“Nicole…”

Nicole shot daggers at Davin, who then gently slapped his own cheek right away. “No, no, I should call

you Ms. Lane. Now we have to think of a way to stop Evan from getting Juan’s custody.”

When Nicole was packing her luggage earlier, she thought of taking all her children away with her.

However, on second thought, this wasn’t a long-term solution.

The kids prefer to live in the country, so they’ll probably refuse to move overseas again.

Besides, Evan has brought Kyle up here since young. Hence, it’ll be impractical and so cruel of me to

take him away from his dad.

Yet, I can’t bear to leave him here alone.

So I’m left with only one option, that is to stay in the country with my kids, and to fight for Juan’s

custody.

“But I know my limits. I don’t have what it takes to stand against Evan…” she blurted out while looking

up at Davin.

Staring back at her with a solemn face, Davin said, “Nicole, we can’t fight with him directly, but we’ll

have to use our wits.”

“What do you mean?”

“I’ll find a way to let you stay here, but you need to do your part after that. The huge disparity between

you and Evan makes it impossible for you to compete with him. Therefore, we have to use a soft

approach. Maybe you can try acting coquettishly to persuade him. If it doesn’t work, we’ll have to come

up with another method then.”

Acting coquettishly to coax Evan into letting me stay? That’s too difficult for me!

Thinking of Evan’s ice-cold expression, Nicole believed that he would never respond to her coquettish

act.

He’ll probably think that I’m a lunatic.

Anyway, Davin is right. There’s indeed a huge disparity between Evan and I.

“Ms. Lane, please bear with Evan for Juan’s sake. I’ll make a call now, and I promise Evan won’t kick

you out again for the time being. Please rest assured and stay.”

“Who are you calling?”

“Sophia.”

Only Sophia can help us now.

Davin took out his phone while heading outside to the courtyard.

After Sophia picked up the call, he made sweet talk to flatter her before he got to the point.

“Mom, Evan and Ms. Lane are now at the critical stage of their relationship. Ms. Lane is about to leave

the Hillside Villa for a very long time because of a patient. I’m afraid that all our efforts will be in vain if

she leaves. Evan wants her to stay, but he’s too shy to ask her. We really need your help to make her

stay. Please call and tell Evan that you want Ms. Lane to stay. Is that alright?”

“Well…” Sophia hesitated for a moment, then she answered firmly, “Okay, I’ll call the both of them for

your brother’s sake.”

“Mom, I’m counting on you. This is the turning point of their relationship.”

“Consider it done.” With that said, Sophia hung up the phone.

Afterward, Davin let out a sigh while staring at his phone. If Sophia knows that I’m lying this way, she’ll

surely want to pull my ear so badly.

Soon after, Nicole received a call from Sophia.

Deep down I know that Mrs. Seet is calling to make me stay at the Hillside Villa.

And I really need this now.

That’s why I have promised her that I’ll consider staying.

Meanwhile, Davin gave Nicole a thumbs up. “Ms. Lane, you did the right thing. There’s no way Evan

will disobey Sophia, so I’m sure he’ll beg you to stay.”

But Nicole did not agree with his words.

It’s impossible that Evan will beg me to stay since he’s so aloof and domineering.

It’ll be good enough if he just stops chasing me away so hastily, so that I can convince him.

After calling Nicole, Sophia dialed Evan’s number.

“What? Mom, what did you just say?”

“I said, by hook or by crook, you must get Dr. Tussaud to stay. I’m bringing a friend back, and I want to

meet Dr. Tussaud for medical treatment once I come home. And I’ve called and told her about this

already.”
