark my words! I’ll make them count!”
Seeing her stubborn face filled with resolve, Evan was at a loss momentarily. As he locked onto her uneasy gaze, he stretched out both his hands and forcefully pulled her into his tight embrace.
“I won’t ever separate them from you! In fact, you don’t have to think about how I should repay you anymore! I’ve already helped you do the thinking!”
“…” She was speechless, her mind blank from the suddenness of it all.
“From now on, I, including everything I have, will be yours!”
Having heard his words filled with such determination, Nicole was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Indescribable. Indistinguishable. It was difficult for her to even catch her breath.
A whirlpool of emotions in the midst of a maelstrom.
She suspected that she was dreaming.
Even in her dreams, she dared not even to think about such a wonderful thing befalling her.
“I will use my whole life to make up to you and the children!” Evan emphasized convincingly.
Right this moment, the floodgate opened as her eyes burst into tears.
It had been a long, tiring, wild ride. Her one drunken deed had led to one absurd encounter which led to a one-night-stand which led to the birth of a set of quadruplets…
She had been running away from reality, avoiding him, and never dared to ask him to make amends.
However, hearing his sincere words, she could not help but felt an embracing warmth in her heart.
