Maya Lane glowered vengefully at Davin Seet.
“Uncle Davin, Aunt Sheila is a good person! Why did you make her cry?”
“I’m trying to make her cry. I just want to save her and myself from a lifetime of misery!”
Davin would rather be single than be bounded to someone he didn’t love.
He wasn’t one who would live for the sake of others.
Maya fell silent and stared at Davin with a big question mark scribbled over her face. She didn’t understand what her uncle was talking about at all.
“Bah, forget about it, Maya. You’re too young to understand anything.”
Maya pouted and returned to her room. Out of the blue, she wanted to give her father a call and ask when was her Mommy going to return.
She dialed Evan’s number on her smartwatch.
“Maya? What’s up?”
“Daddy, when is Mommy coming back?”
Maya’s childish voice melted Evan’s heart in an instant.
Evan paused for a moment before replying, “I’ll bring Mommy back after a few days.”
“Then where’s Mommy? I want to talk to her.”
Evan peered into the study to see Nicole busying herself with the booklets. Sigh, how would the kids feel if they knew that you have lost your memories…
“Maya, Mommy is not free at the moment. She’ll talk to you once she gets back, okay?”
Maya was not satisfied with her father’s answer. I miss Mommy so much! It’s been so long since I last saw her!
After a moment of silence, Evan continued, “Maya, once Daddy gets back, I’ll bring you out to eat and get new toys, alright?”
“Daddy, then when are you coming back? Can I count down the date of your return with both of my hands?”
Evan was stumped. Can I return in ten days?
Evan remained silent for a moment. “I will rush back as soon as I can.” Truth be told, Evan was not sure when he could return home.
“Okay then. Also, Uncle Davin made Aunt Sheila cry just now. You better not bully Mommy, you hear me?”
“I promise I won’t!”
