Stephen frowned and asked, “Are you separated from the children’s dad?”
Nicole looked at him in surprise, wondering why the man had asked that question.
“I remember you said the last time that you and Levant liked each other. So does that mean you and the children’s dad are already divorced?”
Nicole recalled that she had made up an excuse the previous time they met so that she could continue staying there. She never thought that Stephen would have such a good memory.
No wonder people said that one lie always led to more lies. She had brought it upon herself.
As such, Nicole could only bite the bullet and nodded.
“It’s not your fault that you needed to experience such a misfortune. As long as you and Levant truly love each other, having the kids around would not be a problem.”
Sigh. Nicole could only continue to be thick-skinned and nodded again.
As she did not want Stephen to stay on that topic, she took the initiative to steer the conversation into another direction. “Are you busy at the estate? Am I keeping you from your work?”
Even though that was what Nicole said, she was mumbling silently in her heart. Please stop asking me questions! I don’t want to go against my conscience and continue lying!
Stephen noticed the woman’s awkward expression and an uneasy expression on her face. He took the chance to inform her that he had some work to settle and left.
Nicole was finally able to heave a sigh of relief.
She understood that she could not blame Stephen for asking so many questions as it was just normal for a dad to be concerned with his son’s marriage.
However, it seemed strange to Nicole that the man did not seem to mind at all that his son wanted to marry a divorced woman with kids.
After much thought, she came to the conclusion that Stephen must have an exceptionally big heart.
After walking a distance, Stephen suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked back at Nicole’s figure in the distance and sighed.
Rosalie, it’s my greatest regret that I wasn’t able to give you a good life! I hope that this woman who looks so much like you can receive the happiness she deserves.
That scene which happened at the garden was secretly filmed by the Portia’s henchman who was spying on them.
Then, he sent the video to the duchess, who watched it while clenching her fists tightly.
The way her husband looked at Nicole was different from the way he looked at anyone else.
