Sophia was beyond thrilled after hearing this. If Levant indeed found someone with whom to spend the rest of his life, he would no longer cherish Nicole in his heart and would live harmoniously with Evan. Murphy, too, would be delighted to hear about this.
This was splendid news.
She gaped at Levant in excitement. “What if you bring her over right now?”
“Right now?”
Levant moaned bitterly in his mind. He merely came up with a white lie; why must they insist on bringing her over?
He did not know what Tiffany was up to now, and he was not even sure if she was willing to help.
“Is it inconvenient?” Sophia inquired.
“She could be busy now, she…”
“Mom, you have to give him enough time to find an actress. How can he arrange for a woman right away when you are requesting to see her out of the blue?”
Sophia, “…”
Evan still did not believe him and continued to accuse Levant of finding an actress.
Levant’s blood was boiling. I must have had too many unresolved issues with Evan in the past because this jerk just wouldn’t let me go!
Glaring at Evan with hostility, Levant spoke through clenched teeth, “Evan! I’m going to bring her over; just you wait!”
Levant left furiously. Quietly, Sophia sighed.
“Evan, you don’t have to press him on like this. Feelings have to be mutual in a relationship.”
“Grandma, Daddy only wants Mr. Levant to find a girlfriend as soon as possible so that he won’t bother Mommy anymore, “ Juan contended.
Nina agreed, “Yes, Grandma. Daddy is just protecting his love.”
Maya said, “Grandma, we want to see if Mr. Levant’s girlfriend is as beautiful as our Mommy.”
Sophia looked at the mischievous children and smiled helplessly. “These kids surely are Daddy’s best wingmen!”
…
After Levant left Seet Residence in his car, he immediately rang Avril for Tiffany’s home address.
“Why do you want her home address? Do you intend to be her fake boyfriend?”
“No! I just want her to pretend to be my girlfriend.”
“Who is it?”
“It’s me!”
The door opened. Tiffany seemed a little excited to see Levant.
“It’s you? Come in!”
When he walked into the room and saw the decor, he scowled.
“Why didn’t you find a better place than this?”
“I have constraints. I’m already satisfied with a roof over my head, but I’m afraid the money that you’ve lent me…”
“Don’t worry. I’m not here for the money. You can return it whenever you can.”
“Thank you. Please sit. I will make some tea for you.”
While Tiffany went to the kitchen, Levant looked around the living room. His gaze soon landed on the computer monitor, which showed an incomplete blueprint.
He remembered that she worked as a designer. This must be her work.
