The three little children looked at each other in surprise as they walked out of the study room, shell-shocked by the sudden revelation and feeling helpless to boot.
Juan mentioned to Kyle, “Do you have any idea why Daddy hasn’t come back?”
“Anyway, I won’t believe a word uttered by that witch regarding Daddy’s death.”
“I don’t believe it either. How could our mighty Daddy die?”
“Exactly.”
It was then Yoda realized, in their minds, Daddy was so omnipotent and powerful that he could control life and death.
Children were indeed innocent.
As they had never experienced life or death, they were not aware that death could be knocking on anyone’s door at any point in time.
Kyle sighed, “But if he doesn’t come back, what should we do if Mommy really ends up marrying Mr. Levant?”
“Then we’ll do everything we can to sabotage the wedding. We can’t let Mommy be with Mr. Levant, ever.” Juan decisively said.
“I will sabotage the marriage too. Yoda, will you help us?”
Looking at Maya, Yoda nodded in agreement.
The children were unexpectedly so united. In this matter, he should be the one who should stop the marriage with all his effort.
The four children settled into their respective bedrooms to rest. As Yoda was walking downstairs, he stopped suddenly when he saw the lights were still on in the study room.
Should I just go up to her and confess?
Remaining silent, he decided that the time was not ripe yet. He still needed to hide behind Yoda’s identity to pull off some important tasks.
Once his identity was revealed, all previous efforts would be in vain.
Nicole, I’m so sorry.
He clenched his fingers into a fist, moved his legs, and resumed walking downstairs.
In the meantime, Nicole was sitting at the study, staring in a daze at the human skin mask that the butler had passed to her.
Now she understood why it had not worked when she had forced him to wash his face several times. She had thought that he was wearing a makeup disguise. Instead, he had put on a human skin mask all along.
“Evan Seet, you bastard. You are obviously not dead. You know that I am grieving over your “death”, yet you are unwilling to reveal that you are still alive?”
