She would use the rest of her life to watch him prove it to her.
Half an hour later, a feast was laid out on the table.
There were beef and mutton slices as well as a variety of vegetables.
Maya’s eyes gleamed as her gaze remained locked on the meat slices.
These look so delicious!
Less than three minutes upon sitting down, she had completely forgotten her earlier declaration that she would not eat any meat. She stuffed slice after slice of meat into her mouth happily.
Nicole and Evan shot each other knowing grins.
Their gluttonous little daughter would use just about any excuse so that she could get to eat meat.
Evan gazed at his daughter in amusement as he suggested, “Let’s go for a walk after dinner, okay?”
Since she clearly could not control herself, they would have to come up with a way to increase her exercise.
“A walk?” The little girl thought over his suggestion for several seconds before nodding.
The other three kids piped up eagerly, wanting to go on a walk too.
After dinner, Evan helped Nicole to clean up the table before bringing the children out for a walk.
Nicole stayed behind to wash the dishes. When she was done, she sat down on the couch to relax. Just then, her phone rang.
Checking the caller ID, she saw that it was Sheila.
“Nicole, how are you?”
“Hi. I’m okay. What’s up?”
“What happened back then was not your fault! Don’t be too sad, alright?”
Huh?
Nicole frowned in puzzlement. However, before she could even strike a question, Sheila was already continuing, “Davin told me all about it. You’re not at fault for what your mother did so don’t go blaming yourself, okay? Mr. Seet definitely won’t break up with you over this!”
What did my mother do? Why would Evan want to break up with me? Just what is Sheila going on about! Unless… Evan is hiding something from me?
She probed, “Was my mother over the line?”
“Of course nobody wanted that car accident to happen! I’m sure your mother didn’t mean to hit and kill Davin’s grandmother. Nicole, don’t think so much on this…”
Nicole’s mind went blank.
