Nicole turned around and went into the living room just as she saw Kai humming a tune and walking to the kitchen.
That was strange.
On normal days, Kai would not even step foot into the kitchen if Floyd did not force him to.
What was wrong with him today?
Floyd was sad for a while and sat in the living room, watching TV. He was recently into a period drama.
Nicole was just about to join her father when she heard someone coming down the stairs.
Maverick was walking down the steps as he sighed inexplicably.
'Mav is home?!'
"Mav, did you come home alone? Molly didn’t come back with you?"
Maverick's face stiffened. This was obviously poking his sore spot.
Floyd lifted his eyelids and did not want to speak.
Maverick touched his nose. His elegant face had a hint of embarrassment.
"I'm going back to the research institute tomorrow because it's about time to get back to work. Molly’s staying at home for a while longer.”
Nicole nodded and watched as Maverick walked toward the kitchen.
Kai cheerfully came to greet Nicole. "Lil N, I made some milk tea. Come and try some..."
Nicole was speechless.
'How can he offer me such a fattening drink at this time of day?! I don't wanna get fat!’
Before Nicole could walk to the kitchen, she heard Maverick speaking slowly.
"This liquid has a lot of trans-fatty acids, which will increase cholesterol levels and cause cardiovascular disease. It can even lead to cancer in the human body
H
'Great... My appetite is completely gone now.'
Nicole silently turned around and did not drink it.
Kai was silent for a few seconds. He was speechless for a moment before he said, "Mav, you really have the skills to be single!”
Maverick came out looking crestfallen. His face became gloomier.
Kai hummed a tune while he walked out and handed the cup to Floyd.
"Dad! I made this for you!"
