“You can do it,” Chris encouraged.
“All right. Nina, Mommy and Daddy will head back first. You’ll stay here for your lesson. We’ll ask the maid to pick you up later.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
“Safe journey, Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet.”
As Chris watched Evan and Nicole leave, something dark flashed across his gentle face. It seemed like he was hiding something behind his bright smile.
“Mr. Sanders, what will we learn first?”
Nina’s voice dragged him back to his senses. He turned to her and muttered, “I have a list of ingredients here. Memorize their names first.”
“Okay.”
Nina took the list and slowly memorized them.
Meanwhile, after Davin and Sheila left, Sophia brought maids along with her to the address Davin gave her; she hurried to Davin’s ex-girlfriend’s place.
It had been difficult for Davin and Sheila to get together, and she would not let another woman destroy their relationship. She had to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. The Seet family was rich; she was more than willing to use lots of money, as long as this other woman kept a distance from Davin and stop threatening his relationship with Sheila.
“This is it?”
“Ma’am, this is the address Mr. Davin gave us.”
“Knock on the door.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Ms. Lawrene stepped forward and knocked on the door.
Soon, the door opened. When the woman saw Sophia and Ms. Lawrene, she froze.
The latter remarked, “I’m fine. Sit down, and let’s have a talk.”
Renee knew Davin’s mother must be here for a reason. However, she could not think of what reason it could be.
She was interested in what she was about to say.
“Mrs. Seet, do speak your mind.”
“All right. I like your straightforward attitude, so I’ll be direct. You used to be in a relationship with my son, Davin, right?”
Hearing her mention of their past relationship, Renee nodded in silence.
Sophia sighed before she continued, “Fate is cruel, and the two of you weren’t meant to be. He now has a new girlfriend, and they’re about to get married. Davin’s father and I picked his girlfriend personally, and her status matches ours. Moreover, she’s a match for Dad. So… Since some things have gone by, let them stay in the past. Davin said he feels he owes you, and he wants to make up to you. So, tell us what you need, and the Seet family will do our best to give you that.”
Renee was quick to digest the information. Sophia was telling her that Davin was about to marry his girlfriend of equal status and that her relationship with the man was now in the past. The Seet family would give her something she needed for what Davin owed her. Most importantly, Sophia was warning her to keep a distance from Davin.
