Chapter 69
Nicole stammered slightly as she spoke. Her voice was completely devoid of the cocky tone when she faced Evan earlier.
That made it more than obvious to Jonathan and Sophia that she was lying.
“Evan mentioned that you have used, ah, unscrupulous methods. Did you two have a misunderstanding with each other before?” Sophia asked.
Nicole just shook her head, saying she did not remember anything.
Sophia broke into a sudden smile. “You know, you and my son make quite a good match, Ms. Tussaud. I’ve never seen him so angry with a woman before.”
What? In what world does getting angry with someone means a perfect match?
Nicole suddenly felt that her brain was probably short-circuiting because she couldn’t understand Sophia’s viewpoint.
“Well, opposites attract, after all. Ms. Tussaud, are you willing to give it a try and get to know Evan better?”
Nicole never expected Jonathan to suddenly raise a question like this either. In her opinion, if he and his wife could read each other’s minds so well, they were actually a perfect match here.
You want me to get to know Evan better? I only have one life. I don’t think it is enough to play this game with him?
Juan just watched the entire affair unfold with wide eyes. He never expected his Mommy and Daddy to still have a chance to get back together like how he and Kyle hoped for, especially after Mommy made Daddy storm off after their arguments. Is God looking out for us?
This was the best chance they would ever get. He needed to convince Mommy to take it, no matter what.
I have to persuade Mommy to stay together with Daddy!
Juan walked over to his mother’s side, looking at her pitifully. “Ms. Tussaud, if you really try to get to know Daddy, then you can visit me more too! I miss you a lot already, and I want to see you every day!”
Kyle…
Juan’s words were a sudden reminder to Nicole.
She could kill two birds with one stone. This was not just a chance for her to approach Evan but also a chance for her to meet with Kyle more often.
If she could see Kyle more often and maybe even do something for him, she could hopefully make up for some of the motherly duties that she had missed. She owed Kyle far too much.
Seeing that Nicole was slightly moved, Sophia quickly jumped in to advise her. “Our Kyle likes you a lot too! Just try to get along with Evan. If it doesn’t work out, we won’t force you to do anything. We don’t want to push you or anything, but Evan has been single for so long that it’s truly becoming a matter that weighs heavily on both of us being his parents.”
Sophia’s gaze landed awkwardly on “Kyle” as she spoke. Then, she hurriedly added, “Kyle’s birth was an accident. We’re not sure who his mother is, but you don’t have to worry, Ms. Tussaud. I’m sure he’ll accept you as his real mother.”
Yeah, I’m sure no one else knows more about that “accident” than I do.
Nicole smiled slightly, reaching out to pat Juan’s head. “I like Kyle a lot too! Would you like me to try and get along with Evan?”
Sophia paused to think for a moment. “Will being a nanny be too upsetting for you? Evan has a maid, but I can arrange for you to be Kyle’s nanny in name and take care of him. It will certainly give you many chances to approach Evan and get to know him better.”
Nicole would do anything to take care of Kyle.
For that point alone, she nodded in agreement to Sophia’s plan. “Of course! I’m willing to take care of Kyle.”
“That’s fantastic! I really hope that you and Evan will turn out to be quarrelsome lovers who can find happiness with each other.”
Nicole just smiled and remained silent. She did not allow herself the luxury of thinking that she would ever stay together with Evan, the man who wanted nothing more but to get rid of her.
Davin was surprised as well. He never expected Nicole to agree to the plan so easily, but she did.
Living at Hillside Villa with Evan?
What are they going to do? Snipe at each other all the time?
Unbidden, a grin spread across Davin’s face. It seemed like there would be no shortage of entertaining shows to watch in the future.
Juan was excited to see his Mommy agree as well. He hurriedly excused himself to find a quiet place without anyone else where he could call Kyle to give him the good news.
When Kyle heard the news, he was delighted as well. He did not expect the results to be even better than their plan. It looked like his Mommy had already gotten Grandpa and Grandma’s approval too.
“Kyle, we’ll have to switch back. Mommy’s going to Hillside Villa tomorrow to take care of you.”
“When and where then?”
“This afternoon, I guess. It depends on the situation. Don’t worry, I’ll call you.”
“Okay!”
After lunch, Davin excitedly left the Seet Residence with “Kyle” in tow, bringing him out on the promised outing.
On the way there, Juan kept asking where they were going, but Davin just remained annoyingly secretive. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Oh, stop asking! You’ll like it, I promise.”
So mysterious?
Juan could only continue wondering.
Davin’s car sped along on the wide road. Juan found himself suddenly worrying that Kyle might be unable to meet him wherever they were going if Davin went too far.
Thankfully, their destination was not very far. Davin parked his sports car properly before turning to look at Kyle smugly.
“Well, Kyle, I bet you’ve never been here before!”
