Evan turned to look at the children who seemed to know better than to say anything.
After stealing a glance at Evan, Maya quickly lowered her head again, for she had just been reminded by her mother to be careful with her words.
Afraid of being taken away by daddy, Maya knew to keep her mouth shut tight if she wanted to be with mommy.
Even Juan the chatterbox said nothing but continued to stuff his little mouth with noodles.
It only served to make Evan even more curious.
After dinner, Evan texted John and ordered him to investigate as soon as possible and find every male that Nicole had come into contact with while she was abroad.
John, who was about to sleep, opened his eyes wide when he saw Evan’s message.
“Every male? What does Mr. Seet plan to do with that information?”
After muttering something to himself, John quickly arranged the right personnel to start the investigation.
After cleaning up the table, Maya and Nina wanted to help Nicole with the dishes.
“You two should go play with Juan and Kyle. It’s been a while since you guys last got together. Mommy’s good.”
Nina nodded while Maya excitedly ran out of the kitchen.
The four of them started chattering the moment the two sisters joined Juan and Kyle who were watching the television.
Juan then asked Nina if she needed the latest cosmetics because he could give them to her.
“Grandma gave me so much money that I couldn’t possibly spend it all on my own. Let me get you a new set so you can continue practicing with them.”
Nina shook her head, “No, thanks. I still have enough.”
“No, you don’t. You said the materials you used weren’t good enough when you helped Mommy the last time.”
Maya just thought Nina should accept Juan’s offer since she really needed it.
“Helped Mommy?” asked Juan.
“I know!”
Coincidentally, the question reached Nicole when she came out of the kitchen, “Drew what?”
With the drawings in hand, Evan approached Nicole, “The sceneries here. Did you draw them?”
Nicole was stunned to see the sketch she kept in her room.
Whenever she could not sleep at night, she would work on the sceneries. She even planned to add some text to it.
They’re not ready yet.
Why did the children take them out?
Seeing how Nicole’s face turned pale, Nina pointed at Maya, “Mommy, she took them out!”
“Mommy, I only took them out because Juan offered to buy Nina some nice materials. You wanted Nina to color the roses and the walls, but she said the materials she was using weren’t good enough.”
After that, Maya glared at Nina for betraying her when she was just trying to help Nina.
“So it’s really you?”
