“What? But why?” Nicole was rather shocked.
“I don’t have all the answers, but one thing I know for sure is that it’s got to do with you. He wants to tear us apart.”
Nicole was guessing the same.
“Levant… Levant wants to marry me, but I’m not sure why. And… and I’m actually not Zane Lane’s biological daughter. Levant told me that my biological father is someone from the Musgrave family.”
Nicole’s looked at him, all serious, as if revealing a big secret.
However, Evan did not seem surprised at all. “Do you want to know who your biological father is?” He asked calmly.
Nicole paused for a moment, and then nodded.
Of course she wanted to know who he was. She had always been trying to imagine how her biological parents were like. How they met, and why her mother never told her anything about him.
“Then you must pretend not to know about anything in front of Levant.”
Nicole’s eyes widened. “Are you not jealous about Levant wanting to marry me?” She asked.
Pursing his lips into a smile, Evan replied, “He’ll give up sooner or later. Moreover, what do you intend on doing to make me jealous? Right before my eyes?” He pinched her, chuckling lightly.
Upon hearing that, Nicole breathed deeply and looked away. “I… I wasn’t thinking about anything. I wasn’t thinking straight.”
“Hah… Good girl! Alright, let’s go home.”
Watching Evan put on the Yoda mask again, Nicole could not help but sigh.
“Why didn’t you choose a more handsome mask?”
Evan coughed awkwardly.
Hmph. I’m doing that for your reputation. What would people say if they see you and the kids with some other handsome man after my death? And yet you are asking me such a question? Hah… How heartless of you.
“Let’s get going.” Evan sounded a little displeased.
Nicole got dressed and walked out of the private room because it seemed that Evan was not planning on giving any explanations.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Garden.
Juan stood before the three other kids. His gave a mysterious expression, and said, “Guys, I think that Yoda is our Daddy!”
