Evan leveled a suspicious gaze on Nicole, not knowing how much she had heard.
In response, Nicole shot him a small smile as she pretended like she had not heard a thing. Her tone was calm as she urged, “Let’s get to bed.”
So she really didn’t hear anything?
He nodded, not saying anything more.
Turning around so that her back was facing him, a bitter smile curled Nicole’s lips.
Is it fate that we’ll never be able to be husband and wife?
In truth, she had vaguely made out some of Sophia’s words.
She could understand the Seet family members’ attitudes.
After all, this was an incident where a person’s life had been cut down prematurely.
Sophia had always been rather supportive of Nicole and Evan being together. Yet, this time, even she was advising her son to stop being so stubborn.
Will Evan really breakup with me?
A terrible sadness flashed through her eyes. After a moment, she pushed aside her raging emotions and walked toward their bedroom.
Evan followed her into the room, a small frown twisting his mouth. When he had called her earlier, she had said that she was out buying something.
Yet, she appeared to have returned empty-handed.
“Nicole, you were lying when you said that you’d gone out to buy something, weren’t you?” Evan’s deep voice rang out from behind her.
She stuck her tongue out at him, replying, “Oops, you’ve caught me! I just remembered that I still had some data that I didn’t finish compiling for a proposal. Hence, I made a trip to the company.”
Since he did not want to let her know about the car accident, she would pretend that she was oblivious to it.
This way, their interactions would not be so tense.
The way her tongue stuck out adorably reminded Evan of Maya doing the same.
“Maya most definitely inherited her cuteness from you,” he blurted out.
“Oh really? Then Nina’s arrogant, little princess attitude must have been inherited from you.”
