This truth coming to light would be the perfect reason for the Seet family members to outrightly refuse Nicole from marrying into the family.
Noting that Evan was not speaking, Davin stood up and left him alone to his thoughts.
Evan had never once felt this helpless before.
Just what am I supposed to do now? What can I do that might affect the outcome of this matter?
Ten minutes later, his phone rang.
Letting out a deep sigh, he answered the call.
“Nicole, is there something that you need?”
“Evan, did Grandpa finally tell you about the unforgivable things that my father has done to the Seets?”
He did not immediately reply. After a while, he uttered, “I’ll tell you later.”
That means that he does know!
“Okay. Then when are you coming back?”
“Tonight. I have an important meeting later in the afternoon.”
“Alright. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Ending the call, Evan was faced with another dilemma.
How am I supposed to tell this to Nicole without making her too upset?
…
That night, Evan picked Juan and Kyle up before bringing them back to Summervale.
On their way there, Juan asked him curiously, “Daddy, is Great-grandpa still mad at Mommy?”
“Juan, Daddy will handle this issue. Both of you need to focus your attention on your schoolwork, okay?”
From that, the young boys understood that their great-grandfather had yet to forgive their mother.
They sighed. Maya and Nina fight all of the time but they’re back on good terms with each other within minutes. Adults make things so serious! Maybe we should give Great-grandpa more time?
“I understand, Daddy. We’ll work hard at school!”
“That’s the spirit!”
They arrived at Summervale just as Nicole returned with Nina and Maya.
Ushering the kids into the toy room, she quickly made her way over to Evan.
“What has my father done to Grandpa?”
