“Alright.” Evan agreed with a nod.
When Maya was finally downstairs, John asked her, “Where’s your drumstick?”
“Daddy ate it.”
“Wow! You’re amazing, Maya.”
Maya was bashfully happy upon being praised. But when she saw Susan walking over, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. The little girl hung her head and stayed silent.
Kyle, who had been keeping an eye on Susan, saw the abrupt change in Maya and suddenly thought that he could give his sister a role during the wedding tomorrow.
At the Wicked Palace, Nicole had gotten in bed even though it was still early. She didn’t want to think too much as she had already decided to marry Levant. Questions like whether or not she loved him, or if she married for love, or if she actually wanted to marry him all, didn’t seem important anymore.
As long as the wedding goes smoothly, Sir Musgrave will be able to return to the estate. I can then officially bid goodbye to my past and cut off any ties with Evan.
It’s better like this anyway.
At the thought of it, she closed her eyes and forced herself to fall asleep.
After a while, she finally drifted off to dreamland.
However, she had a nightmare that night.
She dreamed that Evan showed up at the wedding and fought with Levant with a dagger in hand as her children cried on the side.
After that, Murphy appeared. While Evan was distracted, Murphy pierced his sword through the latter’s chest. In an instant, Evan’s white shirt was dyed red and blood gushed out from his wound.
“Evan!” she screamed and sat up abruptly.
Nicole’s heart was racing and her head was covered in sweat.
After taking a deep breath, she looked around her room and realized it was just a dream. Nevertheless, her chest felt tight.
Why would I dream of something like this suddenly?
Nicole, you’re marrying Levant. Why do you care so much about Evan’s safety?
Back then, he sent you to prison and left you to be tortured. He wanted to kill you! He was so ruthless and heartless, yet you’re still worried about his safety?
Are you stupid? Doesn’t your heart hurt?
